* OverlyLongGag: The encyclopedia entry about sorceresses, which is ''by far'' the longest entry in the game, and which is nothing but a [[WallOfText long]] ShoutOut to ''GilmoreGirls'' and has nothing to actually do with Sorceresses. [[labelnote:Click for the full entry]]While the fraternities of Wizards and Mages are both dominated by men, the sorcery community has just female members. The reason for this is because Lorelai started dating Rory's English teacher Max. Then Rory kissed Dean but didn't tell Lorelai, who went on a double date with Sookie which made Luke jealous. Rory got into a fight with Dean and kissed Tristan. Rachel yelled at Luke for being in love with Lorelai who decided not to marry Max. Lorelai got jealous of Luke flirting with Ava, even though he really didn't. Dean found out about Rory kissing Tristan who got shipped off to military school. Rory's Dad, Christopher, showed up and told Lorelai that he was dating Sherry. Luke's nephew, Jess, started hitting on Rory, but then crashed her car, so Luke sent him back to his mother. Christopher broke up with Sherry and got together with Lorelai, but then found out that Sherry was pregnant so he went back to her. Jess came back and Rory kissed him at Sookie's wedding and Lorelai had a dream she was married to Luke. Jess sharted dating Shane, but then Dean had enough and broke up with Rory because she was obviously into Jess, who then broke up with Sherry, so he could be with Rory. Lorelai went on a coffee tasting date with alex who took her fishing. Luke asked out Taylor's lawyer, Nicole. Dean got engaged to Lindsay and Jess left town. Luke went on a cruise with Nicole, where they got married, but were already filing for divorce when they returned. Dean married Lindsay. Luke and Nicole decided to postpone the divorce and to try dating again. Jason, aka "Digger" pestered Lorelai to go out with him. Jess came back for his mother's wedding, asked Rory to go away with him, but she turned him down. Luke FINALLY kissed Lorlelai. Rory got together with Dean and put the final nail in his marriage, which upset Lorelai (and a lot of fans). Lorelai learned that Sherry ran off to Paris and left Christopher with the baby. Emily didn't approve of Luke and told Christopher to make his move. Dean leaves Rory and she gets together with Logan. Christopher and Luke had a fight over Lorelai and things got difficult between them but eventually Lorelai proposed to Luke. Jess comes back to talk to Rory and fights with Logan. Luke finds out he has a 12-year-old daughter and postpones the wedding. Logan broke up with Rory but then realized his mistake and tries to get her back and tells her he loves her and they move in together. Jess tries again to get Rory back but to no avail. Logan's father makes him move to London. Lorelai gives Luke an ultimatum about the wedding and after a big fight she winds up with Christopher. The next day Luke tries to apologize and says they should run off to get married, but then Lorelai tells him she spent the night with Christopher, and he leaves. Lorelai and Christopher start dating while Rory is making the best of her long distance relationship with Logan. Lorelai and Christopher got married in Paris but it eventually falls apart. Logan proposes to Rory but she turns him down and Lorelai got back with Luke. So that is why all the Mages and Wizards are men and all the women magic-users are now called Sorceresses.[[/labelnote]]
