The Station News (SN) is a news outlet that gathers serious news items from the far reaches of the VO universe and publishes them electronically for retrieval using the PDA.

If you have items that are newsworthy, please post them here. They will be checked for content and, if approved, they will be posted in the Station News. .

A few examples of news worthy items:
-Announcement of live RP events.
-Results of live RP events.
-Major guild transactions.
-Recruitment drives.
-Player guild announcements.
***This is an incomplete list. The guide is the final arbiter of what is appropriate

A few examples of items that won't be posted:
-Personal ads.
-Overly personal attacks (mild faction/guild bias is permitted in RP posts).
-Satire / humor.
-Items which clearly conflict with the back-story.
-Items which may result in confusion (i.e. stories of ships or add-ons that do not exist).
-Overly inflammatory items.
***This is an incomplete list. The guide is the final arbiter of what is inappropriate.

Submission guidelines:
-Maximum 30 lines (excludes publishing instructions).
-Images cannot be displayed.
-The starting times for events should use Greenwich Mean Time to avoid time zone confusion. Use /time in game to see the current GMT.

Please include the following information:
-Subject.
-Organization responsible for the post:
-Which Factions should see the post: we can set it so you have to be liked by a faction to see the post (Serco, Itani, UIT)
-Relevant dates/times.
-Text.

The guides reserve the right to edit the posts before adding them to the station news.

The guides reserve the right to request that, in the case of semi-editorial content, the actual individual being "quoted" or described post their appoval within this thread.

Posts that are submitted without the proper information will experience processing delays.

Please use vendetta_news (at) yahoo (dot) com for sending newsposts if you want them to be a surprise.
If you have sent a post to the e-mail address please either post here or let a guide know in game to go and check the account. Sometimes we get busy and don't check it every day.

Housekeeping: We'll be locking and unpinning the old thread periodically and starting a fresh, shiny new thread. This way these guidelines won't be buried so deeply, and we'll have a searchable record of items submitted for publishing.

Pirate Bounties----Subject Header

Actual Body for News post:

As Deputy Director of the TGFT GSS (Guild Security Service) I personally offer the following bounties:

Bounty 1: 5 million credits on tumblemonster since he is the most nototious, nasty, and ugliest pirate.

Bounty 2: 1 million credits on eclipsed since he is the newest member of CLM, to show him the error of his ways.

Said boutnies can only be collected in the following manner:

After the completion of Nation Wars on September 13th, an event will be held to claim these bounties in Sedina B-8.
Said Pirates must be killed 5 times out of 10 fights in a fair one on one fight in my presence to claim the bounty.
If noone kills said pirates 5 times out of 10 fights in a fair one on one fight, said pirates claim the bounty.
Fighting period is to be for 45 minutes maximum. Bounty will be paid to the first person to kill said pirates.
If no one challenges said pirates, no bounty will be paid.
Pirates may not kill pirates to claim this bounty.

Following these battles, a call is being put out to all upright citizens of VO to keep possesion of Sedina B-8
from all Pirate Guilds and independent pirates. A 3 million credit award will be given to the player with most
kills after one hour of fighting, after showing proof of kills on this thread (Pirate or Citizen).

It seems that you do not have buy-in from some essential participants. If you want to just post the bounties, that would work.

Subject: Kharon's Shores accepting applications for cargo haulers.

Organizagion responsible for news post: Kharon's Shores Guild [CHRN]

ATTN: Trader Types

Kharon's Shores will be accepting applications for reputable cargo haulers through Grey space.

Traders will have the opportunity to trade in greyspace unmolested by members of CHRN should they meet the requirements.

We require traders to procure items from various stations in nation space, or to manufacture goods that we are too busy to manufacture ourselves.
You will be paid, granted CHRN immunity, and complete anonymity. We will not share our list of employees with the public, your guild, or anyone else.

Applicants should go to kharonsshores.com and register.
It is recommended that you chose an inconspicuous username, and not your VO character name on our site.
Private message myself or any council member of CHRN for access to more information.

Trade in Grey space today!

If you can make it into a good in-character news item, I'll post it. Currently it involves too many out of game elements to be considered for the News.

So forget about it, ye can clean the thread : )

I would like to post the following for the news:

Xiuhcoatl Industries is now hiring reputable cargo haulers. We are always in need of a Behemoth XC load of something or other as our Industry expands. Prices vary, but we pay up to one million credits per full load and reimburse losses in cases where piracy results in loss of income or property.

Please contact our President and CEO Xiuhcoatl for updates as to what cargo and to where it needs to be delivered.

Thank you!

Xiuhcoatl Industries, L.L.C.

*Note: For dangerous routes where piracy may occur, it is our policy to advise our cargo haulers to pay pirates and then seek reimbursement from our company. This does not however guarantee your safety as pirates are an unpredictable sort. This does however increase the likelihood of a successful delivery and of your survival.

That'll work. Published.

Thanks Whistler!! Can you add the note? (sorry I edited it just as you were publishing)

I don't think a news item about hiring is the place for that, so it seems odd for role play. Seems like something you'd say after hiring. Plus, it's an awkward paragraph.

Perhaps instead something like: "...and reimburse for payments to pirates, or loss of property due to piracy." ?
