Personally I don't think naming the newspaper Crystal Chronicle is a bad idea. Actually I think it is a great idea. The point is your trying to stick with the settings and that is a good thing. Your considering the dev staff's hard work with the settings. I am sure you could come up with names for the newspaper till hell freezes over, people will still be able to argue it. It is all semantics. We are all behind you with the newspaper idea and no one seems to disagree. Why nitpick? Since it was your idea Giraut Mawhrin, I think you should name it whatever you want. Especially if your successful with it and have been putting the work into it. 

Maybe he wants to be original?

Maybe.

Seems to me he was happy with Crystal Chornicle though. That is the impression I got from his first post. I see others in this thread more concerned about the name being original. Which is good if they give suggestions of names that fit better. I see him trying to accommodate changing the name but he isn't going to make everyone happy. I was just pointing out to him that it seems fine with the name he has and to not stress so much about it. Besides it can always be changed.

He didn't realize it when he first created the name. But it doesn't matter.

I agree... a good newspaper would be appreciated. If it's well done... if it's not, then it'll be boring and useless, but if it is it could be a really good IC way to keep people aware of what's going on.

I hope this succeeds, I bought a copy and I really like it. \\o// I think that if it is filled with interesting stuff every edition then I will continue to buy it. Good luck  :)

Well, if someone isn't happy with the name, I'm happy to change it. I'm not here to impose anything :) Besides, the Crystal Chronicle name has two drawbacks: (1) it is taken (confusing), and (2) try googling "Crystal Chronicle" and you'll only get FF links. If I ever put backissues of the Yliakum Chronicle online, it'll be a bit of a pain.

It will be alot of hard work but it would be nice to see someone pull this off again.

When I made the Herald a while back, it was just too much work. And people kept p*ing me off about this and that article that I rejected, and others were unhappy because I didn't want to give them the title of ed in chief when they had contributed one measly piece, etc etc... Eventually it was too much and I gave the Herald to someone who promptly disappeared and killed it.

The Herald was very successful for the short time it existed, so I'm hoping to do the same with the Chronicle. Only this time, it'll be a weekly mag instead of daily (less work) and I won't really care if people are unhappy with it :-) So far, the response has been good though, and people are willing to give it another shot.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words everybody. And remember, if you want to run an ad, contribute articles or sponsor the paper, just contact me in-game, I'll be at your disposal :)
