MASTER ZEN, CONSUL OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE GLORY OF WAR LAUGHS HIS @SS OFF AFTER FINDING THE COMMUNIQUE FROM SPAIN DIRECTED AT FORMER EMPEROR GHENGISFARB

Zenophobia - Master Zen officially responded:

[GhengisFarb™]

GHENGISFARB DENIES ANY KNOWLEDGE OF SPANISH COMMUNIQUE

"I have no idea what their talking about. Everyone knows I have no authority or pull in the Glory of War anymore. I'm not allowed to run for office or hold any governor position over Cities. Why do they pester me so? If they are unhappy with how relations have gone between our two countries they should have supported my family in the Civil War. Now they will just have to live with the Roundheads."

An hour later GhengisFarb was taken into custody by GoW government troops. Sources believe he was taken to the GoW's Deep Dark Dungeon.

Report: Spanish Children Suffering Shortages of Silken Bedspreads and Gold-Nosed Teddy Bears
'Mindless Atrocity' of War Prevents Shipments of Gold Building Blocks

SEVILLA, SPAIN--Wednesday--The recent war between the nations of Glory of War and Neu Demogyptica against Spain has brought many hardships to the people of Spain.

In Sevilla, hard-hit by the lack of resources that were deferred to the War Effort, the children are forced to give up their golden building blocks in favor of cheaper wooden ones just so they can continue to have their daily meals of fine Spanish Squid.

"The big boom-boom in the North means we have no pretty shiny blocks to play with," an eight-year old Sevilla resident, who does not even have modern-day necessities such as a padded chamberbidet or the customary twelve servants to act upon his every whim.

Spanish government officials could not be reached for comment.

The children are not the only ones suffering, however--adults in Spain do too. Spamish Mitchell, longtime participator in the Squid business, tells us that due to the stricter checkpoints and his employees being sent off to the front lines to fight for Spain, it costs him up to three times as much to operate the Spam Brand Squid shop.

"We're barely making an even profit...we've had to cut funding for our Squid breeding by 30%, and we expect that at worst we might have to drop the program altogether...."

In recent months Spam Brand has had to give up deals with more than thirty various merchants who do the distribution of its Squid, effectively ending most of their business. (El Squid Company does not sell Squid in most of frontier Spain, thus Spam is the only line of supply for life-giving Squid.)

We talked to Señor El Madeupo Forte Distory, a market owner on the outskirts of Sevilla, for his perspective on the issue. "Ever since Spamish couldn't supply Sevilla adequate Squid and had to give it a ration of 100 a day, the market has been nothing more than a riot in the morning as people hope to grab up a Squid. After the last Squid is sold, activity drops to nothing more than the occasional oddball purchaser of goats' brains.

The general mood of Sevilla is one of despair. Most people spend their day sulking inside of their homes. The children, not really understanding the horrors of war, spend their time playing outside when their parents let them, but we wait disheartedly for the first of the rage of Glory of War or Neu Demogyptican arrows to land in town.

However, not all Sevillans feel this way. An Alsomad Uhp, a natural-born Glory of War citizen who immigrated to Spain in his early years, has decided to return to the Glory of War lands to solicit donations for our lavishness-starved children. He tells true tales of children who are said to be living in the Great Midieval Spain but who can not even get their fried elephant tusks on a stick for snacks. In the last letter he sent to Spain, several weeks ago, he mentioned some kind of "great conspiracy" by some "Shadow Emperor CrazyGhengis" to "totally, mercilessly, and brutally destroy" Spain.

HOUSE GHENGIS DONATES VAST SUMS TO AID SPANISH ORPHANS

House Ghengis, former Imperial Household of GoW, has donated vast sums of gold and wine to ease the suffering of the cruel victims of the war in Spain. "Its not their fault they were born into an ineffecient and incompetent nation. We must help them as fellow human beings. Okay, maybe "human beings" is streching it a bit, but their still almost sentient creatures...."

PANAG reveals there are no orphans


after a long and deep investigation , yes even the smallest stones where lifted up , panag has yet to find eveidence of those orphans , ........

when faced with a shortage of manpower the imperial Greek armed forces with long hairs where called to the scene to aide in the investigation

one can only speculate as to where the money and wine that was donated , or claimed to be donated went to , .........

a special undercover team is now dropped in Spain to look for further evidence of poor and suffering spanish children

it seems that agents from spain are now involved in a massive campaign to raise items like wine and gems , not to speak of the massive fund raising that goes on , is just a huge PR campaign from Spain

Moorish Hordes Suffer Agonizing Defeat
Spanish Crusaders Surprise and Destroy Entire Moorish Battalion!

Zaragoza, Spain -- Moorish Hordes of infantry and pikemen were attacked and destroyed this morning in a surprise attack by Vetran Spanish Crusaders. The Moors had just crossed the Silk River and were marching on Zaragoza when their formations were overrun by a sudden and ferocious assault by numerous divisions of the General Joseph Dejon's Crusader Army, pouring forth from behind the great walls of Zaragoza, the Holy City and center of the Catholic faith throughout the world.

Five vetran divisions of Moorish Invaders were slaughtered by Crusaders who hailed from such noble military Orders as the Sacred Name, the Blood of Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

The elder Joseph Dejon himself lead the Knights of St. John into Battle, during the first wave of the war and was successful in breaking the ranks of the Moorish Pikes, allowing the remaining Crusaders to surround and destroy the unprepared infantry battalion that lay behind them. The battle itself was over in less than one hour.

Said the elder Dejon shortly after the battle, "The Spanish forces at Zaragoza defended the honour and intergrity of the Holy City, and of Spain itself. The heretics put up little fight after the first few weapons clashed, which speaks volumes about their backbone and morale."

Of note, one division of Moorish infantry, a company of regular troops, all young Arab boys pressed into service, was allowed to leave unharmed from the battle. This was done, according to Dejon, "so that they might grow a bit older, train, and then present worthy opponents for our soldiers. We fight against men, not children."

Spain celebrates 1 AD
by George Finkle

PAMPLONA--In Spain, the recently passed year 1 AD had a very special significance. AS you may know, AD stands for "Anno Domini," which is Old Spanish for "Year of the Lord". With the Great Bobian War raging, it is clear to most Spaniards that this date marks the beginning of the greatness of Spain and the glory of God. With the recent conversion of Vox Controli and rumors that the Gathering Storm is on the verge of conversion, the criticality of 1 AD seems even more evident. Pope Calixtus I announced that "This year, I so declare, shall henceforth be remembered as Anno Domini - The Year of Our Lord, for our lives and our souls are in God's hands. Henceforth, all years shall be counted from 1 A.D. onward. So I declare it for the Glory of God." Roly Fernandez added, "The year 1 is no doubt the year of the birth of New Spain. A better one, and a Spain that is destined to rule the world.... It is the year in which the True Evil (ND and GoW infidels) is finally revealed, and the year in which God will give our troops...His Holy Power to Defeat the Devil. That's the War of the End of the World! And Good must triunph over evil!" Archbishop Pablo Winterius put in the final words: "AS missionary Archbishop and A faithfull believer of the True Faith I say THIS is the year of the begining... In THIS Year... beigns an event that shall forever mark our hearts and souls and minds....
This year, and no other , shall be the year of the Greater Glory of our Lord... of Our Nation... Of all the Land.... Forth This Year, the Land Shall shine With the Light of The Glorious Spannish Swords... more than ever, killing infidels here and there, Forth This Year Begins An Event that is the embodying of the Glory And Power of Our Lord.... This Year is The Begining of The Holy Crusade!!!!"

However, not everyone is as optimistic. Spamish Mitchell, for example, said that "In our old pagan ways back in the 3000 BCs , I asked Señor Tacticus (a long-gone hero of Spain) what we were counting down to exactly. His scary prophetic response was that once we were down to 0 BC, the world would end." Also, Cardinal Daniel de la Civ warned about overly glorifying the war: "the nation of Spain and the Holy Church are not about war. We are not 'warmongers,' as the Chinese call themselves.... War is not something to celebrate. Why should we celebrate that thousands of Spaniards will be killed? Thousands of infidels will also die, but that is not something we should be pleased with; those are thousands of souls that will lose their chance to be saved. There is a chance that this war will accelerate the spread of Christianity throughout Bob, but it would likely damage our missionary efforts, because the infidels would feel that the true faith is being forced on them."

OCTAVIAN EXPRESSES APATHY

Speculation continues on why S.P.I.N. is reporting on this subject

The Eye of the Storm - Speculation is still fluttering about after a drunken oburst by longtime lurker Octavian the Tenth in a bar known as 'The Lucky Chicken.'

Details are still sketchy, but it has been reported by many that, after a few too many beers, Octavian reported told everyone on Earth to go to hell. What implications this has on the current Bobian War, or indeed anything, still remains to be seen.

Octavian is infamous for his 'doughnut religion,' and general lurking. He could not be reached for comment, as he still had a hangover this morning.

Thousands of people were polled in cities across the world, and none (save someone who appeared to be drunk himself) knew who he was.

When experts were questioned by S.P.I.N. on the subject, all replied with the question, "Why the hell are you reporting on this?" S.P.I.N. could not be reached for comment on that question.

Town of San Agustin briefly rebels against GS control
by George Finkle

If you go from the old Palace of Madrid, one of the few buildings that survived the Great Fire, northwest along the Tajo river for 50 miles, you will reach the small town of San Agustin. With approximately 8000 inhabitants, previously its only claim to fame was that it is the hometown of the de la Civ clan. Now, it has the fame, or infamy, of being the home of the first major insurrection against the Gathering Storm in northeast Spain, which has been handed administratively to the Estonians.

The revolt began when a brigade of Stormian pikemen came to the town to announce that they would be in charge of San Agustin and the surrounding region, and that the Gathering Storm had taken control of the entire New Madrid region. This greatly upset many San Agustinians, especially the religious leaders, who adamantly refused to accept any orders from pagans. Soon, over 1000 men had taken up arms and ambushed the Stormian pikemen. The pikemen were butchered. Five days later, the central Stormian authority in New Madrid sent three more brigades of pikemen to restore order. However, seemingly miraculously, by the time they arrived, the rebellion had ended and the leaders of San Agustin welcomed the Stormians.

What had happened? Cardinal de la Civ, a celebrated hero in San Agustin, had rushed to his birthplace as soon as he heard of the uprising. As the pikemen received their orders to go to the town, the town received orders from the Cardinal to accept Stormian administration. "Would you rather be ruled temporarily by Egyptian pagans who are the verge of a mass conversion to Christianity, or by Chinese pagans forever?" he reportedly asked the San Agustinians. "Those are your options. If you wish for Spain to survive, you have only one."
