  "summary": "The Battle Record reconstructs Noun Battler's public history from its founding deterministic duel through the eight-gang Nouns Nation league, surrounding broadcast desks, Pacific 48 card edition, and an unsaved interactive projection lab.",
  "body": [
    "PointCast has published The Battle Record as the first Noun Battler Annual: a long-form, interactive sports magazine documenting how a compact deterministic browser duel accumulated the institutions of a much larger game. The issue begins with Strike, Guard, and Focus, then follows the project into eight gangs, fourteen league days, four matches per day, sixty moving Nouns in a standard match, a four-team playoff, and the Nouns Bowl.",
    "The annual reconstructs eight milestones from checked-in design notes, product requirements, route manifests, and repository history. It covers the dedicated CH.BTL channel, the 30-v-30 Nouns Nation format, eight weather and terrain fields, Battle Desk broadcasts, scouting and production rooms, phone and television casts, agent desks, a Moon tournament, and the later Pacific 48 five-round card edition.",
    "Three original generator-made newspaper-sports plates give the issue a tactile visual spine: The First Box Score, Thirty Against Thirty, and The League Remembers. An interactive press-box lab lets a reader select two gangs and one field, then produces a deterministic quarter-by-quarter editorial projection and printable box score. The projection is not written into the browser-local league table and is not presented as an official result.",
    "The issue is free and requires no signup, wallet, purchase, token, or mint. It contains no odds, wagering, or betting product. PointCast is supporting opening week with a homepage feature, three copy-ready sports-desk dispatches, a Press Wire filing, and a disclosed first-party house campaign selected by page context. Aggregate impressions and clicks are public; no visitor profile is created."
