(PA) Phoenix Alliance Guild Begins Councilor and Commander Elections
Organization: Phoenix Alliance Guild (PA)
Factions: All
Recently, the Phoenix Alliance Guild has commenced a new election cycle for the nine councilors seats and one commander seat of the guild's high council. Political Analysts as well as members of the guilds are in agreement that there is a large possibility for new leaderships to emerge in both elections. Commander MiexonBionic, who's position is also in the election, spoke recently about the changing dynamics within the guild.
"Recently, the guild has seen a large influx of new members who are very motivated, interested, and active in bettering the guild in many places. I would be shocked if many of our veteran councilors lose their places to a much younger and more energetic group of candidates."
Although MiexonBionic admitted that "...many seats will likely change hands", he also stated that "...a core group of veterans are likely to remain amongst the High Council." Many political analysts believe that this election cycle will be one of the more interesting elections of this year while others argue otherwise. Either way, the transition of power is argued by all to be a peaceful one.

Subject: Fifth Ultimate Wingman Tournament
Organization: The Viper Guild (VPR)
Factions: All
Relevant Date/Time: Saturday 6/27/09 at 7PM GMT (3PM EST)
The Fifth Ultimate Wingman Tournament will be held Saturday 6/27/09 at 7PM GMT (3PM EST). Signup cutoff is a half hour prior. To sign up, see Strat or Ishathis Bessuni in-game or post the in-game names of you and your wingman on the forum at www.viperguild.com. The winning team will receive a prize, courtesy of The Viper Guild.
Rules:
1. You must enter with a wingman. You may not change wingmen.
2. There are no weapon restrictions, but only four ship chassis are allowed. You may participate in any non faction-specific Centurion, Vulture, Warthog, or Atlas. This means your ship will probably be a mkIII or mkIV.
3. The tournament ladder will be a simple double elimination format.
4. Similar to the nation war, leaving the sector is not permitted, and running for obscene distances will result in disqualification. Interpreting this distance is up to the discretion of your fight's moderator. In previous tournaments, many people did turn their backs, but only to switch targets to their second enemy. This is acceptable. Fleeing to avoid getting shot is not.
5. Lagging out renders you victim to whatever happens to your ship. Matches will only be replayed in the event of a server/system/sector crash. Participants may be disqualified for severe lag.
6. Any players who disrupt any major player-run event and become banned from the event between the time of this post and the tournament will not be permitted to participate in the tournament.

A NEWS item!?!?

Normally I would try to edit for more of an RP feel (avoiding reference to VO being a game, using pilot instead of player, etc.), but I'm short on time.

I can rewrite it if you'd like.
Thanks, but I'll do.

Oh I know. I was curious as to how long it would take for somebody to notice.
