A sudden offer from S.A.

Port Selao

Darren has resigned as Bureau Chief in Johannesburg. He and his family are heading back to England. I’m sad to see Darren leaving. He has been an avid supporter of my work here.

However, Darren’s recommended me as his replacement – Bureau Chief of the Joburg office. This effectively means I would be in charge of all African news coverage. I’ve also been offered a four-part series profiling the Jackal and the conflict here. It seems the job is mine. All I need to do is say yes.

It’s all so sudden. The decision may appear obvious to some of you, but for me it’s unclear. Of course my dear family is there, so settling down to a desk job seems a natural progression and good for the family.

Yet as a reporter, my work has thrived in the field. I’m at my best when I can feel what I’m reporting. When I can smell it and get my hands dirty. I’ve never been the sort to lounge behind a desk. I worry that my effectiveness will be hampered considerably.

And my work here is far from over. I have a tough decision to make.

el perro just beacuse a man can do something doesnt meen he will do it. it depneds on how weak a man is, mind over matter

[The Jackal]

Reuben, don't make that four-part show with my tapes or I'll kill you...slowly....and I'll relish in it.

Its not wise from the developers to jump in and discuss various things about a fictional characters just to keep things in motion. Instead they should focus on the REAL game (FAR CRY 3) and the development of the game storyline.

rofl i cant believe people actually think this is real

[Dark]

My name; you do not need to know but if you insist some, some call me the shadow, others Dark, for i come swiftly silently and brutally with out a sound, I have come here for nothing else but to eliminate the Jackal and all who get in my way for diamonds are nothing without the crimson tint of blood and the pleasure of chaos that follows. I am death and the Jackal knows it he hides at the very whisper of my presence for he know he cannot escape retribution.

[Dave]

Rueben I would think hard before taking this position seriously as the real story has yet to unfold. The Jackal has many guises and his reputation is world-renowned, so, like the Pimpernel or The Ripper, he will be elusive to the last.

[Henry K. (hkobb7)]

Mr. Oluwagembi, I would recommend that you take the Joburg job. You'll be able to put your information about the Jackal and the mercenary tasked to kill him into the mainstream, and without this chance, the knowledge of these two people will forever be relegated to this blog. This kind of loss of knowledge should be an awful concept for a journalist like yourself.

Take the assignment. You have to do what you do because nobody else will. If anything endures throughout history it is the written account of it. Whether it's published widely or not, you have to do it. It's the right thing to do.

He was right, you know. "What a man can do is what a man will do."

So Where in Africa is this war going on at?

[Jobless]

The recent developments I have caused in this country lead me to believe that I was out of a job. And that you were done with yours. But now it is open season, so to speak, between the mercenaries. There isn't a source of authority to be found...and I am sitting low until then. I am here for the diamonds, not petty fighting. I am a survivor. This chaotic period won't last Reuben...and neither will your 'peaceful' office job. You are the last reporter of your kind in this country. Choose wisely.

Blogs are good for every one where we get lots of information for any topics nice job keep it up !!!

Hehe...yeah - you got it...and, don't be surprised WE ALL do know that...now ongoing for months, but no problem with that, just be a part of this (fictional) world.

Although as you may have seen right now in the news (Kongo) - its not really far from being real.

[Dust and Echoes]

Greetings Reuben. I congratulate you on your promotion, but I recommend you think about the situation before making any rash decisions. Personally, I would say decline the offer. You've done so much, and worked so hard. You can't let that all be flushed away. And be careful. The Jackal may not be the only force at work here. Every decision, by every person, has a consequence. Consider this and get something for self defense. You may not necessarily need it, but its a better alternative to death

[Sceptism]

I dont think thats real anymore...I used to think so...but I think thats a fiction blog...first of all...look at the url... .com is a commercial end, so it does have lucratives goals. and secondly...look on top, the image is the bottom of a Far Cry2 screenshot...
(http://farcry.us.ubi.com/index.php ) I dare anyone to tell me and show me in a map where is Port saleo, in which country.

[Yxxa Zu]

Congratulations, Reuben! Hope to hear more from you soon.

[CruelTeacher]

Congrats on your promotion Reuben!

You should include your family when deciding to accept this desk-job...

Of course the world should "see" what's really going on first hand but you have responsibilities too.

[Impungushe]

Please don't leave! The Jackal needs you, the mercenary you met needs you, you can't leave, all the citizen need you, you are the only on who knows the truth!
