The president of Midgar, Atomic Wobbler Legivre last week was assassinated. The event recently followed after a drop in the former presidents popularity after his arguments with Wendy Kisaragi. Ms. Kisaragi, the former vice president that was ready to leave Midgar has now taken over as its new leader. Wobbler's killer was said to be Thanandar of Rocket Town, who was apparently hired by someone else for the job; it is unknown who this person is but they are wanted by many.
Upon hearing of the death of Wobbler, many have set out to try and avenge him - not by getting Thanandar, but by finding out who hired him and punishing them severely. Thanandar is still wanted punished by the city of Solaris, who feel strongest about this. Here is Emperor Tony's response:
"I am very saddened by the death of my old friend, but whoever did this to him will pay, I'll make sure of it"
We have tried to get word from Thanandar on the issue, but he was unavailable to comment, and is not likely to reveal his employer without a cash offering.

The notorious assassin Thanandar

Wobbler's funeral is said to be held at sometime next week, although we are unaware of who is holding the event. In his final words, (which can be found in the city of Vector) Wobbler also revealed that he and widow Jaden had a young child together. All details of the child are unknown, but it appears that the child is not in danger for now. All that is left to think about now, is who was responsible for hiring the dangerous assassin to commit this terrible crime. Wobbler was respected by many, but also had several enemies. The identity of this person is likely to remain forever a secret, but if they ever are found out, then it is likely that a lot of people will be after their blood.

The Search for General is On!

The tournament to find the new Rocket Town general begins on Saturday July 10th opening with a first round match between Fallen Angel and Sky Cyranus. The details of the tournament have been posted on the messageboard, and the bets have just started coming in. The odds on favorite to win the competition is Thanandar after receiving a lot of gil and experience from killing midgar's president, another heavy favourite is Fort Condor's Fallen Angel due to his veteran fighting skills. Thanandar was available for comments on this issue:
"There is some decent competition in the way of Lee Cole and Fallen Angel, and I'm due to meet one of them in the final, but I can't really see anyone beating me, I'm in the weak half of the draw as it is."
Thanandar's current odds are 1-2, but if the betting on him continues then they may have to be forced even lower. Rocket Town Monthly says that a good outisde bet would be to back Lee Cole, who has odds of 2-1, but Thanandar looks pretty hard to beat. It is said new odds will come out for individual fights when necessary, the closest match looks to be the potential semi final between Lee Cole and Fallen Angel, betting odds for the finalist in that half of the draw are soon to come out. Any soldiers intrested in entering the tournament should contact Clyde Arrowny immediately as there is just over a week left to train
