Title: Newspaper
Post by: Kixie on February 29, 2004, 11:40:38 pm: I\'m starting a weekly newspaper people, and i need your help! I will be posting a weekly newspaper and i am in need of journalists. \'What do the journalists do?\' you ask, they find daily happenings, funny stories and bring screenshots of the action. Anything ps related actually. i will also have a rumor column so any rumors can be sent to me directly as well. I of course will be editor and will be making a website that looks like a newspaper. So send me those stories and talk to me in game. Im kixie of course, so send me information like stories, screenshots and rumors at supercoolsuperspud@hotmail.com

Start finding those stories NOW!

Post by: Grakrim on March 06, 2004, 12:43:01 am: Yuck, Geocities... You should try and get a server with server-side scripting (i.e. php or perl) and all that jazz... I\'m sure if you pester people enough someone will host it for you...

I\'ll help you out if I can find anything interesting to write about; are there saleries for reporters, by any chance? And do we get expense accounts?
