~**Players of the Month**~

~**Earth Servers**~
Player of the month earth for this month is – Mitsuki for her excellent leadership skills leading NAM in the war on E3. It has taken guts to face them head on while others may have panicked and disbanded. I hope to see more alliances lead by you in the future!


~**Mars Servers**~
FreeBird

Congratulations Freebird for dominating the scoreboard last era on M4 with first place and your amazing activity while fighting the elements with your alliance SYN.



~**Fantasy Servers**~
Luvformypit

After leading WWs for 3 consecutive winning eras Luvformypit is leading WWs for a 4th win in the Fantasy Realm. Only a combination of great leadership skills, politics and strategy can bring an alliance to 4 consecutive wins. Who is willing to go and step into his path?

~**Earth Servers**~
Alliance of the month earth for this month is.... NAM on E3! Congratulations on your successful push against the rank one alliance, ignoring overwhelming odds. Great job guys, good luck


~**Mars Servers**~
SWAT
After a really long time of break and retirement the Old Client Alliance SWAT is back and running. Fully consisting of the old Client SWAT roster they seem to be enjoying their new round while owning the heavy storms of Mars. Even if not top alliance they still rule the game on their own way, having the Fun of their returning lives.



~**Fantasy Servers**~
ABEL

ABEL is back after a long break and this time they are dominating the era once again. With their tactics and teamwork, they have steamrolled over other alliances near them while entering NAPS or treaties with the other big alliances. A few wars have been started with them but most of them were ended within 150 ticks. They look set to win the era again. No one who played this era on F6 shall forget ABEL easily.

~**Galaxy Servers**~

NL/V5

They had a good start in the era as the second rank alliance. They had a good system of allies near them including FOX(HTD) G,G(TNE) and TBK. And despite losing the mid-era war to the ranks 1 alliance, GAD, they did not give up and continued to rebuild. They then crushed GX2 and LION in a short skirmish. And went on to destroy a GAD sub in a final war before the end of the era. Despite finishing a mere 6th place, NL shall not be forgotten easily by the players of G2.

So, this time the chance comes four our newest Moderator Ferr3t, who has had a flash pass through the Maintenance Team to the Junior Staff and now, official moderation in forums.

S: Hello there Ferret, how are you?

F: I'm quite fine thank-you

S: Enjoying a good time then? Dont you have work to do? As Maintenance Team and Moderation Staff I'd imagine you'd have lots of work to do

F: Well, I've acually been working quite hard lately.. Two eras, doing work for the Maintenance Team AND doing mod work! I just spent two days writing an extensive guide to modding.. Hope it helps out the Jrs or I will be very, very mad. Fortunatly for me, I've got quite a lot of time on my hands and I enjoy helping out.

S: I'm assuming then that you are either young and you are enjoying vacations time or you are an old lazy not working war veteran

F: Hehe, as tempting as it sounds to chose the second option, I'll be hounest with you. I'm a 15 year old school student enjoying a 2 week holiday

S: So you are you are young AND helpful, thats a pretty strange combination these days I must say. I suppose it's been tough for you to climb the moderation ranks so fast as you have

F: Hehe, you would be surprised how hard many of us are willing to work if the incentive is there! All of these promotions are actually quite unexpected! I was almost perma banned from the forums almost 6 months ago, now I'm taking record time for the transition from Jr to full mod! It required hard work but was defiantly worth it.

S: I must say I'm quite surprised to read that and I'm sure I'm not the only one. From ALMOST perma-banned to form part of the official Moderation team...

I suppose you were a real mess before becoming a Moderator right? why were you almost perma banned?

F: Well, it's quite a long story.. In short, I had an argument with one of the previous Head Mods which got me into a little bit of a sticky situation, 7 official board warnings and no way out of it.. Then, Simmen came to my rescue by cooling things down.. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here today

S: So I assume Simmen was the one responsible for your introduction to the Moderation team, did he recruited you?

F: Well, right before I was recruited I had recovered the Battle Dawn Wiki after a troublesome ex-mod erased everything - Simmen knew that I was looking to join the Maintenance Team so he suggested to Tom (The Head Mod) that I was to be recruited. Tom went the extra mile and invited me into modship if I cleaned up my act.. I was so surprised I almost fell out of my chair.

S: I'm sure you are not the only one that fell out of the chair Then, after such a troublesome past have you been seen as the black sheep among the Moderation Staff?

F: Luckily for me, I was welcomed in with open arms. I think some people had some doubts about me but they were quickly squished.. Deep inside, I really am a nice guy (Atleast I think I am.. 0_o)

S: Now, now, you seem like a good guy after all, from a mess to a rule enforcer, what a change!

S: Do you have had such drastic changes in real life too? As a teenager I'm willing to bet you do

F: Oh that's a big yes.. I feel that after gaining the responsibility my maturity has atleast doubled.. (Or it might be the other way around.. No way to know ) I've also seen my spelling improve. The only con would be all the time it takes, less time for homework which means I have to compensate with my recreation time..

S: I suppose you sacrifice your hobbies time then?

F: Are you crazy?! This is my hobby!

S: Don't you like sports? I'm sure our readers would like to know more about your personal life

F: I'm quite a basketball fanatic at school and I'm approaching a red belt in Taekwondo.. *wuah!* But this takes up MUCH more time than either of those two combined

S: So your life has had a 180º turn since you joined the team but still have a big chunck of reality taste, thats nice.

S: And, your family doesnt say anything about your newest hobby?

F: Fortunately, my parents thinks it's good for me - says it's making me a better person to deal with.. My sister doesn't really have any feelings towards BD AFTER she got herself a laptop..

S: You cannot expect everyone in the family to like the same things do you?

S: I'm sure you are a great BattleDawn player too right? Any tip you want to give to the community readers?

F: Stay active, never give up and check out the Adopt-A-Newb Centre if you're constantly having troubles

S: With this we finish our current Month interview, thanks Ferr3t for your time and patience and until next time Tribune readers and good night

F: Hehe, no worries! Good night from Australia

A sandwich walks into a bar and asks the barman for a drink.
The barman says..."Sorry, we don't serve food here."


A man was drinking at a bar and the bartender came over to tell him he had a visitor waiting for him outside the bar.
He had just bought another large beer and he didn"t want anyone to drink it.
So, he wrote a little sign on a piece of paper and left it by his beer that said: "I spit in my beer."
When he returned to his bar stool there was another note beside his beer: "I spit in your beer too!"


A monkey goes into a bar and asks the barman:
- Do you have any bananas?
- No,I don't. ( says the barman)
- Do you have any bananas? (asks the monkey)
- No,I have not got any bananas!!!
- Do you have any bananas?
- If you ask me that question one more time, I'll nail your tongue to the counter!!!
- Do you have any nails?
- No,I don't.
- Do you have any bananas?


A very attractive woman goes up to the bar in a quiet rural pub. She gestures alluringly to the bartender, who comes over immediately.
When he arrives, she seductively signals that he should bring his face closer to hers. When he does so, she begins to gently caress his full beard.
"Are you the manager?" she asks, softly stroking his face with both hands.
"Actually, no" the man replies. "Can you get him for me?" she asks. "I need to speak to him," she says, running her hands beyond his beard and into his hair.
"I'm afraid I can't", breathes the bartender. "Is there anything I can do?" "Yes, there is. I need you to give him a message" she continues huskily, popping a couple of fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them gently.
"What should I tell him?" the bartender manages to say.
"Tell him", she whispers, "There is no toilet paper or hand soap in the woman's room."


Man goes to the doctors and sayes 'doctor, I cant stop my hands from shaking !' Doctor replies 'do you drink much ?' Man says 'no, I spill most of it !'
