The P2TM Times (A P2TM Newspaper) Discussion Thread

[Altito Asmoro]

Comics will be rather hard to do if relevant to P2TM Unless we want to do countryballs?

Swith does NSLballs. You might have some luck asking her. She does her own take on it, such as Max represented by a blank ball and Mods having their actual flag photoshopped as a running gag, and Mentors always have flawless grammar regardless of what country the player/ball represents.

I like it.

I have the chance to be stronk and relevance.

If the Halfodia Ball isn't an angry drunk with broken swedish english, Imma be pissed.

There sure are a hell of a lot of editors.

Star, shouldn't you list content makers as well? I understand that it might make more sense to wait until the first actual newspaper before listing them, but still, just a thought.

You know, "y'all" is not grammatically correct outside of informal speech in a few (American) dialects.

[Atlannia]

Hey good luck with this, it sounds cool. I doubt I can be bothered doing anything helpful or constructive but I'll totally read whatever comes out of this.

Yep. If you want to reserve a specific thing, post here or TG me. I'll be doing the worldbuilding section, along with the Editor-in-Chief's introduction/newsletter.

Eh, I myself don't feel the need to reserve anything, really. I doubt I can come up with something for the first newspaper, I'm a tad concerned with other things, what with my vacation coming to an end.

Who knows, I may or may not write something by the deadline. But no need to reserve anything either way.

^ This. Personally, I was thinking that if the advice column became a thing, I could do that; but at the same time, if someone else was more qualified to answer a question, I would want them to answer. There's nothing I feel the need to reserve for myself; and, as Gabby said, not everyone will always be able to write something for each issue.

For interviews, is there a particular set of questions that should be asked or will it be at the discretion of the interviewer?

Discretion of the interviewer.

Too many chiefs, not enough indians kind of thing. Only a large publication or staff would need, honestly, more than three editors. For our publications theres the E-I-C and then an editor per spread (two pages). This newspaper wouldn't be nearly large enough to need so many editors, just more regular staffers.

Ehh, I prefer multiple opinions. Not going to make senior/junior editors as that may irk some people. *shrug*

Why hello there, Twinky. Coolio idea.

It should be. English is fucking stupid in that it doesn't have a second-person plural.

I agree. I just don't use "y'all" because it's not part of my dialect.

This is true. Personally, I generally use "you guys".

How would a feature or section dedicated to characters be? Just some random ideas:
A beginnings guide to character building, daily or weekly tips, maybe a death battle style crossover thing where we get the two writers to rp out the scene, character creation challenges and ideas, "Meet a Charecter" Where the audience gets to vote on two characters from different rps to meet and interact, Character interviews where six random characters are picked and asked a series of questions and their writer responds accordingly, A writing challenge where we give a scenario and the audience has to write one of their characters reacting...

Those all sound quite good.

I could do an advice column on realism and worldbuilding.

Also, I think it would be nice to have a directory, listing the issues posted thus far, and a brief summary of their contents.

Also, "yall" is totally a legitimate word that the rest of the Anglosphere needs to adopt.

Yes, there will be a directory of the issues.

And sure, you may submit any articles that you like.

All of them!
Rebel would probably be willing to do the death battle thing, as he was the one who came up with the shortlived Battle Thread. The guide to character building sounds quite good though.

Cool. I could do the charecter building guide perhaps.
Though did you envision a single guide or multiple "updates" or editions. Like "How to make a charecter in a sci fi setting?' then next month "How to make a character with magic?"
