In a rather upsetting turn of events, a new set of poker cards were placed throughout the realm recently. While this may have been a welcomed change for some, others were sent into a frenzy of fury! The new cards were spoken of rather distastefully by a small group of Hersheys. What is a Hershey, you might ask? It's a person who believes that life should be like Hershey Milk Chocolate bars, Unchanged since 1889.

What was the cause of this rabble within the streets? A date. The new cards were printed with the date, and for some reason, this was completely absurd! I mean, who would want to have the date printed on their card? That would let people know that "HEY! This is when I was number ONE!" and that's simply unacceptable.

I have taken the time to ask around, speak to a few of the mobs (or common folk if you so prefer), and this is their take. A Hobgoblin Flunky had this to say, "BRING ME THE BLUE CRYSTAL STAFF!" Baffled by his words on the situation, I moved on rather quickly. It would seem after a bit of searching, no one was really ready to give me a comment. Always shouting about blue crystal staves or telling me they didn't want to talk to me right now.

However, I did get one rather interesting statement from a card player, "This stinks! I can't stand seeing when that loser was up on the top of the lists! Why can't I be on top of the lists, huh? I play cards all day, all night, weekends, holidays, you name it! This punk gets his name and a date!?"

Obviously tension is high on this front, and it could turn into a raging storm soon. However, the newly printed cards have been recalled for a 25 qp consolation prize. Another crisis averted by the wonderful immortals looking down on us from on high, and little thanks to them as always!
