1: Our Job is to Report the News
A news anchor sips a cup of hot coffee as he sits at a desk, reviewing the contents of the teleprompter that he will be reading in 14 minutes. Assistants groom his hair, he habitually pays them no mind. Various news staff bustle around him, the room is filled with the noise of professionals preparing a broadcast.
A news company mid-level manager rushes into the room and drops a manilla folder in front of the reporter. Wilker looks up from his coffee and teleprompter scripts and paints a confused and annoyed expression on his face.
“Last minute changes. Urgent, had to be done. They got rushed in this morning. Sorry about that. Hope there’s still time for you to review.” Wilker sighs and drops the old script into the waste bin beneath his desk, before flipping through the new papers in front of him. Then his eyes go wide.
“This is for real, Blande? This really happened? We’re not just making this up?” Color drained from Wilker’s face as Blande shot him a solemn look.
“Of course it’s real. Our job’s to report the news, not fabricate it.” Wilker once again got lost in the script printouts, and Blande used the opportunity to quickly leave the room. As he entered the hallway, quiet as he could so no one could hear, he said under his breath:
”That’s the government’s job.”
2: Press Briefings

For those of you too lazy to click, here’s an excerpt:
Today, the cabinet discussed :
Herr Vootsman's emptiness.
Evry's presence.
Then Krapis pulled out his d***.
And Dinnyin called it "pretty."
Blande asked a question.
DMJ pointed directly at Krapis' d***.
Whydoibothertoo gave an answer to Blande's question.
Then Krapis took out a hit on a Venezuelan drug lord.
Din exuded big top energy.
Blande made a typo.
Then he demanded everyone scream.
Harambe finally caught up with the times.
Melissa Rose popped the f*** off.
And then beat Krapis to within an inch of his life.
Which Blande thought was hilarious and fell on the floor laughing at.
The end.
3: The News that it is our Job to Report
In a turn of events that only one congressman has expressed joy over, the person at the center of the recent CBOD drama, spanning nearly three weeks now, has resigned every erep position she held, left every erep-related discord server, and posted a goodbye article that can be found below.

It is assumed that Aeriadne, previously known as Aramec and Athanaric, is not returning to the game. Member’s of Aeri’s MU have posted articles related to it, one of which can be found here.

In addition to being CBOD, an MU member, and a good friend to myself and others, Aeri has had a wealth of experience serving government. She has served numerous terms as Press Secretary and SecMed, several congress terms, as well as a CP term. She is a part of eUS history, and she will be missed. I encourage all to post fond memories of Aeri in the comments below.
In other news, it has been announced in the public congress forum board that a peace deal has been made with Brazil. They will now be a TW partner for the eUS, and we have gained respect in the Asterian circle for our high damage output, despite drama involving certain tanks temporarily withholding damage. We even jumped several spots on the national leaderboards! Go USA!

On the domestic front, Fantasy Fighter League is now open for business, having secured temporary private funding, and hoping to transition into an item that receives regular funding from Congress. If you’d like to learn more about it, read up on the article below from WDIB.

A memory of Aeri that stands out to me is from way back in our UIP days. She got me and some other UIP people into some forum roleplay site, and we ended up doing an in-depth zombie survival RP with some of the site's regular users. It was a pretty fun time. I hope to keep in contact with her, and start playing some other long-term games with her if possible. She's a cool person.
You are awesome

When the news breaks, we fix it.
Nice work on this Wilker! On so a great Sec Med was born! Now about that feature in there...
FFL is just a reimagining of an older idea that ran under the hand of Mr Trite who has been many names during one of the Gnilraps terms. He did a fine job. I just wanted to give people a reason to watch the damage leaderboard and maybe root on their favorite Tanks.
Seriously people, sign up! You can win 100k cc if you win week 1 and the best part, I PAY YOU 1k cc just for your entry that meets the base requirements.
Excellent
great whpr
Melissa sent me.
Well done!
After 8 years away, just wanted to pop in and say hi to all. It honestly feels like just yesterday since I was on, but perhaps that's because the site hasn't changed much haha
Anyway, wishing you all well, and glad to see some familiar names still going strong
