The City Scoop
Rikti Attack City Scoop Office!
By
Marcian_Tobay
Vol. I, Issue XVIII
September 14th, 2007
Last
week, several thousand Rikti were seen descending upon the City Scoop office in
an attack that could only be referred to as That One Time the Rikti Attacked
the City Scoop Office. After a certain patch went completely untested, a Rikti
invasion dayalthough conveniently foreseen by Positron and Statesmanlanded
invaders in the center of the Scoop workplace!
Members of the City Scoop were quick to act against the wicked menace known as
the Rikti (or, to lovers of anagrams, the Kitir). Dirtwolf was quick to let
forth a mighty Buh and hide the artwork from the prying hands of the Rikti.
Pants Stealer was able to live up to her name and relieve many Rikti of their
pants, rendering them embarrassed and vulnerable. Even Scorn joined in, bravely
pushing GuyPerfect away from falling debris into the hands of what would later
turn out to have been Rikti.
"It was horrible!" remarked Lemur Lad, "They lured me into a room by saying.
Inside: Fruit-laden, and when I got there, there was NO FRUITS! I even had to
smash this death trap dealie they had on the door to get out. So mad..."
During the mess and tragedy, there was, for a brief moment, a reprieve. This
came when the brave and fearless Lighthouse came to ask for the current weeks
edition of the City Scoop. Thinking quickly, Hertz scribbled down a message and
sent it off with Lighthouse, in hopes that the Freedom Phalanx, or at least
Customer Service, would arrive in time to help avert the disaster. The results
of this effort can be found
here.
The efforts continued to be varied and powerful. Lady Athyna used powerful
storm blasts, scattering Rikti and paper all over. Teldon promised Behind the
Mask interviews to whoever retreated, and Burning Brawler both burned and
brawled heroically. After an epic battle, sadly, the majority of the team was
overwhelmed by the many Rikti, who captured and restrained our valiant
Scoopers. The Rikti declared, Doom: Imminent..
Then,
from nowhere, and in a most dramatic fashion came Protea, who conceived a
brilliant plan. Quickly and with much secrecy did Protea sell himself five
separate times to Born2luz. Having artificially inflated his value, he
negotiated with Rikti and asserted that he was worth at least five times more
than the rest of the team (read: a pair of fairy wings). The Rikti freed the
rest of the team, eager to add Protea to their list of experiments.
It was a heroic struggle with many explosions, exclamations of POW! and
ZAM! and frantic skirmishes. Many causalities were had on both sides, and
many Rikti gratzed each other on achieving the Newsworthy Badge for having
killed a certain number of City Scoop members.
At this time we ask for moment of silence for those that fell: Hertz, who fell
delivering a message for salvation, Protea, who is currently scheming to escape
the Rikti, GuyPerfect, who died being saved, and Frost, who went missing during
the scuffle. You will all be remembered for generations to come, or until a
database purge removes the proof that you worked on this project.
To Our Loyal Readers,
Okay, so maybe it wasn't exactly a Rikti attack, but it was once
said that in every joke there's a grain of truth. The truth is, we've been
moving around and rearranging our team. Several of the City Scoop team has
decided to move on with their lives, and we thank them for their contributions.
They were great additions to the team, and they really helped the community
(including myself) see what the Scoop could do. They will be missed.
What does this mean for the Scoop? It means that we're changing,
and it means that we are growing. Hertz has had to step down due to other
obligations, and I thank him very much for being my partner in getting this off
the ground. We'll still need two Editor In Chiefs, though, and Lemur_Lad has
agreed to step up to the plate and guide the Scoop. You may see some changes
here and there, but Lemur's always been one of the hardest working members of
the team, and I can tell you with much confidence that, despite Hertz's
departure, Lemur's leadership will only mean good things for our team.
Are we looking for new staff members? We always are. Send either
Lemur_Lad or me a PM, and we'd be glad to work with you to see where you can
work on the team. We're City of X fans, just like you, and we'd love to hear
what you can bring to the team.

P.S. It seems like I can't contain my gratitude for those that
must leave but have helped us get to where we are. I hope you all do well in
your future ventures.

In my wanderings about this wonderful land we call The Forums, I
stumbled upon a thread I think a larger portion of the playerbase would be
interested in.
For
those that may not be aware, two City Of * players were contestants on Who
Wants To Be A Super Hero on Sci-Fi channel. The Defuser, aka
Detective2416 and Mindset, aka
Dementor.
Super
gratz to Defuser! But now, The Defuser needs your help.
Can you design a new costume for him? No giant, evil Stan Lee will get
in your way while you undertake this task.
