This may be unfamiliar to most of you, but this is what a RuneGear eNews Edition would look like. The purpose of the eNews is to update members as to what has happened within the week of RuneGear in case they have been in-active. This is an unofficial edition, but I am hoping to bring eNews back, as I ran it in the past and enjoyed it. Now in this edition I will just cover the basics. You'll have to excuse the GFX as I did not spend much time on them, at all.
RuneGear now has it's own YouTube channel. This channel will consist of guides, game plays, events, contests and anything else to do with gaming in general. The purpose for the channel is for hopes to bring in new members and to spread our name across the internet. If you would like to add a video to the YouTube channel please contact the member @"Joshua".
RuneGear is starting to increase warning levels & removals. For a little while this forum has gone through rough times and members haven't been getting along. But hopefully with the new warning levels things will start to change. "Warnings from staff now will be a lot stricter and instead of letting small offences slide ( as always) they will now be flagged and warned." Please check the thread out here, so you don't miss out on the new rules.
@"Adam" is finally banned! Thank the world! Lol, just kidding. For some odd reason he's banned, but not banned. I'm sure this is one of Glen's tricks messing around with Adam. If you'd like to see the thread, click here.

U.S. had early indications Libya attack tied to organized militants.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Within hours of last month's attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya, President Barack Obama's administration received about a dozen intelligence reports suggesting militants connected to al Qaeda were involved, three government sources said.
Despite these reports, in public statements and private meetings, top U.S. officials spent nearly two weeks highlighting intelligence suggesting that the attacks were spontaneous protests against an anti-Muslim film, while playing down the involvement of organized militant groups.

Iran to enrich uranium to 60 percent if nuclear talks fail.
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran would enrich uranium up to 60 percent purity if negotiations with major powers over its nuclear program fail, an Iranian lawmaker said on Tuesday, in comments that may add to Western alarm about Iranian intentions.
Mansour Haqiqatpour, deputy head of parliament's Foreign Policy and National Security Committee, said 60 percent enrichment would be to yield fuel for nuclear submarines, which often require uranium refined to high levels.

Greece pushes for austerity deal as time runs short.
ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece held a new round of talks with foreign lenders to bridge differences over 2 billion euros of disputed austerity cuts on Tuesday, with time running short to clinch a deal before a meeting of euro zone ministers next week.
Athens has been haggling for weeks over 12 billion euros of cutbacks that its European Union and International Monetary Fund lenders have refused to sign off on over fears that some of the proposed savings are unlikely to materialize.
