Our local news column was absent during Elimination as there is only so much gossip one man can process. But now we're back with a slate of short stories you may have missed from the past few weeks, along with a few snippets of breaking news too. UPDATED RAIDING TABLE Redxjak of The Brotherhood of War asked us for an updated raid table, as they believed their faction's 60,674 - 2,568 victory over TRANQUILITY may have been enough to make it into the top ten. I can confirm that BoW are ranked tenth in the list of the most destructive raid battles ever fought, which is good, as it gives me an excuse to publish the aforementioned raiding table.
