Second task and the arena

Long time reader, first time poster, because OH MY GOD is anybody else reading this as it's happening?

(I should stop reading now and go to bed since it's past 1 AM where I am, but I simply cannot. Refresh, refresh, refresh.)

I expected the task to be the main event tonight, but am shocked by what's happening in the arena.
I hope no more die. Although judging by the fact that Voldemort cruciated Selwyn, Lucius and Crouch, I don't think there is going to be any happy ending from tonight.

I agree. By rights (well, by canon-parallel) the second Task should have been yesterday's big thing and an important mid-point in the tournament/year, but wow.

The Frost Faire went from being a background thing, an echo of plot themes, to looking a lot like a major turning point for the game.
