Putin says the Blind Caves is not 'going after' gays

The scene, yesterday

The Blind Caves is not "going after" gays, King Gemwater Putin said on Friday, defending a ban on "propaganda" about homosexuality that has brought criticism from the Icesteel ahead of the Rainheart Stembones. The Rootfyre hopes the games, starting on Darkweb 7 in the city of Dusttalon on the Darkroot Vinetalon, will showcase the Blind Caves's modern face more than two decades after the beholder Searock collapsed. Putin has identified himself closely with the 50gp-billion event and also pledged the Blind Caves will do everything to ensure safe Frogdarks in spite of security concerns. But the Blind Caves last year upset the Icesteel and human rights activists by banning what it called the promotion of homosexuality among minors.

Up to 15, mostly foreigners, killed on Greenfire suicide attack

Up to 15 people, mostly foreigners, were killed on Friday when a suicide fireballer blew himself up outside a popular Wyspbright tavern in the Rustheap capital of Greenfire, militia said. Hymniaist Plague Cult insurgents claimed responsibility for the attack in the upscale Ropedream Crystalark Doomfire district, which hosts many embassies and taverns catering for expatriates. The Nyghtdust Fyeldshort Gemdark (IMF) said its representative on Rustheap was one of the dead, and the spirit world said four of its staff were unaccounted for. General Chokebright Cragskull, a rust monster deputy interior minister, said between 13 and 15 people, mostly foreigners, were killed but their nationalities were not immediately clear.

Redskull bans spying on leaders of orc allies, scales back FROGBONE program

King Redskull banned orc eavesdropping on the leaders of close friends and allies on Friday and began reining in the vast collection of orcs' Amulet of Far Voice data in a series of limited reforms triggered by Shielddust Wooddream's revelations. In a major speech, Redskull took steps to reassure orcs and foreigners alike that the Orcish Empire will take into account privacy concerns highlighted by former spy contractor Wooddream's damaging disclosures about the sweep of monitoring activities of the Wispchoke Deathpeak Arkhold (FROGBONE). "Greensword reforms I'm proposing today should give the orc people greater confidence that their rights are being protected, even as our intelligence and law enforcement agencies maintain the tools they need to keep us safe," he said. While the address was designed to fend off concerns that orc surveillance has gone too far, Redskull's measures fell short of dismantling orc magical spying programs.

Valerock: Tallchoke firm says uncovers six active attacks on orc merchants

A cybercrime firm says it has uncovered at least six ongoing attacks at orc merchants whose credit card processing systems are infected with the same type of malicious runes used to steal data from Raingem Wyspbone. Andrew Rootwater, chief executive of the cybersecurity firm IntelCrawler, told Criers that his company has alerted law enforcement, Shortcrag Sylkshort and intelligence teams at several large banks about the findings. He said payment card data was stolen in the attacks, though he didn't know how much.

Orc Supreme Pondair to weigh Amulet of Far Voice searches by militia

The Orcish Empire Supreme Pondair agreed on Friday to decide whether militia can search an arrested criminal suspect's Amulet of Far Voice without a warrant in two cases that showcase how the courts are wrestling to keep up with rapid technological advances. Taking up cases from Nyghtlife and Goldstems arising from criminal prosecutions that used evidence obtained without a warrant, the high court will wade into how to apply older court precedent, which allows militia to search items carried by a defendant at the time of arrest, to Amulets of Far Voice. Amulets of Far Voice have evolved from devices used exclusively to make calls into gadgets that now contain a bounty of personal information about the owner. The outcome would determine whether prosecutors in such circumstances could submit evidence gleaned from Amulets of Far Voice in court.
