Certainly

On another matter, what format should we produce this paper in? Magazine style, newspaper style, a regular post, or all three?

Edit: Scrap that question. I just read the latest edition of The Northern Light.

We shall proceed with a magazine format and we will utterly decimate have a friendly competition with TNL.

RE: [DISCUSSION] Regional Paper - Nakari - 03-06-2019

Idea: The Ultimate South Pacifican

Description: Using letter distribution to find the average of the names of people holding certain positions - for example, the average MoMA is called "IRoastDen", and the average GCR delegate right now is "The Outface Swineherd of Earthlions". Quite silly. Would totally understand if too silly. Tounge

RE: [DISCUSSION] Regional Paper - The Sakhalinsk Empire - 03-07-2019

May I ask to quickly clarify, what exactly are Local Council proceedings? Because if I have the time to do so, I might be able to do the Local Council proceedings, though admittedly I'm not that experienced in journalism Cheese

Ah, thank you for reminding me. I have amended the list to also include the LC elections.

To clarify, LC proceedings are basically anything which has gone on in the RMB. Given that the magazine is produced on a monthly basis, the article could not possibly cover every single event so a general overview is perfectly fine. You could also, as author, select the key events which you know well and include that in your article. Happywide

I might be able to do that... I'll make a draft first, and when I think it's okay, I'll reply again stating my application here.

EDIT: I'm more comfortable with an editorial about it. Maybe someone else can write the main article about the LC proceedings, while I can make an opinion article about it. It's okay if not.
