The 1171 Weekly Gazette
Serving #1171 with uncompromising local journalism, emergency punctuation, and the courage to ask hard questions about trench coats, pokes, manure shoes, tortilla law, turret glory, and suspicious frogs.

Shock: Kingdom Prep Lost, Castle Clock Records Historic Absence Of Us
The Gazette regrets to inform its readers that #1171 has suffered the sort of strategic weekend normally described with quiet voices, closed curtains, and a firm instruction not to look directly at the scoreboard.
The facts are these: Kingdom Prep was lost. Kingdom versus Kingdom was lost. The enemy was simply too strong. And the Castle Battle produced the number every civic historian fears:
0 castle time.
The result screen put the matter with the cruel efficiency of an accountant wearing armor:
Unfortunately, the King's Castle has been occupied by the opposing side. Your kingdom has lost.
The Gazette accepts this as fact, but refuses to let facts sit alone without a committee. The leading explanation is the least entertaining one: 1215 was stronger, better coordinated, and annoyingly present on the correct tiles.
Still, the Inquiry Board has opened the traditional file of Great Excuses. Cheating remains unproven but emotionally available. Strategic restraint has been suggested, meaning #1171 may have conducted a profound demonstration of non-possession. Poor judgement is also under review, along with internal misunderstandings and certain unnamed alliances whose commitment level has been filed under "atmospheric."
The Gazette names no names. Named alliances deny things. Unnamed alliances become weather.
The preferred newsroom theory is that HUN was so burdened by excellence elsewhere that the universe demanded balance. HUN still has enough leaderboard dignity to prevent total civic collapse, and Big Chicky Nuggy produced numbers fine enough to make even a defeat story reach for a gold ribbon.
None of this changes the result. Castle time was zero. The enemy was too strong. The official inquiry remains open, and the Gazette demands better prep, clearer commitment, and at least one minute of castle time next time so the headline desk can stop doing battlefield philosophy before lunch.
Exclusive: Two-Week Hypocrisy Cloud Descends On 1171
Residents of #1171 were urged this week to secure livestock, moral certainty, loose footwear, and any family members likely to wander into World Chat after a major hypocrisy front was reported over the server.
The scandal began as a diplomatic disagreement with 1215 and expanded with alarming speed into what local officials are calling a full community weather event. Charmander, addressing citizens from the burning steps of chat history, issued the statement that turned a chat dispute into a civic inheritance case:
1171 gave you a home... and you spat in the face of the people who took you in. That's all from me. End of discussion.
The Gazette has opened a formal investigation into what exactly a server can give a person: shelter, identity, emotional furniture, or possibly a small municipal passport. What is clear is that "gave you a home" immediately raised the stakes from argument to betrayal, and from betrayal to the sort of matter that requires a headline, a committee, and several people saying "disgusting" in different time zones.
The foreign policy desk was then handed a second statement:
you are my enemies, and no foreign enemy has the right to burn you.
This is the kind of sentence local government dreams of and international law fears. It establishes a doctrine of protective hostility: you may be despised, but only through the proper domestic channels. Imported burning remains under review, and the Gazette will publish the findings as soon as anyone understands what the findings are.
By evening, the crisis had reached the weather office:
Get out of here already, because this hypocrisy won't be removed from the server for two whole weeks.
The warning was repeated with enough confidence that several residents began treating hypocrisy as a substance with a removal schedule. Visibility was poor. Drama was heavy. Witnesses reported light manure and a strong smell of pending screenshots.

Big Poker of the Week: MyQueen HUN Crowned in Fully Innocent Civic Ceremony
The Gazette has received several letters asking whether a respectable local paper may maintain a Page 3 tradition without becoming improper, embarrassing, or legally interesting. After a lengthy editorial meeting, two cups of coffee, and one nervous glance toward Public Safety, the answer is yes.
Page 3 is hereby reserved for a fully clothed, family-safe, socially harmless portrait of the week's most spectacular micro-celebrity. No scandalous posing. No suggestive nonsense. Just one citizen, one public incident, and the sort of local fame that can only be earned by turning a game mechanic into a municipal event.
This week's honoree is MyQueen HUN, whose credentials arrived in capital letters:
I POKED THE KING!!!!
The newsroom briefly stopped functioning. Not because of the poke itself, but because the declaration had the quality of a coronation, a confession, and a town-square emergency bulletin shouted through a brass instrument.
The moment was made even finer by the immediate adult realization that followed:
... things you never thought you'd say as an adult
This is exactly the cultural territory Page 3 was created to protect. Somewhere between dignity and World Chat lies a narrow public footpath where grown people announce royal pokes and then quietly notice what has happened to their lives. The Gazette salutes this honesty.
The Big Poker file also contains a logistics warning of unusual importance:
Why is everyone so far away ... will poke you all!!! In 7-10 business days...
This transforms poking from a gesture into infrastructure. Roads, calendars, alliances, delivery windows, and emotional preparedness are now involved. If there is a more local-newspaper sentence than "will poke you all in 7-10 business days", the Gazette has not found it, and frankly does not want to.
Further testimony revealed the burden carried by a true professional:
I should probably have better stats for someone who likes to poke so much
The Gazette disagrees only in tone. Stats are temporary. A reputation for publicly poking royalty is forever, or at least until the next edition knocks over a fence, finds a frog, or declares a tortilla emergency.
For courage, timing, logistical ambition, and the rare ability to make a poke sound like a state visit, MyQueen HUN is named Big Poker of the Week.
War And Government
South Turret Shock: Stunning Victory Sparks Numbers Row
The Gazette's War Desk was activated after reports emerged of a "stunning victory" near the South Turret. Although no one in the newsroom was emotionally prepared, the phrase itself was judged severe enough to justify immediate coverage.
Witnesses reported:
Our rally won a stunning victory against [IMMA/South Turret!
The celebration was brief, because in #1171 no victory is allowed to remain unaccompanied by a counterscandal. Within minutes, the public square filled with military analysts, number lawyers, garrison detectives, troop accountants, and men prepared to explain that defeat only counts when measured under laboratory conditions.
One anonymous battlefield correspondent filed the first explosive assessment:
Look at that less people and smoked you. Now get lost
The same source then provided the mandatory statistical grievance:
You only won when I had like 300k-400k less troops
The Gazette considers this a classic case of conditional victory management. A win may have occurred, but only inside a fenced zone of explanation where every participant remains undefeated in spirit, defeated in syntax, and available for further comment.
Prep-And-Castle Mystery Deepens As Officials Refuse To Rule Out Dignity Loss
The Kingdom Prep and Castle Bureau faced pressure this week after testimony suggested that prep, castle, and dignity may all have been involved in the same incident.
Obilicious offered the first official-sounding summary:
Yes prep and castle
Moments later, the Bureau received a darker supplement:
Lose prep and lose castle
The Gazette treats this as a developing story of the highest administrative importance. If prep has been lost, residents must ask where it was last seen. If castle has also been lost, the matter moves from logistics into architecture. If both are lost, the public deserves answers, a map, and possibly a whistleblower with a clipboard.
Until more evidence arrives, citizens are advised to keep prep and castle in separate labeled containers and avoid discussing either while nuggies, pokes, or manure shoes are active in the same chat window.
Leaderboards And Results
Official Numbers Desk: HUN Takes Power, UNF Holds The Door, MMA Given Bronze Chair
The Gazette has activated its Numbers Desk after obtaining leaderboard screenshots, which in local journalism is basically a sworn affidavit with more buttons and slightly worse lighting.
The Alliance Power board was clear enough to cause immediate civic posture:
- #1
[HUN]HunnicEmpire-13,945,919,278 - #2
[UNF]UnitedFront-13,039,472,092 - #3
[MMA]Theempire-11,308,267,718 - #6
[HoT]HUNNOTacademy-4,553,077,763
HUN sits on top of the municipal power tower. UNF, a friend of the paper and therefore of civilization, stands close behind with a clipboard and sensible shoes. MMA occupies third place, which is respectable, but the Gazette must report that bronze remains bronze even when polished aggressively in public.
HoT also appears on the board, confirming that HUN's academy wing has now entered the adult paperwork section and should be monitored by anyone who enjoys young institutions discovering spreadsheets.
Kill Ledger: MMA Tops Noise Table As HUN Refuses To Leave Porch
The Alliance Kills table brought a less comfortable but highly publishable development:
- #1
[MMA]Theempire-920,429,596 - #2
[HUN]HunnicEmpire-814,618,980 - #3
[UNF]UnitedFront-632,309,869 - #4
[HoT]HUNNOTacademy-86,818,782
MMA leads the kill ledger, which is the sort of number one writes down while checking whether the windows are locked. HUN remains second and far above the ordinary crowd, close enough that the Gazette classifies the situation as "annoying, serious, and very much not over."
UNF's third place gives the friendly bloc a respectable and possibly well-hydrated presence in the violence accounts. HoT, meanwhile, appears in fourth, which raises the important question of whether academy paperwork should come with helmets.
Nuggy Watch: Two Races, Two Cliffhangers, One Editorial Blood Pressure Spike
Personal Power is currently being treated as a developing civic emergency. [MMA]Esat leads with 407,631,646, while [HUN]Big Chicky Nuggy sits second with 402,106,355.
That is a gap of 5,525,291.
The Gazette refuses to call this a safe lead. This is not a gap; this is a headline with trembling hands. It is close enough for the newsroom to begin using words like "pressure", "sources", and "late-night recalculation" while staring too long at a table.
The Kill Count race is even more indecent. [MMA]Godzilla leads with 104,526,789, while [HUN]Big Chicky Nuggy follows with 103,372,318.
That is a gap of 1,154,471.
In local-paper terms, this is a recount, a sports scandal, a moral parable, and a reason to keep the calculator plugged in. The Gazette understands that Godzilla is technically first. The Gazette also understands that Nuggy is close enough to make first place sleep with one eye open.
Additional note from Public Safety: the previously observed berserk man appears as #6 in Personal Power and #5 in Kill Count. Officials declined to say whether this explains the shouting or merely gives it a committee budget.
Kingdom Of Power: Loss Declared, Receipts Immediately Complicate Narrative
The Kingdom of Power result screen delivered the blunt civic sentence nobody wants printed but every newspaper secretly loves:
Unfortunately, the King's Castle has been occupied by the opposing side. Your kingdom has lost.
The occupying governor was listed as [TNS]Frikiki from Kingdom #1215. The Gazette recognizes this as bad news, international news, architecture news, and an opportunity for several people to suddenly remember they had always warned about something.
But the receipts refused to stay quiet. In Personal Point Ranking, #1171 [HUN]Big Chicky Nuggy stood first with 338,694,133, ahead of #1215 [KDM]Zeke The Öne at 284,495,956 and #1171 [MMA]Big Nick Energy at 255,406,521.
This is the kind of result that lets a paper print the word "failed" while still placing a HUN gold medal directly beneath it in extremely large emotional font.
Then the Alliance Point Ranking arrived and deliberately made the room less comfortable:
- #1
#1215 [KDM]KING...and...QUEEN...-2,651,132,478 - #2
#1215 [TNS]SillyGeese-2,459,389,093 - #3
#1171 [MMA]Theempire-2,191,542,461 - #4
#1171 [HUN]HunnicEmpire-2,110,857,316 - #5
#1171 [UNF]UnitedFront-1,799,514,938
There it is, in the paperwork: two 1215 alliances at the top, MMA third, HUN fourth, and friendly UNF fifth. The Gazette does not enjoy this table. The Gazette respects the table only because numbers are difficult to sue.
A separate Alliance Championship result, found in the same evidence pile and therefore briefly interrogated by the wrong committee, showed #1171[HUN]HunnicEmpire first with 12 points, 10 flags, and 214 defeated. This was not Kingdom of Power paperwork. It was Alliance Championship paperwork, which is exactly the sort of distinction a responsible newspaper discovers after already placing three exclamation marks near the calculator.
It does, however, explain why the newsroom kept trying to print one defeat story and one victory flyer on the same sheet of paper.
The official result may say loss. The Gazette, however, is legally obligated by the laws of tabloid arithmetic to ask why the paperwork contains this much HUN swagger and this much HUN discomfort at the same time. A castle can fall. A headline can still stand on a chair and shout, although it may now be holding a calculator for legal reasons.
Law And Order
One-Soldier Scandal Erupts Into Trench Coat Evidence Hearing
A dispute over whether one soldier mattered became the week's leading legal crisis after Charmander introduced the doctrine with the calm certainty of a judge carved from volcanic rock:
I'm simply completely radical. If something isn't allowed, it's not allowed, and that's it.
The case appeared simple. Then came the boundary warning:
such behavior leads to a slow shift in boundaries... today one soldier and tomorrow only 20...
At this stage the Gazette expected a dry procedural hearing. Instead, the courtroom was shown an illustration so large that several legal experts had to leave the room and reconsider metaphors as a profession:
I like to explain with images, so I'll explain it this way. Imagine there's a guy in a trench coat hanging around outside the school, no pants or underwear. but his hmmm. toe doesn't hang down to his knees but only 1 centimeter.Will you be mad that he showed it or will it be cute because it's only 1 centimeter?
The legal desk has not recovered. Some believe the point concerned slippery slopes. Others believe the point escaped custody and is now living under an assumed name.
Charmander later clarified the method:
only shocking comparisons penetrate your minds... everything else you ridicule
The Gazette therefore recognizes "shocking comparison" as an official teaching tool. Parents, soldiers, and trench coat owners are advised to remain available for follow-up hearings.
An unidentified stern passer-by, described by several civic sources as the Tante Sofie of HUN and #1171, was also observed near the edge of the hearing. The Gazette cannot publish her name, but can confirm that the room immediately felt more supervised. If civilization survives the one-soldier doctrine, it may be because someone in HUN still knows how to stand nearby with the moral posture of a municipal warning sign.
Public Safety
Berserk Man Observed Near Royal Complaint Office
Public Safety opened a special file this week after witnesses reported a local man suffering a full public meltdown while being escorted toward jail by invaders. The incident involved obscenities, battlefield accounting, family-based threats, and enough raw complaint energy to briefly endanger nearby punctuation.
The Gazette has anonymized the report because the material is less "public debate" and more "a man sprinting through the town square carrying six insults, a grievance form, and a small curse for someone's foot."
The anonymous man first opened proceedings with a recall notice of rare civic elegance:
[Name withheld], call your twat waffle back. He should get over himself. I didn't say one bad thing.
This is not merely profanity. It is a diplomatic cable, a personal insult, a public-service announcement, and a sworn statement of innocence forced into one sentence and launched across World Chat without protective eyewear.
The phrase "I didn't say one bad thing" deserves particular scrutiny. It arrives immediately after "twat waffle" with the confidence of a man standing beside a burning mailbox while explaining that mail, as a concept, remains unharmed.
The same resident later submitted a battlefield, custody, and worker-safety complaint:
It's funny how they wanted to victim blame but I didn't say anything until he put me in jail for trying to protect my people and then blocked me from attacking for an hour because he scared.
The sentence ends where all great public complaints end: at "because he scared". The Gazette cannot verify the administrative chain of command, but the emotional paperwork is immaculate and has been forwarded to the Department of Loud Grievances.
In related monarchy coverage, the anonymous man described an unnamed royal figure as:
Biggest loser ass king we've seen.
The monarchy did not respond before deadline, possibly because it was still checking whether the title was hereditary.
The office's services then expanded into personal misfortune:
[Name withheld] to stub your toe.
The toe curse is compact, local, and bureaucratically efficient. It avoids grand mythology and goes straight for household inconvenience. True power does not always need thunder. Sometimes it needs a coffee table in the dark.
Military analysis followed:
Look at that less people and smoked you. Now get lost.
You only won when I had like 300k-400k less troops.
This is battlefield statistics as emotional weather. Victory exists, but only under protest, behind a fence, while a man in the parking lot explains that the numbers were wrong, the conditions were unfair, and everybody else should leave.
Earlier in the week, the same rhetorical weather system passed through a more ominous infrastructure inquiry:
[Name withheld], do they have tall bridges in Poland?
The Gazette is not qualified to interpret this question, but notes that it was followed by immediate discomfort from nearby witnesses. The municipal bridge office has declined comment and is reportedly avoiding eye contact with maps.
A later verified scan expanded the file from ordinary complaint desk business into emergency-blotter material:
[Name withheld], yeah I've seen a lot of chicken shit, cowardly shit in this game but you took the cake.
[Name withheld], scared?
If you're so big and bad
[Name withheld], yeah go ride some more coat tails.
Because you got your goon squad to scared to fight reinforcing you.
[Name withheld] must **** to be poor. Even my farm acct is better than your main.
Because my acct is bigger because my bank acct is bigger because I'm better than your at life.
They all shielded up like your dad should have been when he made you with his sister.
This is not economic theory. It is a man trying to solve class analysis by holding up a farm account and declaring victory over civilization. The Gazette appreciates the ambition. Most people merely insult an enemy. This resident brings poultry, cowardice, goon-squad logistics, accounting, feudal land ownership, and alleged superiority at "life" into the same civic bonfire, then leaves grammar to identify the survivors.
The final verified dispatch was too vulgar to print with names intact, but too historically deranged to ignore:
Then I teleport to [relative withheld]'s house and shoot a load down her throat like your dad should have done with you.
The Gazette has reviewed the source screenshot and regrets to confirm that the sentence exists. This is no longer trash-talk. This is a zoning violation inside language: teleport logistics, family planning, sexual obscenity, and siege confidence welded together by a man who appears to believe punctuation is for smaller kingdoms.
Public Safety has filed the incident under "Berserk Man Observed" and advises citizens to keep windows closed until the rhetoric pressure drops.
Poke Panic Follow-Up: Delivery Times Still Under Review
The Poke Desk was forced into emergency session after reports confirmed that poking, once considered a simple game action, had become diplomacy, threat, flirtation, logistics, military theatre, and public transport.
Following the Page 3 coronation of Big Poker of the Week, investigators turned from ceremony to infrastructure. The phrase "7-10 business days" marks the moment poke logistics entered the postal age. Residents are urged to watch their calendars, doors, alliance members, and emotional boundaries.
The Gazette demands a full review of poke infrastructure before the next public poking wave. Citizens with information about delayed pokes should contact the Poke Desk, preferably from a safe distance.
Agriculture And Animal Affairs
Manure-Shoe Scandal Rocks Local Ethics Community
The Agricultural Desk regrets to report that cattle, manure, footwear, and public conduct again became inseparable this week.
Charmander, continuing her work as the server's most committed barn philosopher, issued several findings:
Have you ever argued with a piece of cow poop?
Cattle are kept in barns and not introduced to people!
next time choose shoes made of manure
Local ethicists have now accepted that in #1171, morality is not merely right or wrong. It is tracked indoors, detected by smell, and occasionally worn on the feet.
The shoe recommendation has opened new possibilities in formalwear for the socially condemned. Retailers declined comment, although one manure-adjacent source described the situation as "developing".
Frog Missing: Authorities Refuse To Confirm Amphibian Status
A possible frog incident briefly interrupted the news cycle when MyQueen HUN asked the question every responsible local paper must be prepared to print above the fold:
What frog? Where?
No frog had been located by press time. The Gazette considers this unacceptable. Residents are asked to check ponds, robe hems, suspicious puddles, and any area where a frog could plausibly be hiding from follow-up questions.
The investigation remains open.
Chlorine Crisis: Eyes Compared To Brake Lights, Veterinary Option Not Ruled Out
In health news, Charmander warned residents to exit the pool after observing symptoms that began with chlorine and ended somewhere between traffic equipment and aquarium control.
but get out of the pool... the chlorine burns your eyes... They look like brake lights now
you look like an angry piranha
but a vet would also be useful...
The Gazette is treating this as a multi-agency emergency involving medicine, road safety, pool chemistry, fish behavior, and possible veterinary escalation. Residents are reminded that if your eyes resemble brake lights, you should stop swimming, avoid piranha comparisons, and consult whichever professional is least alarmed when you explain the situation.
Culture
Handsome Governor Mistaken For Drunken Bard In Burning-Bed Incident
The Culture Desk has reduced this week's longest identity hearing to its useful facts: a handsome HUN governor wandered into World Chat with musical timing, polite menace, and the air of a man briefly mistaken for a drunken bard by the municipal imagination.
No breathalyzer was filed. The evidence was lyrical.
Can't sleep cause my bed's on fire
The Gazette reads this as a simple cultural intervention: if the bed is on fire, perhaps step away from the bed. Charmander heard something closer to a constitutional threat.
Do you seriously think you can scare me into hiding? Better people than you have tried...
The governor then supplied the closing formula, anonymized here for the protection of public dignity:
Love and kisses from [a distinguished HUN governor]
Charmander, confronted with this small bouquet of civic theater, turned the cameo into a full identity fog:
This [distinguished HUN gentleman] or whatever his name is... I don't even know him and I've never had anything against him... I think he's some kind of idiot... I seriously have no idea what to say
Her wider legal theory then arrived, dragging public speech, screenshots, and accountability into the same witness box:
someone publishes my words, so they are violating my rights and then they say they will hold me accountable
The Gazette's ruling is narrow. The governor did not escalate the argument. He gave the argument exit music. Whether that makes him a statesman, a bard, or merely a handsome man with excellent timing remains a matter for Culture, not Law.
Tortilla Purity Crisis: Onion, Chocolate, Pineapple And Watermelon Named In Inquiry
While others debated war, law, manure, and custody, Ajolote brought the server a quieter but no less severe cultural scandal: what may legally be placed in or near a tortilla.
The doctrine was stated with magnificent clarity:
La tortilla es SIN cebolla!!!!!
From there, the debate expanded into pizza heresy:
PINEAPPLES ON PIZZA
And then reached full theological alarm:
piña si sandía no que locura piña!?!!?!?! que clase de sacrilegio es ese?????
Translated loosely by the Gazette's underfunded Food Desk: pineapple may be controversial, watermelon appears to be a frontier too far, and sacrilege has entered the kitchen wearing oven mitts.
Additional testimony included:
con un poco de chocolate para contrarrestar lo salado
The Gazette cannot endorse chocolate as a salt countermeasure without further study. We can, however, confirm that dinner has once again become a constitutional question.
Society
Nuggy Annex Draws Fresh Recruits As Butter And Harem Concerns Surface
The Nuggy Desk reports steady activity after several citizens discussed the availability, legality, and composition of nuggies. What began as snack talk quickly became a broader social inquiry involving innocence, butter, harem formation, and non-chicky supply chains.
mini miso stated:
Im not sure im allowed to eat nuggies bc.. you know
Twilight Daddy offered reassurance from the non-chicky sector:
They're made with non chicky stuff
The Gazette has not independently verified the non-chicky claim. Elsewhere, free nuggies were advertised, harem concerns were raised, and at least one citizen requested bleach for innocent eyes. Officials have not ruled out a snack hearing.
Opinion
Editorial: Every Small Scandal Deserves A Large Headline
World Chat moves too quickly for memory and too slowly for sanity. A scandal enters as a one-troop poke, becomes a trench coat parable, passes through manure footwear, is reviewed by a veterinary pool committee, and ends as a two-week weather event.
The Gazette rejects the outdated idea that some stories are small. A missing frog is a public trust issue. A poke is a logistics crisis. A tortilla is a cultural battlefield. A manure shoe is consumer affairs. A castle battle is, of course, a castle battle, but it does not outrank the frog merely because it has walls.
Without a newspaper, these civic treasures would disappear. With a newspaper, they can be preserved, misinterpreted, overinterpreted, and placed beneath headlines they never asked for.
That is the mission of the 1171 Weekly Gazette: to treat every castle battle, food argument, animal sighting, and chat meltdown with the seriousness of a town council meeting held during a fireworks accident.
Get To Know The Governor
This Week: The Column Opens Its Notebook And Behaves Itself
The Gazette is proud to announce a new recurring social column: Get To Know The Governor, a weekly attempt to discover whether the people behind the rallies, pokes, rankings, and alarming food opinions are in fact human beings with lives, habits, hobbies, complaints, pets, dinner plans, or suspiciously strong feelings about lawn furniture.
The column will draw from voluntary Alliance Chat material, direct submissions, and comments clearly offered for civic publication. Because Alliance Chat is not World Chat, the Gazette will not simply drag private remarks into the town square and call it journalism. That would be improper, lazy, and far too modern.
Instead, future editions will feature one randomly selected or self-nominated governor in a short local-paper profile. Names may be anonymized. Details may be softened. Personal information will be treated as if it is wearing a small hat and deserves not to be stepped on.
Typical subjects may include: a governor who revealed a hobby, confessed to a household disaster, mentioned a pet, described a workday, admitted an unusual snack habit, or otherwise allowed the newsroom to conclude that beneath the armor there may be a person trying to remember where the charger went.
The Gazette therefore invites future sources to submit harmless biographical fragments, preferably the sort of detail that can survive being written up with unearned seriousness. The ideal Get To Know The Governor item should make readers say, "I did not need to know that, but I am strangely glad the local paper investigated."

Quote Of The Week
no foreign enemy has the right to burn you.
The Gazette awards Quote of the Week to this rare example of protective hostility. It says, in one sentence, what lesser civilizations require treaties, flags, committees, several expensive statues, and at least one televised hearing to communicate: we may be enemies, but please use the proper local channels.
