Letter to the Editor, Issue 6
Copasetic, Sunday Dec 25th, 0:19 |
Your interview with Felice, the junior Brotherhood minion, marks the second featured interview in the Descryer's short history with a representative of an invading force. This interview emphasizes your omission of a balancing perspective from souls opposing these aggressive acts. Editorial decisionmaking of this nature makes the Descryer an open forum for troublemakers to boast about their latest patch of scorched earth. I hope it does not reflect an overall pattern of biased reporting.
Misinformation regarding Ancalagon and YM
-- Letter from Melkor |
First of all, I am not the leader of the WURM, I am the founder. There is no leader; we are each equal.
Secondly, I don�t know where you heard I had 4000 souls �in tow� but the most souls I�ve ever had mobile at one time was in the 3000 range and that was long ago before I had created my escape world.
Ancalagon was not planning to convert any village. The only reason he moved to the village, was because Mosga told him to, so that he could cast BS on Dworkin. Saying that he planned to convert the village was an outright lie to try to justify an unjustifiable murder. Not the first time YM has done that to my brother, but it will be the last.
And as I have said before, you assume much if you think Dworkin is in any way loose lipped about what he plans on doing, assuming he even has a plan, which from my experience is almost never. But in this case it would appear he�s managed to make lemonade out of the lemons those fools handed my brother, which pleases me greatly.
Ancalagon�s death was quite an unpleasant surprise to him, which considering the fact that every visit he has ever made to YM has ended the same, should say something about his level of trust in the new administration. Whether he gathers for dworkin or sits around peacefully, they�ve always fabricated some reason to kill him. He went to YM to teach Skuldsaga alchemy, not to start a conflict, hence the piles of alchemical resources he was carrying on him, for her to practice with; over 50 if I am not mistaken. Not something someone who expected to die would carry with them. But as usual he is made out to be the aggressor, even though he complied with mosga�s orders.
And Ancalagon had not been gathering for me, I would assume he had been gathering for dowrkin if he had been �gathering since Thursday� at all. Considering that Felice had been on YM longer, Dworkin could have just as easily gotten to YM that way. Why he asked my brother to gather, I do not know. I did not even know Ancalagon was on YM at all until afterwards, something which displeased me greatly as I suspected something like this would take place.

The Sky Soul's Role in World Creation
-- Letter from Dragyn |
In Issue 5, you quite downplay the participation the Sky soul has in making a world...while it is the Earth soul that casts Terrauctus, the new world is built around the Sky player's soul, as system messages state the feeling of land being added to oneself. In a sense, Blue Sun and the Asteroid worlds are extensions of my and Bard's souls, respectively, even though we don't have access to the world from our overview.

Shoddy Report in The Descryer
-- Letter from Sproo |
Ms. Editor:
Regarding your most recent interview and editorial (Descryer, Vol. 4), I have to say I have not seen such shoddy reporting in considerable time.
Mr. Jwr has, in his own words, written an entire article to expose Mr. Kcunda's hypocrisy contained within the interview. Yet within his article, he is only able to come up with one item that might be considered hypocritical, that being that Mr. Kcunda apparantly said that the two of them converted each other's hamlets all the time, so this particular incident should not have been anything special. Yet if we actually examine the interview, we see that Mr. Kcunda said only that they walked on each other's hamlets all the time. This is a far cry from converting them.
While I do not attempt to make any defense for Mr. Kcunda's actions, I would suggest that as editor-in-chief you hold your reporters to a higher standard of journalistic rigour, and require that if they are basing an article from an interview, they at least read said interview first.
The fact that your interviewer as well did not ask the obvious follow-up question, "Was this unusual?", leads me to believe that the interviewer may have been biased from the outset, and looking to prove a point rather than obtain the facts in an objective manner.
The first printing of Issue 4 did run a wrong version of the analysis by Mr. JWRTolkien. The error was since corrected. edit extract delete add comment |

(Evyndd, Dec 24)
In the interview with Felice in issue 6 he said that I gathered for him four times but that he failed the triggers. I would like to say that he's rather foolish to think that I actually gathered for him, and to think that I wasn't aware of his alleigence.
If he's a typical example of its members, then the BH needs a little work. edit extract delete add comment |
