***Interpol Reopening!!!***
Interpol was established around April 2014 and owned by lil!devil!.
After its closure in November 2018, Interpol reopened in May 17th 2019 with some major changes!
With the help of supportive members, Interpol opened its doors once again!
Thank you lil!devil! For giving it another chance!

***Interpol Prom 2019***
On the 27th of July 2019, Interpol’s very own team hosted the perfect pixel prom anybody could ask for. With a room full of love and loved up couples, our spirits were raised high, especially with a prom king and queen competition that was open to all members of Interpol to make us come up with the best version of dresses and tuxes we could.
About 10 couples ran the race for Prom King and Queen! After the votes were in, two couples had tied for first place – Jamie2486 / AnisMs7 and Aditi78 / Zebizenette! Another round of voting was held to see who the ultimate Prom Couple was, which was done on discord! Mr. & Mrs. Claus (Zebizenette and Aditi78) emerged as winners, only by a margin of 2 votes, and were given 30c and an Elegant Crown each, while Zooleisk2 and Lynhs won Best Dressed couple!
The event was a huge success thanks to our very talented Events Team! Look out for any other major events hosted by them!
***Reward Badges***
There has been an amendment to rules regarding acceptance of Reward Badge 3. Earlier there was no clear demarcation of work that needed to be done to get an RB3 accepted. The new rule which came into effect on 24th August during the weekly meeting hosted by Mirificiaaal and chaired by lil!devil! states that for a member to earn RB3 on any particular day, they will have to have worked for 8 hours or more and must have done some substantial work on the Portal such as trainings, transfers, etc. Promotions, however, will not be counted to avoid any cases of over promotions, unjustified and undeserved promotions. This does not mean that members should not promote!
Our Reward Badge admins will always check what you’ve been up to using the portal as well as your in game activity and that will determine whether your RB3 should be accepted or not!

Congratulations!
lil!devil!
Misch111: Hello lil!devil! Thank you so much for letting me interview you for the first edition of our Interpol newspaper! Can you please introduce yourself to the readers?
Lil!devil: Pfft, I need to introduce myself? Where’s my spotlight and intro music?
Misch111: you can’t hear it?
Lil!devil!: Haha. Hello everyone, I’m Tom as you all probably know!
Misch111: What’s your favourite thing about Interpol?
Lil!devil!: Urm, pretty easy start I like it 😉 Easily my favourite thing about Interpol is the people. I wouldn’t come on and speak to any of you if you were all boring xD
Misch111: Hahaha, that’s great to hear!
Lil!devil!: We wouldn’t be here without the support of all the members.
Misch111: What is something that you think Interpol or Interpol members in general could improve on?
Lil!devil!: Hmm I think the moment we could improve on inclusivity. People need to come out of their comfort zones and talk to people they wouldn’t normally speak to because we are meant to be one big happy family.
Misch111: I totally agree with that!
Lil!devil!: That’s what I want for this place. To bring different types of people together.
Misch111: Interpol closed for a while but it has reopened. Why did you decide to reopen it?
Lil!devil!: Well it wasn’t really my decision. I told Kaye (blackmagic029) that if she could create enough support for Interpol to come back, we could do it. So Kaye, Charlie (winternessie), Kris (Jail65) and Zool (zooleisk2) with help from Kai (Mirificiaaal) and Teza (alteza_) and some others got to work and I just kinda sat there and watched, basically what I do now anyway xD.
Misch111: Is there anything to expect in the near future for Interpol?
Lil!devil!: at the moment, we are just focusing on filling out our elective ranks and making sure all affair teams are running properly. So expect some elective changes in the future 😛 and new Event room and Public Office will come, but that’s a bit furthere down the line.
Misch111: That’s sound so exciting!
Misch111: To end on something a little more fun, tell us a cool fact about you!
Lil!devil!: Oh man, I’m not really a very cool person.
Misch111: There has to be SOMETHING interesting, come on! 😀
Lil!devil: Urmmmmm..
Misch111: Or even just something that might surprise people.
Lil!devil!: Eh I don’t even think there is anything interesting.
Misch111: Or even just what you like doing in your spare time ☺
Lil!devil!: I mean, I have a degree in Politics which people wouldn’t normally think I would have but that’s not exactly interesting and people know I love Liverpool football club, my fav <3
Misch111: awesome! Do you have any shoutouts before we end the interview?
Lil!devil!: My shoutout would be to tell Kris he sucks, say Welcome back to Teffy who we need to force get a high rank and I miss OkcatTaec 🙁
Misch111: aww, well thank you so much for letting me interview you 😀
Lil!devil: no worries.
Almost Love
1; old bench.
Sometimes things can become too much to handle — you feel too much, you think too much, and you care a bit too much. And slowly, you find yourself stumbling over the edge and waiting for the right moment to fall.
Deep down I knew I wouldn’t fall.
There’s something (or someone) that would always pull me up, so I’d take a step back and let the cycle repeat over and over again.
I spent half of my life trying to please people and live up to everybody’s expectations that I forgot what I wanted or what it means to live your own life. I seldomly question myself, a question that I can’t seem to answer as well, did I exist to satisfy people but myself? How could that be possible?
I was sitting on this old bench near the school’s parking lot and I must admit, I’m not really a morning person but every morning, you see different people with different personalities, and they are really entertaining. However, my train of thoughts were cut short when I saw you. You didn’t change a single bit. Your curly hair was longer when I last saw it. Your hazel eyes still never fail to sweep any girls off their feet, any girls but me.
I watched this pigtailed-head girl who is carrying a bunch of books grin at you. You stopped at your tracks, grabbed her arm, and offered your help after giving her this bright smile. You’re polite now, huh?
But I frowned when I saw you take a few steps away from the pigtail girl and drop her books on the floor. I frowned even more when you knelt to tie her shoelaces. Pigtail girl must be having her butterflies fly around her stomach by now, I wouldn’t blame her though. You, Evan Carter, is a living art. However, my frown turned into a smirk after seeing Olivia, the goddess-of-a-cheerleader, made her way towards the two of you. I gripped my Starbucks cup, inhaling the sweet scent of my coffee; I could really use a cheese-flavored popcorn right now.
I couldn’t hear the conversation but seeing the non-verbal actions that is happening, I’ll assume Olivia is furious right now. You protected the pigtailed girl like she’s yours. But maybe she is, though? On the other hand, you pry Olivia’s hand away. Wow Evan, you really are something.
Those hazel brown eyes that I swear changes to somewhat a shade of green when sunlight hits them, your defined jaw, your curly hair that sways along with the wind, and those pearly white teeth that glows whenever you smile. Oh, and how can I forget those two deep dimples that complete the package. You are effortlessly beautiful.
Shaking my head, I went back on focusing on this drama that is happening right in front of my eyes. Too many events happened within 10 minutes and my cold-hearted self is enjoying every single bit—You, being polite. You, turning down a goddess. You not being you.
I gagged at the sight of Olivia forcing herself to get a hug from you whilst pigtailed girl shook her head lightly, snatching her books away from your hands and running away. “Amber!” you called out. Ah, so she’s named after a gemstone. It suited her. Even despite those pigtails, she’s actually a fine sight. She obviously liked you. It was so obvious but, of course you wouldn’t know because you were too stupid. The two of you were.
Olivia ran away when you called for Amber, she probably felt insecure. Olivia was stupid as well. She kept on chasing after you even when she knew you’d reject her.
All of you were stupid.
Why?
Because you all believed in love.
And love is stupid.
