The Lord God of the infinite-flow world had grown tired of its work. It convened an ultimate competition for a million players, intending to pass on the torch.
Alan, an expert in infinite-flow bugs, happened to find one and logged in ahead of schedule, before the ultimate competition had even begun.
Several years later, just as the million players had finished logging in, an announcement appeared that only players could see.
"World Announcement: In a distant place, Player A663's nation has entered the Second Industrial Revolution!"
The million players were all dumbfounded.
