Don't give me that invasion tripe, I know what's going on. The staff is busy doing MEAN things to poor Mr. Bubbles and making little girls cry!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah. Those Scoopers are out there harvesting Little Sisters.

[/ QUOTE ]

If that's the case we will never see the scoop again, you don't mess with the little sisters, without dealing with the big daddies, and Mr. B is no slouch. If they survive, next scoop will come to us from the hospital.

I heard that they are having a party, and 'They' are the pizza men from Pizza Hut, Dominos, and Papa John's. They decided to order from all of them to avoid a super-powered brawl over which was better.

"This is Major Tom to ground control.
Im stepping through the door
And Im floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today...

For here...
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet earth is blue
And theres nothing I can do.

Though Im past one hundred thousand miles
Im feeling very still.
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell me wife I love her very much. (She knows)."

or in I-11 beta...

[/ QUOTE ]
Actually I-11 beta hasn't started yet, and a lot of scoop staff don't get invited to the closed betas.

Please use this thread to discuss the below announcement:


I'm not quite sure what to make of this, but I just found this hastily scribbled note on my desk from the City Scoop, our player publication for Supers, by Supers. It says:

"Don't have long. They're coming. No Scoop this week. Send our regards.

im torn between:
"Azn Gold FARMERZ!!11!!!!1!!"
AND
"You all keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Well, I think I know what happened...The horoscope writer obviously ticked off the Entities, and ya know how much paper people use around there? The shredding, and the buying of more paper, and the shredding...so wasteful, that the trees finally snapped, and broke new ground to go after the city scoop. Lemur Lad took a picture of a super hero, in a not so good position, and is now being hunted by a sg full of fire.rads. Tundara, acting so innocent in this entire scheme actually sent out a angry mob of otters in chase of the city scoop. The rikti, seeing a large amount of creatures in one area, sent out many many rikti down to destroy all life, as usual. Thus they had to evacuate the building, to protect the lives of all in the building. I wont expect to see them alive again, for as you all know, nothing is more powerful then an angry mob of trees, fire.rads, rikti, AND tundara's mercenaries. The reason no one but me knows of this (except me, I was wearing a tin foil hat at that time, so I wasnt effected) Was because the otters have been harvesting thousands of bombs filled with sleeping gas. Lighthouse being the first to awaken from this gas, found the note. May the City Scoop writers not only be remembered for their writing, but for the sacrifice they made on this day.

Yup. That seems to be the most logical explanation to me.

You all know the Vanguard are the Fifth Column in disguise right?

The "V" for Vanguard translates to 5. V is the Roamn numeral for 5. 5 is the Fifth number in the acension of numbers (not counting zero). V = 5!!!

THE VANGUARD ARE THE FIFTH COULMN!!!!!

Nah. Vanguard came about during the first Rikti war. Though it's entirely possible that 5th Column spies or sleepers or what have you exist within Vanguard, I don't think they run the show. Besides, the 5th are too busy digging up Reichsmann in Boomtown to worry about fighting aliens. After all, the only guys in Boomtown at all these days are Clocks, Trolls, Council (for whatever reason, probably just 'cause the 5th used to hang out there) and, if I remember correctly, Outcasts. Plus they cap at 19 in that zone, so I'm sure the lvl 54 AV they dig up will be more than a match for anything in the zone except for Babbage, a fight which I predict would end in stalemate, much like the legendary Hamidon Duel during I9 closed beta.

I tried. I really did but I just can’t make it without my weekly fix of the City Scoop. How about we all make our own version and call it the Mock-Scoop? I’ll even get the ball rolling by doing...

Heh, that actually helped. Please feel free to do your own parody of your favorite or least favorite section.

Bah! That was nothing like what I would have done for my column!

I mean, there was no link to a Rick Astley video ANYWHERE!

---

Gah! As if I'm not suffering enough from withdrawal that I have to be reminded of that evil evil man. *Shudders*

Okay so no takers. Guess I'll just have to keep trying to entertain myself until the sheer horror of it all forces them to bring the Scoop back, which is going to happen anyway.

Here's my version of what might been this last week's...

DEAR ATHY:

)342 47#j,

U s0 s3xy. )0 U th1nk 1 b3 s3xy 11k3 U? #0w s0?

--P1mpl3d G33k


Dear Pimpled Geek,

Sorry but Athy was too busy staring at her sexy bod to read your question. Athy has got to go take a bubble bath and stare at herself some more, without any clothes on. Sweet dreams, Suckxor!

~Athy

Dear Athy,

I’m a blaster with a big dirty gun and I like to shoot it off a lot when I’m alone and looking at your sexy picture in private but I need more privacy to blast of my very large gun while looking at your sexy picture when I am alone. What should I do about the fact that I can’t stop blasting off my hot gun in private when I am alone and looking at your sexy picture? I think I need a good Dominator to help me and my steaming gun that I like to shoot off a lot in private. Can you help me find a new Dominator that is as good looking as your picture, and is you, to control my huge smoking gun that I shoot off so much?

--Didu Getzesexualinnuendo?

Dear Jerk,

Sigh. Athy does not get paid enough for this crap! In fact, Athy doesn't get paid anything for this freaking column! That’s it! Athy quits! Athy is too sexy for this bull****!!!

~Athy
