Default SEIV E-NewsPaper??

Hey people, i was reading that "101 ways to tell you're addicted to SE" and had that idea come to me.

How about organizing a weekly e-mail newspaper for out little SE community? Much is going on here, and it would be great if it could be put on a centralized newspaper.

Think about it. Everyone can write their articles if they are willing. A place for RP with a different one each week (from what i know there are a lot of them and even more ideas, just not everyone writes them all here). SEIV Humour section, Mod & Race spotlight with reviews of varied mods and races... and so on! news on top of all, but there are a lot more things to write there.

Anyone interested? I alone could not possibly carry out a project of that scale but...

Love the idea... But getting people to actually take the time to make this idea work would be hard. I know I couldn't contribute, even though I'd love to. Just don't got the time. Hardly have time for what I do now. But I would love to see this go through...

you say you couldnt find the time to contribute. i think you could - if it ever comes out it'll be a weekly one meaning you have the whole week to write something. You dont have to be a registered reporter to submit articles. I am sure that if you find time to write ideas, questions, and playing here you could find time to do the same with the newspaper.

anyone else?

I am in.

Talk to Fyron and SJ on this one. since they both like to write.

I think the weekly thing will be too much perhaps every 2 weeks or every month.

I think that would be cool. Different people have topic areas that they could write about, the most they are most familiar with obviously. Some on modding, some on specific tactics, some on how best to use the racial techs, etc.

ok, one person is interested. anyone else?

Lupusman: yes you've got the idea right

My initial idea is to have Modders', Humour, TDM, Tactical, Races&Mods places. Plus of course varied articles from the different people.

You know it would not be a seiv newsletter without a section called

Cantina Point Counter Point

You could then have a topic that

tigga vs gyphin
tigga vs saxon
tigga vs dogscoff
gyphin vs saxon
gyphin vs dogscoff
mac vs saxon
would debate on.
well you know where i am going with this.

It would be a great addition to the newsletter.

And you could have someone write an article about the se ladder

If it doesn't have to be too long, I would be more than happy to contribute some fiction...
