Welcome to [civilization name]'s first periodical. This will serve to help newcomers as well as regulars who've been on a break get caught up on all the current demogame happenings. For a more detailed log of all the demogame happenings, you might want to check a history thread (not created yet.) All criticisms, suggestions and discussion is welcome here. As of right now the periodical will not be updated on a regular, set basis, although in the future it is likely to.

To write for this paper, you may post or pm your article to me.

The first issue is a little short, and is just a preview of what the paper will look like. Please also note that the majority of the articles will not contain any role playing, as it is hard to role play during the pre-game discussion. So articles may tend to be a little drab for the time being.

Here is the first issue:

Very nice indeed! Good job!

Great Job ice2k4! A newspaper can be fun. I did one back in one of the old DGs. Keep up the good work.

Good job! Like it!

You should add extracts from the threads if you want to make the first one bigger.

You should add extracts from the threads if you want to make the first one bigger. I was thinking of doing that, but that first issue was pretty rushed, as I was pressed for time, and I wanted to get it finished. The newspaper will read a lot nicer in the future, especially once the demogame actually starts.

good entertainment, keep it up :goodjob:

If you need someone to specifically look for stories for it, i'll join.

Will the text stile change as we progress in-game?

Possible, probably will, to reflect the time period. The background might also change to reflect time periods.

Nice. Go on,please.

Best regards,

Thanks. I'll be sure to upkeep this newspaper. All contributions to the paper are welcome (tonyf12 already sent me a full page story ;) )

The next edition will come out Thursday night (EST time) or Saturday during the day (est time.) I won't be home from Thursday morning until Saturday morning/afternoon (and at that point I might just crash.)

keep up the good work, if you need any help, lemme know!

I'll try my best to help if possible. Well done!

Volume 2 is even better than the first. Great job! :clap: I sure hope you can keep this up throughout the game. It's just the sort of thing that been lacking in previous games.

Outstanding! :thumbsup:

My first mention! :) (Hopefully not my last)

I must second DaveShack and third donsig in their praise of volume two!

Great Job!
How did you make it btw? Some special word-processor?

good stuff good stuff

Excellent, this is good stuff.

Great Job!

I did it all in Adobe Photoshop CS 2

I'm impressed, ice2k4. :goodjob:

The next issue is due around the 21st. ;)

I'de be happy to help and I like to right so if you pm me any stories you want me to work on I'll be more than happy (unless real life gets in the way).

And if you have more stories than you and jdubdixon can write, I'm happy to write a few too!

its the 23rd:gripe: :D

I'm waiting on a mega-story from one of our other writers. Sorry for the delays.

I'm sure it will be good. Can't wait to see it!

It's that time again. Oh and I couldn't resist the fashion section on page 3.

Good, all in all, but Furius forgot about the Bar Association...

Love the fashion section. Another good job though this seems to be turning into a bit of a political rag. We may need another rag to counter the slight slant seen here. :lol:

Remember you promised to keep this going even if you take office!

How many mentions do you need in the one paper?! :p




Fine... I forgot about them... Sorry

We can always declare a coup if he starts slacking on the paper :mischief:

But that's horrible: to lose a good politician to keep a newspaper writer!

Best regards,

My articles have no slant. Articles that pertain to me or issues that I feel strongly about, are written by other people. :)

And yes I do plan to continue the paper, even if I get elected.

Better change your account name to Berlusconi then :P.

Berlusconi is a chump, only owning 90% of the italian media. Me, I go for the full 100% :p

I hope this makes it to the newspaper too and that isn't censored out :D. You gave me something to think about though. And no, I won't tell you what.

Hmm.. I think I might start up a competeing newspaper if I can find a download for the program you use or at least something similar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Salutations,
Shattered

I use adobe photoshop cs 2, but that's because I got a free copy. I really don't know any other image editing programs to recommend you to.

Well I just got a copy of the same program from a buddy of mine. I'm going to think about it for a while before I truely decide to make a competeing newspaper.

We can always declare a coup if he starts slacking on the paper :mischief:

Not that I'm going to, but I feel like nagging...

Anyway, ice24k, if you don't have time to write articles you can always ask!

Writing the articles doesn't take as much time as the gruesome job of formatting does. Either way I do not plan to run for any office next term, and I will be dedicating much of my time to this paper. The paper has been on my mind lately, and I do realize that I didn't keep my promise of keeping it up while being chieftain (sorry guys.)

Do look forward to a mega issue soon.

Don't worry although it would be nice to read about our first chaotic first month

Nice work :)

:goodjob:

But isn't it Yasutan instead of Yastuan? :p

Woops :blush: Didn't catch that one. It will be fixed shortly.

As always, a good read. Thanks for the effort.
