[scenarios] Guild Tournament Final Airs Tonight

Amsterdam - Tonight, SuperTV will air the 5th Guild Tournament Finals. Over the past weeks, ten guilds had their most promising journeymen create their masterpieces live in front of the studio audience. Tonight's craft battle will determine whether the Programmer's Guild or the Bakery Guild will get the precious champion title and the associated million to support their apprentice working.

Guilds have become popular in the last decade, and are largely duplicated from the guilds of the Middle Ages. Only now, they exist for every possible profession. The concept is always the same: a 'master' will take a number of 'apprentices' to learn the skill for a tuition fee. These then become independent professionals who can become masters themselves after successfully presenting their master piece. The overarching Guilds Association points out the rise in skillful labor over the past decade, but opponents to the system worry about the closed, undemocratic nature of the guilds.
