The first visit from the Bureaucrat was seen today.  The Bureaucrat has  bonuses to trade for RED TAPE. The sequence of HUD events shown as follows:

There's RED TAPE Everywhere!

Very recently there has been reports of mysterious RED TAPE appearing all over the TE3K Universe!  When you  buy or sell a ship you get one, five from the Mysterious Black Diamond Vessel. It's looking like from almost any activity at this time!  What is it for?  No one knows yet...  Below is the one I got for buying a ship, and how it appears in your accounting tab.

Incoming Finds:

Nathalie Schnute: I just got 5 RED TAPES for doing the call of leadership, Step 2. That's the one with the hydro farm cultures. And I got the colonists increase as given in former times too. Cost for that step is 400000000. But 5 red tapes is amazing.

Have your own theory or know something we don't yet?  Got RED TAPES from some odd place? Please Leave a comment, or IM Alamiga Anatine in Second Life, if you think it warrants a new post!

Robyn Hirano Launches 33rd Guild!

January 19, 2012 Today Robyn Hirano  initiated the launch of Tiny Empires 3000's 33rd Guild, calling it the Andromeda Alliance.  She ascended from Hades Revolution. The news was announced as such:

Nov 3993] Guildleader Robyn Hirano formed the guild "Andromeda Alliance".

[Mar 3994] Rebel Queen Tia Antwerp left her old superior Guildleader Toohey Paneer of Hades Revolution and joined with Guildleader Robyn Hirano of Andromeda Alliance.

[Apr 3994] Robyn Hirano now leads one of the top ten guilds in the sector.

I asked Robyn for a quote upon her ascension, she said:

Is there truth in the myth?
Do phoenixes exist?
Resurrection of the Rebellion in Andromeda!

Congratulations Robyn and The Andromeda Alliance!
