HEADLINES: COMPANY OWES FERCHO FOR BETTING ON #FRA. FERCHO DONATES WINNINGS TO CHARITY.
ASPERMONT, WESTERLANDS- 4-2 to France on June 15th 2018 sealed the World Cup’s ownership to the Tricolour, with much celebration on the UPPER CLASS OF THE UNKNOWN [?] TRADING COMPANY WHO WAGERED FOR A FRENCH VICTORY. LA VICTOIRE EST A NOUS. The match between the finalists was watched both in the Imperial Assembly and on Buffalo-Wings street with fanfare and commentary by viewers while those who wagered on the finalists were grim and quiet, not even commenting on Mario Mandžukić of Croatia’s own goal mishap at minute 18 up till even Kylian Mbappé’s goal for France at minute 65 that put France 2 points ahead of Croatia.
The French victory vindicated Company Member Fercho’s wager of a whooping
30 Gunpowder
50 Glowstone
15 Diamond Swords
10 Infinity Bows
2 Smite IV Books
He certainly placed his money where his mouth was. While the second largest wager was merely 20 Diamond Swords placed on Finalist Croatia. Upon victory, Company Member Fercho told his fellow gentlemen that it would be unnecessary to pay him even when offered incorporating Fort Saward as a Company Territory. Company Member Fercho donated all his earnings to charity, as he had not bet to win, but merely to keep his word like a true gentleman.
The Fercho Foundation has been set up as a gift and charity fund to be given to random schmucks in MineZ. Oi veeeey.

EDITORIAL - Memes are NOT ART. They’re closer to genes.
Irishkaiser - The concept of memes has become an important part of pop culture however many degenerate it to just “funny pics on the internet”, while others have somewhat started calling them “art”. Now I will copy paste here for I do not wish to recreate my points and arguments step by step again.
Art = skill
Does it take skill to make memes
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/art
Copy pasting is no skill. You consider memes art? Then the modern youth certainly are in far more dire straits than I originally anticipated. It’s a self-replicating idea between people in a group.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme
BUT YOU FUCKING YOUNGSTERS THINK IT’S SHITPOSTING. If every meme was art, they’d all be different and require degrees of skill to manufacture everytime they’re brought up.It is the self-replicating idea that can be transmitted from person to person within a grouping(edited). Think of memes like genes rather than as art, which requires skill Genes are information carriers, that have a medium to pass on via replication, reproduction, etc. etc.
Now consider the meme(notice it sounds close to gene), as a carrier of an idea or information that spreads. Except, instead of biological needs, memes are ideas. For example, Eating is not an idea, it’s a biological necessity that came as a result of complicated mutation of photosynthesis. To simplify
Genes = biological Memes = idea.
That is why people don’t consider a lot of modern art as art. Because it takes absolutely no refinement or skill, The Art of War is in the name. State of the Art, to explain the highest degree of refinement and advancement. The art of [skill] or whatever. A work of art Even programming skill that is really good, compliments can be like “This code is a work of art”.
Skill without creativity is just a copy, highly skilled in say Engineering, but using other people’s works and just the general plain bland solutions to get there is just a highly skilled engineer.
But using someone’s knowledge of engineering to create a solution that isn’t as obvious but has a better effect, now that’s when an engineer can call his piece a “work of art”
Say automatic firearms for example, in the world of firearms, they come in many different shapes and sizes or even mechanisms. The AK47 was considered state of the art at the time because it took all the lessons to cheaply produce a good, compact automatic rifle(edited), when everyone else at the timerelied on semi-automatic rifles and the ones that competed against it at the time were more expensive to make or only performed as “expected”.
Here’s an example of a meme acting like a gene.
https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/937/186/b4e.png
From some shitty comic, to a 4chan reaction image, that modified as events came and go to fit shit. Yep, evolution of Pepe. That’s a prime example of a meme. Notice how it functions like genes with mutations and the good mutations get passed on by others while the others are left to die out cause it’s shitposting.
Another example of a meme acting like a gene of a species that diversified is Spurdo, who is a descendant of pedobear.
MEMES ARE LIKE GENES. NOT ART. IT’S IN THE NAME, YOU CUNTS.

DOMESTIC - KAISER ARSENAL REDUCES EXPORT MODEL DUE TO TRANSPORT ISSUES
Kaiser Arsenal Export Battle Inventory Models of 12 Splash IIs and 4 Golden Apples has been reduced to 9 Splash IIs and 1 Golden Apple or 2 Drink IIIs, citing inventory space, production time and to appeal to the domestic service industry because Company Members and or Regimentals get 6 Splash IIs and 1 Golden Apple as a ration on mass gear ups, which looks like that foreigners are getting preferential treatment with a complete battle inventory.
The Export model costs of course has went down to 1 gunpowder or 1 diamond sword or 2 infinity bows or like buttons and hoes and shit to maintain demand, which means per value, you get more now for 1 gunpowder.
