18th November 2001
In the latest clan shake-up, old rivals Boom and TkDire have
recently completed their merger in a bid to combine their
strengths in order to compete against the increasingly monolithic
NO clan. The combined entity will be known as TkBoom, and will be
run by Yogsothoth from TkDire as Overlord and Flik from Boom as
Chieftain.
In other news, Clan Acid has been forced to disband after a
prolonged recruitment crisis and the breakdown of negotiations
with TkDire.
LOD Rolls Out Heavy Guns
18th August 2001
During the last month or so, Turfers have been able to relax in
safety while the more agressive factions within the Legion of Doom
clan have been mysteriously absent. However, confidential reports
leaked from within the LOD high command indicate that clan members
have been undergoing tank-driving training!
Initial reactions from other clans included suprise and concern
at this latest development, which may shift the balance of power
within Turf, making LOD even more violent and deadly than
before!
Trouble For Clans Acid And Spyder
6th July 2001
The future of Clan Acid was recently put in doubt by the shock
resignation of their overlord and chieftain, Bluevelvet and Kano.
During a subsequent press conference, Bluevelvet cited personal
reasons for her departure, including stress and the investment of
time required to run the clan properly. Kano was not available for
comment.
Despite their impressive achievements in terms of clan score,
dissatisfaction and unrest also continues with Spyder, now led by
Pawn, who has managed to survive a further no-confidence vote
since his recent take-over of the clan.
News Resigns As Chieftain
6th July 2001
News has recently chosen to resign from his role as Acting
Chieftain of the clan, though his home will remain the official
H.Q. and command centre for the forseeable future. Starman and the
rest of the TkDire clan would like to take the opportunity to
thank News for his tireless enthusiasm and efforts, often in the
face of adversity.
On a related topic, TkDire has recently launched a mysterious new
competition said to involve fishing and gardening. The details
are available only to clan members. Is this related to the search
for a new chieftain? Only time will tell!
Enemy Clans In Disarray
2nd June 2001
The turmoil amongst the clans continues with a number of bitter
power struggles and infighting. Alf, who built up Spyder into
Turf's most powerful and feared PK clan has been sacked as
overlord as a result of a rumoured coup by second-in-command Pawn,
who looks set to win the forthcomming election to find a new
leader.
Meanwhile, things took a turn for the worse for Joan of Arc's
French Army when a group of rebels took control of the clan and
threw her out. The clan has now been disbanded.
TkDire Competition Winners
2nd June 2001
Congratulations to our competition winners, who have won
promotions through their bravery and achievements in battle.
Yogosothoth wins promotion to Clan Hero, plus a further temporary
promotion to Acting Sub-Chieftain for his player-killing skill.
Amongst other exploits, he managed to kill AnimalLover, overlord
of the Legion of Doom on at least two occasions during the course
of the competition.
Our new recruit Guster wins promotion to Clan Hero for his
mobile-killing skill, having gained more clan points than any
other member despite his late entry into the competition. An extra
award of Clan Hero rank has also been given to Xena for her
prowess in combat.
Clan Shake-Up
25th May 2001
The demise of the Beatles occured towards the start of a period
of turmoil amongst the clans during which a number of famous and
long-standing clans such as Burn, RunHide and Admin/Thunder have
also been disbanded. The immutable Joan of Arc has arrived on the
scene to rally her armies to fill the vacuum.
Things have also been happening at TkDire: We have obtained
several new recruits, including mad bomber Yogsothoth, the strange
but very able Guster and none other than Xena, Warrior Princess!
Clan Acid has also emerged as a force to be reckoned with, mainly
due to the magnificent contribution of former Beatle, Kano (who
singlehandedly accounts for over 80% of their total score at the
time of writing), while LOD continues to make steady progress
whilst causing a fair bit of mayhem.
Beatles Disbanded
22nd April 2001
The Beatles, one of the highest-ranking Turf clans has recently
been disbanded as its overlord defected to Acid.
Originally founded by Judus, the Beatles were later run by the
one-man army Kano, hailed as one of the greatest heros of Turf.
The Beatles were renound for their taste in music. (Theme song:
"Hey, Judus" by The Beatles). They had a laid-back, pacifist
attiude to inter-clan violence and were on friendly terms with
TkDire.
Clan Acid To Make A Comeback
20th April 2001
Clan Acid, long thought to have been abandonned, has recently
had a large influx of new members - primarily players who have
resigned or been exiled from other clans.
The clan is currently in a state of anarchy, though BlueVelvet is
hotly tipped to seize control within the next few days and become
the next overlord. In an exclusive interview, BlueVelvet has
hinted at plans for an ambitious programme of sweeping changes
designed to transform Acid once more into an elite fighting
force.
News Gets A Promotion
2nd April 2001
As our more violent of our opponents will have already noticed to
their disappointment, TkDire has temporarily switched to
non-player killing mode. The reason for this is to allow our
troops, who have until recently been engaged in inter-clan battles
to gain some levels and replenish their strength.
To all you lower-level players (level 15 and above) out there:
