When i started playing megamech a couple years ago with 46.0, i asked about the news events that prompt (and learned about the Universe file, the best program used to edit it, etc) during daily events. Since that time... i've gone through all of my Jihad source books and added as much content as i could (examples below)

<newsItem>

Now as the topic header suggests, not a lot seems to happen in 3067 in The News. On the basic default version of Newsfile, i added first what official occurrences was noted in official source books (either in the Jihad style or as best be typed from previous before Catalyst source books like The two Operation: and FCCW Sourcebooks, specifically but also the various FMs) plus entries from BT Wiki's 3067 page (examples below)

<newsItem>

So my request task to you, the reader, is simple:

I would like some fluffy, maybe short, maybe long, REACTION commentary to the End of the FCCW. Anything from the end of April until maybe Sept (as there is already enough going on from the Jihad Sourcebooks as is)

Mods: If this would be more appropriate to Megamech's child page, you may move it, if required. Derpy.
Even my Page posting rate is better than my KPD rate IG...

I guess, maybe if i start... perhaps ideas will come forth? (I liberally plagiarized from a google found message dealing with the National Defense Medal, for the format. For those who actually know how to read actual service messages, critical explanations and advice is appreciated. I was a AS in the Navy, not a YN)

Frizbyboi6969: So who’s gonna wear that ribbon proudly?

Turtlebaywasainsidejob!!!: I have to figure out if I’m allowed. That term ‘Good Standing’ is a 4-bladed sword. Should we wear gold or sapphire stars to show loyalty?

MOOSEISSQUIRRIL455HT5: Considering how many 'Longevity' awards I earned (and no Good Cookie Medals?) for being in the AFFC & AFFS, we should wear what ever the [CENSORED: Come On! That's a bad word!] you want...
