Well you know what this means...

SLEEP- no, REPORTING

Truth be told, I don't know why I'm doing this, I just got really bored and well... THERES SOME STUFF THAT NEEDS REPORTING! Also, I'm changing the name of my news thingy to this because ''Rootbeer Times'' doesn't really go well anymore. I mean, yeah, it can still work but I play on Rootss now and not Rootbeer55- yeah. So anyways, here's what you came for: random news.

Topic One: The Search and Return

The Crime Office has officially returned! These are Sled's words on the topic: ''On to the more exciting part though. The new crime office will welcome inclusion to all members of the OldCP community that are interested in crimezone and want to help out. These members of the community will be called "sleuths." Yes, there will still be detectives & they will have their own private chat, but members of the OldCP community are welcomed to chat and give help to the investigation – and maybe, just maybe, they will earn the rank of detective if they prove themselves worthy.''

The return of the Crime Office comes the return of Detectives of all range. You can apply for Inspector here. You can apply for Sergeant here. I do believe there's a link to Detective Applications in their discord server but seeing as I do not have very much interest or understand very much about crimezone, I've yet to join it.

Topic Two: North Warlord Incoming

Seeing as our former Warlord of the North was trialed for treason, we're in need of another. This is what KOTN iBlue has to say for those interested in competing: ''The rewards will be rank 3 (if allowed by sled), blizzard beaut, clsnorthdouble, a bigger size, and a custom gray title. Hope to see you there!'' The Tournament will take place Saturday, April 18th at 5 PM EST. Pretty cool prizes too- I'd participate if I wasn't such a horrible fighter. :')

Topic Three: New Crimezone?

Yep... there does appear to be new crimezone. Which, in my honest opinion, is a godsend because the old one was getting pretty outrageous and confusing. This one is more like the crimezone of 2015/2016 with items being taken and stuff... Pretty interesting. Read Joseph's report from yesterday to understand it better.

But as new things rise, issues do as well. There seems to be a slight issue with crowding CZ characters which is beginning to throw CZ back to it's old ways- uninclusive and shut off from public. Honestly, I feel as though Jake01 has an idea that all of us need to follow. Here's a link to his post on Crowding. Should shed more light on the situation.

More CZ went on today! Read Joseph's report for more information.

Julian has a pretty interesting theory on the matter. This is his theory: ''Although nobody wants this, I’m confident that it is Pythas. Pythas is now notorious for putting ‘My’ in front of everything, and there would be no other reason for ‘MYSMUGGLE’ to be called that. My theory is, that Pythas is creating this front to gain power while not having to show himself publicly so that he could wait it out until his death on Damensday. Although again, many don’t want this to connect to OP people, I think it will connect to Pythas, but there won’t be OP fighting involved. This, also looking at it from Damen’s point of view, is to tie off Pythas’ story, and end it right instead of just deleting it. Another thing that may connect MYSMUGGLE and Myfort, is that Lucian knew that Orbay had been a king, so he obviously knew more than he claimed, probably from his higher-ups.'' You can read his full document here.

Topic Four: Jdutr's Create Contest

What with Coronavirus Quarantine going on, Jdutr is hosting a Create Contest to.. improve the mood of forums. You can get more information here.

---

Topic Five: Force Abilities: The Future

What with recent abuse regarding 'force push' in where users either use the tool to fling each-other off screen, to places where they shouldn't be or simply to cheat during a battle, Gamer created a poll and discussion to see what users think on Force Abilities. Should they stay as they are, be nerfed or be removed? You can find more information here.

Topic Six: Contact Hub

Due to the recent surge in users and the annoyance of being bombarded by requests in their DMs, the admins have created a contact hub where you can create a ticket expressing what you need and will hopefully get a fast reply from an in-game administrator. This is what Sled has to say: ''There is now a server that allows you to create a ticket in order to contact an OldCP administrator. An admin with the ability to resolve your problem will do so as soon as they can. This was made so admins can stop being spammed in discord DMs and ingame + be more organized.''

You can join the server here.
