Media War

Well, after one year of owning and controlling the Vampire News Network (VNN for short) it seems as though it is about to be taken from me. Gorthar, the orginal owner of VNN, has decided that he wants his newspaper back. Well, guess what, I'm not gonna hand it over without a fight. My staff and myself have worked very hard over the past year to create a respectable newspaper together. However, just within the past few days that Gorthar has had "control" of VNN, he has taken the name that was worked on so hard and tarnished it. To him, the news is nothing more than a free venting place. It is more than that.

This news network will not be going anywhere, and will not have it's named ruined by some lousy two-bit hack. The most prominent members of our staff have returned, Charish and PersonMan, heeding the calls of our colleagues:
ophelia: "I miss charish and her VNN"
Shadowbat: "Personally, I will not read a VNN not written by charish and her staff"
Touched by the public's enthusiasm, expect to find a new issue of VNN on your doorstep each morning.

Currently here at VNN, there are talks of merging with Mooncalf's Raven Times. We are still in early stages of negotations. So far nothing has been set in stone, but I do believe that this merger will happen. I will keep all updated concerning this matter.

We apologize for the inconvenience of not having a paper to go with your morning blood run, thank you all for reading!

City Wide Lottery

Valadon will be soon be departing from RavenBlack City forever. He has found better things beyond the bounds that held him here. However, before he says his final farewell, he would like to give everyone within RavenBlack City, a chance to win the fortune he has amassed here. The current jackpot is at one million coins. Any citizen can purchase a ticket for this lottery for the cost of 1,000 coins. All ticket sales must be confirmed via Y!M, otherwise any coins just dropped off with Valadon, only serve to make him a bit richer before he goes. The drawing will take place on Tuesday, March 16. Good luck to all who enter. For more in depth details about this event please visit The Abyss.

More Corpses to Add to the Pile

Seems as though the Shadow Court is back to doing what it does best, delivering dead bodies. Since the fall of Capadocious, bodies have been being piled up on the steps outside of the Capadocian Keep. The vampire Kaiser was the most recent corpse added to the pile. The Shadow Court plans to continue its decemation of Clan Capadocious. And if they keep it up, there won't be any Capadocian Clan for Cap to return to.

The Empire's Grand Ball

Empress Creperum has announced that her clan will be holding a Ball, free for anyone to attend. The event is in honor of her choosing a new Emperor, who is to be announced some time during the night of the Ball. It will be held March 17, 2004 in the mIRC channel #ravenblack port 6667 (irc.webmaster.com). Formal wear is required, so dress fancy, I know you're all thinking it, no, no goloshes will be permitted. I know, I know, it just isn't fair, but rules are rules. Members of The Empire are available with instructions on how to get there if you're not exactly sure, so contact one of them if you like. The Empress can be reached on Yahoo! Messenger: silver_prelude We all hope to see you there, and congradulations on your choice Empress.

Attention Clans!

The Sun Clan is compiling a list of all active clans in the city, and requests that all clans just send them "their website, a brief description, and a listing of their leaders." They don't want any undisclosed information, just everything that's already available to the general public. This data should be sent to Medea, who can be reached through Medea_del_Sol@yahoo.com.

Clan listings have become rather scattered, partially to be blamed on... well... us for not keeping our clan page to date. The Sun Clan is requesting this to improve inter-clan relations, and presumably this information will also be made available to the public. In any case, you can also send the information to us here at VNN through vnn@godisdead.com. Thank you clan leaders, and representative clan members alike.
