**The News In The Guild**

 

Welcome to the weekend Guildies and what a weekend we're having here at 'The Star'. First things first though, let's find out what you Guildies have been up to today.

 

Today saw the recruitment of 1 new member to the Guild. 'phantom_24' joins Atlantis and takes up 74th place (but for how long?). We all welcome 'phantom_24' and hope he enjoys his time with us. This is great news as we still have a few places to fill after the Polishgate scandal which saw a few members leave.

 

Some technology news now, 'Salton', 'seamonkey', 'Caphalor' and 'bill001968' all advanced into the LMA today. Just as we said yesterday, with this amount of Guildies moving up in Ages we feel it won't be long before we have another Colonial Age tech up. But even if thats still far away you have to admit that it wont be long before there is no one in our Guild who isn't in the LMA. Keep it up science boffs.

 

The Atlantis leaders have been in disscussions with 'The Star' regarding the hiring of a new leader. Nothing has been finalised yet but there will be an advert in the paper very soon. We kindly ask that over the next few days you have a think about this. The possition requires some serious free time so please take this into consideration. But like we said nothing has been finalised yet but rest assured that when the Leaders are ready 'The Star' will be there to let you know about it.

 

**Other News**

 

Over the last few days Atlantis has been talking about this Jack fella and his absurd quests. Well we said that we would find out more about him and thanks to 'Caphalor' (who has been spying undercover) we now have a report ready. This information has come at a price for poor 'Caphalor' as he now can't stop eating pumpkins, however before he ate the office Jack 'O Lantern he managed to give us his report.

 

'Caphalor's Jack Report'

 

Attention people of Atlantis. As mentioned in yesterday’s edition of the Atlantis Star a pumpkin going by the name of Jack O’Lantern has been reported roaming the lands. He will be haunting your empire until the 4th of November trying to confuse you with his riddles.

 

However they are worth trying to figure out because for each one you complete Mr. Lantern will reward you with random gifts. And if you manage to finish them all you will be rewarded with a cultural building called a graveyard which produces a significant amount of happiness.If Mr. Lantern’s riddles have gotten the better of you don’t worry, the solutions will be posted on the guild forum later this evening. Make sure you complete the riddles and collect your rewards before Mr. Lantern disappears into the night on the 4th of November never to be seen again.

 

Thank you 'Caphalor' for this vital information. Hopefully it has shed some light on this Jack, although with all these bad riddles he is using he reminds us of a certain Jester we all know. Hmmm. Don't forget to check out 'Caphalor's thorough report in the Guild Forum under the tab 'Game Disscussion'.

How about a Guild story now:

 

'eigis' and her dog are walking through the forest when they suddenly fall into a pit. They scramble and scramble but can't make their way out. 'eigis' yells, the dog barks, but no one is around to hear their calls for help. Slowly, the night sky turns black and they find themselves engulfed in utter darkness. Off in the distance, the wolves begin howling. Each howl is louder and closer than the last. 'eigis' holds the dog close to her chest and says sadly to the dog, "This is the worst mess in which we have ever found ourselves, my darling Sparky". "Yeah," the dog says, "we're really screwed". "Sparky," says, 'eigis' astonished, "I didn't know you could talk". "Well," the dog says, "I was kinda waiting for the right time to tell you".

 

So that's all for today folks. 'eigis' has a talking dog and mysterious Jack has been exposed thanks to the fine work by 'Caphalor'. Not a bad day of news if we say so ourselves. Please don't forget to place you Football team name in the Guild Forum as the league begins on Monday and you could miss out on a place and remember if you have a funny tale or silly story you would like to see published then send it to any of the Editors and you to could see your work published. Have fun Atlantians....
