NationStates Jolt Archive

I was thinking that maybe if a group of NSers wanted to help me, we could create a NationStates Newspaper. Important events, invasions, new technologies, stats, cool threads. Stuff like that. I have lots of ideas, but I'll need a LOT of helpers and writers and so forth. E-mail me at think2th2@hotmail.com if you have any comments, or if you would like to help me with the N.S.N.

Thanks, people.

Or telegram me. That too. Prababley easier.

Sorry, mate, but this might just bit a bit TOO ambitious.

There is a lot going on in the NationStates world;I mean it is inhabited by some 100,000 nations or so. And crap happens so fast you might miss it.

I only dislike the idea because the idea itself is really ambitious. If you (somehow :shock: ) make the newspaper work, then I will not only stand corrected, I'd probably use it too.

Just tread carefully.

I know its ambitious. VERY ambitious. But I *sort of* have a plan, bud. See, I'll get maybe as many as 50 people in different time zones to send me important events, and Ill edit the note-worthy ones. Also, if the Newpaper actually gets read, I'll probably have people emailing and telegramming me with their own stories that they want included.

Naturally, most of the stories would be quite brief, since I need to go get high once in a while. But hopefully, I can make this ambitious daydream a struggling reality, with the help of some dedicated NS'ers.

Check out http://networkradio.proboards21.com and the region NetworkRadio. That news service has been around since the start of July, and reports on events in the NS World side of the game.

Hmmm yeah I visited that site a few months ago when I had my other country, but there isn't actually a whole lot of news going on there.

TG, that network records only region invasion and crasher wars. This guy is trying to organize an RP newspaper.

Exactly.

I can't really help, but I'm sure that, ICly, my Conglomerate would be glad to sponsor and invest in this.

Edit: would this even be an IC newspaper service?

Okay. Well, people; spread the word around; if anyone has a lot of free time that they spend in the NS forums, get 'em to telegram me, or add me on MSN Messenger.

Peace,
John-with-the-Fro.

I would be willing to help you. If you wanted I do have webspace to host it on... I have just added you on messenger (My current name is SOTLAND 1-0 Holland Yey!)

Yes.

Am thinking would be good idea. If people knew what was going on, they wouldn't keep trying to take my land! Unless they're just doing it to annoy me....

Hahahah. Yes. So peoples, just e-mail or telegram me if ya got some ideas, and add me to MSN if you actually wanna help. Okay? I already have the Belmore Family helping, but I need at least 5 others.

Thanks!

You'd probably be far better off by soliciting "Press Releases" from the posting public. If a country wants their "Press Release" in the paper, they can post it on your thread. Once a week (or however often you feel like publishing a new edition), you can edit the first post with a link to the New edition farther back in the thread (or perhaps a new thread for each new edition would be better) below the links to the previous issues.

Each issue could be as simple as a set of links to various "press releases" that you (as Editor In Chief) have selected to be in that issue, with a brief comment by you with each link (similar to the way Google News is organized). A few important stories culled from the forums that didn't send in a "press release" could also be included.

Be warned in advance that this is going to be a massive headache for you and the suck ... civic-minded players you manage to con ... persuade to be your assistants. It will also be fairly surreal, given the wide disparity of tech levels in the game.

Once you get this running, I'll be happy to submit "press releases" from time to time. I'll probably also submit links to threads I've found that I think you might like to include. Since I have a full-time job in the Navy, these inputs will be sporadic at best, but that's the best I can do.

Hmmmm well the press releases were part of my original plan, but as additional sources of news, and I think they'll stay that way. But thanks for the ideas about the organisation.

I'd definately join Sounds like fun. ^_^

YEAH go you. email me or sumthin.

I will... just not now...

Okay... That's a little bit confusing, but suuuuuure. Okay here's what I'm going to do. We're going to advertise this thread a little more so it gets some exposure, and more people willing to help us. Then I will collect the e-mail addresses of all these people so I can issue reports and so forth, and they can send them back. I think the Belmore Family has webspace for us to host on. So when we get our first NSN team together, we'll start work. That should be in a week or so. For now -- advertise!

Okay. Me and Terra Matsu have decided that we will start work in the next week. Here is how it is going to work. If you want to do a story for NSN, (NationStates News), just pick and interesting looking thread. Check that no one else form NSN is covering it; and then post something that indicates to other reporters that YOU are covering it, such as "NSN is officially covering this event." something small like that. Don't interfere with the thread. At the end of the day, please send the rough copy of your article to me, and I will edit it and post it. Thank you.

Are we supposed to announce RP's (wars, conferences, parties, etc.)?

Here be an RP...

don't be stupid and announce things that aren't readily known though...

I try not to be stupid, in general, although all the cocaine makes it hard. ;)

Hehehe. Just kidding. I don't like doing cocaine -- the high is TOO high.
Yeah, anounce RP's you want to be covered, for now. EVENTUALLY we'll be covering pretty much everything, but for now, we're accepting 'press releases'. Thanks for supporting the NSN!

Daamfeck, do we have anymore writers?

Not as of now. :? Oh by the way: people, if you want us to report your thread, either post here, or just type 'NSN' somewhere in the thread, and I will search for it and find it. Thanks.

I could do an editorial from time to time...but my IC and RL schedules are too random to do a constant column.

Thats cool. Thanks, SB.
