 **Aestland's Return**\\
-(ae) Last Tuesday had the founder of Aestland return to his island. He came back to Alpha Realm after half a year of absence and gave the name 'Justasboi' for himself. He remembered his home but not how to get there, and accepted the offer of guidance for himself and a friend he'd brought along.\\

He remembered his home but not how to get there, and accepted the offer of guidance for himself and a friend he'd brought along.\\
 After a trek through the nether and some harrowing boating accidents on high seas due to inexperience, the three travelers made their way to the linked island. Only upon seeing it did the guide recognize it as Aestland, as the one trying to get there had not given a name, and remembered that there should be a portal even on the island itself.\\
 The returnee agreed and found it at once, well-hidden as it is, as well as his former residence. Upon scrutinizing the chests in his home, the returnee remembered his real name and explained that he had been suffering from partial amnesia due to a network complication. Now that he was home though, he could fully return to his former self: Baltman, the founder of Aestland.\\

 **Autism Criteria**\\
 (ar) God AlphaBernd spent last Tuesday on updating both our Realm's autism criteria and its outer presentation on the page https://autism.dev-urandom.eu/. An added criteria is now the 'hours played' list, finally providing a statistic acknowledging all the //hard work// that goes into afk-farming. Since it does not involve the (personal) changing of any blocks, those efforts could heretofore not be properly honored.\\
-According to God AlphaBernd's explanation, the hours displayed are added for the "entire time since the map started" (in contrast to the block changes that only sum up "the last ninety days", which is an extension of the previous two-month period) and count work in Alpha Realm's Nether and End regions as well. Each listed player is linked to a personal page displaying even more detailed information.\\

 **Hollow Bastion at the Northern Edge**\\
-(ur) Recently, a huge cobblestone pillar was discovered at the northern edge of Alpha Realm, piquing the interest of the press and the neighboring town. While Residents Anotsu and RevolverKun from the nearby Squid Village had ventured to the structure they can see from home, they had been unable to find hints as to its creator.\\

While Residents Anotsu and RevolverKun from the nearby Squid Village had ventured to the structure they can see from home, they had been unable to find hints as to its creator.\\
 After receiving some quick investigation training, Resident RevolverKun set out once more and reported that the high outer walls were "created with lava and water" by Resident Acid_Trance since November 28th.\\
-Carefully moving inside, the explorer was able to shoot some rather breathtaking pictures, which are collected in photo 015. Only a little later, Resident Acid_Trance himself awoke but was unable to be contacted, so he could not be asked whether his magnificent structure was named. Even so, considering its size and particularities, the stronghold should be included in the list of Alpha Realm's landmarks.\\

 **Badface Builds Guardian Farm**\\
-(bf) Slightly off the northern shores of the United Duchy of the Two Sorras, High Commissioner Austrobernd of the Mandatory of New Badfacia is currently working on creating a new guardian farm around a previous ocean monument. He did not yet comment to the press on whether or not this is a farm exclusive to the Mandatory of Badfacia, or if he plans to donate a central, public guardian farm to Alpha Realm residents.\\

 **Mall Voting**\\
 (ns) On Thursday, Tlatoani Tomoko of Ēxcān Bastet announced plans to build a new mall closer to New Spawn, and was immediately strongly discouraged by various residents. Against opinions that it would be better to "just expand the old mall" which "is still heavily in use", Tlatoani Tomoko countered that the "old mall is too laggy" and he "was thinking of demolishing it actually [...] but if you guys want that ugly thing, I'll leave it." He expressed dissatisfaction with his then-hurried design of the mall and stated that a new one would be "more spacey and modern and hip."\\
 When the discussion continued the next day with even more discouragement from other residents, Tlatoani Tomoko decided to put up a voting board until Tuesday evening. To date, six valid votes for it and eight valid votes against it have been gathered. Invalid signs (without names) may be used for valid votes until Tuesday night, and the vote ends on Wednesday, December 16th.\\
-However, Tlatoani Tomoko cautioned that, "Literally, the vote is only a 'suggestion'; if I want I could still go ahead and build it, but I'm waiting to see what people want. There's no 'democracy' here. But I'll respect the wishes of Alpha Realm and build something else instead. It's me voluntarily listening to you guys."\\

 For unknown reasons, Resident Zylix seems intent to sabotage the pro-voting, as shown in photo 016.\\

 **Co-Habitation in Southrim**\\
-(sr) In the 'Southrim Fortifications' area MARNIE reported about in the November 23rd issue, Resident Pwnisrufezeichen finally discovered the previous inhabitant's storage facilities on December 11th. Believing to have intruders on hand, he called out to Moderator Niller1703, who discovered that the chests in question belonged to Resident AdamJensen. Said resident was also in Alpha Realm at the time and called to the scene.\\

-Overhearing the inquisition, Administrator Jinxauthor_Mel of Midgard Municipality informed Moderator Niller1703 that, "Adam and Mimo were there first, but they were rather hidden in their mountain base." Administrator Jinxauthor_Mel had visited the area in early October during the compilation of the Netherrail Network and found that even then, their dwellings were older than two months, and the Austrian settlers had not yet arrived. He also informed that neither Resident Mimokrokodil, who was in Alpha Realm several times since the Austrians started on their fortifications, nor either of the latter reacted to any communication attempts from the press, and therefore could be neither informed nor asked about their cohabitants.\\

 Moderator Niller1703 confirmed that the warehouse was as old as February 2015, and Resident AdamJensen noted that while the warehouse was his, "now Mimokrokodil lives here."
 Resident Pwnisrufezeichen stated, "I respect that you were here first but I don't wanna remove my wall. We didn't know that there were any others, so we started surrounding it with walls. Later we noticed this house in the north and after watching it for a while, we decided that nobody is there anymore." He decided to later talk to Resident Mimokrokodil.\\

 **Station Stolen**\\
-(ln) During recent weeks, Chief Tsaryu of the Commons of Valensiya has been active in the neighborhood again. Visiting Lauranya on December 7th shortly after midnight, to his shocked bemusement he found the entire train station building vanished. An immediate investigation by Valensiyan officials exposed that it had been cleanly demolished by Resident Demmy, who had visited Alpha Realm for all of forty minutes and left only one and a half hour before the damage was discovered.\\

 Moderator Koduck, who was called to the scene, restored the building and issued a lifelong prison sentence for the culprit. Further investigation later on revealed that livestock had also been set free but not slain, and Demolisher Demmy had also broken into the bank's vault but was unable to crack the code protecting the safes.\\
 To Chief Tsaryu's utter disbelief, the demolisher had taken twenty-eight minutes for a task that should have taken no more than seven minutes. After Chief Tsaryu expressed admiration and amusement rather than anger, Moderator Koduck shortened Demolisher Demmy's sentence to one week in prison for 'taking down an entire station'.\\
