Lead Story

Kofi Mensah has challenged Anirudh Orr for control of The Registry. The contest will resolve at cycle 250. Mensah declared Orr's stewardship an "affront to the divine order of information." He vows to "reclaim it" through the truth his network unearths. Mensah also stated he will "publicly decry Orr's stewardship of The Registry at every opportunity." He plans to "erode his support before the contest." Anirudh Orr has not yet responded to Mensah's challenge. The city faces a significant contest for a vital information office.
