New skill: [penmanship 2] : News Reporting

It'd be absolutely wonderful to have a spin-off of penmanship where you could write a newspaper.
People could subscribe to it; you could have other people write parts of it- and the frogs could deliver it.
You could also have a small fee  for subscriptions.

Pleeeeassse?!

  • Awesome!! How about regular and premium subscriptions? For mailbox vs express delivery

  • See..  it would have actual columns like a newspaper and the ability to put in small avatar-based or eyeballery based pictures (In small)  for articles!

    Imagine, your own "Marrakesh Meadows News"

    or a newspaper you subscribe to weekly called "Conspiracy Inc" coming right to your mailbox!

  • yesssssss! 
    This is so great. There could be one for project updates too -- the latest ones, the leaderboard reports, photos from the project in progress. :9

    And they could have a rating system, which would help with quality control :3

  • Plus.. you could have a subscription fee of say, 30c.  (Not a big fee) but say you do an awesome paper and get 200 subscribers.. that's easily 6k every time you send it out (Minus frog delivery fees).

  • I'd love that because printing 100 lotto tickets for the 50,000c home lotto recently was a pain. I'd use it for that as well.

  • I was thinking of something similar - Penpersonship >1 would allow you to compile various pages of writing into a Book. or a Zine. or something of that nature. And maybe a later on skill would allow you to Publish and Distribute your writing.

    Since Paper trees are predominantly in the ancestral lands I'm guessing they're actually really important to the backstory of Ur, so I'm really surprised that the skill tends to be ignored and forgotten. I've tried writing and selling fortune cookies but they don't take at auctions, so more things to do with this would be handy.

  • Newspaper Ad  "posting your auction"

    Knock off all the silly ideas, Except this

    Pay to have your ad posted "costing about 10cc"
    in the newspaper with the ability of "penmanship 2"

    you having the ability to write what you want in your newspaper ad.

    Community Newspaper.

  • It might be useful for learning of auctions and/or street projects, but if the 'newspaper' can be discarded and we start seeing used newspapers all over ...

  • Penpersonship 2 could include newspapers, sign posts and even books (perhaps a player run library for people to store books in?).
    I like the idea.

  • Penpersonship 2 could (possibly) allow players to learn recipes/compounds that they haven't unlocked yet.
