AN OPERA WITTEN BY QUENTIN TARANTINO, DETAILING THE CHROMA WAR, IS BEING DEVELOPED.

By Ironcock McCarthy

That's right, legendary filmmaker, director, screenwriter, and actor Quentin Tarantino is working on an opera that will show the history of the war between the periwinkles and orangereds.

"It's going to be written from a neutral perspective." Tarantino said in an interview. "It's going to explore both the strengths, weaknesses, goods, and bads of both sides."

Tarantino says he has been working "day in and day out" to write the opera, driven by "a cup of coffee and some McDonalds." The writing process hasn't been easy however.

"I think the hardest part is that I'm writing it in latin, and I don't speak latin." Tarantino said. "I'm also trying to figure out how to make an opera extremely graphic. On top of that, there's a lot of research I have to do to write an accurate history of Chroma."

The project is expected to be completed and released on Broadway in late June, 2015. Actors are still to be determined, but it has been speculated that Tarantino himself will make a cameo as he often does in his productions.

Chroma Market Inactive

The market seems to have been extremely down in activity because the market update has been stalled. No information has been released about the bot, while the updated version of the market is still a work in progress.

For being one of the workers on this project, I know that there is a lot of math going on, and that the market should be inactive for right now. However, once this new update is released, the market should return to is natural, if not more busy state.

Battle badge system implemented on /r/Periwinkle

The moderators of /r/Periwinkle have given people an another reason to fight for the right cause. Battling is what is the most important and the moderators have wanted to show how you can never stress this enough.

This is our way of thanking all those loyal Periwinkles who've done their duty and gone to battle alongside us. We started out as the underdog and I honestly believe that the reason we're doing so well is because we have such a strong community.

-/u/Sahdee

Everything has been done manually, from the massive Google Docs page with everyone's names and all of the battles all the way to the CSS on /r/periwinkle.

The heroic last push was done my /u/myductape, who, single handedly, manually wrote down each username and it's corresponding icon for every Periwinkle.

The pain comes with progress and it can be seen very well. After finishing the CSS, tape could finally rest his hands and let's just say he'll be feeling the hard work for days.

Tape: Its over. I finished the names. Who wants to announce it, because I certainly don't want to.

Rock: But you've put so much time into it! You should do it.

Tape: But i have typed so much,and my hands are hurting. I've resorted to voice to text.


EXTRA INFORMATION:

The Moderators, themselves, are not able to wear their own medals for now, because of CSS issues, but it is said to be fixed in the near future. UPDATE 04-02-14 This has been fixed and the moderators now have badges as well.

The 'base' medal that was also planned to be implemented has been postponed for now. /u/Myductape has confirmed, though, that eventually everyone, who registers will get the base medal.

The 'silver' medal that was on a higher rank than 'gold' seemed to have caused confusion, so it was immediately renamed 'platinum'. The actual reason behind gold being worse than silver has been confirmed to be because of the inspiration from military rankings outside Chroma.

Periwinkle soldiers executed in New Cerulean on sight.

Hello and welcome to Chroma News Network.

Just after the Periwinkles acheved victory in Vermillion Union, second time in a row, locking the land for fourteen days, shots were heared coming from the, now surrounded New Cerulean, or Dotland.

A person who wishes to be anynomous has described what he heard. For anonymity, his face is blurred and his voice pitch is altered:

"So I was up on the hills in Periwin Grove. You know, the southern mountain range that continues to New Cerulean. Anyways, so I was up there, minding my own business, when all of a sudden, I hear shots: "BANG BANG BANG" one after the other. Now, I wouldn't think any of it, but I knew the fighting was going on in Vermillion Union, and it didn't come from there. I am very confused. I didn't want to go in there and look, although I wanted to. Cuz, you know... with the state of that land and all.. well you know what is going on there."

The person was exactly right, because secret sources have informed us that there indeed was a shooting in New Cerulean. The panicked government, that had just found out that they are new completely surrounded with Periwinkle forces acted irrationally. Nothing would have happened unless right at that moment, three Periwinkle spies were found in the outskirts of the land. The public execution of said soldiers happened 5:13:42 EDT.

What is unsure still, is the actual purpose of the said Periwinkles. No blue soldier or citizen has ever entered the territory of New Cerulean, since the last rebellion ended. Rumors say that they might have been PBI members who were trying to get information about the land. The truth is still uncertain to everyone, because the Governor didn't interrogate or ask any questions. The people of New Cerulean are nervous and anxious. The atmosphere is tense. It is only a matter of time.

Chroma Market Update Ahead?

As the new year approaches, rumors abound in the economic sector that the Market may soon be getting an overhaul. An anonymous source revealed to me earlier that the mods of the Market are working at this very moment on a total reformation of the market, with new items, a new way of forming businesses and companies, new rewards for making chromanium, and even a bot which will do most of the math involved in running the market, automatically. The mods expect it to be a grand new year, but questions abound. In particular, many wonder what will happen to the users' current wealth, and the companies in existence at the moment. Fears of another Black Saturday are rising. However my source reaffirms that the mods will do the best they can to ensure that everyone's wealth stays intact, and that there should be little fear of such a disaster ever reoccurring.

Overly paranoid troops in both capitals panic as New Years fireworks are mistaken for explosions

Revelers in Periopolis and Oraistedearg were suprised when troops broke up parties in The Square of 5 Petals and Tangerine Plaza respectively, when overzealous troops appeared with tanks ready, thinking themselves under attack. Nobody is reported to be injured, but the troops have been subjected to severe jeering by the crowds.

New Information on New Cerulean/Dotland Crisis

New Information has come to light about the perpetrators of the rebellion in /r/NewCerulean. RockdaleRooster released a statement yesterday blaming militant separatist group the People's Republic of Periwinkle for inciting the rebellion against Orangered Gov. Dotchee.

I don't think this started out as a rebellion by the people, but because of the way you [Theelout] handled things it has become one. I think it was started by the People's Republic of Periwinkle.

If true, this could prove to be a shocking new turn of events, and throw both Orangered and Periwinkle off-balance.

BREAKING Troops have been dumped.

BREAKING Troops dumped in battle, entire nation in shock

Yes, folks, you read that correctly. Someone in the army (team, branch, username, amount of troops, battle location undisclosed) has DUMPED. TROOPS. As you all may know, that is literally the highest offense possible in Chroma, and is punishable by, but not limited to, arguements (public and private), Council of Karma posts about it, the other team acting like royalty, the shaming of that person by the other team, and a harsh scolding typed in bold. These punishments may seem harsh, but dumping is a horrid, disgusting act that must never occur in a battle.

I have spoken with several officials from each team. "Wasn't me." says tiercel, Naughtypenguin, Meshanugguh and every other Periwinkle. The Orangered leaders had this to say, "I bet it was a Periwinkle." -Hanson_Alister. Fatelaking says "Yeah." in response to Hanson's opinion.

I will (probably not) update this story as it develops, as it is of utmost importance.

In other news,

  • Periwinkle territories under mysterious lock, Orangereds have suspiscions of martial law, troop dumping

  • A certain coffee shop has evolved in a porn roleplaying subreddit.

  • And, finally, /r/NewCerulean, now known as Dotland, has been voted "Best Territory Ever" by Orangered official.

CNN, bringing you the news you don't need or want, and deserve!

FAMOUS RAPPERS KANYE WEST AND CHRIS BROWN JOIN THE CHROMA WAR, EXTREME BULLSHIT ENSUES

By Ironcock McCarthy.

Famous rapper Kanye West has recently been taken to court on charges of eating several babies. His reason? The babies were wearing orange clothing.

When asked about the baby-eating, Kanye stated that he was only retaliating to reports of Chris Brown beating women who were wearing periwinkle clothes.

"Man, I just heard dem reports about Chris Brown, beatin' those poor women just because they were periwinkle, man." Kanye said in an interview. "So I decided to get back at him, an' when I saw dem babies wearin' orangered, I just went an' ate them."

When asked about his beating women who wore periwinkle, Chris Brown said that "those bitches had dat shit comin' dats what a nigga deserves fo' supportin' dem peri muthafukkas. Get dat fukken camera outta mah face, nigga."

Periwinkle moderator Toworn, when asked about Kanye West's baby devouring, said "I hate Kanye West and he shouldn't eat OR babies, not until they can fight back."

When asked about Chris Brown's woman beating, Orangered moderator Greyavenger said "Chris Brown should not beat women, but Chris Brown should beat anyone wearing any kind of support for Periwinkle, including women."

Orangered citizen Duzitickle described Chris Brown's activities as ".......not good."

Actor Morgan Freeman stated that he had "no opinion" on the matter and would "prefer to stay neutral" so he can focus on "narrating more things and earning more freckles."

GARY BUSEY PRONOUNCES CHROMA AS 2013'S BEST HOBBY, GIVES AWARD

By Ironcock McCarthy

In a recent interview with CNN reporters, famed actor and possible lunatic Gary Busey proclaimed the Orangered/Periwinkle war and the Chroma community "the most amazing hobby of the year".

"I really love my hobbies, like motorcycle riding." Busey said in an interview with a CNN reporter. "You all know I love my hobbies. So I really mean it when I say something's a great hobby. And than Orangered versus Periwinkle war is a fantastic hobby."

Mr. Busey went on to say how great the Chroma community was whether you were Orangered or Periwinkle and even said "Chroma is the best waste of time since watching grass grow".

Busey even went as far as giving Chroma his annual "Biggest Time Wasting Black Hole of 2013" award.

"If you have time to kill, arguing with whatever team you're against and posting memes on your team subreddit is a fantastic way to get rid of that time." He said in the interview. "Not enough time wasted? Well then, sign up to fight in the territory battles! Sometimes they're started by Australians, which means that you Americans will have to be awake at ridiculous hours to participate!"

According to Mr. Busey, Chroma is an even better waste of time than Cookie Clicker and Call Of Duty's multiplayer mode, making it a perfect hobby for Redditors.
