HEADLINES: JUNE REFORMS PARTY HELD IN ASPERMONT

ASPERMONT, WESTERLANDS - Aspermont was once again alighted for festival in celebration for June Reforms where members of the UNKNOWN [?] Trading Company, regimentals, Imperial Citizens and Commonwealth guests gathered to pay homage to the events of 2013 that kickstarted the modern clan.

Not everyone was celebrating as others, most notably from the 1st Regiment decided to take up guard duty and establish a picket line around the partygoers for their safety. Also to note in this party was the exclusion of certain kinds of people into a “kids table” while the adults went to do boring stuff until went for the family picture posing

This party was also known for being the most inefficient when it came to cakes with a cake being eaten and cake being used to block certain entrances until eaten, leaving fewer on the banquet table.

The kids later followed the adults into the Aspermont Keep’s traderoom where they were like “Whoaaaaaaaaaah”. Also they started trading there like crazy. Also, NOW THE KIDS WERE INTERESTED IN HISTORY JUST WHEN THEY GOT A TRADE ROOM WHICH THEY’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

Also the scheduling was to accommodate Joe but he couldn’t make it. THE INGRATE POPPYCOCK.

Also June Reform week. Enjoy June Reforms.

EDITORIAL - The Informal Empire endures　　

Irishkaiser - When referring to the clan’s “Empire”, it has always been informal as to who composed it. The only time people’s status was noted to be a part of our culture was the introduction of Imperial Citizens which endures to this day, but it was mostly a list of people NOT to kill and within special areas.

Empire has always composed of those influenced by the UNKNOWN [?] Trading Company and any of her institutions and at times many of them don’t even know each other. It was only recently that certain admins can be considered part of the “empire”, being the latest ETHNIC group accepted into the fold.

This Imperial Family is a reality, not simply a concept or a political design and ambition but one that is very real that affects the Company and vice versa. A loose confederation of associated players and groups united for the common benefit of all involved. As MineZ reaches lower points, some say that the Imperial Family to which we all belong is more important now than ever. Some of us have endeavored to make more use of this Imperial Family to achieve strategic goals, while others, myself included, struggle to preserve the organic and natural relationship over formalized treaties and institutionalization.

There are times when the full weight of this empire must be used but it should never be used for the exclusive benefit of the Company as that would abrogate the four separate communities that have joined together to make our survival possible and the clan endure.

DOMESTIC - MINEZ REPORT POST-DDOS WORLD

A report from players who went around MineZ telling exactly what it’s still like:

1) Population-Wise, the prime times and number of people are basically the same as before. There is no noticeable population increase, as instead of new players, most regulars are actually returning players or alts of people who were banned in MineZ. Few if any are actually new.

2) There has been some reports of random disconnects and periodic lag spikes(though much rarer than before) but this is only with non-American players.

3) Certain locations are not updated or there is misinformation on the wikia. Either the chests were wrong or the writers were wrong, who the fuck cares, really. Some places now require “know-how” rather than being learned online.

DOMESTIC - MINEZ SUBREDDIT IS DEFEATED! REJOICE!

Since the UNKNOWN [?] Trading Company subreddit is the only MineZ subreddit that people actually care about, it has finally crushed the MineZ subreddit. Plans were made to turn that into a pool, but a pool was later made in Aspermont so plans were later scrapped.

The most painful thing to discuss this week was to figure out prime times to do trade runs. I hated talking about it. But at least we have one more week of vacation before finally starting. All good things must come to an end.
