i saw this by pressing back about a million times
Jedi Academy Official Newsletter -Silent Whisper- Jul 24 09:44pm -0 comments- That's right kids I'm putting together a newsletter for the whole academy. It will be released(hopefully) every two weeks. It will contain news on tournaments, mods, maps, models, etc. Basically anything to do with Jedi Knight 2. But to collect all this info I need to hire some "news reporters." Bascially the task will be to collect news from various sites, clans, zone, etc. Bascially anything goes, just don't be a pest  If you're interested please Email me with your name, why you would make a good reporter, and any good links or sources you know. I hope to release the first NL by August 1 so send those apps quickly!!!
What happend to it if its gone we should start it again but this time widen it to a lot more we coud do it by simple system Have a sub-editor for each subject the jedi academy,sports etc then they decide wot goes in or stays out and then it all goes to the head honcho the Editor who decides if he has any disagreements bout wot goes in All the editors would of course have the power to shorten the articles by taking out irrelevant stuff(ie thats cus thier editors) I would hope to see regulars of course(some ideas Quote of the month) and this is summit i was thinking by adding ads to the newsletters we could get some money for the JA. Of course scince i dont know if it still exists in witch case i would have been making an ass of myself for this hole post aww well _______________ The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do.

Heh...I've been asked to be on board for the newsletters. I know how to cut a 20-page analysis into a one page brief (that's pretty much going to be my job when I get done in college).
So, I will be able to write something short, jam packed with stuff, or maybe something the same length, a bit flowery if needed. I have published articles out there, also, so I know how to keep my stuff in the proper length range. But you guys will love whatever I type out, as I'll take even more care writing them than I usually take writing anything here. _______________ Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. |

imback and my trip to dublin gave me an idea how about the mail thingie
scince we all live in different countries we could do a guide on our country you know for if people wanted to travell there they would get advice from people who live there. Oh and if you have no ideas you can be a reporter ie we decide for a story for you to cover or one from the news to go into more detail about. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE Soon or ill have to give up because i dont want 2 or 3 people doing the whole thing EDIT:anyone a email program that cood let me make academy style emails _______________ The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do.

I'M THE ONE w00000t, I'm going to write the knight section of the newsletter. However this isn't going to fill the newsletter. WE NEED WRITERS. if you have an interest, please contact him. My suggestion is either stay on as a permentn writer, come up with a topic idea, or do a guest writing. I say that the newsletter be divided into the normal ppl that will write for every edtion, and the guest writers. If we get some serious writers i suggest doing what my school newspaper does, and that is have kind of a topic, such as *skinname* skin...Good or bad? then find someone that dislikes the skin and someone that likes it, and they write there side, and gets posted. I also suggest simply asking people to guest write on whatever they want.
just some ideas P.S. if you want to be a permant writer heres some ideas 1)we need a trainer section, with whats going on in the trainer world this week/month. and what they suggest to pick up 2) a comedy section, nothings complete with out some funny stories 3) a student section. This could be 1 permant writer, or various students that write on student related material each month. 4)a JAC section. This could be whatever story the council as to write, this section could also give out doobie awards for no apparent reason thats all i can think of, but please join _______________ Dicemaster This comment was edited by Dicemaster on Feb 15 2003 11:57am. |

ok i made an email address( jediacademynewsletter@yahoo.co.uk ) im probably gonna work by the system above ill be the editor but basically that means i paste the stories together not much editting,for the mean time just untill we see how many people are intrested then if thier enough well split it up into sub editors(no point in having sub editors for a tiny amount of stories)
email at that address or drop by with a comment in my profile,If your intrested in becoming a regular or want to add a once off sorie. Remember i want this not to be just about the academy but everything that intrests people in the academy from combos to who won in a hockey match. Oh and when everything gets sorted email to that address to get added to the monthly(mabey fornightly) mailing list. _______________ The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do.
