    CNN type E-Mag for the next ACDG?

    Heah All,

    I've been talking with CEO Googlie and Datajack johndmuller and they both like the idea of creating an E-Mag like the CNN webpage for the next ACDG. Essentially various Factions would be responsible for contributing certain sections of the E-Mag based upon their Factions attributes. So for example the Morganites would be ideal for contributing the Business and Entertainment articles, the Data Angels would be the Gossip Columnists or rumour spreaders, the Spartans could do give backgrounds on local conflicts and tell us what their mercenaries are up to, and the Gaians could be responsible for items such as predicting local weather patterns (i.e. meterologists), tips on how to treat native life forms, gardening techniques on Planet, and preachers in regards to not despoiling Planet the way we did on Earth.
    CEO Googlie has volunteered to modify a webpage he has in order to serve as this function. The democratically elected Gaian Senate has approved their participation in this.
    Any opinions on this idea from everyone else? Anybody wanna be an editorial contributor, or responsible for predicting weather patterns over Morgan Industries? ;-)

    And if Dale DOES choose self exile, then 'poly just lost another one of their star gaming contributors, and that's a pity, since this is still a gaming site.

    with the condition that this ACDG doesn`t end in two weeks (which is not likely gamewise).

    Another good idea by Gaians

    It won't get anywhere without the proper financial backing of the morgan empire!!

    This isn't a cleverly designed spam thread, is it?

    No. But start an "error" one if you wish one.

    I hope you're not looking solely at me?

    And an 'error' thread can be arranged if the need arises...

    Well it is basicaly what you have described, just slightly different. And it is one of good ideas. I hope this start one day, no need to start it immediately.

    Well I was thinking more like newspapers in posts, rather than an actual webpage.

    Well if webpage doesn't get off there are posts. And if does get off as a webpage, we can do it both.

    I see it being a topped thread, with different editions coming out. All can contribute (by PM perhaps?), and Kody and I can compile them.
    Be good, and if at first you don't succeed, perhaps failure will be back in fashion soon. -- teh Spamski

    Sounds like an idea. But first I'm hoping to get the introduction thread and news items finished and let the turnplayers settle in.
