no worries, its coming.


Can we do journalistic requests? If so, I want to know the real reason for why Dallane and Bait are not in Sevenless' village in this world. Are they spying? Did something happen last world that made them choose to not want to play that closely again with Sevenless?

I want to know the details :D.


you could just ask one of us lol


Yeah, but I would be rather clueless about how much of the truth you would actually say and I am hoping Tonkyhonk is in better position to seperate the BS from the facts, or at least I hope so:P.

Yeah, cuz the Tumbleweed Courant is only allowed to post the truth.

Any and all sources of news/media are biased in one way or another, including this one.

As far as I know tonky was suggesting yellow journalism before she came up with the Idea of The Tumbleweed Courant.
From wikipedia:
"Yellow journalism, or the yellow press, is a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers"

In other words, a "Gossip Rag"... those from modern free market economies should know about these. Common titles are "World News", "People", "National Enquirer", etc. Fun reads if you want to indulge yourself with a bunch of trash that is, at best, half-truths, with the rest completely made up. Certain media owners, such as Murdoch, have made headlines themselves recently for rather blatant, illegal activities trying to play Paparazzi.
