How about People's Open Radio Network? Or would that be the 18+ one?

(Acronym is...)

Yep that's right! Our Twenty-Fifth Edition is coming out soon and you've got a lot to look forward to!

A Staff Promotion

Yes – for the past month, I have been listening to your overwhelming praise of Gruenberg’s tough, hard-hitting commentary on The World Assembly and Gameplay. I’ve even vaguely heard your whines over comma splicing. Bearing this, before the Editor-in-Chief (moi) gets peppered with anymore of your relentless pining, Gruenberg will make his debut as The Rejected Times’s Copy Editor with our twenty-fifth edition.

This move will help ease the busy Editor-in-Chief’s workload and give Gruenberg the chance to make an even bigger impact on the quality of our articles. It’s a job for which, as I understand it, Gruenberg has a lot of experience. Congratulations Gruenberg!

Old Favourites

Look for contributions from our regular contributors (e.g., Joe Bobs, Church, Myself), as well as some of your favourite special contributors…

Starrie. Our expert technical boffin, whose empirical work has been praised for such fine articles as “Does "The Lemming Effect" Exist?” and “Are WA Liberation Nominees More Likely to Be Invaded?”.
Cormac Somerset. A jack of all trades, Cormac Somerset has been around the block and never pulls a punch. Cormac has got a cracker of an article ready, which will shine some light on a previously unrecognized phenomenon. Controversy, new insights and the great unknown awaits!
Warzone Codger. The busiest man in NationStates, apparently – this good-spirted curmudgeon is expected to appear for the first time since his last article which introduced the idea of poll-raiding. God knows what that fertile mind has in store for us next!
Afforess. Despite being deleted last week, NationStates’s most controversial capitalist will return to The Rejected Times to make a special announcement. Afforess will offer his personal insights and his perspective on events. He has previously discussed change, transparency of knowledge and the failings of NationStates’s infrastructure in his past articles.
Glen-Rhodes. This opinionated lad got his start in the World Assembly, chopping National Sovereigntists in half with some serious debate chops – his no-nonsense, sharp commentary has made him a staple in Gameplay and The Rejected Times.
Kogvuron. Yes, that’s right, the founder of The Rejected Times will, of course, be on deck to make an appearance in the next edition! Known for his thoughtful, warm and balanced commentary, we always miss Kogvuron when he’s not around.
Thafoo. Straight from the heart of NS General, Thafoo is one of our many treasured commentators. For months now, Thafoo has been helping to keep our readers informed about the goings of the Generalite world and our next edition will be no exception.

New Faces

Bears Armed. The man, the bear, the legend. Bears Armed has been a very memorable resident of the World Assembly and NS Sports for some time. With all of that honey he’s consumed over the years, he might just be the sweetest player in NationStates. He was commended for his contributions by SC#124.
Apox. The co-host of this summer’s NS World Cup will make his debut with The Rejected Times. Providing a passionate and unique look at an area of the game that rarely receives the attention that it deserves, this article is a must-read.
Capitalist Producers . One of Capitalist Paradise’s most outspoken executive members will speak with The Rejected Times on recent events. With his years of experience in the profession, you can bet this will be a cracker of an article.
A Mystery Guest. It wouldn’t be a special edition without a touch of mystery.

That should leave ‘em squabbling for a few hours…

I think you were very selective about the comments regarding Gruen's articles...

They kind of had to be; all my other articles got utterly slated. Should be back to normal next issue.

See if you can get Afforess to be forthcoming regarding the tool he has supplied to TBR. You know the secret one

So hard to not respond with a "tool" joke.

So hard...

Since radios being floated here, any objections to radioNS 3.0?

Since Unibot's back, we'll go back to the 70 people tuning in to listen to his talkshow then flame him in the IRC channel days.

I think anything that moves Gruen away from writing what is essentially nonsense about the WA is a win for everybody. Whooooo for promotions.

Yeah, gruen has been one of the consistently worst writers from what I've seen.

A very endearing attitude, Rachel. I'm sure your insightful criticism speaks volumes to Unibot.

Huh? I don't control TRT account; I assumed Unibot did.

What? Gruen's pieces address real and very serious issues in the World Assembly and I know I speak for others when I say that many regulars find his articles extremely insightful. It seems like the only people that have an issue with his articles are recipients of his criticism and a crowd of gameplayers that don't really participate in the World Assembly anyway. :roll:

Criticizing moderation = being a terrible writer.

I've yet to be subject to any serious criticism from him, and I think his posts are full of nonsense. And I know I speak for others when I say that many regulars find his articles extremely incorrect. Especially ones that claim natsov is dead(when we're in nothing short of a resurgence of the movement and have been for half a year or more), or that the GA forums are completely meaningless to the GA vote. I could go on, but I don't really need to. His work speaks for itself.

by **Glen-Rhodes** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 10:01 am

Wow, you guys certainly had a bad falling out.

Glen-Rhodes wrote:Wow, you guys certainly had a bad falling out.

What? No. I'm just being honest here. I don't want people to get the wrong idea from some of you that his work is universally loved by the GA community or something.
