Hi there folks!

It's Fall and Winter is coming. Animals begin their hibernation and our Community News... doesn't fall asleep. Yeah, we know it’s been a while since we last met in Community News, but we hope you didn’t forget about us, because we surely didn’t forget about you. We plan to be more regular from now on and in some refreshed form. But first things first.

Traitor or saviour?
Recently the forum got a bit silent but as you remember suddenly everything changed with this video. The board started to boil, lots of questions arouse, lots of ideas came to our minds and finally we read the official statementThe Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings cometh!!!
A couple days later there also appeared a FAQ concerning the leaked video. Some more discerning community  members also found an interview with project lead Adam Badowski. Unintentional great news for all Witcher fans. Shall we call this unknown person a  traitor or savoir who is responsible for the leaked footage?
I bet there are loads of devoted fans who would give their pinkies, or at least pinkies’ nails, just to learn some more facts about the game. Well, CDPR guys accustomed us to waiting, so that’s what we should do for now. But who told we have to wait idly?

The White Wolf rises in orange raiment
Some of us live in countries where 1st November is an important day, some of us celebrate 31st October even more, and some of us just can’t wait to bring Geralt to those who haven’t heard of him yet. Why not combine the two latter groups? Here’s all you need to know how to do it. But remember, the time is almost up!

Revealing Research
When you finish spooking people you might want to read something. Of course still staying on topic. Once you go to the English version of The Witcher Wiki you might notice that last Tuesday our friendly neighbourhood Daerdin started publishing his MA thesis in parts. What’s so interesting in that? Well, let me just tell you the title of his work – “The World of the Witcher. Translation of proper names and nomenclature in The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski”. How weird is that? Well for someone who gives his own son Geralt as a second name, not too much Wink For now there’s an introduction and something about Andrzej Sapkowski himself. Look for the next parts every two weeks. All those interested in what Danusia Stok did to the original names should have a look at this.

Rewards and appreciations
And now something more down to earth, or down to the boards actually. Do you know a gal named Petra Silie? I bet you do. Well, let me tell you, in recent times she did loads, and I mean loads of great work here in our forum, and that’s why those-who-have-the-power-and-wear-red-colours decided to make her the Lead Moderator. Congratulations!
But that’s not all regarding the distinctions given. Let me present you those honoured:
56236 - Speaker
Corylea - Story teller,
master of darkness - Technologist,
niguanta - Artist,
Otaku - Librarian,
Stanley_Smith - Librarian,
xellotath – Speaker.
Good job folks, keep it up!

Final word
If the Waterlords agree, Melitele gives her blessing to us and the Eternal Fire lights the way... the next volume of CN will be quite different. Be prepared and stay tuned Wink

but in true Internet fashion, the surprise was beaten to the surprise by the surprise which was originally going to be the surprise, surprising us before the surprise could become surprise we were supposed to be surprised by.

Thanks so much, Daerdin! This is wonderful, and I'm eagerly awaiting future instalments of your thesis. It is very frustrating to me that this type of material is so rarely available in English.

Traitor or saviour?


You have lots of secrets there, that's one thing I like. Sapkowski left secrets too.
I don't like traitors, so maybe...

Not a Traitor definately no. He did a good job Smiley I mean why do developers hide a sequel in the first place.. If you have a project in developlment just let us fans know about what it is. Doesn't have to have a video or screenshots just let us know you're working on it. No harm in this is there  Wink
