Right, in the absence of a serious attempt at a newspaper for so long, I'll have a bash at something that endeavours to adhere to the best journalistic standards of the UK tabloid press, i.e. I'll make up anything I feel like, and all complaints should be directed to the Lapithos Press Complaints Commission, i.e. me, who will ignore them.

Decline and Fall. The BDL story.
War and Peace. What's happening, and what's not.
Decline and Fall
So they're gone. They dominated the points tables just as they dominated the core for so long, but in the end, the pressures told. Internal division led to splits and huge inactivity, dreadful decisions on strategy and tactics made it much simpler for enemies, and those enemies made hay. Final scores don't tell the full story, as there were many unattached players at the end who were also swept up, but for the record, here are the final scores against their major enemies:
Requiem 23 BDL 2
Wargasm 112 BDL 47
Knights 147 BDL 31
Honour 15 BDL 45
Freedom 47 BDL 1
Lost Souls 145 BDL 8
War and Peace
Currently, there are several wars going on between various groups of alliances:
SPQR v Lost Souls and Requiem
A long-running war to the south of the core, this shows no signs of ending.
Latest scores:
SPQR 5 Requiem 53
SPQR 8 Lost Souls 55
Considering how long this war has been running, the numbers aren't all that high; these sides are fairly well matched, and this war is likely to run all the way to WWs.
Wargasm v Knights and Freedom
A new war to fill a BDL-shaped gap.
Scores on the doors:
Wargasm 2 Freedom 17
Wargasm 0 Knights 14
Interesting to see how this one develops...
UHKL and UKHL v Freedom and Knights
Rather odd wars here, pretty unnecessary and very one-sided:
UKHL 1 Freedom 9
UHKL 1 Freedom 39
UHKL 0 Knights 17
Remember that Honour - UHKL - chose the Freedom war, and provoked the Knights one. UKHL - Union of Kalmar - are looking stronger, and indeed in their war with Wargasm have recorded a score of 13-1 in their favour.
That's it for now, more soon... as soon as I've made it up.
