Breaking News: 6 out of 7 captives released! Within less than 24 hours, with the support of relatives and co-workers, 6 out of 7 of the captive journalists have been released, after meeting Arrgh's demands. Following the release of the captives, peace has also been agreed between Arrgh and Serene Repubblica Fiorentina and The Almighty Corporation (exclusive photo below). From left to right, the released journalists: ChrisNorcras (won the beard competition held between captives and pirates on-board the tuna boat), David Jones (looking almighty), Emrys the Great (looking better, but still not great), Alfred Chambers (looks like he still has symptoms of sea-sickness), Labaw Datubago (still looking like a pirate), and Ford (out of frame again, for unknown reasons). Regarding the 7th captive, after a failed attempt by Borgs Assisted Loot Liberation Service to rescue him, the situation has become complicated. From left to right: Admiral Zim (on top of the ransom), Borg (a few moments before being captured, after his failed attempt to hijack one of Arrgh's ships by using a water-gun), and Euron Greyjoy (left alone in the brig... he has completely lost it). On an unrelated note, the mass-raid against USSR is still going strong. Stay tuned for more news!7 points

Part 1: Piracy against Journalism [this post] Part 2: 6 out of 7 captives released [link] Part 3: Last captives released [link] ------------------------------------------------ Piracy against Journalism According to a highly trusted source, 1 in 4 journalists rarely or never seek out peer-reviewed research to learn about beat topics. Had this not been the case, journalists would know about facts like this… ... and wouldn’t announce things like this: It has come to Arrgh’s attention that “YET another completely biased news server run by a bad micro” as they identify themselves, “The Observer”, took it upon themselves to share with Orbis sensitive (and partially inaccurate) information about pirate activities. Alas. To err is human. To arr is pirate. As of this date change, Arrgh has kidnapped the core staff members of this news server. The journalists are currently held captive at a 50-metres long tuna boat somewhere off the shores of southeastern Somalia (exclusive photo provided below). From left to right, Sam Cooper (Arrgh’s Grand Admiral) and the captives: Emrys the Great (doesn’t look that great), Alfred Chambers (looks like he has the early symptoms of sea-sickness), David Jones (initially confused with Davy Jones), ChrisNorcras (initially confused with Barbarossa [Redbeard]), Euron Greyjoy (looking like he has lost it already), Labaw Datubago (initially thought to be a member of our crew), and Ford (out of frame, getting rid of his breakfast). Regarding Arrgh’s demands: For the captives to be released, the captives, their co-workers, their relatives, or their alliances shall provide $2B in cash and the name of their “highly trusted source” that shared with them the aforementioned leak. Should the demand not be accepted, the journalists will be keelhauled. Anyone who defends the captives, will be considered part of their group and Arrgh will have to assume their ill intentions towards us. The alliances of the captives, Serene Repubblica Fiorentina, The Almighty Corporation, Borgs Assisted Loot Liberation Service, or any other alliances, shall not attempt to release the captives. Should any kind of escalation or mobilization be identified (militarization, ghosts joining the alliances, allies initiating militarization, etc.), Arrgh will extend hostilities accordingly. Delays in negotiations or non-acceptance of the above demands will result in a steady increase of the demanded ransom. P.S. Regarding the reported leak, indeed Arrgh has been planning to hit someone this Saturday day-change into Sunday. The lucky someone that will be accepting the cannonballs of the main Arrgh armada is USSR. tl;dr: Loose lips sink journalist ships. ARRGH!4 points

WTF is going on with TKR and its protectorates? It's Mayhem! As the perennial benevolent dictators of Orbis, The Knights Radiant have a long and rich history of involvement in helping alliances large and small develop into the best possible versions of themselves. One of the most direct ways we effect this development is through the time-honoured tradition of protectorship. On this 24th day of September 2022, we wish to update the larger Orbis community on the status of our protectorates. Existing Protectorates Federated States of Orbis We signed FSO as a protectorate a little over 4 months ago and have been greatly impressed with the huge strides they have continued to make ever since. Parliamentary democracy sometimes gets a bad rap in this game, but FSO have found a way to make it work while developing the necessary levers to remain nimble when required. While we can’t take credit for FSO’s progress, we are glad to have been able to assist and to continue assisting FSO in further establishing itself as Orbis’ preeminent parliamentary democracy. The Forgotten Realms In case you missed the recent announcement, we are excited to be working with one of Orbis’ newest alliances as they settle into the dynamics of Politics and War. Led by experienced players from CN, The Forgotten Realms are a welcome infusion of fresh skilled blood into the game. We look forward to showing them around and helping them gain a foothold in Orbis. New Protectorate Announcements We know, we know, we have a prot problem; but the first step to solving any problem is recognizing there is one. However, we don’t actually have a solution yet so instead we are happy to announce today two new protectorate agreements. World Task Force We’re finally crossing off one of the oldest items on our bucket list and announcing our first ever treaty with World Task Force. Our friends from WTF approached us in the spirit of community renewal and a desire to play a more involved and proactive role in the political world of Orbis. To this end, TKR and WTF affirm our mutual commitment to constant improvement, and we are signing WTF to a protectorate agreement with immediate effect. We firmly believe that an alliance with an active and experienced community like WTF’s should be afforded the opportunity to play a greater role in the politics of Orbis. Our expectations for WTF are high (their alliance ID is lower than ours, after all) and we look forward to working with their team to help them meet and exceed them. Welcome aboard, WTF! Mayhem Finally, we are excited to announce that we’re getting the band back together and are welcoming back to the fold some of our oldest friends in TigerFire, Boyce, Vader, and Tevron. We are proud to sign Imperium The Order Mayhem as a protectorate and wish them all the best as we work towards our common goals. --- The Knights Radiant Wizel, King of the Heralds Canbec, Prince of the Heralds BigMorf, Ghostblood Babsk Steven Hoffmann, Herald of War Modi, Herald of Internal Affairs Lancelot, Herald of Growth Kyubnyan, Herald of Fabrials Roberts, Ghostblood Apprentice tl;dr: TKR signs World Task Force and Mayhem as protectorates.1 point

Remove the option to launch missiles and nuclear weapons during raid wars stopping crying children from just dealing millions of damage because your beating them and you can't retort because they have such low Infastructure.0 points
