| (mm/ug) Direct access to New Spawn brings the danger to be griefed to Midgard Municipality and its Utgard Station. Very shortly after the NEAR line was opened to the public, one such individual visited our town and left his fingerprints. Evidence against the griefer named Darkos has been collected and can be viewed at [[https://imgur.com/a/NKMgW#22]], and his minor offenses have been reported to Moderator Bikky as a precedent as the guilty party has not yet been available for questioning. In case of repetition, the incident will be treated as a theft of private property and, depending on severity, a request for reparation from and/or punishment of the thief will be addressed toward a moderator.\\ | (mm/ug) Direct access to New Spawn brings the danger to be griefed to Midgard Municipality and its Utgard Station.

| (mm) Recently, one of our readers kindly suggested to publish copies of copies of our newspaper, rather than just copies of the original, in order to secure copyrights and profit. After some lengthy debate about this certainly sound point, our editor came to the conclusion that from the time of its very creation, the MARNIE newspaper "has never been about profit." Its sole purpose is to spread information about recent events to as many residents as wish to be informed, which is why its current price will never change.\\ | (mm) Recently, one of our readers kindly suggested to publish copies of copies of our newspaper, rather than just copies of the original, in order to secure copyrights and profit.

| To that end, Editor Jinxauthor_Mel also wishes to give explicit permission for anyone who purchased a copy of MARNIE at the Midgard store, or otherwise came to own one, to copy that book however often they see fit and keep or distribute those copies at any price they deem appropriate to any resident they can find who is willing or unknowing enough to pay that. | To that end, Editor Jinxauthor_Mel also wishes to give explicit permission for anyone who purchased a copy of MARNIE at the Midgard store, or otherwise came to own one, to copy that book however often they see fit and keep or distribute those copies at any price they deem appropriate to any resident they can find who is willing or unknowing enough to pay that. | ||

| High Commissioner Austrobernd of the Mandatory of New Badfacia, lamenting the lack of people to build with, decided to build a statue around New Spawn. As location he chose the empty roof of the entrance to Akarinka's station, and as a motive apparently his longtime superior first came to mind. A sign on the socket designated the statue as 'Shakomatic, Kaiser of Breshik'. (This is actually incorrect in several ways, as Shakomatic is the //King// of Breshik and //used to be// the 'Kaiser of the Commonwealth' until couped out of the position last month, incidentally by HC Austrobernd himself.)\\ | High Commissioner Austrobernd of the Mandatory of New Badfacia, lamenting the lack of people to build with, decided to build a statue around New Spawn.

| As soon as the statue was finished, people came to inspect, investigate, climb, jump and generally have some fun. "I think it suits this shitty spawn well," was all Lord Austrobernd commented about his project, and the first person to object to that opinion was Swamp Paladin Massolit of Novoblagomirsk.\\ | As soon as the statue was finished, people came to inspect, investigate, climb, jump and generally have some fun.

| Since the missile could not finish its job, Duke Tomoko of Aresia decided to help out with some manual action. He placed several explosives on the ruins and ignited them, managing to blow himself up and President Hinoarashi off the statue's left arm, shown on Photo 30. The President survived thanks to formidable armor.\\ | Since the missile could not finish its job, Duke Tomoko of Aresia decided to help out with some manual action.

| What little remained of the great statue's body, Duke Tomoko artfully set ablaze, caught on Photo 31. As if in answer to the statement, the skies released a load of water at that very moment. The shovel proudly survived all attacks; two of the adjacent buildings however were less lucky and got damaged by the nearby explosions, proven on Photo 32.\\ | What little remained of the great statue's body, Duke Tomoko artfully set ablaze, caught on Photo 31.

| - | With their intended target destroyed, President Hinoarashi apparently got bored very quickly and therefore turned his attention toward the bystanders, demanding everyone to "convert to Islam." Those who refused were attacked and killed, as happened to NoyaEleven and Jinxauthor_Mel while the former was asleep (afk) and the latter tried to repair collateral damage. Photo 34 recorded his 'reasoning'.\\ | + | With their intended target destroyed, President Hinoarashi apparently got bored very quickly and therefore turned his attention toward the bystanders, demanding everyone to "convert to Islam."

| Maybe incited by his leader, Speaker BearMonger also took to direct attacks when his attempt to further demolish the ruins were impeded by HC Austrobernd. Unfortunately, he accidentally hit bystander Darynu, which led to a brief altercation. Both parties later discussed the misunderstanding and apologized to each other.\\ | Maybe incited by his leader, Speaker BearMonger also took to direct attacks when his attempt to further demolish the ruins were impeded by HC Austrobernd.

| It was around this time that Battkhort citizens first claimed that the statue signified an annexation attempt of the neutral New Spawn area, something that was never declared nor even implied with signs on the side of its creator, nor asked about on the side of the attackers. The very //assumption// was made their basis for the statue attack, keeping in well with the proverb.\\ | It was around this time that Battkhort citizens first claimed that the statue signified an annexation attempt of the neutral New Spawn area, something that was never declared nor even implied with signs on the side of its creator, nor asked about on the side of the attackers.
