PARADE - after the dismissal of the insane LAWSUIT was signed by
the judge in los angeles last week the TOYWAR.community elected 
12 TOYWAR.generals and 45 TOYWAR.heroes who are right now proudly
marching off the legendary battlefield (displayed on www.etoy.com).
their services are compensated with a huge amount of etoy.SHARES 
and plastic medals! all generals, heroes/heroines automatically 
reached full etoy.AGENT-STATUS and become official shareholders 
of the etoy.CORPORATION (documents, contracts and the rules will 
be sent out). 260 additional brave toysoldiers who reached more 
than 80 etoy.POINTS during this war were also awarded with the 
official etoy.AGENT-TITLE and become shareholders.

750 soldiers who participated in the operation "TOYWAR.com
TOY-HARBOR" between november 29, 1999 and january 10, 2000 are
promoted to the rank of a TOYWAR.veteran and become immortal 
like all high ranking members (not having to buy energy anymore).

the etoy.CORPORATION thanks all the TOY.soldiers for spontaneous,
creative, playful and dynamic protection of the etoy.BRAND and 
the successful information&art attacks.

===================================================

WAR - solidarity message: the etoy.BRAND is still in the hands
of the etoy.CORPORATION because thousands of net users
expressed solidarity and showed that they are willing to fight.

it is for sure that we will also help others to protect themselves
against corporate fools who bulldoze culture & lifestyle. the
TOYWAR weapons & knowhow are locked with a security code at the 
moment... but the 12 TOYWAR.generals are able to decide on the 
reactivation of the TOYWAR.bombs within minutes and put out an order:

LEONARDO ART VS. LEONARDO FINANCE: lets just warn these guys. 
leonardo finance should study the eToys vs. etoy battle and leave the 
legal jungle ... there is not much to win for a company like they are.... 
1780 experienced and euphoric TOYWAR.agents just wait to test all the 
weapons we had to hold back in the TOYWAR.shelter.

do these people look smart enough to handle TOYWAR II żżż http://www.leonardofinance.fr/anglais/presentation/presentation.htm

LEONARDO FINANCE IS THE PERFECT TARGET. NO ONE WILL HELP THEM IF 
THOUSANDS START TO HASSLE THEM WITH LEGAL TOOLS AND QUESTIONS.
NO COMPANY, LAWFIRM AND PR OFFICE IN THE WORLD CAN DO BUSINESS IF 
THE COMMUNITY TURNS AGAINST THEM. etoy does not promote illegal 
strategies... we just call for solidarity and smart resistance... 
its just a combination of intelligent entertainment for all of us, 
the fight for freedom of culture and a good opportunity to do media 
art BUT a pain for those who do not understand the net. 
---> ask toby@etoys.com. he probably learned.

the TOYWAR.generals had a first brief meeting with the involved
people and seriously consider a massive LEONARDO.intervention.



etoy - billions and billions confused. 

for the etoy.SHAREHOLDERS: the etoy.MANAGEMENT

etoy.ZAI (CEO)
etoy.GRAMAZIO (PRESIDENT)
etoy.KUBLI (LEGAL AFFAIRS)
etoy.MONO (CRISIS-CONTROL)
