Quote of the Day;
"Never toss a live grenade without first withdrawing the pin and legging it"

Main article of the day;
Discrimination in the workforce
-----------------------------
I will not stand for this injustice any longer!
We may be Sligs, but we have feelings too!
You cannot just shut us out or pretend that we don't exist.
Like it or not, Sligs are everywhere!

We are not all gun-toting madmen and we don't all smoke and play cards!
This is a propeganda lie fed to you by the Mudokons to make us out to be the bad guys.

We're just as decent as any Mudokon and that's a fact!

Join us if you'd like, you'll see the world can be a better place.

Signed, Olburg.

RANDOM BITS & BOBS

- Someone has lost a Slog, please return to FlueFarming 104 to pick it up.
- If anyone finds a grenade with a pin in it, it's mine! I dropped it in the Scrab Nest over near Blacksoot Chimmey's Factory at 3AM.
- Lonely Slig looking for love. Bring cigarette and pack of playing cards.

T.O.B.E. continued...

This is my little experiment. Think of it like MA's Newsletter, but more snappy and quicker. I hope this will get me to write again soon. Please feel free to send me your ideas or suggestions!

[Oddey]

I still think you're a little attatched to sligs... It isn't to say that this is awful, if anything it's quite good, rather like sole articles in a newspaper.

I prefered Slig's Weird however.

[MeechMunchie]

You should have written 'T.O.B.E. continued...' at the end.

[AlexFili]

Yoink! You come up with some good ideas.

[AlexFili]

Sorry for the doublepost, but its been a while since the last comment.

Main article of the day;
Hail to the Glukkons!
-------------------
So, Molluck is dead... or is he? Well, we all know he's in hiding.
But what about us? What about the workers and Sligs left behind?
Can we simply turn our backs on our history and go back to working there as if nothing happened? I for one would be happy never to see Rupture Farms opened again.

Mudokons in general are stupid. No offense to most of us reading this, but it's kinda true. Now, it only takes one smart person to do something stupid to totally screw up our long-term plans right? I mean... one mistimed UXB disarmament and, well... you can guess the rest.

Even if we do form an alliance with the Sligs, what then? You think the Glukkons will just take it lying down? Heck, even the Vykkers have started working with the Glukkons. I hate Vykkers even more than Glukkons and that is really saying something!

Now, you may think I'm rambling on (I am). But spare a thought for the pour souls stuck in Rupture Farms. Heck, they may still be in stockyards for all we know. At least... it sure smells like something died down there.

Well, I suppose I should stop writing for now. Although, I would like to leave you with one final thought.

Supposing the world ends tomorrow, what do we have to show for our life's work? We made some animals into lunch. Is that really a life-long motto? I guess it should be.

That's it. No more writing from me for a while.

Catch you on the netherside.

Signed, The Masked Mudokon.

- Today's survey revealed that 99% of Mudokons hate Glukkons and 1% of Mudokons hate Mudokons. That begs the question, why the heck would someone write that they hate their own race? Why would someone write such a poll anyway? Maybe you'll find the answer next week. No you won't - Ed.
- So I was walking down the street and I saw a bone. Now, most people think it's for dogs right? Well this was a massive bone. I'm talking Sea Rex rib. You may think I'm rambling... and you're right! Wanna buy a bone?
- I hate rainy days. Makes my pants go all funny like. Remember the DC Hummer video? Of the guy in the big pants, it was like that... but with more sparks.

... Is this the kind of newspaper/magazine/newsletter that can edit out what people say? Cause if it isn't, I'll have a hard time accepting that any mudokon could have such a vocabulary, along with sligs.

[AlexFili]

There are scribes on hand that will translate common Mudokon words into more distinguishable dialogue.

Also, the same reason that most of the Star Trek / Star Wars characters speak english. Basically it's magically arranged so that it looks like English to your eyes.

[Oddey]

That explains a lot then. I think with that knowledge, this'll be more enjoyable.

~I thought it was very enjoyable from the first.

[AlexFili]

Thank you, that means a lot. I'll write more soon.

[STM]

2nd one was even better with the last one. If you need help with writing i can if u like =D
It's like a laid back MA newsletter isn't it.

[Dryadri]

Nice work, these are quite fun to read

[AlexFili]

Thanks for the comments. I'd like to post another issue but I can't think of any good articles to write. I'll try and make another one soon.

[Oddey]

Maybe something about... What Abe's next move will be?

[STM]

maybe what about the breakouts on the eastern rim - see unreleased slig M.O.M news on youtube

[AlexFili]

I'm putting this on hold for a while. Thanks for the comments!
