Rumours has it that Ping clan has ran into problems in acquiring the latest weapons as the rival clans have curtailed market supplies due to its hot selling Ping Pie. It seems that the Ping clan has been unwilling to share the recipe for the sumptuous Gourmet Ping Pie that it produces.
Rival clans have tried ways and means to get hold of the secret receipe but to no avail. Fort raids, infiltration, spying, bribery, death threats have all failed to yield any clue about the secret receipe. In a show of brinksmanship, rival clans have not only boycotted Ping Pie stalls, but also forcfully forbid the armoury stalls at each port from selling any weaponary to Ping.
"The turth is, there is no secret ingredient," says Adrian, Ping CM. "The Ping Pie is tastes good as we have made an effort to use the best ingredients."
"Though the curtail of market supplies has affected us, we are inclined to believe that this childish act of trade sanctions is only transient, and that the consumer will be unable to resist our alluring Ping Pies," beamed Chloe, Ping Head Baker.
However, the sudden withdrawal of demand have lead to a bloat of Ping Pies left on the shelves. As a result, some Pingsters have decided to put the excess pies to good use instead of just throwing them away. See replay below for more details:
Ahoy! Ping Pierates!
