EvoCity News (10/01/15)
Business

In the aftermath of an explosive entrance made by the stock exchange, we have seen the various factions, companies and industries of EvoCity burst.
Many have adopted a dynamic approach to this change. That is, while still offering their primary services, they have opted to delve into the pharmaceutical and lumber industries.

Whatever the case, it is unanimously agreed that this has been a very exciting - and very prosperous week - for the EvoCity entrepreneurs. Let's have a look at what's happened this week:

AERIS - After uneasy negotiations, including the execution of a diplomat, announce their active hostility against the Red Hand terror cell and encourage other factions to do the same. What could this animosity towards these national criminals mean for the organisation, and for the City as a whole? Asides from this, AERI shares have looked to be volatile since the opening of the EC:SE, with them seeing a massive drop, then a slow incremental rise before seemingly holding at around the $515 mark.

Cerebrus International - An amazing week for Cererbrus shareholders. Asides from nearly eradicating security service rivals 'Cobra Military Organisation', they saw an exponential growth in their shares from the resounding victory and even an announcement on the EC:SE! Additionally, it would seem that C.I and Praetorian Banking have launched into a healthy partnership. Perhaps the busiest faction this week, managing to sell 5000 shares, crash the stock market and almost eradicate a rival all in one day! Keep an eye on these guys!

Cobra Military Organisation - War! CMO shares plummet as they are smashed in a skirmish with Cerebrus International. It's expected that CMO will attempt to launch a retaliation against their adversaries in the near future, and there is already talks of appeals to the NMIC following the crippling drop in shares. Rumours are circulating that the attack was provoked by a private contractor, perhaps a ruthless company looking to make profit? Whatever the case, CMO stocks seem to be recovering from the decimating loss they suffered, seeing a slow but steady rise back above the $500 mark per share.

Designing Tomorrow - An unusual industry that took the job market by storm! This wonderful architecture company has already been flooded by applications, despite only officially being established on the 8th of January. Share wise, D.T has seen ridiculous success in the past 24hrs, with their shares rising 25.93% at the time of this publishing. A quirky company, certainly, but it has certainly drawn attention, profit and business.

FUMUKU International - Lurch forward into the stock market with little to no announcement. FUMUKU are an odd bunch, and usually keep their operations very close to their chest. However, it seems to be working. F.I are yet to see a dramatic dip in their shares from the Stock Exchange opening and this is thought to be due to the company's interest in Arms & Munitions trade. 

Her Majesty's Foreign Office - Rule Britannia seems to have been the motif these past few days. Materialising from seemingly thin air, Her Majesty has certainly taken royalties on the Stock Market. They seemed to dominate the exchange for the first few days, having shares starting at $600. Though, as other companies have arisen to this challenge, the shadowy British Delegation seems to have remained in a holding pattern at around the $590 mark. An insider's tip, though, would be to keep a close eye on them in the near future...

National Monetary Investment Corp. - Shaking at the foundations? NMIC have seen multiple stock market crashes in the short time it's been open, and have already utilised their power to restart the exchange. However unsteady the launching days were, it seems the NMIC are determined to get to the bottom of their most recent 'Cererbrus' crash, which dramatically devalued their platform. Following rumours of a private, cunning contractor, NMIC has initiated a full-scale investigation with federal authorities to find out just what happened. Shares wise, there's nothing too interesting to say for the NMIC, we're afraid. Watch the newsfeed closely for updates on the investigation, as this will almost certainly affect shares.

 Praetorian Banking -The first organised, genuine banking system that lasts for more than a day. PBNK shares were nothing too large up until early this morning, where they've seen a dramatic rise in shares! 28.84% at the time of this publishing. Rumours are circulating of the company's ruthless nature, however, and how their approach to dealing with rivals, attackers and corporate spies seemingly never come to light... Regardless, PBNK shares are amongst the most reliable if bought cheaply, and investments in this company are strongly defended by new partners, Cerebrus International.

Unity International - Unity International unfortunately seems to be a small fish in a big pond. This private security company appears to be dwarfed by the likes of AERIS, FUMUKU and Cerebrus International. Despite looking somewhat promising in the opening days of the exchange, Unity International shares are now on the drop, and in competition with the other security companies, it's unlikely this should change any time soon, unless the company has something to really gain a degree of exposure.

Fantastic job. I'm very glad to see people taking such a huge interest in the stock market. Clan RP both on and off server has soared in recent days. This is worthy of an in-game commendation, so hit up an admin in-game when you have the chance and direct them my post here.

Just so everyone knows, forum posts like this will indeed have a tangible effect on the stock market. There has been a little OOC/IC overlap on the forums, on steam, and in teamspeak, but as it's all in the good spirit of clan/ECSE roleplay I've let it slide and have even encouraged it in occasion. If players are discussing ECSE affairs out of character and taking such a huge interest, it can only be a good thing, and I'd hardly call it meta-gaming.

This is great, i hope you continue this as we can use as many news outlets as possible. Perhaps a clan made by you to scour the server for stories?

Lord Octagon still has Evocity News, it's just not as active as it once was. I could kick up my activity and write articles again, and I'm sure I could get him to.

Loving what you're doing here, even though your post about AERIS is filled with inaccurate claims!
We never had a truce with The Red Hand, we executed their highest ranking official for god sake D;

Damn media! 

/Rant

I'm really loving what Praetorian Banking is doing. I love how you're involving yourself with all the clans and that you're putting yourself in the middle of them all. I hope to see a lot more from you!
Sincerely, Enzyme

Somewhat hard to read the colored text, great job though.
1 When the heavens above did not exist,
2 And earth beneath had not come into being —
3 There was Apsû, the first in order, their begetter,
4 And demiurge Tia-mat, who gave birth to them all;
5 They had mingled their waters together
6 Before meadow-land had coalesced and reed-bed was to he found —
7 When not one of the gods had been formed
8 Or had come into being, when no destinies had been decreed,
9 The gods were created within them:
10 Lah(mu and Lah(amu were formed and came into being.
11 While they grew and increased in stature
12 Anšar and Kišar, who excelled them, were created.
13 They prolonged their days, they multiplied their years.
14 Anu, their son, could rival his fathers.
15 Anu, the son, equalled Anšar,
16 And Anu begat Nudimmud, his own equal.
17 Nudimmud was the champion among his fathers:
18 Profoundly discerning, wise, of robust strength;
19 Very much stronger than his father's begetter, Anšar
20 He had no rival among the gods, his brothers.
21 The divine brothers came together,
22 Their clamour got loud, throwing Tia-mat into a turmoil.
23 They jarred the nerves of Tia-mat,
24 And by their dancing they spread alarm in Anduruna.
25 Apsû did not diminish their clamour,
26 And Tia-mat was silent when confronted with them.
27 Their conduct was displeasing to her,
28 Yet though their behaviour was not good, she wished to spare them.
29 Thereupon Apsû, the begetter of the great gods,
30 Called Mummu, his vizier, and addressed him,
31 "Vizier Mummu, who gratifies my pleasure,
32 Come, let us go to Tia-mat!"
33 They went and sat, facing Tia-mat,
34 As they conferred about the gods, their sons.
35 Apsû opened his mouth
36 And addressed Tia-mat
37 "Their behaviour has become displeasing to me
38 And I cannot rest in the day-time or sleep at night.
39 I will destroy and break up their way of life
40 That silence may reign and we may sleep."
41 When Tia-mat heard this
42 She raged and cried out to her spouse,
43 She cried in distress, fuming within herself,
44 She grieved over the (plotted) evil,
45 "How can we destroy what we have given birth to?
46 Though their behaviour causes distress, let us tighten discipline graciously."
47 Mummu spoke up with counsel for Apsû—
48 (As from) a rebellious vizier was the counsel of his Mummu—
49 "Destroy, my father, that lawless way of life,
50 That you may rest in the day-time and sleep by night!"
51 Apsû was pleased with him, his face beamed
52 Because he had plotted evil against the gods, his sons.
53 Mummu put his arms around Apsû's neck,
54 He sat on his knees kissing him.
55 What they plotted in their gathering
56 Was reported to the gods, their sons.
57 The gods heard it and were frantic.
58 They were overcome with silence and sat quietly.
59 Ea, who excels in knowledge, the skilled and learned,
60 Ea, who knows everything, perceived their tricks.
61 He fashioned it and made it to be all-embracing,
62 He executed it skilfully as supreme—his pure incantation.
63 He recited it and set it on the waters,
64 He poured sleep upon him as he was slumbering deeply.
65 He put Apsû to slumber as he poured out sleep,
66 And Mummu, the counsellor, was breathless with agitation.
67 He split (Apsû's) sinews, ripped off his crown,
68 Carried away his aura and put it on himself.
69 He bound Apsû and killed him;
70 Mummu he confined and handled roughly.
71 He set his dwelling upon Apsû,
72 And laid hold on Mummu, keeping the nose-rope in his hand.
73 After Ea had bound and slain his enemies,
74 Had achieved victory over his foes,
75 He rested quietly in his chamber,
76 He called it Apsû, whose shrines he appointed.
77 Then he founded his living-quarters within it,
78 And Ea and Damkina, his wife, sat in splendour.
79 In the chamber of the destinies, the room of the archetypes,
80 The wisest of the wise, the sage of the gods, Be-l was conceived.
81 In Apsû was Marduk born,
82 In pure Apsû was Marduk born.
83 Ea his father begat him,
84 Damkina his mother bore him.
85 He sucked the breasts of goddesses,
86 A nurse reared him and filled him with terror.
87 His figure was well developed, the glance of his eyes was dazzling,
88 His growth was manly, he was mighty from the beginning.
89 Anu, his father's begetter, saw him,
90 He exulted and smiled; his heart filled with joy.
91 Anu rendered him perfect: his divinity was remarkable,
92 And he became very lofty, excelling them in his attributes.
93 His members were incomprehensibly wonderful,
94 Incapable of being grasped with the mind, hard even to look on.
95 Four were his eyes, four his ears,
96 Flame shot forth as he moved his lips.
97 His four ears grew large,
93 And his eyes likewise took in everything.
99 His figure was lofty and superior in comparison with the gods,
100 His limbs were surpassing, his nature was superior.
101 'Mari-utu, Mari-utu,
102 The Son, the Sun-god, the Sun-god of the gods.'
103 He was clothed with the aura of the Ten Gods, so exalted was his strength,
104 The Fifty Dreads were loaded upon him.
105 Anu formed and gave birth to the four winds,
106 He delivered them to him, "My son, let them whirl!"
107 He formed dust and set a hurricane to drive it,
108 He made a wave to bring consternation on Tia-mat.
109 Tia-mat was confounded; day and night she was frantic.
110 The gods took no rest, they . . . . . . .
111 In their minds they plotted evil,
112 And addressed their mother Tia-mat,
113 "When Apsû, your spouse, was killed,
114 You did not go at his side, but sat quietly.
115 The four dreadful winds have been fashioned
116 To throw you into confusion, and we cannot sleep.
117 You gave no thought to Apsû, your spouse,
113 Nor to Mummu, who is a prisoner. Now you sit alone.
119 Henceforth you will be in frantic consternation!
120 And as for us, who cannot rest, you do not love us!
121 Consider our burden, our eyes are hollow.
122 Break the immovable yoke that we may sleep.
123 Make battle, avenge them!
124 [ . . ] . . . . reduce to nothingness!
125 Tia-mat heard, the speech pleased her,
126 (She said,) "Let us make demons, [as you] have advised."
127 The gods assembled within her.
128 They conceived [evil] against the gods their begetters.
129 They . . . . . and took the side of Tia-mat,
130 Fiercely plotting, unresting by night and day,
131 Lusting for battle, raging, storming,
132 They set up a host to bring about conflict.
133 Mother H(ubur, who forms everything,
134 Supplied irresistible weapons, and gave birth to giant serpents.
135 They had sharp teeth, they were merciless . . . .
136 With poison instead of blood she filled their bodies.
137 She clothed the fearful monsters with dread,
138 She loaded them with an aura and made them godlike.
139 (She said,) "Let their onlooker feebly perish,
140 May they constantly leap forward and never retire."
141 She created the Hydra, the Dragon, the Hairy Hero
142 The Great Demon, the Savage Dog, and the Scorpion-man,
143 Fierce demons, the Fish-man, and the Bull-man,
144 Carriers of merciless weapons, fearless in the face of battle.
145 Her commands were tremendous, not to be resisted.
146 Altogether she made eleven of that kind.
147 Among the gods, her sons, whom she constituted her host,
148 She exalted Qingu, and magnified him among them.
149 The leadership of the army, the direction of the host,
150 The bearing of weapons, campaigning, the mobilization of conflict,
151 The chief executive power of battle, supreme command,
152 She entrusted to him and set him on a throne,
153 "I have cast the spell for you and exalted you in the host of the gods,
154 I have delivered to you the rule of all the gods.
155 You are indeed exalted, my spouse, you are renowned,
156 Let your commands prevail over all the Anunnaki."
157 She gave him the Tablet of Destinies and fastened it to his breast,
158 (Saying) "Your order may not be changed; let the utterance of your mouth be firm."
159 After Qingu was elevated and had acquired the power of Anuship,
160 He decreed the destinies for the gods, her sons:
161 "May the utterance of your mouths subdue the fire-god,
162 May your poison by its accumulation put down aggression."

Is there going to be any more issues of this? Was interesting,! Shame that after the initial hype has died down, forum activity seemingly has died down too!
