    Chaps. a little while ago we were discussing a monthly news letter.. I was thinking that anyone can add their articles.. new mods that you have released,Videos. art work, anything you think is a contribution to the betterment of TWC which would give anyone a wider audience when you release it.. exciting debates taking place.. historical articles..content you have contributed... I'm open to suggestions chaps... and we can send a monthly letter to keep our members appraised of whats going on and generally whats going on in TWC!

    Here it is the first edition of The Oracle


    What ho chaps...
    Well I have the pleasure to announce the first Edition of "The Oracle.
    Our society has over 200 members now so we thought it important to let members know what is going on in the society and on TWC as well.
    Its a splendid way to keep in touch Ill warrant.
    The idea is not only to communicate with our members.. but to let other members know of what our members can do on TWC, whether it is modding, artistic talents, debating skills or any other avenue that contribute positively to TWC.

    The Oracle first broadsheet Edition (large file)








    I have completed this first edition by myself I am no expert and there are better 2D artists amongst our members who are much more expert than I, I should very much like some help with this chaps, perhaps one of you is experienced in publishing matters?
    Anyone may contribute, perhaps a satirical piece?, a joke.. a funny cartoon? political writing? articles about mods or artwork.. there is much to consider chaps.
    As I say this is just some ideas I had..perhaps the format can be changed? I am quite willing to hand over the job of head editor if anyone is interested?
    Going forward I had an idea that we may publish out side of the society.. who knows, lets see.
    Discuss it here...

    An outstanding collection of literature we've got here, chaps! Perhaps I shall submit my own article in a later issue. Keep up the good work, Duffers!

    Both male and female walruses have tusks and have been observed using these overgrown teeth to help pull themselves out of the water.

    The mustached and long-tusked walrus is most often found near the Arctic Circle, lying on the ice with hundreds of companions. These marine mammals are extremely sociable, prone to loudly bellowing and snorting at one another, but are aggressive during mating season. With wrinkled brown and pink hides, walruses are distinguished by their long white tusks, grizzly whiskers, flat flipper, and bodies full of blubber.
    Walruses use their iconic long tusks for a variety of reasons, each of which makes their lives in the Arctic a bit easier. They use them to haul their enormous bodies out of frigid waters, thus their "tooth-walking" label, and to break breathing holes into ice from below. Their tusks, which are found on both males and females, can extend to about three feet (one meter), and are, in fact, large canine teeth, which grow throughout their lives. Male walruses, or bulls, also employ their tusks aggressively to maintain territory and, during mating season, to protect their harems of females, or cows.
    The walrus' other characteristic features are equally useful. As their favorite meals, particularly shellfish, are found near the dark ocean floor, walruses use their extremely sensitive whiskers, called mustacial vibrissae, as detection devices. Their blubbery bodies allow them to live comfortably in the Arctic region—walruses are capable of slowing their heartbeats in order to withstand the polar temperatures of the surrounding waters.
    The two subspecies of walrus are divided geographically. Atlantic walruses inhabit coastal areas from northeastern Canada to Greenland, while Pacific walruses inhabit the northern seas off Russia and Alaska, migrating seasonally from their southern range in the Bering Sea—where they are found on the pack ice in winter—to the Chukchi Sea. Female Pacific walruses give birth to calves during the spring migration north.
    Only Native Americans are currently allowed to hunt walruses, as the species' survival was threatened by past overhunting. Their tusks, oil, skin, and meat were so sought after in the 18th and 19th centuries that the walrus was hunted to extinction in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and around Sable Island, off the coast of Nova Scotia.

    Quality stuff indeed chaps. Oldgamer's account of Onkel Heini was absolutely fascinating indeed. Brilliant articles and the like. I did a review of "Animal Farm" and would like to pose a question. Is the current world climate likening to this satire again or no...what say you?....Not wanting a political debate...just wanting to see what some think...and all that.

    Thanks matey.. just letting people know if the pages of the Oracle are too big for your display.. pressing Ctrl and minus - makes the display smaller. When finished reading you can put your display back by pressing Ctrl and plus +
    Works wonders, I know everyone knows that right? well you'll be surprised at how many people dont

    I was at a friend's house and got permission to spend the night there, when I felt that I'd made the wrong choice and prayed about it being the right one to stay at the friend's house. I still felt it wasn't, so I called for a ride home. I got home seven minutes after my mother died. Don't ing tell me that there is no God.
