The Jungle Gazette: proposal to increase member activity.

[UnOrthOdOx]

I submit that although many are interested in our game, they have found it too difficult to keep up and follow the game, and therefore left.

The Jungle Gazette is our chance to change that. While a weekly paper currently, I have plans that will make at least the news portion by-weekly, to be sure to include ALL major discussions and polls.

I propose, and will need massive assistance in pulling this off, Messaging a link to the first issue, along with a statement that I will pen, and a means to subscribe to EVERYONE who has signed in on the "welcome and join" thread. This will, hopefully, bring in people who cannot keep up on their own, but would when presented with organized information.

What say you fellow citizens?

[notyoueither]

You are on to a good thing. Better luck to you than your predecessors enjoyed.

I heard Siro went down to a troop of berzerker monkeys while scouting for a banana special.

Rumours are that MoralHazard contracted leprosy while on a trip into the jungle. He lives in seclusion now.

[Donal Graeme]

An excellent idea. Assimilating information is difficult at the moment, and such an idea has merit in improving the situation. You should bring that up with the prez.

What does the government have to do with a free press?

Hey UnOrthOdOx, I've just created a newspaper, but I'm no journalist, but I was wondering if you'd like me to help you out in the graphical area?

I'm not sure how you want to make the newspapers but I've made the newspaper in html format and I think it would be a good idea to send these newspapers once or twice a week via ppl's email and have it on the official website.

Let me know if you are interested in me helping you out.

Here's the newspaper: http://www.angelfire.com/amiga/iceda...per/July10.htm

[FrostyBoy]

oh btw, everything written in there isn't meant to be taken seriously, it's just purely for example.

[notyoueither]

That's too cool Sn00p dog.

[Duddha]

Could the Hawk party put adds in the paper?

[FrostyBoy]

COOL IDEA Duddha

[Will 5001]

Good idea its true that many have lost interest, I am sure this will generate added member activity as long as it is in an accesible place. (maybe members could add a link to their signature?, to make the newspaper almost impossible to miss!!)

[Will 5001]

Oh and I just had a look in at Sn00py's newspaper, that great work, we really need these newspapers!!!

[Adagio]

Great work, with that news paper...

[UnOrthOdOx]

Um, Sn00py, that is great! I have NO knowledge of html, however. Mine will be a thread here with a compilation of links. Read this thread to see my format. If you want to take that info and turn it into something like that, I would love it! You would likely need several pages, however. I could send you things via wordpad, or word if that would help...Im not a internet person, just databases...

Duddha, you will see that there is a section on party politics where all parties will be asked a question and be able to respond. If a party wants more, it will come at the end somewhere in the letters to te editor section. Perhaps have someone write why they love the Hawks? Don't know about adds at the moment.

[FrostyBoy]

Do you have ICQ UnOthOdOx? We would work much better through it.

[UnOrthOdOx]

Bleh. I don't here at work. I could put it on at home again, if someone will teach me how to filter all the...garbage...out that I was getting. I will DL it tonight and perhaps you can show me how to use it...

As I said, my computer expertise is in the systems here at work...(and most are old...)
