DESCRIPTION
I just realized the potential of the news system.

Now we have world news, player news, and company news, and there is also the possibility to change company/player stats, price_multiplier for each category, import/export prices, and a bunch of others.

The only problem is I don't have any news written.

If you have any great ideas, feel free to message me in-game (Ratan Joyce of Rat & Joy Co.), or post here in this thread.

RULES
Submit your news item in the following format:
Scope (World/Company/Player)
Message (Your News Message)
Effect (+/- $, +/- warehouse item, gain research, adjust import/export price multiplier, adjust category sales price multiplier, ...)

EXAMPLE
Scope: Player
Message: It's your birthday today, and as your birthday present you have received a Rubber Duck, quack quack!
Effect: If player has an active company, +1 Q30 rubber duck to company warehouse, otherwise +$15 to player cash.

REWARDS
1st place: 1000 influence
2nd place: 500 influence
3rd place: 250 influence
4th-10th: 100 influence
