What did you think of this weeks newspaper!? Good idea? Great idea? Would you like us to continue it? And is there anything that you'd like to see added to it?

I liked it!

And... if it's okay... I've been making a sprite comic in which the thread died because it's in the chatterbox... maybe I could PM you it and see if you like it for the newspaper 'comic' section?

Sounds great to me, oh and the newspaper was in its beta stage I suppose. We're looking to amp it up with graphics and other stuff. That one was solely created by Charles Brinhart, but the future ones, we want it to be a guild effort. Something that crew and members can work together alike to create something that will be truly great. So yeah send me the link, and I'll view it. Who knows we might try to recruit you into helping out some designs on the newspaper ^_^

I also would be interested in submitting comics. I don't have one uploaded just yet, so you'd have to wait until the end of the week to see it. If you don't like the comic, I guess I could write articles. If it's okay, that is. sweatdrop
PostPosted: Mon Sep 03, 2007 12:31 pm


Ah it all sounds good to me, just hit me up with the comics, whenever you get the chance, and I'll see what we can do with it all. Oh and writing articles? That'd be superb! Thanks for taking interest in it ^_^, if there's anything particular you want to take up, or to add something to it, just ask away.

Eventually we're going to need a graphic designer to help make the newspaper look better lol, at least enough to make it look like a newspaper instead of just random pages lol. So if anyone in the future wants to help out with that, feel free to as well.

Again, thanks both of you for wishing to be a part of it, I'll be more than happy to get you guys involved in the staff... actually I think we might just have a little thread eventually for the newspaper staff! That'd be so awesome!

Cool! As far as articles go, I can do whatever is needed. If you tell me what I'm supposed to write it about, I'll do the best I can.

Graphic design, I'm not too bad at. Wait, I think I'm trying to do too much here. I think I should just stop at comics and articles. XD
PostPosted: Mon Sep 03, 2007 1:21 pm


Well lol I am really glad you want to be involved so much, but yeah, we'll see what we come up with. I am actually surprised that we already have someone wanting in on helping so quickly, if more do, then yea we can just pull the resources together, and just have a person do something that they're really good at.

As far as articles, yup, we'd probably tell you what to write, and just take it from there. Or you can have your own little article about things as well, custom tailored to whatever you wish.

It is all just brainstorming right now, but brainstorming never hurt anyone ^_^

I thought the newspaper was absolutely brilliant!
PostPosted: Mon Sep 03, 2007 1:48 pm


Awesome! Glad to hear more feedback! Oh, also I forgot to tell you but, please feel free to post up in the introduce yourself, birthday list, as well as anywhere else you feel like really. We're pretty lenient, but yeah, the first two things can get you an easy 2 posts that'll help you earn your way to the ball ^_^

Wow! I am so happy to hear positive responses! And yay for people who wish to help out! It'll be a load off of my back haha.

Oh and I noticed that someone put on there that the newspaper could be better, and I agree, the only way to make it better though is through helping out on it! So if you wish to help, please come and throw your ideas around, or even join the newspaper staff. Mortal Being is allowing it, so I'll probably be on the head of the group biggrin , or just a reporter haha. Either way it'll be a lot of fun! So everyone join in on the action 3nodding

*raises her hand somewhat guiltily*

I liked it, but I saw lots of room to improve in that it was like Mortal Being said in it being just a bunch of pages.
I liked the tone to it and stuff, but there weren't any pictures to catch your eye, or anything to make it stand out....
x.x *feels guilty now, seeing as she was the only one who has pushed the 'could be better' vote*

Don't worry, Imalane, I felt the same way too [Though, I accidently checked the wrong box and clicked cast vote before I could change it... >>;].

I mean, it was wonderful, but like Imalane said, it could have used some improvement. Pictures to catch the eye would be a good thing to use. I liked how it was written, though there were a few spelling mistakes but who doesn't do that?

This was only the first newspaper, so I'm sure that it'll get better each time. I would love to be on the newspaper staff, and I think that its great that its not limited to certain members of the guild to take part in.

Overall, I think you did a good-job. Keep working on improving it though, and it could be even better!
PostPosted: Mon Sep 03, 2007 4:08 pm


Yeah graphics is an issue I had as well, but for the first one I thought it was a good job lol. Set the bar at a decent level, and just proceed to beat it every time we can, right? Anywho, yeah it isn't going to be a closed end deal, if you want in on it, all you have to do is ask.

As for spelling, yeah I think we might have an editorial group, probably one or two people proof read it and what not. I mean the first thing that caught my eye was 'efects' on the rp spotlight, so lol just a typo, but probably should of been affects XD. Everyone make mistakes so no problem. Like everyone said, it is good, but indeed it definitely can be better. So we'll keep reaching for the gold, and keep on aiming high.

Personally I am just glad that people are responding to it in a good manner that it was okay content. Although it seems to still lack stuff, it was more of a teaser/sampler of what will be inside of it. Once we get some more rps in the directory, and start recommending guilds and members, the guild will not only grow closer together as people because we really start to see each other talent, but it gives something that is a group work. So yeah, I just hope it continues to being positive, and I know the members in this guild, and I think there's nothing but 'positive' radiating from each and every one of you.
