~ MIA International Tribune ~

@ybbor: No - that's burried in chats... I'm sure of it! ;)

@ Regent Man: Thank you! Glad you enjoy it.

@ Editor-in-Chief Peter: Thanks for the catch... but are you sure? Maybe I should just re-word that sentence anyway.
 
Nicely done ... from Robi's feedback in the last Nut chat, you have fans abroad ... you may very well get others offering articles ... dare I say a real UN paper happening :thumbsup:

Keep it up and the hard work is apprciated :D
 
In the article about Hoplites, your text reads: ....news of the last barbarians defeat.... It should read ....news of the last barbarian's defeat....

I'm sure. There is a possessive in there that demands the apostrophe S. It's clearer when reworded: ....news of the defeat of the last barbarians....

either wording is good. But if you stay with the shorter one, there should be an apostrophe.
 
the word should be barbarians' ... as they are in fact plural ... or even better just barbarian, the collective of all those designated uncivilized and savage :p

News of the last barbarian defeat ... ;)
 
lol - darn those apostrophes! apostrophe's?

Anyway - decided to go with "barbarian's defeat" since he was the last one (singular) and it was his defeat (possessive) - I think that makes the most sense.

Posting it in the UN thread now.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback!
 
Do i hear a propaganda war comeing?
 
Hey Mr Editor ... could we have a little side note in the paper about the name change from QWERTY to Dismal Swamp.

Reason ... I'm not sure what happened but remember the Provo era ... extended and somewhat heated dicussion about this very topic of changing names of cities.
 
Might be a humourous comment when Collussus is completed

Citizens and Guests were shocked with many women swooning and even fainting when the Colossus was unveiled in Athens, for replacing the expected stately form of Elder with Abacus was the magnificent bronzed Proud Greek, a large naked man straddling the harbour with firm buttocks defiantly pointed northwards.

The Foreign Department who funded a large portion of the project, officially commented 'that this statue is a celebration of MIA greatness symbolised in the perfect form of Greek Manhood'.

An unofficial source suggests that at the last minute the Foreign Offices threatened to cut funding unless the new design was accepted and further speculated that there could be a link with the recent difficulties in the Feaurius household concerning 'activities' between a favourite cousin and a high ranking KISS official. Socialite Matilda Nefearius was unavailable for comment as she has unexpectedly joined the Silent Nuns of Meleet who care for the sick in their mountain hospices.

An unexpected bonus to the Colossus is that the citizens of Athens can now easily tell the passing of time by the shadow movement from the midsection which proudly points seaward.

... you get the idea ;)
 
Great bit, Fe! I really like the North/South stuff :)

EDIT: Maybe I'll try to pen an article as well, to take some of the pressure of General_W. Do you Australians pay taxes? Ours are all due by April 15 (17th, this year), so I can't imagine General_W getting the flu right around now!
 
:lol:

Warning: This newspaper has been rated pg-13


I love it - I'll get togeather another paper as soon as I get some more time. Things are just crazy right now.

Everyone, please feel free to submit ideas!
I may have to modify them somewhat, but I'd love to have multiple contributors! :)
 
I propose this to go in the next edition.

The 10 Best Reasons For a World War!

10. I know where you live....

9. I am a God, and you must do what i say!

8. There is a funny looking thing that the Persians built, which is supposedly wonderful. Therefore, all civs would want it.

7. The best weapons available to any army involve bashing the enemy across the head with something heavy.

6. Wars make everyone's scientific research go faster.

5. The Great God Meleet, and the Holy RNG will be mucj more interested if they see 4 civilizations throwing units pointlessly at each other.
4. Gallic swords vs Immortals vs Mounties vs Hoplites would be awesome.

3. I like the number 3, and a war would kill off at least one civ.

2.Each civilization has been trading faulty goods to each other. For example, the Iroquois trading wines have been poisoned, the swords traded by the Celts are flimsy, the Persians have sent out Dinsog (although they denyed it too my face, i heard them talking...) and the Greeks have been giving out fools gold.

and, the #1 reason why there should be a World War
1. A long war spanning 2 and a 1/2 eras is just the thing to bring people back to the MTDG. And thats all that matters, right?

Disclaimer: All veiws expressed here are formed by the a non government member of MIA known as azzaman333. His veiws tend to be very biased towards warmongering. Use of any of these reasons to declare war is foolish, and azzaman333 will not take any responsibility for actions based on a reason here. Think of your own stupid reasons for war.

Hooray!

Here's a new version of the MIA International Tribune!
Hope you like the "new" look ;)

I had to shorten Azza's contribution... and do a little edit work on Fe's... but I hope you all like the result.
Thanks for the contributions!

I'll leave it here for a few hours for comment... then post it in the UN thread... to serve as an announcement of the Colossus as Rik has requested.

:salute:



EDIT: Now posted in the UN thread!
 
So – I've been thinking our next Edition should have a comics section.

I worked up 2 quick Ideas…

And I was trying to come up with one to maybe make fun of the KISS "Crazy Eye" Newspaper, but all my ideas were lame.
Anyone want to fill in the bubbles?

Spoiler :

Here's my best KISS idea...

Do we like the comic idea in general?
Any other ideas on my 2 comics?
