      ÔÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÓ       
  An anonymous avatar broke the Library 
policy and managed to remove three of   
the most valued books in the collection.
"The Path of the Smile and the Sword",  
"The Tome of Blue Mold" & "The Treasure 
of the Lost Towers" are missing. THE    
RANT is cooperating with authorities to 
withhold details of the sinister crime  
in order to discourage copycat attempts.
THE ORACLE has taken steps to insure    
that this action cannot be repeated.

*RANT* We understand your favorite in-  
door sport is scaring new avatars. True?
*SPBLives* Why YES! My favorite trick   
is to travel with my monster head on    
as a ghost, and pop~ in and out as     
fast as I can sending a 'ROAR!' message.
*RANT* Rumor has it that you are rich as
as result of selling ALL the Fountain's 
water as a miracle cure. Any comment?   
*SPBLives* No Truth To The Rumor at all.

Who is Guarding our Economic Prosperity?
        *** By: ICwhatUmin ***          
----------------------------------------
The Oracle has seen the potential for   
Economic ruin in this influx of Humans  
(No offense Humans) and has shut down   
the Stock Market. We need to take a look
at the damage we may do to our shops and
Vendroids. I'm calling for the formation
of a Merchant's Guild. This would allow 
us to keep prices fair and help new shop
owners keep their heads above water.

The "human" now sharing my life has told
me of the econonic trouble his world has
seen, he attributes most of this to WAPT
(WingTips and Power ties). He tells me  
that fortunatly Avatars don't wear these
evil items of clothes. He does say that 
this does not free us from danger. So,  
how about it Avatars? Shall we save our 
beloved Pop, city of dreams? I say we   
must.
