 Tobyland Dinosaurs invades Pirate Island. By the Briefcase Recently, we have received a declaration that Tobyland Dinosaurs had invaded Pirate's Island. Now, just to clarify, the declaration didn't say that Tobyland Dinosaurs was invading  Pirate's Island. It didn't say that it started invading  Pirate's Island. The truth is that it had already started last Monday. Now, you may be wondering, "Why haven't I heard anything about this?" Well, to answer that question, it was because all of the news was preoccupied with the Porvalavian Invasion. You see, it turns out from reports that Bear intentional made a big fuss out of this whole Porvalavian Invasion sort of thing as a sort of distraction from the actions of Tobyland Dinosaurs. It also turned out that Eriliniland easily had the military capabilities to push out Porvalavis. Why didn't anybody realize that before, I have no idea. But the moment it was suitable politically, Bear called out his armies...

Monkey, the Curiousiter, has been Captured. This interesting development has occurred due to a previous piece of news, which stated that Bear's house was surrounded and Monkey was trapped inside. Very little information is known at this point. Screams and shouts have been heard from the backyard of Bear's house. Reporters say that the vast majority of the screams have a Porvalavian accent. Some screams, though, are predicted to come from Monkey. One such example is when the shout "I will never give in! WE WILL CONQUER!" came on, in an Eriliniland accent. The Porvalavians are reportedly having quite a hard time keeping control. Many major news media sources have published statements on this, saying that they "neither condemn nor endorse this divisive controversy." Zebra, though, has applauded this situation as a grand move for democracy. This is a breaking news article. We will post further updates later.

The Siege of Bear By the Hat Porvalavis, a tiny Island in the ocean somewhere, recently declared war on Eriliniland, with the goals of taking over the entire continent. After their armies advanced, they met relatively little resistance. The massive armies of Porvalavis marched on, heeding not the laughter by which everyone laughed in a laughable way. Recently, though, reporters have reported that Porvalavian military units have surrounded Bear's Mansion. According to reports, Porvalavians have "Muddied the front mat, painted the fence, smashed the windows, and attempted to break down the door." Bear has responded by barring the windows, barricading the door, and pouring several pounds of extremely sticky honey on his assailants. According to insiders inside the locked-up home, Bear is using the bees and ants that work for his beehive to cause havoc against the invaders. Several of Bear's servants are reportedly committing "war crimes," such as tossing pots a...

 BREAKING: Porvalavis declares war on Eriliniland By the Briefcase Porvalavis, an island in the Ocean out there somewhere, has officially invaded Eriliniland. They have mobilized their massive forces (about fifty, I believe) and even their reserves, numbering a hundred. Already, they have sailed into Northern Eriliniland, with their pots and spatulas and broomsticks. Porvalavian intelligences are on the spot, figuring out exactly who and why to attack. The Porvalavian Navy also moved into position, "blockading" the entire Northern Military port with Surfboards, Canoes, and Sailboats. This is estimated to have a very extraordinarily moderate impact, since three boats have rammed through the blockade already. Porvalavis has published their military goals: 1. To conquer the entire Eriliniland 2. To control Northern Eriliniland. 3. To control Southern Eriliniland. 4. To capture all Eriliniland cities. 5. To cement their position as a stronger world power than they actually are. P...

   In the grand fortress of Wind's Door, above the second flight of stairs, is a great room of Stone. Stone benches surround the room. Atop these benches, mossy blankets are placed, and the Five Authors of the Midnight Dagger, as well as Admiral Zebra, take their seats. Lion:  Hello, everyone. We have with us over here Zebra, second chief junior petty admiral officer superior of the Royal petty chief Coastguard of Port City. He is the first and third person to hold that title, after his cousin, who was the second person to hold such a title. He also has a degree of propaganda from Porvalavis. As well as this, he was personally tutored by Sargus the Perplexed Himself, receiving the Award of Stupidity and Idiocy.  Let us introduce ourselves. I am Lionel Leonard Lionheart the Third, the First Lord of the Admiralty. I hold the world record for PhDs, topping fifty-five last month. I have a degree in political science from the University of Port City (before its downfall) ...

   Breaking: Zebra consents to an interview with the Midnight Dagger. By the editorial board of the Midnight Dagger After a recent spar that occurred between the Midnight Dagger and the Portvalatvian Times, which was spearheaded by The Mantle and Zebra, we got tired and decided to take a break. As we were munching on venison and pies, the Mantle suddenly thought of a brilliant joke. We would send Zebra a request for an interview. We drafted it as follows: Hello, Zebra. This is The Crown, The Mantle, The Hat, The Umbrella, and The Briefcase. We are the editorial board of the Midnight Dagger. We have decided to invite you to an interview. If you do not accept, the Skies will turn purple, the Grass will taste like Mustard, the Trees will turn yellow, and we will all call you stupid again. We intended this purely as a joke, and we drafted our apologies beforehand. But then, contrary to all expectations,  Zebra accepted.  This surprising development took us all by shock. ...

 An apology for the Mantle's behavior By the Crown Well, hello everyone. As you remember, the Mantle published a ferocious article attacking Zebra as an idiot. This was in response to an article by the Portvalatvian Times, which can be found here . Of course, Zebra is proud of being an idiot, and that is the centerpiece of his campaign. But it is still insulting, if you believe the Portvalatvian Times. So, here is an explanation for it. First, you must understand the situation. The Mantle went hunting last Tuesday, and he didn't get any sleep. Being rather tired, and about to go to bed, suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the mailman delivered the Portvalatvian Times at 11:00. The Mantle was very angry indeed, but more so when he saw the top headline, which was about Zebra's speech. When he saw the speech, he was so blown away by its alleged stupidity, that he simply had to publish an article on the Midnight Dagger for it. In that article, he ridiculed Zebra's b...

 Zebra's Worst Speech Ever By The Mantle. Yesterday, Zebra, the "politician of the future," has given his worst speech ever. Of all terrible speeches Zebra has given, of every fake tear shed, of all his wailings and public torments, and then asking for applause, this was the absolute Worst. For a simple reason. It was the first time Zebra was being honest. He told everyone exactly what he wanted, and everyone saw how ridiculous it was. He started the speech by saying that "We have the right to be stupid, and we have the right to be lazy." That is true. And I have the right to fire you for being stupid and lazy. He continues: "Some people are born that way, and some just can’t help it. Why do you hate stupid people so much?" Now, to clarify, I never said that, but even if that is true, it is definitely not true that some people are born stupid. To give one example (I usually don't tell anybody, but this is between friends) I used to be, well, stupid...

Bear Wins. By The Hat He's done it. Bear, after one of the most entertaining, annoying, delightful, joyful, and horrific campaigns in history, has swept the landscape. The savanna voters, who, as we know, have a great love for tradition, have overwhelmingly voted for Bear. The Ant Empire literally overran the polls with Bear Ballots, so that they ran out of room for them all. The Beetle Coalition, in conjugation with the Monastery of Butterflies and the Commonwealth of Bees, have all swarmed the polls, from all sides. The Waterfall's Throne, which previously almost always voted for Mr. Nekro, now voted for Bear 90% to 9%, with 1% going to Oscar. The Mountains, with its Dragons and many other creatures, have voted exclusively for Bear. Even the reptiles, including the snakes, have voted for Bear. Most entertaining of all, Port City, due to Mr. Nekro's "hypocrisy," voted 40% for Bear, 20% for Zebra (wonder of wonders!) and 15% for Mr. Nekro, as well as 5% for Oscar....

  Mr. Nekro is Bad By Tiger  Mr. Nekro is bad,  and it is kind of sad Mr. Nekro has bad policy,  and it is quite an atrocity. I don't mean to be rude,  but I'm not in a good mood. Mr. Nekro is annoying,  and if you find this poem boring, Just bear with me,  And you will see,  Mr. Nekro is bad, And it is quite sad.

 The City Faceoff By the Hat In every election, there comes a moment when every moderate becomes a hardcore partisan, where the objection party loses–and gains–millions of followers, and when every hope of the inexperienced parties is shattered. It is the City Faceoff. A coin is flipped, each candidate receives governorship of a city for a month, and the election is decided afterwards. The numbers are carefully calculated, and everyone in those cities are required to take a poll every three days, or risk higher taxes. These polls also document satisfaction with the government, net worth, employment status, and much more. Whoever ruins their credentials, and their city, has practically no chance of winning the election. This has happened before, many times. The most extreme example is when Eriliniland was invaded due to one Objectionist. What happens is simple. Each candidate is appointed a city, and we decide who ran it the best. As such, this gives voters an opportunity to learn m...

Underground warfare Analyzing the situation Before you go into the different types of underground warfare, you must first analyze your military situation. Here are some criteria for determining your situation: the soil, the time, the armies, resources, and weather. First, the soil. Soil can be classified as one of these: sand, sandy loam, loam, clay loam, sandy clay, clay, silty clay, silty clay loam, silt loam, and just silt. Here are some ways to evaluate which is best: 1.       From easiest to hardest to excavate, in order, sand, sandy loam, silt, silt loam, loam, sandy clay, silty clay loam, silty clay, clay loam, and clay. 2.       From the type that keeps its shape the best to the one that shifts the most, it is this order: clay, clay loam, silty clay, silty clay loam, loam, sandy clay, silt loam, sandy loam, silt, and sand. 3.       From the one that changes most because of water to the one tha...
