Subreality Times
Issue #3
Monday 15th, May, 2000

It. Is. Aliiiiiiive. Muahahahaha. Haha. Ha. Heeee.

Lookee here. You are reading. The 3rd issue. Bravo! And THEY said that TV destroyed our attention spans. What lies! Completely and utterly untrue! Video games did their part...

Anyway since you are sufficiently bored to read this let's get to the heart of the matter... From now on each issue is $5US. The policy is retroactive - pay up.

Hah! Suckers! I'm just kidding. Heh. Jeez, you people are easy. All right, moving on...

The Bullet:
A somewhat eventful week I must say. The Eco-Challenge juggernaut has lost a portion of its steam and settled down to a measured pace. On the neighboring set, The Requiem RR that had started as a lighthearted wrap-up to Fallen RR has stealthy and steadily mutated into something decidedly different. Check it out, besides sacrifices of lambs and angels, smiting people left and right, this RR has also provided a platform of some major changes in THOSD... Speaking of; Dex who (according to unsubstantiated rumors) left the House to wander Subreality has not been heard from. Although rumors abound this publication will not print any unproven gossip!

All right, all right, we have no fesking idea where he is. Any hints or wild and improbable theories are welcome. Come on! I got a paper to run! I need unhealthy sensations!

Oh come oooon! National Enquirer has Roseanne, Matthew McConaughey and Dennis Rodman to work with. And me? Hah?! None of you people has the decency to get caught playing bongos without a stitch of clothing on.

Pheh. Pox on you... Egotists all.

All right. On to the fun stuff. Several days ago it's been a pleasure and privilege of several Writers to witness an epic battle. The fight which put Stalingrad, Gettysburg and Hiroshima to shame. The Fight! When Frito_M came to blows with IRC Subcafe's li'l guardian bot, NudgeNudg. It was... something. For 15 minutes straight, the bot persisted in deopping one of the residents and the each time Frito fearlessly opped the resident back. The tempers run high. The war cries were loud. The popcorn was cheap. Now... some might say that this is not very serious piece of news. So? This is not a serious paper. I liked watching it. This publication is now in talks with SCTV to set up a second, Pay-Per-View, match. Contestants have not been consulted yet.

Current Affairs:
There is some talk among animal rights activists to stage a protest against inhuman treatment of Chocobos by the Eco-Challenged. Oh yeah, Chocobos AND Phil Foster.

Metropolitan news:
For the SCML citizens. Yes. Yes. As I am sure some of you heard a major portion of the South Quarter is in shambles. Well what can we say... Another Angst Monster got away. Whoop-dee-Doo. Several Writers are implicated but Yasmin M is identified as the ringleader. To get more details read her fic, "Shengri Liwu."

Also I'd be derelict in my duties if I failed to mention that two of the most prominent citizens in SCML had a birthday recently. Besides it's too good an opportunity to miss. Let the torture that is public affection be unleashed on Farli and Rossi. Muahahaha! Ha!

Moving on. Somber news. Another two renowned residents announced that they will distance themselves from certain aspects of City life. Seraph stated that she had come to a decision to stop taking action in the open RRs beyond the ones she's currently involved in. She also resigned as the Security Chief of THOSD. Jesse Willey also posted a statement on one of the Message Boards announcing his decision to slowly decelerate his involvement in RRS toward, perhaps, a complete withdrawal.

Other News:
The Casino Royale's lawsuit against Eco-Challenge has been dropped. Neither side consented to comment so feel free to speculate wildly.
Start... NOW!

Business:
The fictives' strike is over, the details of the debate are not known as the negotiations were carried out behind closed doors... They even put dogs there. Dobermans. Do you know how painful it is to get bitten by a Doberman?!

Weather report:
It's still dark and stormy. I told you - two weeks!

Bahbachu... (I know, I know - I just like how it sounds)
