[UPDATE] Sentinel - 5 Oct 06 - Gambler, Earlywine Egged

Casino gambler flushed with success

By NATASHA VALLIERE

A fortunate gambler at Casino Recor almost brought the house down Wednesday, when she won two bonuses each worth 10 million lecks within an hour.

Raynor Gladwin of the Artists' Quarter garnered the cash playing poker, when she was dealt two royal flushes in a single session. The casino offers a five million leck bonus for each royal flush at their 'Hi-roller' table.

"I couldn't believe it!" exclaimed Gladwin (47). "I only play once or twice a year, and my husband is the real card sharp. After the first flush, I would have stopped playing, but he said I was on a winning streak. I guess he was right!"

Casino manager Ralph De Santos said that the odds against two such wins were astronomical.

"Normally, we only see one or two royal flushes a year. To have two in one night - and for a single player - is almost unthinkable."

Casino staff looked into the possibility of cheating, but the Gladwins were quickly cleared of any suspicion.

De Santos was forced to call PCBC to bring in the extra cash when Raynor Gladwin cashed in her chips at the end of the night.

So what does lucky Raynor intend to do with her new-found wealth?

"We're going to pass some money down to our sons, but then Wally and I are going to take a long holiday in Alchemy Bay. Maybe we'll never come back!"

View from Earth: Earlywine in Disfavour

By SCOTT MYERS

The overall sentiment of Earth, regarding the Perplex City Council election, is a general malaise and lack of interest. However, one thing most people agree on, as assessed in an ongoing survey over the past 3 months: Nathan Earlywine is foolish and ill advised.

A series of surveys were set forth on August 31, July 20, and September 21 of 2006. approximately 100 people were surveyed. The surveys asked, quite simply: Based on what you presently know of the Perplex City Election, which candidate do you feel is most suited for the job?

While an alarming 3/4th stated 'no response' or otherwise felt they were insufficiently informed to give an answer, the remaining one quarter was equally divided between incumbent Camryn Scott and Nathan Earlywine.

However, many participants were also invited to give comments on the election year to date. And it was in this free form section of the questionnaire where opinions began to show true color. Participants were asked if they could be quoted, and were offered anonymity if they chose it.

A few themes ran heavily throughout the survey. One was a tendency to not leap to conclusions about the Perplexian election process. One participant, who went unnamed, stated it best: "To be honest, I think we need to know more to give an informed decision, but I was shocked by the whole Douglass Finlay scandal."

Previous Sentinel contributor Chris Martin quipped "Right now I'm favouring Earlywine, but his piety will get him in the end. He's cruisin for a bruisin." Favouring the excitement of the political three-ring-circus, he went on to observe "You just know it's going to end badly."

Another past Sentinel contributor, Rachel Wild, stated "I can't say I'm too well up on the facts but I don't think they need a change in government at the moment." She went on to refer to a past interview between Iona Rodie and Sente Kiteway (Iona Interviews... Sente Kiteway) "The Cube was lost on his watch and he wants to be the one who finds it as well. If they change government, there'll be too much fuss to allow things to carry on steadily as they are."

Shaftoe stated plainly "Earlywine is too much of a hothead who shoots his mouth at every opportunity. So, I am going with Scott."

Wizdumb exhibited wisdom, observing "Running a negative campaign is never good. Scott seems to be more caring and personable, but Earlywine promises change. They both have different things to offer. All in all, I'd probably vote for Camryn Scott. Seems to be a safer choice."

One person, speaking under condition of strict anonymity, however, took a stance of considerably more severe attitude towards Earlywine. "He has taken every opportunity to blast away at any fault in his competition, calling into question practices and policies of Scott and Finlay, especially when it suited him best. He has threatened to entirely sack major management divisions of city infrastructure if they don't see things his way. And it's possible he may have some ties to the Third Power, which Sente talked about. Earlywine can't be trusted, if you want my honest opinion." While the evidence of this connection appeared tenuous at best, the implication is certainly severe.

Outside of the main attraction of the leader's race, Chalco Doror apologized for being somewhat out of current events, having just returned from Asia in search of a certain Satoshi. However he did observe "Natasha Heme does have fairly good proposals," then went on to caution "But it isn't necessarily what will happen once she wins."

However, amidst the political hubbub, many people like Sara Long express a lack of interest, focusing on their own interests. "As here on Earth, I'll take the side of the one that's going to pay doctors the most money at the end of it all. Which one is that?"

Earlywine in egg attack

Nathan Earlywine was forced to take evasive action at a rally yesterday when protesters blasted his entourage with a volley of eggs. Earlywine, speaking at a new education centre in the Old Town, escaped the missiles, though several of his staff were hit. The protesters are believed to have been demonstrating against proposed cutbacks in public services.
