Rown Missed opportunity
 

In a missed opportunity Morticon, local wallaby and SED leader lost an opportunity to vanquish most of the Centaur population all at once while they were gathered in the Rose Garden. He didn’t notice the chance until it was too late and he had to scram elsewhere.

"Drat!"  He whined, "My chance to get rid of most of the centaur heroes... but alas, I won't be on for a long time until tomorrow."

"A *real* Super-Villain would already have a plan for just such a contingency." Argon, local Centaur and SpinDizzy paper editor replied.

"Yeah, it's called minions. :P" Morticon countered but since his minions are still on strike he didn’t have anyone to send to do his bidding. Of course there is no doubt that since it’ll be a SED plan that he would use against the Centaurs it would most certainly fail.

In other SED news,  it has been reported that Morticon has been burning the letters “SED” in various areas of the muck. (See SED Press Release next)  The reasons why are unknown at this time but there is speculation that he thinks he owns SpinDizzy and is branding SED’s label everywhere he can. Other speculation is that he’s involved in an SED spelling “B” but it was brought up that SED members can’t get past the letter “A” so a spelling “B” would be too hard for them.

SED Press Release: Morticon Marks Spindizzy as belonging to the SED!
  Morticon, evil wallaby and head of the SED, has announced that he now owns SpinDizzy. "Going on the common practice of putting your name on things that belong to you (expensive machines, electronics, tools, etc), I have burned the words 'SED' over a large portion of the SpinDizzy map. This means that I now own SpinDizzy. Soon, I shall announce the changes that will be taking place," announced Morticon. To see the letters for yourself, Go to the rose garden, go north once and read the descriptions. The letters continue eastward.

@Action News Info Guidelines and Procedures for Submitting Articles
  Submitting a story or artwork for @Action News is easy!  Just send it to newspaper@spindizzy.org, or qmail or page Argon about it.

Most any type of story or article will be accepted.  Generally, we'd prefer things that aren't out and out lies or flames about other folks, and have a basis in the reality of SpinDizzy. Things that occur in public areas are fair game. The things reported don't have to have actually happened, (Any more than anything that happens here does.) but make sure you don't overstep the social boundaries and rules of interaction that we have.  These are pretty broad guidelines, but we expect good sense to apply. 

Thanks!
