Local News Roundup, Day 731
Editor's Note
Now, normally someone (in this case Topy XYZ) announcing a week-long absence isn't noteworthy, but in his message, he makes a good point. He asks citizens to read all articles, as we are NOT a large community. I know I certainly do! [1]
My efforts should not be considered exclusive, which is why I always link to the original articles. I also hope that in linking these articles, I rescue note-worthy ones from the 50+ articles void. I hope that this can be a place for new players, wiki-writers, and those who don't have time to read a week's worth of articles.
Ministry of Merriment
TODAY IS THE DEADLINE! If you are interested in participating in the writing contest, participate NOW. As you can see from the Bisrock Industries entry, it doesn't have to be extravagant (100 words is not much!) so don't be unnerved by roymustang's 8-page entry. [2]
If they don't get more Filipino participants, MoM has threatened to give him 2nd and 3rd place prizes along with 1st! [3]
! ! ! ! !
Also, the Ministry of Merriment and the Department of Foreign Affairs are both still looking for active players willing to help in their respective duties.

Statistics & Updates
These are great reads - I had no idea you could get so much data from the current APIs, and it's always good to keep tabs on Congress, especially if you are considering joining their ranks in the next week! Speaking of which, that last PSA (Congress Election Reminders) is a vital read.

P.S. - Sorry for the delay, it's been a busy week
Good Work! I think I need more people like you to help me in the Wiki (haven't made any major update in any Wiki PH-related articles for 3 weeks due to heavy RL workloads).
YEP. RL sucks. And on top of all, yesterday my HDD died, I'm going crazy. If next week I won't get back my data ...
Nice article!! We need people like you here in ePhilippines.
Mahusay!!
It was South Africa, haha. The Head of Social affairs there asked repeatedly for it. And I didn't think people would be upset. Now I'm considering buying a new Q1 House to giveaway, as an apology, I suppose.
Hehe, good catch. Nah, you don't need to apologize. I was just trying to summarize - including the comments
Uhmm. Nice guess. But I'm studying Nursing.
"so don't be unnerved by roymustang's 8-page entry"
haha, i even made up at least 8 stories. then with the help of "innie,minnie,miney and moe" X was picked
Great work!
Good Job! (First on the list =p)
Well, "the list" is there in case people delete their articles - so at least people know who wrote the story it as linked to.
