This is WorldNews with Jerome Hawkins broadcasting from RadioWorld FM 303 with todays news.
Today the NS server has once again broken down. Right now the issue is being discussed at the NS states own forum. We hope of course of a speedy retrival to the times before the server crash. The last time the server went down it was down for nearly 2 days. During that time Francos Spain, the current delegate at that time got deleted. If you want to go deeper in that happening you can always read about it here. It would be a boon if something similar could happen this time to cheer us all up
We have recived a sort of statement with a qualified quess regarding the crash from Cogitation
It is my best estimate that the game crashed at approximately 1 PM EST, based upon the times of events in the most active regions (the feeders and The Rejected Realms). Not a useful bit of information by itself, but I thought that you might appreciate it.

To other news. During the last 2 to 3 days there has been an intense battle in the region of ten zeroes or 0000000000. We have unfortunatly not been able to get hold on several key people in this war. But we have gotten hold on Crazy Girl, the leader of the defense force.
Jerome Hawkins: Crazy Girl, several people point at you as the leader of the ten zeroes defence. Could you please enlighten me and our listeners as what happened in the region several days ago?
Crazy Girl: well, what happened... Moonsun (Ingsoc from air strip one) wanted to invade ten zero's. My friend Icelands found out and we went there to warn the natives.
Jerome Hawkins: What happened next?
Crazy Girl: Some friends joined us, and then some of Ingsoc friends joined him. But not enough of his friends joined him, and now it's one big crazy situation
Anyway, i know Ingsoc/Moonsun from my days on the road. I joined his region Air Strip One, I knew what his UN nation is, and he wasn't too happy with my betrayal..
Jerome Hawkins: Which one is the nation that is the aggressors choice for delegate?
Crazy Girl: Sporklovers is the invading "delegate" but Moonsun is the leader of the invaders..
Jerome Hawkins: I understand this is a stressful situation. The NS being down, the responsibilities of leadership. But what can you say about the defenders?
Crazy Girl: Well, i called some friends, who called some friends... and you know how it goes..
Jerome Hawkins: Yes. It tend to amount to some sort of hysteria. Soon after the region is loaded with nations. I have seen some nations that claim to be known as "Elite Ghosts". I don't know wich region they come from.
Crazy Girl: As for the elite ghosts, they are helping us so far... but some of my friends warned me about them, said that they are actually invaders, but so far, they have been supporting us.. pretty weird situation, no?
Jerome Hawkins: I should say so.
Crazy Girl: Anyway, and somehow, in this big mess, i just couldn't keep my big mouth shut, and now i had to make some decisions...
I hate it when that happens, luckily my friends gave me some advice
Jerome Hawkins: The responsibilities of a leader..
Crazy Girl: Mmmm, well, i'm not sure if this would be a good statement, better talk to my friends about it, maybe, but at least you have now an idea bout what's going on there.
Feel free to visit if you want
Jerome Hawkins: Mayby I will.
As you can see this story about ten zeroes contains much. Who are the Elite Ghosts? And of course, we are still missing talks with leaders from the Air Strip One and what they have to say. In all this mess we have noticed that people from the alliance ALL is involved plus an great score of defenders that usually pop up on occassions like these. Hopefully we will get an
continuing story on the Ten zeroes region.
Furthermore in the news of WorldNews we have something about the region Monte Carlo. An source who wants to remain anonumus told us that ejections has happened in the region. Sadly the source couldn't specifiy the number of ejections nor who did the ejections. The former delegate Balin left Monte Carlo days ago in a state of feeling that he couldn't perform the duties of delegacy. During this time the region has been unprotected because the region is also founderless. We really don't know what has happened because we cannot find any traces on the region messageboards nor the regional happenings. The only thing we know is what our source told us, who only knows that ejections has taken place, a few, and that it was crashers that was ejected. According to the source no-one of the natives was ejected. Who, or rather, who and how many nations that was involved in this mysterious operation and how many was ejected is still a mystery. Mayby we can come back with more on this issue later on as the days roll by.
Lastly in this dreary time of breakdowns we have another war in the region of 2Paradise. It is the defender Free Radicals of Mu-Mu
who has volontered to give us an statement regarding 2Paradise.
Mu-Mu: The New World Empire attempted an invasion of 2Paradise last night. I had been monitoring the region for around a week, since Angelum and High heeled boots had moved there - both associates of the NWE - and had warned the delegate to expect trouble, but they did not take my warning seriously. Yesterday Kharnak moved in accompanied by the nations Blue men, Roaming Beasts and other NWE regulars. By the evening they had six endorsements to the delegate's 3. I moved there and invited comrades from the WTYS Brigade and Urbanites region to join me, forming a decisive defensive shield for the region. NWE have expressed annoyance at our actions today - both "Ultramur -" and "Eshek" have complained that by defending weak regions we somehow "spoil the game" for them. I think they're missing something about what the game's about...
Jerome Hawkins: Thank you. That was really informative Mu-Mu. A question only, what is th WTYS Brigade?
Mu-Mu: The WTYS Brigade is the group of region defenders who took the lead in this defensive action, put together specifically for the defence of 2Paradise: there is nothing much more than that to say. The meaning of WTYS is not for public consumption (hey - everyone needs a little mystery in their lives, no?).
Jerome Hawkins: Thank you, Mu-Mu
This was all for today. I want to remind you all one last thing. No-one of the stories has gotten a second glance and can contain errors. We are very sorry if anyone would get upset for the loss of facts and soforth and furthermore we want to especially say that during this breakdown it has almost been impossible to verify sources and getting the other sides point of view.
