News Flash: UN Peacekeeping troops sent to Catan Island
Sunday, January 27th, 2008CATAN ISLAND - In the latest incident in the escalating conflict on Catan, UN Peacekeeping troops from Atlantis, Gilligan’s Island, and the Lost Island have arrived to maintain order and distribute much needed supplies.
Botswanan general Jack Shephard, leader of the peacekeeping forces, has summed up the situation in one word:”Lost.”
Fighting began when Gabe Dagani, a local sheep wrangler and fondler, built a settlement in the middle of brick magnate Larsson Omberg’s long and winding road. “I mean, who builds a house in the middle of a street?? Madness!!”
Matters only became worse when a mysterious black robber pillaged the grain silos. Rumored to be led by the enigmatic and mysterious settler known only by ‘Dave’, the robber appeared without much warning and wiped out half of the savings of the largest stockpiles on the island. Both the Dagani family and the Omberg estate were effected.
General Shephard knows he has a hard task ahead. “We just want to keep peace, resume trade, and perhaps move the robber somewhere else.”
When asked what his greatest fear was, Shephard said, “I only hope that the sudden appearance of such a large army won’t give anyone ten points. That could end the island forever, or until next Saturday night.”
