**The News In The Guild**

 

Today saw the joining of 3 new members to Atlantis. We would like to welcome 'props', 'gremla7' and 'julo' into our guild and hope they enjoy their time with us. We need all the help we can get if we are to become No. 1 in the Global ranks.

 

It would seem that all the Guild scientists have had a day off today as there have been no new technological breakthroughs in Age Advancements. Lets hope they get back to work soon.

 

A BIG BIG Congratulations must go out to 'Donalddo' for becoming our new Guild leader with over 58,000 points. When we asked him how he managed it he replied "well it wasn't that difficult, all I had to do was beat a Little Bee, a very diligent little bee". It looks as if The Real Viking has no equal when it come to winning.

 

**Other News**

 

A strange thing was reported to the Star today, 'chemaster' who is one of our more advanced players reported that he was driving his new fangled steam tractor/car along one of the country lanes in Atlantis when he broke down outside a field gate.

 

On lifting the bonnet he was confused at all the machinery, suddenly a voice piped up "Try the fan belt". On looking around he saw no-one there with the exception of a black horse with it's head over the field gate chewing grass.Bewildered he checked the fan belt but it was Ok.

 

Scratching his head for what to do next the same voice said, "Check the battery". Again no-one was there except the black horse.It wasnt the battery and 'chemaster' kicked the tractor/car in frustration. "That won't help, check the starter motor" said the voice. Again no-one was about just the old black horse.

 

'chemaster' checked the starter motor which had a loose connection and the tractor/car started.

He has reported this to the guild leaders and 'Turbovcielka' told him he was a lucky man. "Why was I lucky" he asked. "Because if it was the white horse that was in the field he knows nothing about mechanics"

 

NEW: **World NEWS**

 

This, our newest section of the paper, is where we tell you about upcoming events in the world of Forge of Empires. The first rumours about a distant new world were revealed today by our budding explorer 'seamonkey'. (A monkey at sea...hmmm). He has been telling our reporters here at the Star about a new continent he stumbled across whilst out exploring. He mentions that this land has new technology far in advance of our own and new Goods to be exploited and traded.

 

He also stated that he saw new buildings and decorations, some of which are massive in structure and design, and had met new people one of which was a KING. 'seamonkey will be visiting this land again over the weekend and told us he would forge a route there by Monday 8th October 2012. We are graitfull for his diligent exploring and wish him a good trip.
