So I'm starting up an Org newsletter...

[Ianofsmeg16]

Anyone want to help, I'll post it here for everyone to see, say monthly, and it'll basically be used to keep track of the hottest threads, modding news (I'll post links to ER's mod roundup here), new stories etc

So if you PM me with things that you think should be in the Newsletter and i ask again, does anyone wish to help me? they'll have to be dedicated to finding stuff etc so i dont particulaly want casual volunteers.

Thanks for any help in advance :2thumbsup:

The Team:
Ianofsmeg16: Editor
Tiberius: reporter (general)
ZainDustin: Reporter (Arcade)
Craterus: Reporter (General)
Ace_Genral: Reporter (New Members)
Dutch_Guy: Reporter (PBM)
Wakizashi: Reporter (Modifications)

[InsaneApache]

Nice idea. :2thumbsup:

[ZombieFriedNuts]

cool where will you post it

:barrel:

[Ianofsmeg16]

I'll post it in here (the Entrance Hall)

[TheSilverKnight]

Good plan

[Avicenna]

I could help part-time, pm-ing you the popular threads I spot. (usually hang around on the .org now since I can't access any games and I finish work quickly)

[Ianofsmeg16]

@Tiberius: Thanks for you offer, if you'd like to scan around for threads and pm me that would be awesome! welcome to the team!

[Zain]

I can help. I'd like to be the one in charge of letting you know about the arcade events. Since it's my specialty and all... :cool:

Would that be okay?

-ZainDustin

[Ianofsmeg16]

Zain, that would be awesome!, I'll add you to the team.

[Zain]

Thanks, i'll be on the lookout for tournaments and stuff.

[Ianofsmeg16]

I'm still looking for volunteers guys!

Thanks.

[Craterus]

Hello!

What do you need me to do?

[Ianofsmeg16]

Anything Craterus mate, just look around for popular threads and pm the links to me, if you want to write stuff about them, that would be fine, in fact that would be awesome!

[Craterus]

OK dude, count me in.

[ace_genral]

Could i write a section keeping track of new members.

(part time though)

[Ianofsmeg16]

Craterus mate, if you want you can look for our 'Headline story', it can be anything from anywhere in the forums, you dont even have to write it (although that would be awesome) just give me the details along with some notes and that will be that.

I'm hoping to get the first issue done for this weekend, so guys, get reporting!

If you want, that would be great.

[ace_genral]

k,
i'll do that, im wondering, whens the first issue.

[Ianofsmeg16]

Hoping to get an issue out for the Weekend, Friday would be best.

[Zain]

Friday... excellent. Hey, all the people a part of this should put their title in their sub-name. For example instead of mine being "Arcade King" I would change that to "Arcade Reporter" or something. That's so people will know you are with the group and they can send you some stuff to further great-ify the newsletter. (Like my word I made up? :laugh:)

Just an idea.... I'm not going to change my sub until I get the Lead Editor to okay it. Btw... I've sent you something Ianofsmeg16. (Is their a meaning to your name?

I don't think you want to know, zain.

[Franconicus]

:2thumbsup: Great idea!
You should write about the new subdirectory in the Monastery and about the multi-authors story in the Mead Hall!

[R'as al Ghul]

Will this newsletter go out per email?
You'll need a spot where patrons can subscribe and unsubscribe to it.

[Zain]

I don't think you want to know, zain.


Oh, okay. That's cool, I just wanted to know because it's one of the first ones I've had to look twice to make sure I spelled it correctly.

Like the idea (and the word :laugh4: ) if you want to change your sub names thats fine by me!


(Is their a meaning to your name?
From a t.v program called Red Dwarf, the word smeg is a word they made up instead of using swears in the program:2thumbsup:

[Avicenna]

I thought it was also English slang for... dirt which can be found in the male anatomy.

[Dutch_guy]

Ian,

I like your Idea, and would love to help.

The rest is in the PM I sent you.

:balloon2:

[Ianofsmeg16]

Well it is, but the tv program Red Dwarf used it more.

@Dutch Guy: I'll add you to the team :2thumbsup:

How are you planning to allow people to subcribe/unsubscribe to this? Will you be including screenshots and other images which would be cool? More info. Also no offence but does anybody really want to read about new members? I love seeing new patrons at the org but what will it be, a list of people registered within the past week? Or something different that I'm missing? Is this strictly Org related or general TW community info (IE. M2TW news) too?

More info about what this'll be like.

I'm not sure how to allow people to subscribe/unsubscribe to this, what it will be is a thread bi-monthly that sums up the news of the org. The Backrrom section will contain info about the hot threads, including the news article it encompasses. It will also have news relating to the games, STW, MTW, RTW and MTW2.

The New members section is a good idea I think, It shows that the org cares about its new members, so much so that it feels like mentioning them in their news. I want to add to the community spirit here, so the idea stays :2thumbsup:

Ian

Sent you a PM:balloon2: :2thumbsup:

[Ianofsmeg16]

Waki, I'll add you to the team as Mod reporter :D

I wasn't really saying don't include it, but more what it'll include. Are you planning just a list? Or just posting about active new members...etc.

[Zain]

I believe it's going to be a list.

Ianofsmeg16, when are you posting your Newsletter?

-ZainDustin

[Ianofsmeg16]

I was hoping for a release for today, I'll see what I have and I'll get typing it up.

[Zain]

hey, is that list in the beginning of this thread updated?

I need to know so I can PM everyone.

-ZainDustin

[Avicenna]

Argh.. you should probably delete my name, seeing how I always forget the newsletter. (sorry guys!)

[Dutch_guy]

-ZainDustin

Well I for one am still in.

And other than Tiberius quitting I think everyone else is still active too.

:balloon2:

[Craterus]

I can't be involved due to other commitments for two months. I may write some stuff then.
