Welcome to Wondrous Week Four of Wade's Weekly WTF.  This Week We Wave adieu, With Warm Well-Wishes, to our Wonderful friends at the Initiative.  Unfortunately, my Well-Worn thesaurus and Word-Weary brain are regretfully running low on "W" Words.  So We Will Wind things up and get on with the annoucements.

This weeks updates:

1: The recording and transcript of this week’s Fireside is available at: https://kf.fyi/fireside

2: The Initiative has left the Imperium, but will remain friendly and blue to us.  The only major changes you'll see for now will be a lack of FFA ratting in Fountain.  Watch this space and the forums for updates, but we still recommend pulling anything big or expensive out of Fountain and back into Delve for the foreseeable future.

3: Big thanks to @Johanna Cellsplitter  for setting up and running the Summer Swarm 3v3 competition!  The event was a blast, and something we definitely need to run more often.

4: Congrats to the winners of the 3v3 Summer Swarm, "Theorycrafting>Spacework," consisting of @P P P P P P P P P P P P P Shana, @shakarr, and @Da Baschti.  Please go start practicing now for next year's tournament so we don't have to deal with another year of Pari telling us how great he is.

5: If you haven't heard us talk about these anywhere else, they are the best show in town right now for people who have rorqs, skills and some money laying around and want to print a ton of cash quickly. They are super safe, easy to save, and that awesome Beehive fleet we've been talking about keeps an eye on you all the while. https://kf.fyi/crabs

6: If you've got a FAX or a Redeemer/Marshal and see a Beehive fleet go up -- jump in it. You will soak up PAPs all day and have to press a jump button a few times to get into action someone finds for you. This fleet lets us keep the krabs rolling and the ISK flowing. https://kf.fyi/beehive-sif

7: Corps Diplomatique is still recruiting! If you're interested in discovering the smoke-filled backroom of the metagame and topple empires with eloquent words, apply and find out if you have what it takes:  https://kf.fyi/cd-recruitment

8: Everyone ping @Brisc Rubal and @Crema  to welcome them as official KarmaFleet members!

9: KarmaFleet will have a fast-track recruitment for any current Initiative members who would like to join.  Apply at https://kf.fyi/apply and note your situation in your application.  This will only last for the next week, after that, you're stuck in the queue!
