Topic

The Ur Weekly

I have been thinking after seeing a post about having a newspaper in the ideas thread...... so, I decided to establish a newspaper!

However, a newspaper is clearly not a one person job......so I'm looking for volunteers! I will probably be able to spring for paper and Quills as well as bags to put bundles of papers in.......

Positions open: Reporters, Researchers, Photographers, Public Relations (Bumps the forum threads and distributes in game papers.... maybe? I need to think of a better term......), Columnists, and Proofreaders.

Apply here!

(Also, there would be a way to get your creative work published in the paper shoon, but I need more staff first......)

  • I guess I'll have to attend to my mail when I have access to a proper com… iPod is great and allbut copy doesn't work on it for some reason.
    Posted 16 months ago by KitkatCat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Can you send me an invite too? Have you thought about the format of the paper? How will you publish it, on a website? As notes? (no pictures in that case)
    Posted 16 months ago by FrankenPaula Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I guess I can link the pics. I'll put it in the group. Like an ezine. People can read it and discuss… people in it can play with it.

  • Actually does anyone have an article about prisen- something or other? That would be interesting…
    Posted 16 months ago by KitkatCat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • A while back I came across a few notes with newspaper articles in a subway station. There was a fashion piece (the ladies are looking good but the men need to step it up!), one about housing prices or shortages, and maybe a gossip piece? It was totally awesome and I absolutely would have subscribed for home delivery! I want to say that the author was Moonspoon... maybe track him/her down for collaboration?

  • Can I get an invite please?

    Also I was curious about whether this Newspaper would be Glitchy as in "from a Glitch perspective" or generally about anything Glitch related, so opinions on new features etc.

  • So to use your services do I join the group?

    If so, please send an invite - thanks.
    Posted 16 months ago by MeherMan Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm pretty sure you don't need invites to join. the group is listed at the top of the new groups column.

    As far as joining the group to see it... I'm a little iffy on that, but I would say no. KKC is gone right now (I believe), but when she gets on later I'm sure she'll clarify.
    Posted 16 months ago by bored no more Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Invite please. I can proof.
    Posted 16 months ago by anacronismo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • It's invite only when I look
    Posted 16 months ago by Angel Slocombe Subscriber! | Permalink
  • oh really? hmm. ok until KKC fixes that, I'll friend who wants in and send out invites.

  • So is there a position in this company for "printing press" ya know someone who takes the current papers and copies them onto more papers and delivers them to certain area's like puts them by the entrance to the nieghborhoods? at least until the Dev's create something of a similar sort (like a printing press write a note, put it in the machine and put as many peices of paper in the machine as you want to be copied)

  • Can I get an invite?  I would LOOOVVVVEEE to help out with this!
    Posted 16 months ago by Laurali Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I am really in need of a position at The Ur Daily. Something to fool people into accepting a mild-mannered persona and overlooking my true super-hero self. Going for a pair of glasses, hopefully invite will be here when I get back.

  • Great idea.

    (Snarky aside: Daily? Every four hours?!?!)

    I would love to write a tour guide column, each one focusing on a region (or, in some cases, collection of regions.

  • may i please get a invite to be either a proofreader or a reporter? idk which one i should do...
    Posted 16 months ago by GiaTori Subscriber! | Permalink
  • This is my IRL job, so I would love to get in on this. Invite me?
    Posted 16 months ago by Helcat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I definitely want to do player profiles.
    But a serious question: how "real" do you want the paper to be? I mean, will you cover the Great Forum Dramas?
    Posted 16 months ago by Helcat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • +1 printing press

    a pair of new shoes with matching laces?
    a permanent box that cheats at races?
    a box of cigars that cost a quarter?
    an editors desk for the star reporter?
    Posted 16 months ago by goodstory Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I can take pictures for you, if you like!  Invite me please.

    A tour guide column is great!  I know the basic areas, but don't know what i'm missing out on in others.

  • I've decided to let KKC go through this and decide who to add. this is her project and I don't feel like I had the right to step in and start inviting everyone who asked to be invited, even though she said she thought it was open to the public. I hope this makes sense. I also hope people don't think I'm snubbing them.
    Posted 16 months ago by bored no more Subscriber! | Permalink
  • KKC - you have a GREAT idea here!!!!  I would be happy to help out.
    An Invite would be great as well.

    Edited to add:   Don't need an invite!  Just joined.

  • Urgh. I hate you Google docs. My perfect little document was infinitely messed up after I uploaded it. So I guess I'll have to distribute copies through e-mail.
    Posted 16 months ago by KitkatCat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @ Bored: Go ahead and invite! I can kick out anyone who starts causing trouble in there. REMEMBER: All submissions have to be civil and inoffensive.
    Posted 16 months ago by KitkatCat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • KitkatCat, can you convert your document into PDF and upload to Google docs?
    Posted 16 months ago by Milolin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thanks Miolin. I tried that and it sure looks a lot better. But I still think my word docs look the best. Think I'll leave it there while I work with it.....

  • Now looking for past Rook Attack screenshots :)
    Posted 16 months ago by KitkatCat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Or prisencolinaus-something screenshots, when GOD tells you how to get rid of it.
    Posted 16 months ago by KitkatCat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Also, anyone here works on API? I think I'd like an Apps R Us column.
    Posted 16 months ago by KitkatCat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Looks awesome, and I wish you guys all the luck in the world! I will totally put down the currents for a subscription if/when that becomes a thing.

    (May I sugest that you link back to this forum topic in your group description for ease of communications? To keep your recruitment streamlined, of course.)

  • Good idea Caesura. I'll do that.
    Posted 16 months ago by KitkatCat Subscriber! | Permalink
