Welcome to this week's recap:

Firsts For The New World:

• The crazed scientists of Hycliffe have discovered a new process for the artificial production of emeralds, long thought to be only naturally occurring and long in scarcity, they have dubbed this process as "Artificery". From this process a new revolution has sprung, it is now feasible to feed entire populations from little.
• Engineers from Ravensdale have perfected the use of steam power and have taken to the skies with new so called "biplanes". Governments and private military have already begun to theorize how these will change the nature of war.

In Lieu of a Newspaper:

• The Brunfyrd Althing becomes the first nation to create a wiki page
• The Great Platland Reich Railway has been opened connecting the various towns of the expanding Venalian Volkstate together
• GrimCorp connects the western and eastern continents with an intercontinental railway
• Kaijdo mobilized and proceeded to attack Zwerg city. Zwerg city would use unconventional tactics to successfully defend with both sides later claiming victory.
• Metropol has begun the construction of a casino before later relocating to a new location dubbed Neuvo Metropol
• A new coalition of nations named the Grand Confederacy have begun to develop a joint railway network connecting: Kingdom of Austrius, Inafuwa, Drakoria, and the Caliphate

Server Metastuff (Boring Boo):

• I (Kali) am looking for someone interested in doing video production for GrimurRP, ideally for me this is a start to finish process. For the right candidate compensation would be provided and this would be a long-term relationship.
• I would like to extend a thank you to all players and especially to our donators for their support, I'm looking forward to a strong 2024 for GrimurRP and want to continue expanding and perfect the server.

Cool Statistics:

• There have been 3483 Emeralds produced to date.

More importantly though this is a chance to stock up on cosmetics http://shop.grimurrp.com/category/387694 which will take time to be made (weapon skins, hats, custom music discs/flags etc). If you do opt to donate pre-launch make a ticket first as I need to test with someone if my payment processing is working as intended.

We're also running an invite competition until December 14th on the Discord. The rewards will be as follows:

1. $100 USD store credit.
