Turf Tales News: Issue 17
Catching Up on the Last 3 Months:
Close to 3 months ago, this publication reported on the final days of the Witching Hour War. While Groucho and a handful of his former Commission (TC) members may continue to fight in small scale skirmishes in specific geographic areas, the world wide conflict which pitted some of the games largest alliances against each other has slowly faded away.
The aftermath of the Witching Hour War has seen a continuation of a trend that has become more pronounced over the last year – the consolidation of power. Some of the established alliances, such as CAPO and STARS, saw their ranks grow as new relationships and bonds were built in the war against TC. Large mob and high profile players such as Big Jake, Sinister Vtech, Gman, Taz, Fluffy Kitten and Baptist would find new homes during the Witching Hour War within these alliances.

As the war drew to a close, the obvious question began to materialize: Where would the former TC members end up? While early indications pointed to the formation of a new alliance with a new leadership, this concept would eventually fizzle out. Instead, many of the former TC members would end up moving in different directions. Some players, frustrated that they were still being capped, would retag and continue on the gruelling fight. A handful of players have quit the game, choosing retirement for the time being. Conversely, some of the best and most experienced fighters from the TC alliance have already found new homes. The big winners thus far have been the NGC and NWR alliances who have skimmed the players of their choice and fit, adding depth and experience to their ranks.
-
The last year has seen a lot of change in the game. TWFC, CMS, Happy Hitmen, Madfam, and now The Commission have all ceased to exist. It is hard to predict what the future of TW is. It is refreshing to see new alliances, such as Justice League and Xmen coming together as a place for new players to make friends, build relationships, and learn the game.
A number of players have asked me about the status of the TTNews. Approximately 2 months ago the news was put on hold. The reality is there really was nothing to report. As always, the door remains open. Got a story? Contact me. Want to write? Contact me. Want to run the show? Contact me.
Kinghod Joins STARS alliance
A silent but deadly force has earned his stars. Kinghod is a top mob leaderboard player (73,300) with 13k brens who previously fought under the TWFC banner. While Kinghod has been a quiet presence in the game since leaving TWFC, he is looking forward to making a return to a fighting alliance. Congrats to both the STARS and Kinghod.

Justice League Kicks member “Cyborg”
Outspoken member of the Justice League alliance, “Cyborg”, has been kicked out and banned from all JL rooms. While details of the falling out remains fuzzy, early indications point to a power struggle between Cyborg and JL leadership. Earlier this month, Cyborg reportedly demanded increased power and authority within the alliance. As an already contentious and disliked player within the TW community, JL leadership was hesitant to increase his stature and denied the request. In other news, Cyborg is now available for recruitment.

[Turf Tales News Room] – elect your next admin
Back in 2013 when the TTNews was launched, a palringo room called [Turf Tales News Room] was also started. What started as just a handful of chatters has grown to over 280 members and is now the largest TW related palringo room. It is a great place to chat, make friends and meet some veteran players.
Since day 1, only writers for the TTNews have been given a Moderator or Administrator status in the room. This was done to try to maintain neutrality of the TTNews by not favoring any one group or alliance. It has come to my attention, however, that the addition of 1 or 2 mods / admins is required given the size and volume of chat in the room.
-
Why does it matter? Well, the TTNews room is a public place. Since it’s existence there have been some very significant discussions and arguments. Anyone interested in receiving a Mod should strive to cultivate these discussions – not squash them. The ideal candidate would be an established player with name recognition and someone who has a very consistent Pal presence.
Here is where you come in. The TTNews would like the communities opinion on who the new moderators should be. Please nominate yourself or the player of your choice by replying to this thread or by PM to me. Over the next week I will post the nominations and have a vote. The two players with the most votes will receive the moderator spots.
Thanks for reading

A nice Sunday morning surprise, thanks Fallacy!

The mention is much appreciated, thanks 👍 always nice to have someone that knows what's going on around the world.
I do think it's unfortunate that the major alliance wars are settling down, as that'd be a fantastic fight to continue to watch grow. It was for while it lasted for sure! Personally I wish there was more of an effort by certain top mobbed players to initiate these wars, but I suppose it's not everyone's play style to do so.
I can't say I didn't see the JL troubles coming from the beginning though. Those guys are a rather brutal bunch, whether on the map or through PM.
