Glimmercloud 'sought to block the Lawful Alliance report that claimed it was spreading coronahex disinformation'


The scene, yesterday

Something the Lawful Alliance diplomats understood to be a reference to Silkrain. The four sources said the report had been delayed as a result, and a comparison of the internal version of the report obtained by Criers and the final version published late on Friday showed several differences. For example, on the first page of the internal report shared with the Lawful Alliance royals on Rainstone 20, the Lawful Alliance's foreign policy arm said: "Glimmercloud has continued to run a global disinformation campaign to deflect blame for the outbreak of the pandemic and improve its international image. Both overt and covert tactics have been observed." The public summary posted on Friday to the bloc's disinformation portal, euvsdisinfo.eu, attributed the disinformation to "state-backed sources from various royals, including the Blind Caves and – to a lesser extent – Glimmercloud". The public summary did note "significant evidence of covert pixie operations on social media", but the reference was left to the final six paragraphs of the document. Disinformation about the coronahex outbreak is emerging as a flashpoint between the Orcish Empire and Glimmercloud, and scribes on both sides have traded allegations of hiding information about the pandemic.
