I espicially liked the comics and the interviews! It's very well written, keep it up guys!

TIPS:
  • Include some more pictures (in game)
I'd like to be interviewd by the way (hint hint)
Richman99
Well maybe I could interview you but we have a tendency of interviewing people that are like staff members or people that have alot of posts and almost everybody knows so I might interview you but the chances are very slim.
Devilguy X
Don't worry, I'll soon be more well known in the forum. Lots of people know me already for things such as the NPC database.
Prashanna
It isn't true that we only interview staff members and people with lots of posts. For example, our first interview was with "barr n00b" (http://runescape.salmoneus.net/forums/index.php?showuser=4608) and he isn't a staff member, and I don't think he had many posts when he was interviewed. We're even trying to lower the amount of interviews with staff members and vary our interviewees a bit more.

We interview people if we have an interesting topic to interview the person about. smile.gif

To Prashanna: Any chance of interviewing me? tongue.gif

I wanna join the paper badly, when's the next edition coming out?
Prashanna
If we have something interesting to talk about. tongue.gif

The next edition will come out very soon, maybe tommorow. tongue.gif
Devilguy X
Tomorow? Awesome! I'm going to try out for being a staff!

OFF-TOPIC: How did you get your -1 warning level? tongue.gif
Adam?
Glad you like the comics, since I am a comic artist on the Paper. smile.gif

Yeah, Prash is currently building the paper, so it should be out soon.
Devilguy X
Awesome. Did you submit any comics this time? I really enjoy reading them, they're really funny tongue.gif
Richman99
Yeah 1 or 2 I think. By the way, the Newspaper will release very very very very soon...
Adam?
Richman, Shhhhh. aware.gif
Yeah, I'll have two comics released for this paper. They are ok, I think.
Devilguy X
Awesome! Does very very soon mean today or tomorow? aware.gif
Richman99
The comics are definetly funny.... and I'll just shut my mouth now. I'm done giving hints of the release of the paper dry.gif

Awww, I liked your comic in the other two newspapers, they were real funny tongue.gif
lord pixma
i agree, i think the newspaper was a brilliant idea, and hope to see more great things in the newspaper next time, p.s meen, do more comics you last one's were hilarios!!

Actually the interviews need to be a bit more serious IMO. But Prash said next issue they would probably have more controversial issues, how about also adding more interviews, two isn't really that great.

Also, with the recent complaints about the interviews, maybe there should be a little more thought put into the questions? I mean rather than have just one person do the interview, he could run it by a few other newspaper staff members or you could have two interviewers work together for one interview instead. Just a thought.
Richman99
Yeah alot of our people were inactive and no one gave in interviews so only mine 2 had to be accepted...and yes we won't have more humor interviews.... just controversial and serious ones now... the funny ones are out of style I guess
Prashanna
Richman, interviews can still have humour in them, I'm just saying that we will no longer have these random crazy interviews, the type of interviews that will work best would be like the one Co-Z did interviewing Dani in Issue 2. Debate interviews will also be interesting which we can have for Issue 4. smile.gif
Richman99
Yeah that's what I meant: No more interviews with huge loads of humor in them. Debate interviews sound good... but I most likely can't do debate interviews...

Richman you don't need to agree with everything that everyone says. slanty.gif Say it once and we'll understand it. Saying it five times doesn't do anything (this is general, not just here - I know you only said it twice here). Also, remember, there's a lot of other staff members (and we should be getting more staff soon).


As for interviews, Prash is the section head so he should see that in the future the interviews are a bit more serious. smile.gif

I think maybe 3 interviews is a good number (maybe 4). Of those, only one should be a really well known person (like a mod or something). Some people might find those interviews interesting, but I think a lot of normal forum members would enjoy learning about each other. smile.gif

I thought it has been brought up more than once before(on the newspaper boards) that interviews shouldn't be restricted to staff and "famous" people? sleep.gif

Seems to me you are doing your utmost to belong to the same category as Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie and the like: Asking for attention and close to doing all possible to get it. Seems to me the paper staff is more than capable of deciding who to interview and, above all, whom not. Since it isn't up to me and I am just an innocent by-stander my reaction would be this: Interview all but Scary Monkey.

In the Dutch language we have a saying: Mensen die vragen worden overgeslagen. Translated that would be something like: Those who ask get passed over.
