Wang Chung
| NOTE: This Feast is/was the principle holiday of the Wang Kingdom, however, a variant exists within the arena of greater Battal, outside the borders of that fabled, isolationist Kingdom. This version, heavily altered through a haze of nostalgia by persons who have little or no knowledge of the original holiday, is discussed below. Someone who is more familiar with the Wangs and their customs should update this page with that information. |
A peculiar feast observed by Fancy Men on a schedule completely incomprehensible to all other Races, this event is only described, and peripherally at that, in The Archmagi of Eldersbane. The sparseness of detail is generally considered a boon by the majority of the fan community. One thing is known for certain, however, and that is that the purpose of Wang Chung is for everybody to have fun.
The traditional game of the Feast of Wang Chung, also called Wang Chung, is played with brightly colored sheets of paper, each precisely one elementric square in area. The paper is to be torn in a precise and stupifyingly flamboyant fashion, as follows:
- Rip it up
- Move it down
- Rip it up
- Move it down to the ground
- Rip it up
- Cool down
- Rip it up
- Do not hang it on the borderline
The game becomes a test of endurance and manual dexterity in later rounds. When the player cannot rip his paper any further, he must retire from the game. A player may also retire at any point during the game by hanging the remains of his paper on the borderline, making a Wang Hanger. In a fit of meticulous frivolity, this game was described in agonizing detail, taking up the majority of the pages devoted to the Feast.
Some believe that an episode of The Wizbits also briefly showed this Feast, but it is difficult to determine, as the episode did not show the game at all, and the books described almost nothing else. Some fans have dubbed this version of the Feast of Wang Chung as Fun Tonight: The Early Years.
