Apiarist

Apiarist is the term used by the Free Play Killer Queen League for the ultimate person responsible for all actions of the team. Governor in the NBA or owner in the NFL would be equivalent terms. While not specifically required to do any specific task (delegation is recommended highly), they are the final say on team name, auction picks, player personnel, included which players are retained during the off season. To prevent a conflict of interest as a player, Apiarists are all allowed to play for their team and no HoneyCoin cost, save for any fees associated with being an All Star (this is meant to balance the teams). Future league plans include a tiered league system, in that event Apiarist may trade their player rights to another tiered team (in case there is a disparity of the level of team and play level of the Apiarist.)

Apiarist also make up the vast majority of the league's front office, voting on proposals for new season dates, rule changes, and other administrative issues. It's common for Apiarist to initially organize private chats and strategy sessions for their team. It is worth noting that the Apiarists of the league are not typically chosen from the top players in the league, rather they are frequently chosen from dedicated intermediate players whom are invested in the future of the league and local community.

Current Apiarists:

* Mihir - BattleHive Apis
* Crystal - Pollen Count
* Nate - From Dusk Map Til Dawn
* Valerie - Results May Berry
* EllaMae - Honey Bunnies
* Deandre - The Wanna Bees

Former Apiarists:

* Megan - The Wanna Bees (S1-5)
* Bryan - Bee-2 Bombers (S1-4)
* Molly - Boo Bees (S1-4)
* Sarah - Jelly Bees (S2-3)
* Rudy - Takin Care of Beez'ness (S5)

# Season 6

Season 6 of the Free Play Killer Queen League (FPKQL) began on November 27th, 2022. The league featured a single-elimination tournament-style postseason and a competition for the Nikita Cup during the regular season.

**Nikita Cup**

The season table featured a round-robin format where all teams face off against each other twice. Battlehive Apis was crowned the Nikita Cup champion. The final group standings for Season 6 are as follows:

### Honey Pot Championship

The post-season Honey Pot tournament for FPKQL Season 6 was a thrilling and hotly contested event, with teams battling for glory on the Killer Queen machine. The tournament began with Pollen Count's dominating 4-0 victory over Honey Bunnies. Despite the depleted state of the Honey Bunnies team, Emily stepped up as their queen and put up a valiant effort.

In the second match of the tournament, Results May Berry came out on top against The Wanna Bees, winning 4-2 in a hard-fought battle. The inside trio of Richard, Bri, and Ramiro were particularly instrumental in securing the win.

Battlehive Apis continued their dominance in the league, defeating Pollen Count 4-0 in their match. This was a signature dominant performance for Battlehive, who repeated their performance from the previous league date and propelled themselves into the finals.

The set of the night was the match between Results May Berry and From Dusk Map Til Dawn, which went all the way to a thrilling game 7. Standout performances from both teams made this a match to remember, with Joshua of From Dusk Map Til Dawn leading his team with 25 military kills. The difference-maker for Results May Berry turned out to be Bri, who got 6 queen kills and seemed to take it upon herself to be a thorn in her brother's side in every map.

In the final match, Battlehive Apis faced off against Results May Berry and secured a commanding 4-0 victory. The magic run came to an end for Results May Berry, as Battlehive capped off their perfect 10-0 record by winning the Honey Pot trophy. KT once again proved to be a major difference-maker, getting three queen kills, including the final one that ended the season and claimed the Honey Pot for her team.

In recognition of his exceptional performance throughout the season, Eric was awarded his third MVP award as the league's most valuable player.

As a member of The Wanna Bees, Chris has consistently brought his A-game to the cabinet, earning him a spot on the All Star team in Season 4.

FPKQL Auction

The FPKQL Auction is the process by which teams in the league can acquire new players for their roster. It takes place before the start of each season and allows teams to bid on players using a virtual currency called HoneyCoin.

All players who are interested in joining the league must register for the auction before the auction day. On auction day, the teams take turns making bids on players, starting with the team that had the worst record in the previous season. Teams can make bids on as many players as they want, as long as they have enough HoneyCoin remaining.

If no other team makes a higher bid, the player goes to the team that made the highest bid. If another team makes a higher bid, the bidding continues until a team makes a bid that is not exceeded by any other team. The maximum bid that a team can make on a player is 35 HoneyCoin. If a team makes a bid of 35 HoneyCoin on a player, the bid is automatically accepted and the team wins the player.

After the auction is complete, each team will have a roster of five to six players. All registered players will have a team by the end of the auction
HoneyCoin

HoneyCoin (HC) is a form of currency used within the FPKQL (Free Play Killer Queen League) to bid on and reserve players for teams. Each team is awarded 100 HC at the beginning of each season to be used in the player auction. If a team's bid is not exceeded, they win the player and the HC is immediately subtracted from their total for the season.

Teams may also reserve players for future seasons by assigning them a certain number of HC. Players costing between 0-4 HC are entered into the auction after one season. Players costing 5-24 HC are entered into the auction after two seasons. Players costing 25-34 HC are reentered into the auction after three seasons. Players costing 35 HC (the maximum for one player) may be kept for four seasons.

HC is also used to reserve players who have reached their maximum service time with a team. If both the player and their team's Apiarist agree, the player can be granted TLE (Team Loyalty Exception) status, which allows them to remain with the team for an additional four seasons at a cost of 35 HC.

In addition to being used for player auctions and reservations, HC is also used to assign costs to players based on their previous season awards. Players who were named All Stars or League MVPs are assigned an additional 5 HC cost to their team.

Teams may not exceed their allotted HC total for the season and are not allowed to carry over any unused HC to future seasons. However, HC is tradable within a given season until it expires.

It is important to manage HC wisely, as it is the primary means of acquiring and retaining players in the FPKQL. Teams must consider the long term effects of their HC allocations, as well as the immediate needs of their roster.

## Publisher's summary

Gary Jennings's *Aztec Autumn* recreates a forgotten chapter of history in all its splendor and unforgettable passion.

The magnificent Aztec empire has fallen beneath the brutal heal of the Spaniards. But one proud Aztec, Tenamaxtli, refuses to bow to his despised conquerors. He dreams of restoring the lost glory of the Aztec empire, and recruits an army of rebels to mount an insurrection against the seemingly invincible power of mighty Spain.

Tenamaxtli's courageous quest takes us through high adventure, passionate women, unlikely allies, bright hope, bitter tragedy, and the essence of 16th century Mexico. This incredible rebellion has been little remembered, perhaps because it shed no glory on the men who would write the history book, but on its outcome depended the future of all North America.

## Publisher's summary

Composed toward the end of the first millennium, Beowulf is the elegiac narrative of the adventures of Beowulf, a Scandinavian hero who saves the Danes from the seemingly invincible monster Grendel and, later, from Grendel's mother. He then returns to his own country and dies in old age in a vivid fight against a dragon. The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, and then having to live on in the exhausted aftermath. In the contours of this story, at once remote and uncannily familiar at the beginning of the twenty-first century, Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney finds a resonance that summons power to the poetry from deep beneath its surface. Drawn to what he has called the "four-squareness of the utterance" in Beowulf and its immense emotional credibility, Heaney gives these epic qualities new and convincing reality for the contemporary reader.

Books of Mortals

## Forbidden

Fleeing pursuit, with only moments to live, a young man named Rom stumbles into possession of a vial of blood and a piece of cryptic writing. When consumed, the blood will bring him back to life. When decoded, the message will lead him on a perilous journey that will require him to abandon everything he has ever known and awaken humanity to the transforming power of true life and love. But the blood will also resurrect hatred, ambition, and greed at terrible risk.

The first book in a thrilling series set in a desolate future, *Forbidden* begins a journey that continues with *Mortal* and will conclude with *Soverign*. From the combined pens of master storytellers Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee, this tale of passionate love and dark desires peels back the layers of the heart for all who dare to take the journey.

## Mortal

Centuries have passed since civilization's brush with apocalypse. The world's greatest threats have all been silenced. There is no anger, no hatred, no war. There is only perfect peace...and fear. A terrible secret was closely guarded for centuries: every single soul walking the earth, though in appearance totally normal, is actually dead, long ago genetically stripped of true humanity.

Nine years have gone by since an unlikely hero named Rom Sebastian first discovered a secret and consumed an ancient potion of blood to bring himself back to life in Forbidden. Surviving against impossible odds, Rom has gathered a secret faction of followers who have also taken the blood - the first Mortals in a world that is dead.

On the heels of *Forbidden* comes *Mortal*, the second novel in The Books of Mortals saga penned by Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee. Set in a terrifying, medieval future, where grim pageantry masks death, this tale of dark desires and staggering stakes peels back the layers of the heart for all who dare take the journey.

## Sovereign

Nine years after Rom Sebastian was thrust into the most unlikely of circumstances as hero and bearer of an unimaginable secret, the alliance of his followers is in disarray. An epic battle with The Order has left them scattered and deeply divided both in strategy and resolve in their struggle to become truly alive and free.

Only 49 truly alive followers remain loyal to Rom. This meager band must fight for survival as The Order is focused on their total annihilation. Misunderstood and despised, their journey will be one of desperation against a new, more intensely evil Order. As the hand of this evil is raised to strike and destroy them they must rely on their faith in the abiding power of love to overcome all and lead them to sovereignty.
Bee-2 Bombers

The Bee-2 Bombers were a team that competed in the Free Play Killer Queen League (FPKQL). They were one of the four original teams in the league and were known for their chanting of "Bee-2 BOMBERS!" before each match. The team was led by Apiarist Bryan, with Queen Stephen (who won MVP in the first season of the league) and Speed Warrior Will. They had a successful run in the FPKQL, winning the first Honey Pot championship and finishing with the top record in the league during the second season.

### Season-by-Season Results

**Franchise Records according to Challonge.com through Season 5**

However, the Bee-2 Bombers are no longer an active team in the FPKQL. They changed their Apiarist to Rudy and their name to Takin Care of Beez'ness during the fifth season. Despite their retirement, the Bee-2 Bombers will always be remembered as a formidable force in the FPKQL and it is possible that they may make a return to the league in the future.
FPKQL Honey Pot

The FPKQL Honey Pot is a trophy awarded to the champions of the post-season tournament in the Free Play Killer Queen League (FPKQL). It was originally created for Free Bees Wednesday, a tournament series that took place at Free Play Richardson before the existence of the league. The trophy was hand-painted by Allyson from Dallas area beaded jewelry store Beading Dreams and was originally filled with quarters that were added to week after week. Winners would take a handful of quarters from the pot as prize and the rest was donated to charity. The 2020 pandemic forced a stop to the event series and the quarter tradition, and the Honey Pot became the trophy everyone played for in the FPKQL.

In seasons 1-4, the top two teams from the regular season would compete in a World Series-style finale to determine the league champions. Starting in season 5, a new trophy, the Nikita Cup, was added to be awarded to the table champion, and the post-season tournament was expanded to include every team in the league, so all would have an opportunity to play during the Championship date.

### Description

The FPKQL Honey Pot is a ceramic pot painted in the traditional Free Play colors of yellow and black. It stands approximately 12 inches tall and has a circumference of approximately 18 inches.

"And, incidentally, a happy Christmas to all of you at home!" - *Doctor Who: The Feast of Steven* by Terry Nation

Christmas and *Doctor Who* are inextricably linked. From the moment the Daleks first appeared at yule-tide to the regular Annual under the tree, the spooky cosiness of the season has always chimed with the series's own brand of comfortable thrill.

This collection covers every aspect of *Doctor Who* at Christmas, from the Fourth Doctor and Romana wisecracking their way through opening their presents to the Seventh Doctor encountering a dangerous something from Christmas past; from the Sixth Doctor running into another Christmas TV institution to the Eighth Doctor's lonely vigil in a frozen landscape. The Fifth Doctor visits an old companion, the First Doctor lands in a house where Christmas doesn't go as planned, while the Second Doctor finds he has to have a serious chat with Santa Claus. And Bernice Summerfield experiences Christmas on the Braxiatel Collection. Unfortunately.

There are hidden links between many of the stories, which are themselves arranged like a symmetrical snowflake. This being Christmas, alongside the tales, there are instructions for building your own Who adventure game, a monster party game (careful how you play it!), poems both nostalgic and jolly — including one by accomplished poet Jo Fletcher — and four delicious Christmas recipes with a *Doctor Who* makeover, making this a real stocking-filler of a compendium, the ideal gift for followers of the show, young and old.
