Telling It Like It Is UltimateDestiny
This is the third publication since commencing and I'm sure most of you are aware I was too busy last week to sbumit this. I'm afraid I've not had much time this week either so it'll be a little shorter than previous weeks. Anyway, here goes.

So The Trust hit the Stats this week, having bought the spot. I can't exactly remember who from but I hope you can forgive me. This then provoked a topic to open up in the Game Forum, you may have seen it, then again, you may have not. It simply stated that the creator thought The Trust was a weird name for a Crew. On what grounds can a Crew name be called weird? I don't see any weirdness in that name. In fact, there have been a lot worse. For example, at the time of writing The Black Out (TBO) has now been renamed to The Deadly Pandas. I'm sorry, but what kind of a name is that?! It doesn't seem serious, threatening, dangerous at all, does it? I'm pretty sure average Joe could come up with a better name.

Anyway, if you have a better suggestion for that, please bootmail me, or tell me what's weird about The Trust. Alternatively, just put it in the reply section under this article.

So, another little update was implemented last week, when you missed me. That was of course the little blue bar underneath the Health bar. This, as expected, contributed to about 1 million topics asking, "Hey guys, what the little blue thing underneath health?!" This really bugged me. HOW HARD IS IT TO LOOK IT THE IMPORTANT TOPIC?! One little click there and all your questions would have been answered. Not only the Game Forum but this spread to the OTF as well. It forced game related things into a not-necessarily-game-related forum. How crazy is that. Oh and if you're reading this and you don't know what this is, for my sake, read the IMPORTANT topic.

There was another little update this week as well which sparked controversy and I'm not exactly sure why. Underneath bothe coloured % bars was a little addition of Establishment. It simply states which State you're establishment is in and if you don't have one, it just says None. Everyone suddenly started, okay maybe not everyone, but a lot started to complain about how useless it is. If you are one of these complainers, you clearly don't know how many bootmails some of us get saying,"Can I start escrow with you to see where my land is?" If you disagree, then I don't believe you've received a bootmail like this and then you don't know how irritating this is.

I'm going to stop there for this week. If I don't, I think I'll definitely burst a blood vessel and that is painful. Keep giving feedback!
So, until next week, I bid you adieu.
