FOR URGENT AND IMMEDIATE RELEASE!

PAXOKU, HOMARE-JIMA, TOKUNO - December 19, 2005

Mayor Winfield called an emergency session of the PaxLair Alliance tonight after a Rebellion in PaxOku attacked after the PaxLair meeting.  Rebels [PxR] have attacked citizens and alliance members in PaxOku.  Their demands are of an evil nature as they are 'displeased' with PaxLair and PaxOku leadership.

Paladin Cross MacLeod will be leading the defense, intelligence, and attacks if necessary against the Rebels.

PaxOku is the ONLY area threatened.  PxR [is a member of the alliance, and only those in that guild are the 'enemies'.  Meeting PxR in other cities outside PaxOku is NOT a combat environment.]  If one encounters a Rebel outside of PaxOku, or even in PaxOku, try to capture the person for more information.  Defend oneself if attacked upon [but attacks are not to be outside PaxOku; in PaxOku, attack with discretion; this is not a free-for-all.]

There are some bilaterally declared neutral areas in PaxOku, meaning no attacks.  These are the PaxOku Vendor House and the Auction House.

Mayor Winfield will meet once again with the PaxLair Alliance at 9 PM ET, Tuesday, Dec 20 in the PaxOku City Hall for updates on the situation.  Protection of the City Hall is paramount.

Also, Viceroy Gareth is known to be captured by the Rebels and Mayor Winfield has assumed the Viceroyship of PaxOku until Gareth's safe return.

Mayor Winfield met with the Mayor of Zento, who was under the impression that the PaxLair Army attacked Zento earlier tonight, when they captured Viceroy Gareth.  The Mayor of Zento immediately sent more than a thousand troops against PaxLair cities in retaliation. Once Mayor Winfield explained the situation with the Rebels, the Mayor of Zento recalled his armies.

More will be reported soon.
