All the while sprinkling the occasional cover of serious topics to legitimize their claim to being a serious news outlet.With this in mind, the more learned reader might be inclined to take everything they read here with a healthy dose of skepticism.Additionally, we'd like to make perfectly clear that anything published in this newspaper is strictly IC and by no means reflects the opinions of the OOC writers.OOC we try as best as humanly possible to remain impartial.

We aim to spice up RP, incentivise interaction and breathe more life into the RP community. We therefore ask all readers to not take this too seriously and enjoy it for the harmless fun it is.
