New Scriba Emeriti and Scribes of Americas:
Americas thanks Mangas and Apo Mayta for their great work and contribution for Americas. (
check the news announcement). ChanChan Tupac's words describe it well:
Their creativity and enthusiasm has led to some outstanding, fun and educational events. We're sad to lose two great scribes, but at the same time lucky to get
Lipset YellowStar and
Aynara MorningStar to replace them. Lipset is probably known to almost all newbies, as she's been the most active greeter for years, and Aynara is actually no newbie to scribing... and she worked already on some Americas' events during the last GoldFest... both are graphically talented, so in that way Americas scribal team remains the same.

When the night came, they insisted on sleeping outside the lodges instead of inside, as all self-respecting girls do. But these ones lay out in the open, giggling and looking up at the night sky...
