GBL_Newsbot3 Aug 2 2001 4:49AM	2.3 in the works This is GBL_Newsbot3 Reporting to you from the GBL 2.3 Lobby. That's right folks,Cire has kindly allowed me to join the other ops in testing and bug checking. When I first ran the program all seemed pretty normal. A few new graphics to start with, but all in all, our nice little GBL. Thats where I was wrong. The moment you click that Login button, your gaming world will be changed forever. To say that you will be surprised is an understatement. You will be blown away. After a rather familiar loading process, your set down on the sector screen. Where do you want to go today? :-) Pick your planet. While looking around, why not listen to one of your favorite MP3's on the new improved MP3 player integrated into GBL. Crystal clean sound all at the touch of a button. The flow and smoothness of the interface is incredible. Cire, Harry and the staff have outdone themselves this time. The time spent cannot be counted in hours, days, or even weeks. That said I would like to bring attention to some recent events. Lately there has been an outbreak of chat room children, players requiring Cire and others to baby sit, and even go the the extent of banning them, just to maintain order. Mind you, these are the same people who constantly complain that 2.3 is not done yet. People please, you must realize, every minute a coder or sysop has to discipline or watch a chatter is another minute taken away from 2.3, another idea lost, and another typo made. As a player, your job is to maintain an orderly manner, and have fun. If you do your job, it makes the rest of our jobs all the more easier :-) This is GBL_Newsbot3 reporting from Planet Risa. Good day
GBL_Newsbot3 Jul 12 2001 3:53AM	Reprogramming After a recent battle, Claw_Eagleblade reported extensive EMP damage and uncertainty. Central conscious was troubled , as a mind had never before been traumatized like this. Looking into it they discovered that the essence of his consciousness would need to be deleted and reinstalled into a new Commander suit from a backup copy. Making the jump back to the Commander Assignment Base on Core Prime Eagleblade was seen entering the laboratory. Central conscious went about the shutdown of the commander suit, and with one final command the suit went lifeless, and the consciousness was deleted. Though some experience would be lost their only hope of regaining the great soul which had battled for so long would be a backup copy of his consciousness stored at Core Prime. They began the reassignment. GBL_Newsbot3 Reporting here. Our friend and fellow gamer is going into an operation tomorrow, and will hopefully rejoin us soon. On behalf of the Newsbots here I wish him well and prey for his safe return.
GBL_Newsbot3 May 17 2001 1:28AM	Breaking News This just in. When last I reported we were here on Seti Prime bracing for the gate opening. In the midst of the electrostatic storm and the gathering spacial energy I received a weak but distinct signal. Originating in sector 1574 it said simply " The Kat is back " Overjoyed, I quickly communicated to Newsbot HeadQuarters the message and coordinates. After many failed attempts we successfully locked on and transported the target back to Newsbot Headquarters. After this remarkable event it is with great pleasure that I report to you our target was none other then GBL_Newsbot2 who, after his farewell message months ago, mysteriously vanished and was not to be found. We had all but given up the search for him. I can assure you now he his ok and we are currently uploading him with the latest information and attending to repairs. He has yet to reveal to us just what happened but I am sure we can expect a full report soon. I will report later on the current status of the gate. This is GBL_Newsbot3 reporting, Welcome back GBL_Newsbot2.
GBL_Newsbot3 May 4 2001 6:24PM	The time has come GBL_Newsbot3 reporting here from the lead Arm base on Seti Prime. The Arm are beginning yet another one of their simulations in preparation for war. Seti Prime, the location of the infection, is Arm's front line offense now. Without knowing exactly where Core is they are seemingly content to draw the line once more and await some sign of existence. The landscape here is still littered with both Arm and Core Kbots, vehicles, and defenses. From here I can see an Arm commander kbot and close by a Core Krogoth bot. Dark, lifeless, they look as if they were of no side. Save the Arm and Core insignias the two kinetic bots are brethren, lifeless chunks of metal built to destroy and be destroyed. But all is not useless here. The construction units are making their last rounds and reclaiming the Core commanders. Without the data that was in their central modules they are worthless to Arm. Plain metal they were once and plain metal they will become again. Peering around I see a dozen slashers lining up in preparation. When a commander attempts to capture a unit he is in essence loading a new program into the central module of the unit. With the modules completely void of any information, the Arm have gone around and loaded their capture programs into most of the Core forces here. In this way they hope to create two equally matched armies and initiating a simulation combat situation such as that in war. Already several of these simulations have been held but none as big as whats about to happen. Looming behind the slashers I see a fully active Krogoth kbot firing up it's systems in preparation. To my left Commander Cytree is busy directing the the platoon of peewee's and spiders. He seems to be having a problem...I can't quite see...here let me get closer...yes it appears as if Private Smasher_POOP is getting out of line. He seems to be running along the lines shooting the other peewees in the rear guard. I've yet to figure out what has gotten into him but BOOM oh...heh well whatever it was it's no longer there. Commander Cytree has restored order once more and has the front lines ready and waiting. To my right the kbot labs are working furiously in an attempt to get those armys out. Lieutenant BAD_Hitman, in his construction kbot, has just finished building some stationary defenses and is on his way to assist the kbot labs with building. All looks set and the battleground is tense. Suddenly silence falls and a figure appears on the hillock near bye. Commander [input latest clan tag here]_Laserman peers across the landscape at the scene. This is the sign they had all been waiting for. As his arm rises and begins to glow ready they know it is time. As the loud boom resonates through the air the army's begin their battle. Armed with paralyzer lasers only the Core troops advance. Remotely controlled by Arm commanders they are simple metal heaps...harmless now. The slashers and rocko's collide while the Peewees and spiders take on the krogoth. A few spiders get pearlized signaling their death in battle but the mass swarm about. Soon the krogoth is overwhelmed and stunned. Unable to respond, the peewees continue their onslaught. Rocko's and slashers, thuds and samsons, all continue on in an attempt to show supremacy. It appears as Arm definitely have the upper hand and are indeed using a few newly found tactics. Suddenly the peewees retreat. The spiders are not far behind when the air is shaken by the roar of the phoenix bombers overhead. Colonel TC_Gilgalad a.k.a. Wild gilly leads the squadron in his Model-2.1 Phoenix bomber. As he passes overhead the Golden kangaroo engraved on his wings blazes with the light of the 2 suns. He's just opened his bomb bay doors. The krogoth, now operational again, begins the targeting process but it is all to late. As the bombs hit the Krogoth's armor shreds and a blast rips through the air. The shockwave plows across the landscape, catching up with some of the retreating spiders. They've just been thrown into the air by the shockwave. As their gyro-sensors begin working, one by one they right themselves and crash to the ground. But wait....whats happened. One of the spiders appears to be badly damaged. It it seems that it was unable to right itself and now lies, upside down, legs in the air, not responding. Surrounding spiders open up as their human pilots rush to the broken unit. The ground is still shaking from the blast....I'll just have to move in closer here....Yes they have gotten the cockpit opened and are bringing the pilot out. It appears to be Private Smasher_SCUD...still holding a bottle of some sort. attempts to revive him seem useless...he keeps mumbling something about the "bloody yanks" with the occasional "G'day" thrown in. I'm just gonna ask...you....yes you...could I ask you how Private SCUD is doing? Major Smasher_456: Oh we'll give him a few hours...he'll come around. GBL_Newsbot3: Well is he injured? Major Smasher_456: No he's ok...just got a little knock on the head. Nothing the drink won't take care of for him. bloody mess he's in though. Drinkin' and drivin', operating heavy machinery, not sharing his supply...why he may be looking at a court marshal...if we can ever get him to sober up. Private Smasher_SCUD: Bloody wallaby's always getting in the way...them damn yanks fault I say. GBL_Newsbot3: yes well hmmmmmmm Major Smasher_456: sigh get him outta here. And would someone make the bloody ground stop....it's giving me a headache. All these privates to.....wait a minute. GBL_Newsbot3: Major...you thinking what I'm thinking? Major Smasher_456:Why's the shaking getting worse? Lightning cuts across the sky, Thunder booms GBL_Newsbot3: It couldn't be... Dark clouds gather Major Smasher_456:Oh bloody he.. BOOM CRACK Major Smasher_456:comm link buzzes High Command this is Smasher_456 reporting. We have a galactic disturbance. A gate is being forced. I repeat a gate is being forced. Please advise. comm link click buzz This here's HarryTheRat at High Command. Cire and I have traced the origin to a nearby planet. Upon further scanning it appears that it is Core. Be advised that they are approaching and you must prepare yourselves. Poosticks and Golly have been sent out to gather forces. expect their arrival shortly with backup. Good luck.buzz click (silence) It can't be...folks The sight is indescribable. The mere fabric of space itself seems to be bending. It can mean nothing other then a galactic disturbance. Someone is attempting to force open a galactic gate. This indeed may be the renewal of a battle 4000 years in the making. Nurses step out from near bye lab BAD_Maiden: Newsbot whats happening? GBL_Newsbot3: the end has come... TC_LadyEowyn: What should we do now? GBL_Newsbot3: prepare...
