So, it's 9:30am, February 22nd 2025, and all your blood is running to your fingers as you refresh Simpli Events for the 3 millionth time. Error page. Error page. Error page. Then, you see the dreaded words: Sold Out. What would you do for a second chance at a Dashcon ticket? Okay, now what would you do if you accidentally ordered two tickets and yoinked someone else's chance? If your answer was: "Well, I'd start a grassroots campaign to recruit a collection of hopefuls to compete in a series of online competitions, with the three finalists facing off in Fandom Jeopardy to obtain my extra ticket and absolve myself of that good old Catholic Guilt", then you would get along famously with Doc, creator of the Dashcon Trials. In this episode, I talk to Ferret (Champion of Mind), Foggy (Champion of Body), and Dotty (Champion of Spirit and the Final Victor) as well as the whole team of Trial Lords who organized and executed this wacky competition.

Thank you to my new crew members who have helped me with some of the editing of this episode, Ayanna and Azriel! (yes. that is his given name. he did not name himself after undertale.)
