OOC: Orion Notice!

From Arealius Barbosa

Two items:

1. One of our Swords is going to make a public announcement of joining into partnership sometime this week. Their Partnership ceremony will be done as Orions.

2. Intelligence is inticating there will be a combat roleplay in the Al Raqis/Splintered Rock Sim initiated by the UFS against Orions. Those wanting to participate in this combat roleplay contact Jo Massenberg or Ar Barbosa.

OOC: RP Notice for Players

It has been observed by Orion Operatives at UFS that Starfleet is now receiving attacks from people not in the Orion-Starfleet roleplay. It is very important that you wear your meter AND your group title when roleplaying with the UFS personnel or on their home sim. Otherwise you could be mis-identifed as a griefer. Small courtesy that results in avoiding big mistakes.

Archeologists Missing; Amazing Find Rumored

From Raconteur Reports

AL RAQIS CITY - Investigators are asking for the public to help to locate a missing archeological team, last seen heading northeast into the wastes. Long overdue to check in, authorities uncovered files describing the team's search: tracing possible offworld migrations to original settlers of Al Raqis.

Locals quickly denounced rumors and conspiracy threories around amazing "secrets" the team may have found. Anyone with information on the missing team should contact the Magistrate's office.

OOC: Rumor Backlog Cleared

By Allen Kerensky

It seems quite a few folks entered rumors starting about 5 seconds after I went on vacation last week *grin* I am back from my trip, and have approved all the pending rumors that seemed usable.

A few rumors were deleted from pendinglist, usually involving specific people's sexual preferences.
Remember, when entering rumors, please phrase them as if you had overheard people in the street talking about someone else.

Just saying "I did this" is not helpful, since no one would know who "I" was.
Enjoy!
