Yes this thread is back in all of its gory glory. This thread is ment for a few things: First is to Spread news about important events and react to them. For example news of the GA Supreame Commander Dying in battle would be posted here as could any reactions from the GAs leadership. Sort of an outlet for PR. These serious posts will be have a ** at the very begining. This way we know this is something serious and could effect many other factions. (Yes things here can affect either your factions or the opposing factions dissent level) Second is to have fun at the expense of others. The old Sludge News area was full of people making fun of others (always in good taste) and generally making BS posts for fun. These posts require no special tag at the beginning of them. Just type and enjoy (but again keep everything in good taste please)
