In a counter to Tahoe's move on the Entertainment Sector.. the Dragon Empire Entertainment sector.. known among economists as "DragonFire Entertainment" hereby announces the release of "World of DragonCraft". An intense third/first person MMORPG with massive depth. It is expected to consume the souls of million of gamers world wide for the presses of Dragon Imperial industry. When asked to comment about this the Chairman responded with a shiver and made the sign of the cross and turned away, "What have we done?!" He was then said to have gone away lamenting and weeping talking of getting a flail to purge his sins now..

OOC: and so it begins...



EDIT: FIRST!!!!!?!?!!1!1ononononeoneoneoneone

A strange counter game called Guildpunch has also been released.

How to play:

Make a guild

Punch someone

?????

profit

For the sake of productivity, a law was passed in Wanatet that made it illegal to play MMORPGs for over 3 hours per workday or 4.5 hours per nonworkday.

Baggs mutters to himself, "Damn dirty, muhmohpegers, wasting all my dirty time... Alright, thirty more minutes, and that's it..."

The MMORPG, Guild Wars, who is five years of graphics and gameplay ahead of World of Gaycraft (as it is commonly called in the Western Republic), has already sold 24 million copies over the last six months.

The same 0.2% of Franzharians who own computers buying Starcraft will probably buy this too. Or, the Dragon Empire could start selling more computers to a market that needs them.

(OOC: #6: Double Profit! )

OOC: LOL! Sargun...

IC: World of DragonCraft has been banned in Byzantium because they would lead to the decrease of overall productivity, among with other factors that we wouldn't even comprehend. As such, violators (anyone found possessing the game) shall be shot.

Additionally! DragonFire Entertainment announces the immintent opening of Beta on its browser game "Cyberstates!" Where each citizen of the empire can sign up and play their own nations as if they really had some form of control over the world! It's expected to be a hit that will draw thousands to millions of players daily and will be interpreted into many different languages!

ooc: *Evil Grin*

OOC: Lulz, I believe Ned the Great already beat you to it a long tiem ago...

The Wanatet Corporation notes this copyright violation, realizing that "CyberStates!" closely resembles "CyberCorporations!"

As a result, Corporation workers are attempting to takeover CyberStates! and merge the two games.

OOC: FACEPALM, is the only way I can describe GayCraft. That, and Kevin should sue you for copying his game idea. :angry:

Marscurian police forces have raided all stores selling the game and have destroyed every disc after 3 people were found dead from exhaustion after playing nonstop for several days. All citizens who have played the game have had their discs smashed, hard drives wiped clean, and have been sent to government detention centers where they have been introduced to the government sponsored LARP "World of Improve our economycraft." Here, people get to role play factory workers making products for the country.

The Wantenet workers would note there is something going on with the Dragon Empire capital markets that is driving the price of the company up higher and higher even as they attempt to acquire more......

OOC: Is this a reportable offense?

President Song Lee officially removes the anti-intellectual property piracy laws and says, "Let no man, woman, or child pay more than a won or two for this tripe."

In other news..

Boomtown to host the 1st Annual World of Dragonfire Convention. It is hoped this convention will result in no injuries as the last convention held in Boomtown ended up breaking up early dude to .50 caliber weapons fire.

Not wanting to fall behind this latest trend of video game releases, Rebel Virginia Video Game Corporation announced earlier today the release of Pong. Come and get your Pong today. We are expecting it to sell out fast.

It is reported that the Chairman and his wife have purchased Pong!

Boomtownian copywrite piraters undercut Rebel Virgina's Pong sales with thousands of cheaper copies of a more stimulating game called, "Missile Command".

The chairman was not seen for many hours after acquiring this one for his library.. rumor is that Megan Fox was temporarily appointed commander and chief.. he was that intoxicated. The Chairman stated later, "I don't like this game. I'd rather be the one firing the missiles."

Bah! It shall never get past our Magicscape, a free MMO and over 30 milion free acounts.

We have a similar MMO called "City of Weirdos" where the players put on tights and beat each other up using weird abilities.

The Imperium has a similar game entitled "Left for Dead", in which survivors attempt to pit their skills against a post-plague environment in the Southern Imperium. It's based off of a training program for the military.

New from [Place omitted for Public Safety], the greatest MMORPG ever. Fantastic graphics, 6.5 billion users, and growing, so real you can feel the wind, and the objects around you, and requires next to no computing power to run.
What's it called you ask?

Reality

BUY NOW

OOC:

The emperor himself has purchased pong! and is reported to be enjoying it far more than many of the other recent releases. So much so that he has awarded Pong! the game of the year award.

If the citizens of Procinctia were aware of the recent surge of games, they would lament their bunkers’ lack of modern computers and Internet access.

Shillan gamers looked at "World of Dragoncraft" for about all of five seconds before resuming their StarCraft matches.

Not to be bested, IndoChinese software developer Unisoft has released the game CGIs, a strategic life simulation game.
