New unit : pitchfork phalanx

[Oaty]

Yes thats right, as we speak there is a peasant mob froming outside of the creative assembly demanding the late release of the demo immediately. At first it was just some people forming outside grabbing pitchforks or whatever they could but have now started organising and there training in the phalanx formation and is now looking like a formiddable force to contend with. The local police have refused to come in and break up this riot, as it is believed they also wait anxiously for a playable demo also. It appears this riot was well planned and before the headquarters was surrounded the vending machines were raided and all twinkies were confiscated and resupplied with rammen noodles and nothing else. Also there were mass amounts of coffee dumped off before the lockdown began.

It seems this rebelling is getting stronger and appears a new unit is evolving as people from New York have flown in with hanguns. They are calling this Unit New York Handgunners. Although quite poor at a distance are deadly within 2 yards as they are very disciplined and almost never fire until just shy of melee range and start capping the heads of the enemy. They only carry 7 rounds but this is no delight to the enemy as they are also well experienced for close range combat. Do'nt laugh at that little dagger they carry as many oponents were'nt the last ones laughing.

I believe a correspondant is inside the building. Yes. Yes he's reporting that the mood there is very tense but feverish. He says that there isn't much talking but a lot of anxious glances and shakey hands. Some employees have been noted to have attempted to contact their families with carrier pidgeons. This exemplifies their nervousness, especially when one employee was discovered to have tied a note to his telephone and hurled it out the window.

The throng below have now fabricated Anti-Telephone devices after the injury. They are +3 Def vs Falling Telephones and should not be tested in such a manner again; they are incredibly adaptive to methods used against them.

"Heavy infantry carring garbage can shields and football helmets have begun assaulting the CA headquarters. Armed with powerfull siege engines such as potato guns have begun the siege.
Many climbing up the makeshift stairs are being doused by burning coffee, the CA are badly outnumbered but the hold the BETA copies and will protect them at all costs.

It is being reported from inside the CA headquarters that the Developers have been trying to devise some sort of escape plan. Using the latest issues of the Rome:Total War BETA, and their in-house BETA testers, Developers have been working around the clock. Looking for someway to counter this unrully mob gathered outside the Creative Assembly offices.

A statement issued today by the Pitchfork Phalanx stated that the seige that is currently in progress will continue up to, and until either a Demo is released or a solid release date of Rome:Total War is announced. In the Pitchfork camp the mood is tense. Just like most soldiers in the past, the Pitchfork troops say that it's the waiting that is the worst part. In a part of the encampment this reporter witnessed 4 men stabbing a pig with their ever present pitchforks, they then set fire to the pig, laughed, and when it was all over they had ham for supper. When questioned about their actions, the obvious leader of this group responded with

"We're bored! Sick and tired of this waiting and speculation!"

Then with a chilling smile asked me.

"You got a problem with 'dat?"

This journalist beat a hasty retreat. Reporting from inside the Pitchfork Phalanx encampment, this is Rick Phog.
