The newspaper is no more.
« on: December 30, 2007, 11:25:44 pm »
Sorry to all who liked the Yliakum Chronicle, but a problem arose that forces me to quit making it, at least until certain issues are resolved. Those who paid me for sponsorship will be refunded fully.

Thanks everybody, it was fun, and I really appreciated the great feedback.

Well that's a shame. I didn't even get to buy an issue. :(

I hope it can be resolved. It was a great paper.

Heh, I never even saw you in game. The discussion to name lasted longer than the paper?  :'(

I see the forum cynics can always be counted on.

it's what happen when you become old and crusty.

they also don't have access to all the forum boards so they don't understand the true reasons why the paper is on hiatus for the time being.

Now that can count as a kind way to let the player-base know they, as part of the majority, are actually knowing heck but dont matter anyway. Not sure if some a bit more cunningly chosen words would have been better. Disappoints, but unfortunately doesnt surprise me.

I unfortunately couldnt read that new paper. I heard of it not too long ago and I was looking forward for having a new ingame news-platform.
Keep on it and bring it up again!

You will get your refund if you ask it. And I will pay out the contest prizes for the last edition also, so keep looking for the hidden item. It hasn't been found yet :)

Very sad to hear this. I wonder if the Octarchy is trying to silence honest news reporters here. Perhaps, Giraut, we should meet. If we band together we will surely be victorious over the ones that attempt to keep information from the public!

Don't you think there are forums for the game masters to work out issues with in the community? Please people stop trying to make it out to be like your left out of things on purpose by the PlaneShift staff. You are not! I have been there and seen it for myself. They work out issues to better help the players in game.  Also Neko's comment is to let all of you know that there is more to it than just Giraut shutting down the paper. Maybe an issue has come up that the general public doesn't know about and doesn't need to be involved in until the GM's work it out. That's pertty much what I am getting from Neko's comment.

Chill Zorbs... Chill.

For my part I care little about reasons... Just pointing out facts. There have been different reasons for different papers closing throughout the history of PS, what does it really matter? I wasn't insinuating that the editor was a failure as a person.
