Elucidate Card Solved by Player Solitair

By KATE BREWSTER

In a surprise move this week, player solitair became the first to correctly solve card #240, Elucidate, for 60 points. This places solitair in a tie for first place overall with Scomazz, who has rocketed to the top after joining on only 21 Nov. Both top players have accrued 6180 points by solving 124 cards. Since solitair's breakthrough, the Elucidate card has been solved by seven other players.

Other notable first-solves this week include Card #246, Homage in Glass, by 12th-ranked ReeKorl; Card #245, Relativity, by 62nd-place drp; and card #249, The Angel's Key, by Rube2K in the 89th spot. These four cards occupy the top four places for least-solved cards to date.

The cause of retrieving the Receda Cube on Earth appears to be gathering further inertia, with the total number of cards solved fast nearing 55,000. The total points accrued blew well past the million mark this week, as well, with the total number standing at 1.3 million as of today -- a sharp rise from last week's mere 800,000.

While a number of notable new players have joined recently, three newcomers in particular bear watching: nickpage107, who joined on the 28th Nov. and has accrued 2797 pointsto reach 106th place; Ueno, who has hit 2614 points and 118th place since a mere 1st Dec.; and Fuseunderground, who since joining on 28th Nov. has since climbed up to 129th place with 2427 points.

In other interesting developments, several players at the top appear to be changing national allegiance, including 3rd-place oliverkeers13, formerly of the United Kingdom, who now representes Antarctica; and 13th-place Coxtin, who now plays on behalf of Kyrgyzstan.

Seaside Announces Plan to Release Earth Anthology

By CORINNE HATHAWAY

Seaside Press announced today a plan to publish a yet-to-be-named anthology of works by never-before-published Earth authors. Seaside's Director of Acquisitions, Ellen Moriyama, said that the anthology will include "diverse works by a number of Earth writers," most or all of whom are heavily involved in the Academy's Cube retrieval effort.

"This is an exciting day for the city," said Moriyama. "We are forging unbreakable ties of artistic expression between our cultures. With this book, we are helping to build a bridge between worlds never seen before." While no publication date has yet been set for certain, Moriyama indicated that the time-to-press would be as speedy as possible. "We're hoping to release the book by the end of the year, if not earlier," she said.

Some publishing insiders said that while Moriyama is couching the acquisition in noble language, the move is nothing but a quick attempt to cash in on almost-certain sales spurred by the ongoing Perplexian fascination with Earth. One Fraction Media representative even questioned whether the book actually existed, or was a clever marketing move to repackage mid-list Perplexian writers to stimulate sales. "It's even possible that Seaside has been fooled," said the source. "Anybody can say they're from Earth."

Moriyama, though, insisted that the book is completely legitimate. "The team of authors is working with a very reliable Perplexian editor," she said. "I'm not able to release her identity at this time, but this is somebody with close ties to the Cube Retrieval Team at the Academy. This editor is able to completely ascertain the identities of her writers and be sure that all of the material is precisely as advertised."

The book is a first for publishing, because, if the publisher's claims are accurate, the manuscript is comprised solely of never-before-published material written by Earth authors specifically for a Perplexian audience. Historically, Earth literature in the city has been confined to republication of existing works written by Earth writers for an Earth-only audience.

Champaign Out of Play

As was roundly expected by sporting analysts, PCAG prodigy Myra Champaign failed to make the December cut into the final month of championship play, though by a scant five points. The young girl said she is "a bit disappointed" that she missed the final cut after her impressive last-minute surge last week. "It just means I need to work harder and think sharper next year," she said in interviews. " (Full text)

Futures

By Madame Bianca, for the week of December 5

The Maze (November 11 - December 10)
An unusual number of demands on your time leaves you scrambling to find that elusive extra hour a day. I highly suggest you don't find it by abandoning bathing, this time.

The Apple-Thief (December 11 - January 10)
The waves wash over sand and stone, then leave me once again alone to dream about the far and endless golden days, when I was home.

The Hand (January 11 - February 10)
A lucky find leaves you wondering where to go next, but don't be fooled, duckling. You've saved yourself some time on the front end, but unexpected complications mean you still have to keep one hand on the wheel, for now.

The Baby (February 11 - March 10)
Dig a little deeper into your internal reserves this week. Self-discipline isn't so much like you, but you've taken on a commitment and now you have to see it through. And don't worry about it quite so much while you're on the case -- you have what it takes, promise.

The Eagle (March 11 - April 10)
All this dry weather means one thing for you: chapped lips. Get yourself to a tube of Winterwear's truly spectacular citrus-vanilla lip salve before it's too late. And trust me, you need your kissing tools in good order for this weekend.

The Spider (April 11 - May 10)
Isn't it just like you to get to spring cleaning at the wrong end of the year? This strangely-timed fervour for freshness catches you just in time. Unexpected guests will drop by late in the week, and you could do worse than to impress them.

The Wave (May 11 - June 10)
Weight of the world on your shoulders? You may feel like it, but it isn't so much the truth. Lighten up a little and stops taking yourself so seriously a whole lot.

The Archer (June 11 - July 10)
You never were good at keeping a secret, were you? Bite your tongue a little harder, dearie, because if you can't even keep your own secrets, why would anybody else ever trust you?

The Half-filled Jug (July 11 - August 10)
You're driving yourself much too hard. There's no harm in taking a bow out of some of your social engagements to just plain nap. Your true pals won't mind; any anyway, abject fatigue isn't so much fun to party with in the first place, muffin.

The Dragon (August 11 - September 10)
Someone new and fascinating is coming into your life. The stars aren't saying where it could go, so you'll need to find out for yourself. Could be a little dangerous, though, so keep your guard up if you want to come out of it all in one piece.

The Three Balls (September 11 - October 10)
I see you're on something of a roll. Good job, that! Carry on, then.

The Dice (October 11 - November 10)
Optimism and unrealistic expectations? So not the same thing. You need to temper your cloud-headed ambitions with a good, square dose of reality. Not saying you shouldn't have aspirations, but you do need to remember the part about working hard to get there.

And remember, home is where your heart lives.
