The RoundTable!

Glad you're enjoying it!

Good catch on the typo… it should be "agrees" – I'll fix that.
Also, I'm not sure why it clipped off the bottom there, I'll fix that also.

Anything else before I get in and start editing?

In what program did you make that? If you make it in paint when you try to drag the window in the right shape, it can sometimes either clip off or produce a white area at the edge. When you work in photoshop I have no idea how it could clip off

edit: You can go ahead and make the changes btw.

 

[General_W]

Actually I use a very cool opensource program called "paint.net" – more like photoshop than it is like MSpaint.
I've looked at it, and it was my fault, just sloppy spacing.
The white border on the top and right side is intentional… gives it dimension and a "paper" edge

Here's Draft #2:

Again, I plan to post this in the UN after the save is played, unless there are any objections?

Dear Editor,

I really must protest at your qualification of "blatant thievery" concerning the renovation of The Great Chamber. Funds for this improvement were freely donated by the people to the mace-equipped gift collectors, and besides, I was getting back pains from that rock I had to sit on.



Good work.

 

[donsig]

Great stuff!

 

[General_W]

Thanks all

It's now posted in the UN!
I got the scariest looking "medieval infantry" unit I could find. I hope it scares BABE!
(maybe I should have edited in a bloody horse-head on the end of the pike? )

Thanks for the feedback and encouragement!

 

[Paul#42]

phantastic!

Ah...now i see this.

I am not sure how this will be interpreted by a possible enemy.

Our strong desire to publish such a sign of strenght might be interpreted not as a sign of strenght, but someone who wishes to be perceived as stronger than they actually are.

 

[General_W]

It's about time for another edition of The RoundTable.

I'll be working on the rough draft news stories over the weekend, but wanted to give the opportunity for anyone to suggest an alternate news story if they've got a good/better idea.

Initial Plans:

• Gong Library Cover-Up reports that the new Great Library is a front for a spy agency
• Sea-Side Sorrows Reports a real estate crash for ocean front property
• Four is a Crowd? Reports that the Middle Ages are no longer fashionable, too many people in them

Hopefully I can have something ready by early next week at the latest.

 

[General_W]

Proposed newspaper for immediate release…
Any objections?

Hope you enjoy!

 

[zyxy]

Funny!

340%?

 

[peter grimes]

Roll the Presses!

 

[General_W]

glad you liked it!

I'm going to post it in the UN now.

 

[AutomatedTeller]

very nice

 

[donsig]

Great stuff (again).

 

[sirdanilot]

Nice stuff!

 

[General_W]

Glad you all enjoyed it!
Thanks for the kind words!

And I'm glad that The Council could inject a little fun in the UN forum that so desperately needs it these days…

 

[General_W]

This has no relevance to our game at all…

But I think it's funny and wanted to give all of you that don't participate in the Civ4 MTDG a chance to see it.

My team (Epsilon, The Leader) has just declared war on Team Loco (most active players: Joe Harker, Koondrad, jeejeep)

This is how we made our declaration of war…

Hope you get a chuckle out of it!

 

[Niklas]

Absolutely wonderful!

 

[peter grimes]

My team (Epsilon, The Leader)....

Eh hem! Getting a little big for our britches, General_W?

I believe you'll find my name first in the Team Roster, as I was the first person to pledge allegiance to The Leader

But seriously - it's not too late to get involved in that game - There are 5 teams, which makes for interesting diplomacy :crazyeyes:
