As we near the Speaker of the Legislature, which is tomorrow, most Regionians seem to have already picked their sides. Soviet Melonia II who doesn't seem to like the idea of parties, thus not supporting one, has put up the strongest campaign by sending telegrams, making RMB posts, and even making his policy for viewers to see what it will be like if he gets elected. Although that's all well and good, Pius Desurongcrandis, who is supporting the in need of a win Regionian Party, will not go down without a fight, as he has promised to listen to the people and wants to improve off the things he has done in the past.

Just last Sunday, on May 24th, the two candidates went at each other, using most of their posts to insult each other, but not so much on the Pius side. Pius made one post that was not in line with how the debate was set up, but he figured out that if he stopped insulting, he would actually get somewhere. On the other hand, that's all Soviet Melonia II did. He had good points but half his statements were all shots at Pius. This raises the question about SMII's campaign. Will he be able to focus on getting the region going when he's spending too much time worrying about insulting the other nations of Region Name who are trying to grow? Will Pius Desurongcrandis be able to move from his F*ck Region Name ways to a newly found supporting the Region motive? These questions have to make you step back and ponder who you are actually going to vote for. Will it be the veteran in politics who has helped this region but won't stop backtracking or will it be the veteran in leaving the region who wants to bring back his old self and listen to the people? That's your choice. Have fun and go vote tomorrow!

Recently an inside source has confirmed that recent Soviet Melonia II - Military Deterance relations have been on a steep decline. This all started with an incident regarding the trade of technology from SM2 to MD. SM2 allegedly sent 25 Burning star class missiles to MD along with 25 warheads, in an attempt to bring the 2 nations closer together. Things went south when SM2 security forces stations at the base reported that MD was tampering with the warheads, “Attempting to modify them in some way.” It is unknown what they were trying to do, but this quickly soured relations between the 2 nations. This culminated over a week, at the end of which SM2 security forces were forced to leave the base at which the technology was being stored.

Overnight, a firefight broke out inside the base. Upon hearing this, SM2 Security forces forcefully entered the base, only to find the missiles and warheads stolen. MD and SM2 were working on tracking down where they went to little success. The intruders that were killed were non-uniformed soldiers with no identification, nor identifiable to either nation. MD has refused to disclose what modifications were completed or attempted on the warheads, leading the nations to split in the search.

The Region Name Hockey league playoffs started early this month, and they started interestingly. With New Gwapington and Mundane occupying the Namiean Division seeds, Overlord Hellerer embarked on a different type of journey, a challenge Series. He had more points than Great Patrick, and had the opportunity to take his spot. This leads us to our first series:

Cross-Divisional Challenge Series
A three game home stand for Great Patrick, and that was it. Winner was the first to 2 games. Overlord Hellerer ended the season on a torrid streak, with a nearly unstoppable offense, that was stopped. Game 1 was there to prove they couldn't be stopped. And they came out hot. Scoring 4 goals in the first 2 period, this attack of talent led oddly enough by Right Wing Shilen Proved too much for Great Patrick. Josh Bryan was pulled and Willis Ballards shutout in the 3rd led Great Patrick to tap him in for Game 2 after scoring a pair of goals in a failed comeback attempt. Game 2 Great Patrick came out strong, holding the Chemists Offense to a single goal they matched. An Offensive push by Free Agents Doug Blair and Nick Bridges along with more defensive holding, only allowing 1 more goal in the 3rd, that forced a game 3. The Chemists reignited in Game 3, scoring 4 goals in the first two periods again led by the powerful Matthew Hellerer and the quick John Dalton, and Joe Wilkowski held in to hold Great Patrick to 3 goals, giving the Chemists the series win and a trip to Marksburg.

Nameian Division Championship Series
For the Nameian Division Proper, New Gwapington had a 5 game series against the Redhawks. The solid goal-tending of Hufokkin Tonight and Brandon Gray posed for a low scoring series, and in the beginning it seemed like that would be the case. The Johngas took game 1 in overtime 2-1, with Offensive showings by Jimmy Ward and Wilson Fowler, while Dick Leaf was one again the entire offense of the Redhawks. Game 2 Redhawks knew they needed offense, but New Gwapington Matched their attack. Dick Leaf was matched by Jimmy Ward, Count Ravioli matched by the young Allan Mendez. Finally in Overtime, trade acquisition Billy Burch from the Mustangs scored to tie the series at 1. In their first game in New Gwapington, things didn't look good for the Redhawks. Wilbert Tate, and Stewart Campell scored unmatched in the first, with only a goal for each team in the 3rd being the remainder of the scoring. Mundane made the bold move that night of firing their Offensive Coordinator and gave control to HC McDaniel Burgess. Burgess proved successful. Organizing a 5 goal offense with 2 by Dick Leaf and help with Irish O African and others, but New Gwapington stayed alive with Jimmy Ward and others, since Townes von Applesticks was allowing Hufokkin Tonight to rest for Mundane. In OT, Dick Leaf struck first and Mundane won the game. Finally back in Mundane, scores by Billy Burch and Dick Dump, along with a shutout by Tonight led the Redhawks to win the series and to the cup.

Regonian Division Championship Series
The Chemists continued their underdog streak in Marksburg, against the division champion Mustangs. Marksburgs Sean Burke had one of his worse games but still kept the Chemists to 3 goals by Dow, Dalton and others. Marksburg with Jackson, West, Stoughton and Shmo piloted past the Chemists game 1 after a score fest. Game 2 the Chemists had something to prove. Hellerer, Dow and Dalton all scored along with others, and Joe Wilkowski held Marksburg to 1, leading to a series tie going to Overlord Hellerer. Marksburg HC Winston Davis said he would keep Sean Burke in, due to his experience with the Chemists. Game 3 proved not much better, with Overlord Hellerer's domination still netting 4, led by Dow and Hellerer, and Marksburg netting 3 with Buscher Jackso and a suddenly emergent Charlie Conacher. Game 4 was here. And the Chemists dominated. 2 goals in the 1st caused the Mustangs to bench Sean Burke in the first, where Earl Robertson game in and allowed 3. Dow, Dalton, Hellerer, again scored with others, and Marksburg only got 2 from Hunter Qatar and Nels Stewart. Marksburg lost the series 3-1, heading to the Cup Finals.

Cup Finals Review
We have had 1 game of the cup finals. Tonight's goal-tending and Ravioli's Defense couldn't restrain the red hot Chemist Offense, which has been playing at inhuman rates for the entirety of the playoffs. Redhawks Offensive woes continue under McDaniel Burgesses tenure as Offensive Coordinator, as a rough start in game one looks to hold them back. Can the Redhawks Contain Dow, Dalton, Shilen, and Hellerer or will this flaming offense melt any hopes of a Redhawk Championship. Can Joe Wilkowski contain Dick Leaf and co., or will the tenure of the goaltender be able to shut down any hope of a Redhawks late series rally. We will find out soon. Stay tuned, for the Scrambley Cup Finals.

On March 18th, now just under three months ago, the Region Name Football League began its season with a blowout by the Marksburg Mustangs. On March 21st, the New Gwapington Jimmies barely squeaked out with a win. That was Week 1. Since then, the 16 teams of the RNFL have came through 8 Weeks, the Divisional Round, and the Conference Championship. There has been tough battles, gritty rivalries, and hard fought victories. But, the two teams that were able to do this the best and the most, were the Jimmies and the Mustangs. All of that hard work has paid off for the teams and now they sit just a week and a half away from the Regionian Bowl, where if you win, you get the glory of becoming the RNFL's first champion, a world champion.

The game is set to kickoff on Saturday, June 6th at the Nike Superdome in Monterrey, Mundane. The stadium holds a whopping 95,000 fans who will be cheering for their respective from the stands. All the work they've done, everything they have put into the season, has come down to this one game, this moment in their lifetimes, in which they will never forget. Drew Dressel vs. Jimmy Jammy. One an MVP candidate and the other a Pro Bowler. Two of the top quarterbacks in the league will go off against each other. The RNFL saw this matchup in Week 8 where the Jimmies won by a margin of only 3. It is not only a game of QBs, but also a game of defense. The Mustangs sit 3rd in the league and the Jimmies sit 4th. This will be a good one. We'll see you there. Hike!
