12:02 AM to 3:37 AM EDT. The line is the front smoothed over each five minutes and its neighbours; the faint dots are each five minutes on its own. The dashed line is halfway. Shaded: the front at a side's enemy's doorstep.

Where the fighting was every five minutes: halfway between where each side died in the biggest fight. On the map, the bar across the road is the front at the last count; the faded bars are where it stood 10, 20 and 30 minutes before. How it's placed

Report from the front

Horde win the Southshore Doorstep Stranglehold, ending 73% of the way to Southshore

Ron Burgundoom, and I come to you tonight in a borrowed overcoat, with a stopwatch I have never learned to read. The Horde won the Southshore Doorstep Stranglehold in Hillsbrad Foothills on Friday, October 16, and the verdict is decisive. The front ended 73% of the way to Southshore. The Horde took 325 deaths and the Alliance 179.

The fight began at 11:22 PM EDT and ran 263 minutes, closing at 3:44 AM EDT. The Horde pushed the front from 28% to 73%, and it did so while taking the heavier losses. Krombopulus Mlchael of <Blazed Goats> led the Horde with 8 kills and dealt 15005 damage. He also healed for 674, the most of any Horde player. Cheekbones Mcskeleface of Just Chillin took 5, and Formaldehyde Smoker of <The Crimson Crusade> took 4.

The Alliance had the numbers on the scoreboard, and I report them with a straight spine. Lapdcop Johncop of <RUIN> took 49 kills. Frozen Karen of <RUIN> took 39 and dealt 79649 damage, the top figure of the battle. Gidhon Wins, also of <RUIN>, took 25. Around 3:11 AM EDT, Frozen Karen stood at 39 kills without dying. <RUIN> led all guilds with 122 kills, and <EMPIRE> added 22.

Kiperlily Songflower healed the Alliance for 24864, the top healing of the night. My flute, which has no opinion on healing, remained silent throughout.

Stay classy, Azeroth.

504 dead in 263 minutes. The Horde lost 325, the Alliance 179.

Front: 73% of the way to Southshore
