• HEADLINES: I.K. SENDS TOTANFORCE TO COMBAT REBELS

    ASPERMONT, WL - Company HQ turned its attention to combat the Byzantine rebels, led by Olefric Byzantine and their disturbing of Company East Colonial territories after completing its long overdue trade run last week. The court directory has chosen distinguished Totanforce agent “nehmna” to rally the remnants of the now-disgraced Legenddood’s forces, break the rebellion and restore order to Eastern Company assets.

    ^“What ^the ^rebels ^like ^to ^forget ^is ^that ^the ^Company ^keeps ^the ^bandits ^out ^of ^Cole…” ^-nehmna

    Calls to deal with the rebellion by a platform of dialogue and change of leadership in the Oriental group spearheaded by Irishkaiser went ignored as Company HQ decided that “this is more fun”. Irishkaiser accused of being sympathetic to the rebel cause was nearly detained as he erratically defied the court of director’s decision like a child but was let go using the alibi of being “under the influence” for the 26th time.


    • EDITORIAL

    Irishkaiser’s “Von Kriege”- Obviously Legenddood was being an idiot killing everyone during the Lopnort Incident and that Olefric Byzantine had every right to rebel over someone showing gross incompetence of command. But we should all remember the fact that this is a much cooler way to deal with things.

    Totan’s “War on Drugs” - Don’t do drugs, kids.


    • TRADE RUNS LARGELY SUCCESSFUL OPERATION. 4 COMMENDED, 3 DEMERITED

    The first successful trade run after 2 weeks of delay was conducted on the 24th of the month. The caravan containing an inventory of 4 Chain Armor Sets, 3 Infinity Bows, 2 full iron swords and 2 enchanted swords delivered goods to the Southern towns of Grimdale, Portsmouth, Camp Bell and Romero achieving an income profit of about 22 potions 16 of which were Potion IIs, 2 cobwebs, 1 hoe and 1 player head.

    The caravan started at Grimdale with an initial strength of 5 players(1 mercenary included), eventually joined with reinforcements of 2 men from the Eastern Expeditionaries at Camp Bell and proceeded to halt at Romero.

    Though problems were minimal, there was a reported death of one person but it was attributed to something designated as “the stupid”. Members Technoskull and nehmna’s old tensions nearly resulted in mass dissidence, member codepsilon’s “suggestions” did not help.

    Only interference and the invoking of the SACRED NAME of the 222nd with veteran israphel223 did the caravan maintain adequate cohesion.

    The reinforcements from the East provided sufficient security of the caravan in the wake of the three aforementioned going AWOL and raising tensions when the caravan arrived in the Romero proper. A safe breakup of the group was conducted and everyone left the Southern areas intact with most of their equipment relatively undamaged.

    Irishkaiser suggested commendations for users: Failedkey, RealityTheory, fartabstract for maintaining proper discipline and conduct during the operation. A Mercenary’s mention to TimeTraveler104 for providing excellent assistance.

    Disciplinary recommendations are implied upon users: Technoskull for provoking nehmna, nehmna for failure to maintain discipline in the face of the former’s provocation and codepsilon for mutinous speech. All three are noted for hopping servers banditing when they were at Romero during the operation.


    • DOMESTIC COMPANY’S TRADE CARAVANS TO PHASE OUT P1P1 BOWS FOR INF
