I had received a message through PM saying "You're just making newspapers just to boast your alliance's popularity." This statement is not true as I try to make newspapers as unbiased as I could. Enjoy the newspaper!

Briefing
It has been roughly 3 weeks since the world started. There a few points I would like to make. Bambi went down in the rankings and the good alliances began to show their true selves. Redneck Avengers currently holds the lead but is tailed by Panic Attack. ROMAN REPUBLIC is also not far behind. Some other alliances that are heading upwards in the rankings include Impervious B*stards, Repossession Agents, and Fully Equipped Elite are also steadily going up in the rankings. Lastly, Reckless Disorder has merged with Panic Attack/Sleeping Beauty/Jungle.
Interviews
EnyoIII, Panic Attack
How do you like the world so far?
Do you believe that your alliance will reach world wonders?
Panic Attack has already reached the limit. Does your leadership plan to make a sister alliance, or did they close recruitment?
Have you declared war with any alliances yet?
What is the current score?
Rumours have said that Panic Attacks is leading a coalition against. RedNeck Avengers. Is that true?
Have you heard anything about wars that other alliances are having?
To end the interview, what are your thoughts on gold trading and instant buy?
EnyoIII said:Besides the fact that I have to level every farm by myself regardless of messages being sent out, Im enjoying it. I seem to be stuck in a place of very little communication and even less coordination. Its a little slow for my preference, but its plugging along. I think there will be some changes in the not to distant future.
Do you believe that your alliance will reach world wonders?
EnyoIII said:So much for the easy questions, right to the daggers.
I would have to say its a bit early to determine that, but at the current participation rate, you can make your own assumptions.
Panic Attack has already reached the limit. Does your leadership plan to make a sister alliance, or did they close recruitment?
EnyoIII said:No plans on a sister alliance, that I'm aware of. The few here that make the decisions, don't really make anything public for any of us, so I cant answer that. The little information I glean is from the externals.
More players are added as others go inactive, or leave, seems to be a constant "churn", for lack of a better term.
Have you declared war with any alliances yet?
EnyoIII said:Alliance:
The war of the week is with RedNeck Avengers. Other wars that were declared just kind of sit there in a tab. A nass mail arrives with the latest directive, and bam...
Me personally:
No, I have not declared war on any alliances. Lol, but when I do....
What is the current score?
EnyoIII said:Looks like RedNeck Avengers snatched an inactive and they are leading by one.
The old inactive trick. That ol gag.
Rumours have said that Panic Attacks is leading a coalition against. RedNeck Avengers. Is that true?
EnyoIII said:I am really not at liberty to answer that, not only is that not my department, but the tabs change so much, I cant keep up with all the coalition stuff. I do like wearing red panties though.
Have you heard anything about wars that other alliances are having?
EnyoIII said:No, not really. If it isnt launched at me, who cares.
To end the interview, what are your thoughts on gold trading and instant buy?
EnyoIII said:I personally cant see spending 10 gold on 500 res ,that I can farm in less time, than delivery, but that's just me. As far as instant buy, It should Not be implemented. I understand the business end of the decision, but from player perspective it sux.
Overall, its pretty ridiculous to spend real money on code, but some players need it to be competitive. It takes work to do anything in this game, regardless of what is implemented. You still have to deal with the reality of time based. Im hungry for some Cecil.
Its almost like instant buy, is Innos way of reducing the loss that stemmed from the unintended consequence which came from players trading res for gold. Less people buying it maybe, and more people trading for it.
Minatomus, Repossession Agents
The world has been open for a few days now. What are your thoughts on it?
Has your alliance declared war on anybody yet?
Do you see your alliance reach world wonders?
Redneck Avengers and Repossession Agents have the same initials. Are they sister alliances or something?
What alliances in your ocean do you think are going to be an obstacle?
Have you heard of other wars from other alliances?
Repo Agents is filling up pretty fast. Is leadership going to create an academy or is the decision undecided?
Final question:
What are your thoughts on gold trading and instabuy?
Minatomus said:Well, I expected it to be a bit more challenging. It seems that this world is a bit slow, and lowly populated. However it is still too soon as this world is still shaping up, and more importantly more people are joining, other than that it should be fun!
Has your alliance declared war on anybody yet?
Minatomus said:Soon
Do you see your alliance reach world wonders?
Minatomus said:I'm not sure. Many players here have already won Pandosia, perhaps they may aim for another one? It's too early to look at WWs. At this point it would be more strategic to dominate our core than focus on long term plans.
Redneck Avengers and Repossession Agents have the same initials. Are they sister alliances or something?
Minatomus said:No. We're not sister alliances, even though our initials are the same haha.
What alliances in your ocean do you think are going to be an obstacle?
Minatomus said:I'm not sure to be honest.
Have you heard of other wars from other alliances?
Minatomus said:Yes, war between the rednecks against Panic Attack... I'm sure Panic attack is having panic attacks everyday
Also Impervious bastards against Bambi, but I wouldn't call that a war, I'd say they were just farming them lol.
Repo Agents is filling up pretty fast. Is leadership going to create an academy or is the decision undecided?
Minatomus said:Chances are no.
Final question:
What are your thoughts on gold trading and instabuy?
Minatomus said:I honestly hate instabuy, I liked the old days of half construction times. Instabuy is more expensive and gives gold users incredible advantages, especially if the one who's using the gold is experienced.
I like the idea of trading resources for gold, players who can't afford using premium can farm a lot and trade their extra resources for gold while gold users can purchase them, of course the gold users get a higher advantage as they can buy a whole lot more resources, but nonetheless it can be good for both.

Tips on how to be a good newspaper writer
- Set up deadlines~Always force yourself to finish your newspaper on time(Whatever that may be.) Failure to due that will make people feel unhappy.
- Show little to no bias~Bias is when you favor one thing over another. Newspapers should show little to no bias. If you do, then it turns into a propaganda article, and none of us wants that
- Put effort into it~Don't just directly copy and paste the whole interview into the newspaper. An example of that would be EN Tau Times.
- Add some color to it~Put some pictures in it or add a fancy title to it to make it more appealing to the public.
