hi mods, i had an idea that i wanted to run by you guys!!
so where joker came from he was a combat correspondent, which basically means he wrote articles for military newspapers and magazines about military activity in vietnam, and i was thinking about having him start up a similar thing in xistentia. it'd be sort of like a bulletin with pertinent info about the war, but also some CR builders like a lonely hearts column, advertising, and space for other players to have their characters write articles and such. obviously those things would depend on ic opting in, so if this is cool with you guys i was thinking about having joker advertise it on the network to see who'd be interested.
if so, it could work as a job too, with joker as the editor, and so i'd probably head over to the businesses page and set up an HQ for the publication too!
i think probably a monthly publication would make the most sense, because it's far less stressful than weekly, and it gives a longer opportunity for more things to Happen and also for people to write things they might want to add.
oocly, my suggestion for formatting would be that there'd be a post where people can volunteer stuff they might want to put in. things like lonely hearts and ads would be sent to one post (for example joker's ic inbox), and then on a set date every month i'd make a post on the main ic comm where all the contributions were accumulated in the main body of the post. i'd be happy to organise this, BUT since it's a community-wide thing that might have impact over the whole game i totally understand if that would be better suited to a mod.
at the same time, this is quite a bit to handle and the mods already have so much to do, so another suggestion i have would be that the bulletin would take the form of a simple post in the comm with the basic information in the main body, and then the comments would consist of a toplevel for different categories (e.g. small articles, lonely hearts, ads), and contributors would reply to those comments to keep it organised.
another thing which would be useful for both format suggestions would be to use a channel in the discord specifically for questions etc regarding the bulletin!
