HEADLINES: REGULAR MINEZ POPULATION AT AN ALL TIME LOW RATIO.

ASPERMONT, WESTERLANDS - Company scouts and sources indicate that the regular population in MineZ is at an all time low, as the ratio of players online at prime times are matching 50:50 and more and more times see premiums become the majority, even late at night/early morning US EST.

This coupled with missing Company Citizens has sparked a demographic crisis where it is predicted that MineZ's white population will be overcome under a sea of coloreds. With more GOLDSIANS, SILVERSPANICS, PLATTERS, EMERABS AND OBORIGINALS moving in the West, it also makes you wonder. These people destroy their homelands, but somehow move to where white people live and destroy that place too... Huh, fancy that.

However, it could just be population decline in general, but this time, the amount of HUWITE regulars are disproportionately losing out. Not sure if this is good or bad as We Will Bury them did say we are supposed to get good people out of this Godforsaken game...

Except for her. She can stay.

EDITORIAL - I am a Regular.　　

Some guy called Laurence - I’m a Regular. I’m from Lazerville, Northeast of Aspermont. My father was called George. He was also from Lazerville. His father, another Lazerville man, was called George too. And his father, my great-grandfather, is from the same place. He was called Edward.

These three generations of my family, were in the tools trade. I’m the first member of my family not to work at the forge in Lazersgate. My great-grandfather had eleven brothers and sisters. I don't know exactly how many of his generation married or exactly how many children they produced. I’ve so far tracked over two-hundred of them.

Many still live in Lazerville. Some are still in the tools trade.

There are seven called George, and five called Victoria. I stand here, in front of you, as a representative of all of them. And I ask in their name the great question put by our patron, Mr.Kaiser. What do they know of Regupe, who only Regupe know? Or, what can my clan, who come from Regupe, who lived in Regupe, who know only Regupe, say of this, our community?

“Mr.Kaiser once spoke of the destruction of ancient Athens and the miraculous survival in the blackened ruins of that city of the sacred olive tree; the symbol of Greece, their country. And he also spoke of us, the Regulars, at the heart of a vanished empire, seeming to find within ourselves that one of our own spruce trees, the sap rising from our ancient roots, and he said perhaps, after all, we who have inhabited this continental fortress for an unbroken number of years, brought up, as he said, within the sound of Regupean bird song under the Regupean spruce, in the Regupean meadow, beneath the green cross of St.Veracity, it is us who know most of Regupe.

And I appreciated him for saying that, because it was as if he spoke for my family, who understand well their own community. Who understand even better their own capital, the Merchant's City, as we used to call her. As we strolled in her parks, as we marveled at her palaces, as we did business in the city, went to the keep for a dance, took a boat on the river. The pale ale and eel pie of old Aspermont. The Aspermont of my family for as many generations as I know. The Aspermont that will in less than fifteen months will be less than fifty percent white. Aspermont, where in fifteen months a white person will be in the minority.

Am I racist? No. Do I have anything against players of other races? No. So what then is my gripe?

My gripe, and I speak on behalf of seven men called George and five women called Victoria, my gripe is quite simple.

My gripe is that we were never asked. My gripe is that we were told, not asked, and everyday we are told again and again how we are to be and how our community is to be. We are told by them, and we know who they are, they’re MineZ players too. They are the class that has always set themselves apart, they are the class that has always taken what they wanted for themselves, and now they are the class that is giving the West away.

They have never asked us, and they never will.

Do we allow them to sell our heritage?

FINANCE - IPO OFFER REFUSED BY CLAN BANK

An IPO offer was refused by the Clan Bank after its analysts regarded too much conflicting information, this is compounded by the fact that it is a telecommunications company where it is a hot political topic in the Philippines with many different groups and interests lobbying for or against.

Without any solid information to accept the offer, the Bank of the Unknown [?] Clan rejected the IPO offer. Also because one of us thought that the initial price point is too high set at 16.

Goddamn political jockeying.

**ORDERS:**

1) TRADE MISSION NEXT WEEK
