Post items for the Station News tab here (April '08 - June '08)

Apr 01, 2008 Whistler link
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 unpining the old thread after 3 months 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.

You're very welcome. My response time is challenged recently as my job's router software is on to my ... extracurricular activites again. It decided that this website is a game. It will forget me in due time.

subj: Lady Serco summons sheffield to Sky Command
org: none
target: all
date: today

Shefa Feladonen (sheffield) travels to Sky Command today to hear of his fate within the military hierachy. So high is Admiral A-Dawg's stock amongst the powers that be that rumors suggest that sheff may be promoted, given a special mission, or a new command, despite having committed the faux-pas of authorising the Assault Regiment's effective but highly politically disastrous 'interference' of 'nation war' recently.

Meanwhile, contacts are trying to source the whereabouts of Lieutenant Nautargos, tactical leader of that operation, of whom sheffield says 'well, no, actually he is NOT demoted'. SCAR pilots are finding themselves flaunted in miltary bases but shunned in the streets.

Rumors abound regarding the rise to prominence of a new unit, resulting from sightings in Deneb and Ukari. Little is known of the intent or disposition of this force, but that is hardly surprising given how many units the Serco military has. The recent exodus from SCAR, SDF, and VPR by several influential Serco pilots may be related, but this has not yet been confirmed.

Rassalhague Free Republic is born.
On the fringes of what most would consider 'society' a new band of galactic citizens have banded together to forge a new way of life. Tired of the constant burdens that the ancient houses have attempted to force on them this band is cutting a swath through the miles of red tape to gain a new satisfaction in the universe. They welcome all and deny few in their quest to explore the cosmos and all that it has to offer.

They welcome all and deny few

So they, in fact, welcome some fraction less than all?

Ya, I made some significant changes to that before publishing:

"Rassalhague Free Republic is born.
On the fringes of 'society', like-minded galactic citizens have banded together to forge a new way of life. Tired of the constant burdens that the ancient houses have attempted to force on them, this band is cutting a swath through the miles of red tape in order to gain new satisfaction in the universe. They welcome all in their quest to explore the cosmos and all that it has to offer."

Your post reminds me that it is time to begin a new thread.
