Birth and Death
The galaxy is constantly changing. Stars die in cataclysmic destruction while somewhere else, a star is born, burning with a new intense fire. It is just this way in the Metaverse.
The empires in the Metaverse are constantly changing. Some, like the Gone Golders, go Supernova. They grow to immense size and then just seemingly cease to exist. Some, like the ill-fated Freedom Force, burst to life, only to extinguish in an instant. And some grow and flourish, like the Fellowship of the Ring or G.R.O.S.S.
And so it is that some empires come and some empires go. The Metaverse saw the demise of one power as the active remnants of Illuminati decided to break off from the elusive Emperor Treylis. Some of these former Illuminati decided to form the PanGaea Cooperative empire, which appeared in a flourish.
There is also talk of a great union. One which citizens of all empires have come together to witness. The wily emperor of ANZAC and the freedom loving never-never from the Australian Republic, have been in merger talks and it appears the deal is almost complete. While it hasn't offically been announced, this reporter has learned that there will be a new empire born of this union. The name of this more powerful empire will be The ANZAC Republic. This new stronger empire could give what BlueSteel needs to finally defeat the European Alliance, which is currently at war with the ANZACs. There was no comment from the silent European side.
In other news, many overlords celebrated as the Stardock deities instituted some new ranks. The new promotions were given a little at a time, and are possibly still being given at this time. So far, there seem to be 6 new Vice Admirals and 11 new Rear Admirals! A hearty congratulations goes out to all our newest admiralty!
Editor's Note: It has come to the attention of the editorial staff that our current publisher, Angelfire, has a bandwidth limitation. This came to light as a special announcement was made and availability of The Metaverse Review was limited. We began an immediate investigation and have found out a leading cause to this problem. The graphics, which brought some glitz and glamour to our reports, will no longer be used, to save our bandwidth. It was felt the information provided by the Review was more important than some pictures, so until further notice, there will be no more pictures. We apologize for this inconvenience and hope that in the future we can provide graphics again. Thank you for your readership and support.
Though the Euro's emperor has not been seen of late, the military governors have been busy strengthening defenses and gathering resources, as the ANZAC threat looms ever larger. Diplomatic ties have been broken and all diplomats have been warned to leave their respective embassies as soon as possible.
This was followed by a reply from none other than the ANZAC emperor, BlueSteel, who said "Tis no fun if your opposition is asleep...you can't see the whites of their eyes..I'm glad the Europeans are waking up..And the ANZACS will have a fight on their hands. No one can say that I fight unfairly."
But now that the holiday is over, the business of galactic domination once again filters into our lives. Many of our overlords have been away from the game for a while, but now that school has resumed (or will soon), vacations are ending, and a regular schedule begins again around the world, this reporter expects Galactic Civilization activity to increase over the coming few weeks. Welcome back, and happy gaming!
The Fellowship of the Ring surpassed the 1.5 million point mark over the weekend, aided by the addition of two new members and the valiant fight of Ray the Wanderer, who is striving for the two hundred thousand point mark! At the time of press, Ray has 192k+ points and should surpass 200,000 points within the next 24 to 48 hours! Preparations for a massive celebration are being made all through Middle Earth, and reports are that many cases of ale and wine are being delivered at this moment!
