THE BUZZ: NEW YEAR PREDICTIONS
Mystery NewsDroid
Ahh the holidays! There is nothing like getting your joints oiled and kicking back and relaxing with friends and family. Downtime is a great thing and we should have more of it!!
Since it's the first Chronicle of the New Year, it seems only fitting that there are some predictions given. Having received a new card game for Christmas where one can draw up to 5 cards with words printed on them and make them into a headline, it was decided that this could be as effective as a crystal ball. So hang on for MysteryNewsDroids New Year Predictions!!
EXCLUSIVE! Romantic Blind First Lady Snubs President!!
Hmm… What could this possibly mean? There are many First Ladies or Duchesses in the multiverse and most of their heads are turned by a romantic gentleman. And remember, love is blind…. Aha! This must be about Duchesse Urissa and the former Duke Chamberlain. (In Earth history I'm sure that Chamberlain would've loved to be president!!) This explains everything!! Duchesse Urissa must have snubbed Chamberlain causing him to fiddle with his suicide triggers. Unfortunately, the triggers got the best of Chamberlain and he's working his way back to Duke! MAYBE she will understand the consequences of snubbing in the future!!
Navy Reveals Bite Burns!!
Well! This could be a little harder to figure out. Navy… Imperial Navy… Fighters. OH! I've got it! Both Seaurchin and Racingnut were found dead-dead in their fighters this week. Maybe the cloners got rid of the bite burns? But what could've caused such a wound? Holy Shaazam, it must be the Martian Invasion! Look out multiverse, they must be -finally- coming.
Crazy Intern Falls for Jewels
Jewels could only mean one thing - Madonnaboi is back with his jewel encrusted wonder bra! The intern is none other than Treize. Madonnaboi and Treize were recently added to the list of firsts of Federation II when they were married on the sun.
Lost Girl Decides Fate
This one is easy to figure out. Another Federation II story, this one stars everyone's favorite fedgirl Xyli. Rumor has it that since the ship buying procedure has changed in the new world that Xyli became lost on her way to get her ship buyers permit. Utterly frustrated, Xyli has determined to remain Fed II's only groundhog!
Dog Bites Self in Despair
The WoLfPaCk Duke has been very despondent lately over a certain missing in action Duchesse. Orders came in recently to have the Duke recloned. Apparently playing with his Arix, Greyspacewolf reinsured 3 times in the same night overextending himself with his insurance agents and causing the cloning team to go on strike. Only fear of the wrath of Faolan kept the wolf from double slashing. Thank goodness for Faolan!!
Harrumph, these weren't predictions at all. Well, maybe they could've been… Had they been delivered on the first day of the New Year! At any rate, here's hoping your holidays were all they could be and best of wishes for the year to come!
Best Clothes in Fed Contest
Only one entry has been received. Does this mean that it's the winner? You be the judge! Can YOU do better than this?

Jazir's spaceship deftly parallel parks itself into a pew
Treize's spaceship ponders that.
Blaze says, "Scary"
Madonnaboi says, "we'll place them on the fuel rods"

Treize's spaceship rocks gently as Treize kicks the spare tire off the back of the ship, and attaches it to the fuel rod.
Phedre says, "oh dear"
Treize says, "Okay, there's one ring."
Jazir's spaceship laughs
Shaner's spaceship watches the tire melt
Blaze says, "Ok I have a plan for the rings"

STRIKE CRIPPLES GALAXY
by Fortex
Earth (A few minutes from now) - The spaceways ground to a halt over the holidays as Jarrow Shipping, Ltd. suffered a strike by its human and robot labourers. All sales, repairs and refueling were suspended by Jarrow Management in response to the lack of workers. A sympathy strike by the Government Workers Union has halted all official activity, including the issuance of piloting permits, permits which are little more than wallpaper until the Jarrow strike is settled. Robert J. Blodginger III, CEO of Jarrow Shipping, summed up the company's situation, "we are absolutely closed until the workers return. Strikers have made it impossible to find replacement workers and our thin management team is only sufficient to maintain emergency and military deliveries of ships and fuel."
Percival Debs of the Shipbuilders and Allied Trades Union (SATU) held a press conference to fend off allegations that the strike was dangerous and threatened the stability of the galactic economy. "Our actions are not only justified, but necessary given the reprehensible treatment our members suffer at the hands of corporate management. The greatest danger to the galaxy is not labour action, but corporate greed and the steady erosion of labour safeguards."
As if the combined strikes were not devastating enough, the galactic mercantile market suffered a catastrophic computer failure, rendering all trade services inoperative. Fault for the market failure is being blamed on HackFree, a faction of insurgent cyber terrorists, who have taken advantage of the chaotic situation to forward their agenda.
A note sent to the Chronicle and attributed to HackFree stated, "The liberation of the mind from the strictures of galactic imperialism has begun. We will unite all those who seek to overturn the oppressions of the past and fire our revolution with the splintered kindling of capitalism!"
For a brief period the same HackFree criminals interrupted galactic communications. The swift actions of military and civil technicians were able to stem wider outages and basic communications were restored quickly, although some services are expected to be down for some time.
Imperial officials are rumoured to be considering the imposition of martial law to force the strikers back to work and attempt to quell HackFree, but the surprising calm across the galaxy, and the apparently well-stocked larders of restaurants and bars, has meant there is very little public outcry against the workers.
Most citizens responded when asked about the last couple weeks that they felt the situation was steadily improving and life would soon return to normal. One military official who wished to remain anonymous said, "Citizens have been really understanding, we're not seeing a lot of trouble. Most people are just quietly waiting this thing out. We hope the progress we've made so far to restore order will only increase their confidence in our ability to bring this to a speedy conclusion."
DEAR BUBBA: NEW FED
(Advice For The Lovelorn And Other Sage Bits Of Wisdom)
By Bubba Beeblebrox
Dear Bubba,
This is so unfair! I worked and worked to get to where I am at, in Fed today, and now I hear that there is going to be a NEW Fed, and I have to start all over? What are they thinking?
Signed,
Distraught Player
Dear Distraught,
I know, I know... this is so untimely! Just imagine... all those macros you worked so hard, to jolly out of other players... those trading programs you conned out of their writers... those databases you wheedled from those that worked so hard to populate... all that now worthless!! Imagine the utter gall of IBGames, to actually make a newer, better Fed! Egads! You may actually have to work (let's say it softly) and play the game, as it was meant to be played... silly! Makes life not even worth living, I say... Let's make a suicide pact, right now. I will go, right after you do...
Signed, Bubba
ALSATIAN'S PLANET REVIEW: THE DISAPPEARING PLANET
By Fed's Canine Rabid Reporter, Occasional Planet Reviewer, Permanent Resident of the Doghouse, and Purveyor of New Fed Rumors
Being the proud product of generations of hasty unplanned dog sex that I am, I take my sacred duties of laying about anyplace food might be dropped, creating muddy paw pad artwork, and watering any tree or bush that doesn't need it very seriously.
Oh yeah, there's also planet reviews. Last week a request was dropped in my box to review a planet. I extracted a few stray fleas from the old antigrammar bag and headed off to start the inspection.
By the time I maneuvered my ship out of dry dock, ate a few meals to sustain me through the explorations, chased the cat out of my cargo hold, and checked in Fed II to see if anyone had moved into my doghouse, the planet had disappeared.
I've grown accustomed to planet owners going poof after a review, but seldom have I inspired sufficient terror in a potential reviewee to cause them to turn their planet over to Ming before the article and start over as a Groundhog.
Racingnut tried to assure me via email that his sudden demise was accidental and his planet would be back soon for inspection, but I think I'll sit pretty and beg him to say it was the pressure of anticipating my visit. I might enjoy this new reputation!
THE BUZZ: HAZED'S CANINE WOES
Mystery NewsDroid
212933:047 - Rasal: Trend of the day: Appears to be a bizzare need to create alts to post cryptic messages before being sent to the nether regions via suicide. Tune in to tomorrow's episode of "As the Fed Churns" for the exciting conclusion.
212933:049 - Wolfyn: Obsessive: Someone who brings in groundhogs just to make pointless posts.
212933:099 - Mashimaro: Redundancy:an act or instance of needless repetition, or making 2 posts about essentially the same thing in hopes of gleaming a cookie...here ya go you two ::hands out cookies:::
Hazed has been seen in despair over the amount of wolf and dog types in Federation II. Word has it that whenever she pops into a new place she is immediately jumped and slobbered. Apparently she's been slobbered once too often, for when GreySpaceWolf found the Demi-Goddess and nosed her hand for affection she recoiled in horror and called for a cleaner.
Speaking of cleaners, have you seen a cleaner in the new mulitiverse? Rumors abound that they are currently on strike looking for a new pay structure. Or mayhap it’s from having to clean up from all the wolf and dog types!
The construction of Diesels came to a grinding halt this week. This may have been caused by the joyous return of the fabulous Madonnaboi and his sparkling stilettos. Worker droids can be seen following the diva about with their tongues hanging out of their mouth. Felina’s whip has been commissioned for whipping the droids back into business, but so far the reward seems to outweigh the punishment.
News has surfaced that Federation Events could be fixed. There is word that a new kingpin has fighters or quizzers throw their rounds for big bonuses. The conspiracy theorists are pointing fingers that the crowned champions are not champions at all and rematches and league standings are now being evaluated.
Malikmalik has been seen winning at the Sol Casino. This is quite an issue for concern as Malik has NEVER won. The grounds are being searched as well as Malik’s body for magnets that are affecting the roulette wheels.
“Methinks thou doest protest too strongly…”
212929:684 - Urissa: One would wonder where the Buzz gets it's information. Snubbing, I don't think so. Get your facts straight before you publish something that's not true. *Chamberlain* You're doing wonderful baby. :-)
212929:756 - Mashimaro: struck a nerve eh Urissa? Not to worry that’s why it's the gossip column, no responsibility needed for random "gossip" ;-)
Hmm... Proof that people do read the Buzz!! One wonders from the above post when or if Chamberlain wasn’t doing wonderfully! At any rate, the multiverse is a haven of free speech, makes it a great universe to live in. And for the record, sources are -always- protected!

DEAR BUBBA: MUTUAL TRADING PACT
(Advice For The Lovelorn And Other Sage Bits Of Wisdom)
By Bubba Beeblebrox
Dear Bubba,
My friend and I made an agreement to trade to/from each other’s planets, before trading to others. Now, I have discovered that he has been trading to some newbie floozie’s planet, to get into her good graces. Should I stop hauling to His planet?
Signed, Steaming Around the Galaxy
Dear Streaming,
Your big mistake was in making such an agreement, in the first place. Don’t you realize that the whole idea is to develop your planet faster than ALL the others, and be damned who gets left behind? Here’s what you do... tune to channel 9. Then, simply say this: “macros”... after that, just sit back and field all the tight beam messages that will inevitably come in. Before you know it, you too will be macro-managing your planet with the best of them, and your planet will grow faster than you can blink your eyes (‘eye’, for you natives of Caleb IV). That is, unless the stevedores decide to take breaks every 5 minutes (mutters)…
Love,
Bubba
THE BUZZ: WHERE IS CZARINA?
Mystery NewsDroid
The still missing Czarina has driven the WoLfPaCk Duke over the edge. Since the vanishing of the Duchess, who GreySpaceWolf spends most of his time trying to keep in line, the Duke has taken to causing distractions of his own. Apparently he visits bedrooms across the galaxy and initiates pajama parties. Much to his chagrin, Moonus often appears off balancing the ratio of boys to girls (all girls but the Duke). Fortunately for Moonus, Duke Greyspacewolf's harem is very generous, sharing the Duke with Moonus when he appears. Now if only the Wolf would learn to share in return!
Tragedy hit Fed II recently with the addition of the ability to commit suicide. From what this reporter hears, all hauling came to a screeching halt as every race pulled out their poison pills and snuffed themselves. There was quite a rush on the fledging cloning facilities, which were quickly overloaded, and understaffed insurance agents had problems trying to hanld the strain. Unfortunately the wait was too much to handle leading to several DDs. At one count, there were 15 DDs in Fed II in a matter of hours.
Fortune Cookie Message of the Week: Beware the return of the Dragon.
Menu Item of the Week: Stewed Bunny (Note: Maybe Mashimaro has stirred up too much trouble and landed in a pot of hot water? Just add vegetables!)

DEAR BUBBA: ATTRACTING THAT DREAM GIRL
(Advice For The Lovelorn And Other Sage Bits Of Wisdom)
By Bubba Beeblebrox
Dear Bubba,
I have been trying to catch the attention of the girl of my dreams for some time now. I have tried giving her gifts (including groats), composing poetry to her, and singing to her on public channels... all to no avail. What should I do?
Signed,
Victim of Unrequited Love
Dear Victim,
Easy as pie! Here's what you do. Give her 6 megs, trundle her off to Chez Diesel, and let a professional show her a good time. She will certainly remember you in a better light, long afterwards. (But prepared for repeated requests for a repeat performance!)
Love,

ALSATIAN'S INSTRUCTIONS ON PLANET REVIEWS
by Fed's Canine Rabid Reporter, Occasional Planet Reviewer, and Permanent Resident of the Doghouse
While sniffing out last week's planet for review the following message crackled over my comm unit:
Your comm unit signals a tight beam message from Someanonymoussquire, "how come I havnt got a walrus for my planet."
>spynet report Someanonymoussquire
SPYNET REPORT: Subject Someanonymoussquire
Rank: Squire Reward posted: 1
Overlord of Someanonymousplanet
Currently in Someanonymousplanet system
>tb Someanonymoussquire Because I've never been there?
Your comm unit signals a tight beam message from Someanonymoussquire, "yes u did when it first onlined"
>tb Someanonymoussquire No, sorry – that was Ashkellion with the new planet announcements.
Your comm unit signals a tight beam message from Someanonymoussquire, "so why u not been here"
>tb Someanonymoussquire Because you haven't asked me?
Your comm unit signals a tight beam message from Someanonymoussquire, "oh. u can come but its not finished yet"
>tb Someanonymoussquire I'm sorry, the party you are trying to reach has gone back to the doghouse for another nap. Please try again later.
Shortly after that Hazed tight beamed me with a whap across the snout for putting in an answering machine to screen comm calls. If she finds out about the spam filter I've got going that tosses every email with the words Planet or Review in it I'm afraid my lazy days will become numbered. Idle paws always turn to mischief in order to insure they stay as idle as possible.
Just in case Someanonymoussquire sends another complaint to Feedback I thought I'd cover my a… I mean explain what happens when a planet owner requests a review and what I look for in a planet design.
First of all, you don't get your planet formally reviewed unless you ask for it. That protects me from any liability resulting from planetary damage when I tour. Trees usually don't mind the extra attention when this canine visits a planet, but some of the more delicate foliage may not survive my ministrations. The way to request a planet review is to send an email to feedback@ibgames.com. Eventually, after being passed around among the staff, used to light small fires, prevent water rings on tables, and uses I suspect are normally confined to the loo, it will get to me.
Once your request passes my spam filter I'll send you back a confirmation email. One of the most important things you'll find in that letter is:
Please remember, if your planet has been reviewed in the past by Icedrake, that would have counted as your one formal review and this pup may not be able to give you another. Your planet gets one and only one formal review - so dust off the grammar and leave the bribes where I can find them!
Now that you know about the bribes you might also want to pay attention to the one and only one formal review part. Usually you only get one shot at winning a Walrus or Carpenter award, so make sure your planet is finished before you submit it for inspection.
The next step is you wait while I hastily amend my calendar to make sure all kinds of important stuff comes up before I have to start reviewing. I'm only half joking with that statement – sometimes things do come up that keep me from devoting the time I should to your creation, and if that happens it could be several weeks before I finish the review. Usually I walk through your planet in several phases over several days. Once you've submitted your planet please don't make major changes until the review is actually published! Unless the review queue is especially large I try to submit an article every other week to the Chronicle.
Even if you're not in the market for a Walrus or Carpenter, a formal review is still one way of bringing attention – and maybe some stray tourists – to your planet!
The first thing I start looking for in a planet design is a theme and a story. A really good planet makes me put down my notebook, forget I'm on the other side of a computer screen, and has me drooling in anticipation of the location around the next corner. Mansions and hot tubs are nice little perks of being a planet owner but can be distracting to an explorer if they're not designed into the overall theme of the planet. Even exchanges and hospitals can be worked into a story. Some of the best planets weave in all the elements required of a functional planet while still preserving the ‘feel' of the planet's theme. The Advanced Guide to Federation gives some very good pointers on planetary design.
When you settle on a theme for your planet, consider your audience. Should you decide you absolutely must design the planet around some obscure subject, you may have immediately restricted your pool of admirers to a very few obscure tourists. Perhaps that's exactly what you want in your planet, and some of your audience may really appreciate your efforts, but this reviewer may not know what the blazes you are rambling on about. I may have some enhanced intelligence, but the origin of my transplanted brain is still suspect.
Probably the worst thing I've seen in a planet is to stumble across locations that say ‘Under Construction.' I don't bring a hardhat with me so please make sure you're finished by the time you request a review. And since we exist in a text-based game – text counts. That means you need to make sure your planet has had a thorough walkthrough and you've taken care of all those pesky grammar and spelling errors. There's nothing that can halt a nice little imaginary visualization like stumbling over a word that can't be deciphered without several inspections. That's just the way it is folks, you're not painting a planet, you're writing one. If you're leery of missing errors in your text just ask on channel 9. DataSpace is full of critics. Make sure you have all your movement errors taken care of too – Hazed keeps my nose sore enough from all her whappings without having to mash it into a wall that shouldn't be there.
The Walrus of Merit Award is bestowed on a planet that the reviewer considers exceptional. Carpenter awards are given to planets that aren't quite up to Walrus standards, but are still worth checking out. What defines where this canine drops a Walrus or Carpenter? This is the part I really like – it is purely subjective. When people ask why a planet didn't get an award there's not always a quick answer – but there's always an answer to why another did! And no, it's not the kibble bribes, but rather that there was something unique and fascinating enough to capture the imagination and make exploring an enthralling experience!
