Hello. It is a dark day at Spunland
Mansions. The Chief Spun Engineer has suggested that my name be
changed from Uncle Spun to Uncle Sorry. That's not exactly what he
said, but it's all I can say for fear of causing offense. Yes, there
were a few problems at last night's Coronations – and that during
the North American ceremony was entirely my fault. I beg your
pardon, especially from Majesty Sam Reynolds. The problems in Europe
however were not exactly my fault, so after much heated debate the
chief Spun Engineer has agreed to come here in person to 'explain'.
But first to the ceremonies...
So our 9th Kings of Spun are
GigiZen and sam_reynoldsUS. Spun congratulations to you – and it
must be noted that both have been Kings of Spun before! Gigizen our
latest EU majesty was also our first! But as with last week there was
no little acrimony due to other competing spunlings falling foul of
unspun crashes. Uncle Spun must consequently extend apologies and beg
patience from Zakawiia and richrich1991 in particular.
In the US it was once more the mighty
Sam Reynolds who took the crown, only in his US guise, which makes
him the first Spunling to have been Spun Majesty in both territories!
Super Spun Congratulations, and apologies again also. Uncle Spun was
not in best form when he travelled across the Great Atlantic last
night, the volatile nature of Spunland EU made every minute that he
trailed the bearer of the Spun Crown a tension laden tribulation, a
veritable fulcrum of torment! Yes, in desperate relief Uncle Spun
offered the Crown to Sam, but a moment too late – the Spun Crown
had just despawned, and there being no King of Spun, everything
froze. Crash. Apologies. It won't happen again. At least, not like
that. Promise.
And now let me introduce the chief Spun
Engineer, be warned he can be somewhat uncouth and generally a little
incomprehensible...
Aye, hello. Embarrassment is no
something we usually have time for down in engineering, or apologies
either – but eh, I hear we need to. So, sorry. There, that's that.
Now the explaining bit. Some of the pipes in the darkest, smelliest
parts of engineering have been there for quite a long time now, and
when they were laid we had no idea what they were eventually gonna be
asked to do. The thing is, since then we've grafted on all manner of
new contraptions, and some of it doesny work so well wi the old
pipes. Am telling you this as much as anything, 'cause next wednesday
the latest upgrade work will go live, and the new spun will come
flooding down them pipes and I for one am terrified. You see the
latest work we've just finished was a huge job. We were working
virtually round the clock to get it done, and I know that when the
tap is turned there's bound to be quite a few eh... springs and
leaks. Anyway – right now we're binding up our noses and heading
back down to the stinky parts of the engine room to take a look
at them old pipes. As soon as we possibly can we'll get the whole
blinking thing upgraded – you hafta understand but, they never give
us enough workers for rzzzfrrzgh...
And there you have it from the Chief
Spun Engineer. Next week, on Tuesday the 22nd, whoever holds the Spun Crown at 8pm BST in
the EU and 3pm PST in NA will be the 10th Kings of Spun!
Hope to see you there!
