The Stone Tablet (Get Caught Up On the News)

[ice2k4]

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.

Published Volumes:
Volume 1
Volume 2
Volume 3
Volume 4

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:

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

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.

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

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.

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.)

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

 

[DaveShack]

Outstanding!

I'll try to upkeep it through the rest of the game. Formatting alone took me an hour or so though.
