CNN General Issues Thread

Darkness' Edge · October 5, 2002, 08:09

Why another CNN thread, you ask?

At the moment, general discussions about the CNN are all over the place. So this thread is for any general issues, such as issues being late to air, or general questions.

If you have any comments on the CNN issue itself, please post in the appropriate thread, but if it's a general issue, post it here.

I just want to say i will be posting a diary and a column about something every week now!

Darkness' Edge · October 5, 2002, 08:42

Rock on.

We need all the contributions we can get - thanks DBTS, Tass, and MWIA for your help with submissions for this edition.

Hercules · October 5, 2002, 08:52

As I 've mention in reponse to CNN6 I'll contribute. where do you want the reports sent.

Darkness' Edge · October 5, 2002, 09:53

I'll be writing an issue every second week, alternating with Tass. So preferably, send it to whichever one of us is writing the CNN that week, though we can always forward it to one another.

Darkness' Edge · October 12, 2002, 19:23

I've been talking to Tass, and he just doesn't have the time to continue with the CNN, except for the occasional article.

So as of now, I'll be taking over as full editor for the forseeable future.

Please, send submissions for this week's CNN.

I'm supporting any Pro-Planned, Polizei, Thought Control plans that our faction has. Read my locale for more details.

Mr. President · October 13, 2002, 07:27

Gah! Planned economics!

Wha? You doubt Planned Economics?!

Darkness'-maybe the CNN should be 'Topped' like the other threads?

Which thread? This one, or the latest issue?

Frankychan · October 14, 2002, 00:05

Maybe all of 'em? Or perhaps when the latest issue comes out, that one could be 'topped' until the next issue (which would replace the old one)

Pandemoniak · October 14, 2002, 03:46

My idea was to gather all articles, and only articles, in a thread that would be topped.

Darkness' Edge · October 14, 2002, 04:24

Erm, what's wrong with the weekly edition?

DeathByTheSword · October 14, 2002, 06:23

i am for the newspaper idea! (each week one) and i dont want to sound ungratefull but i would be nice if we get it every week......this is not an attack i can help.....

GeneralTacticus · October 14, 2002, 06:59

I like the newspaper idea too. Maybe have a topped thread with links to all past CNN threads, plus top the current issue?

DeathByTheSword · October 14, 2002, 07:17

if i top yet some thing else we will have half a page topped. you can look for all old CNN in the directory from TKG

Darkness' Edge · October 14, 2002, 07:56

Thanks for the backing, DBTS and GT.

As of now, expect a CNN issue every week. I've always released my issues on the due date, and I'll continue to do so.

Of course, this depends on Pandemoniak backing down on his coup d'etat.

The CNN section is in the Planetary Archives (or, page 4

)

Darkness' Edge · October 30, 2002, 06:43

Unfortunately, there probably won't be a CNN this week. I'm too tired and not creative enough (all-night psychology study sessions tend to do that to you) to write something worthwhile, and I'm going away for a few days tommorrow morning.

If someone wants to write this week's edition, PM me within 12 hours or so and I'll send you the submissions.

If no one volunteers to write an edition in my absence, there'll be a monster edition next Thursday.

Lemmy · October 30, 2002, 07:03

I volunteer Kass to do it, it doens't seem like he has anything better to do anyway

And hopefully it will keep him out of trouble and away from the turnchats.

Method · November 7, 2002, 20:29

edge, i came here wondering why there wasnt a cnn last week, and i got my answer.

more importantly however, this thread isn't in the dir (i'm adding it) but are there any other cnn threads i'm missing?

Darkness' Edge · November 7, 2002, 21:46

This week's CNN is on the way (if late

).

Darkness' Edge · November 13, 2002, 03:54

The next three issues of the CNN might not be exactly on time...but I'll try to keep the delays to a couple of days at most. Submissions would be helpful. *hint hint*

The school year's winding up for me, and with exams and the like, I'm actually having to study. It doesn't affect my net surfing too much, but it does cut into the three or four hour chunks of free time it takes to write a CNN.

After Wednesday, December 4, I'll be out on summer holidays, and things should go right back to normal.

Drogue · November 13, 2002, 17:42

Oh to live in Australia... If only my summer was coming up!

and yeh, echo TKG's thoughts

GeneralTacticus · November 13, 2002, 18:05

December 4th!? Lucky bastard.

Archaic · November 16, 2002, 12:07

That's rather late. High School still DE? I was out November 7th from QUT.

Method · November 16, 2002, 12:20

ah, but if you're out for summer break in december, you silly southern-hermispherians, then you don't get extra vacations for christmas! ha ha ha!

(or do you?

)

Maniac · November 16, 2002, 12:30

Yeah I'm wondering: do Austrialians and New Zealanders have some winter vacation in somewhere in June-August?

Hercules · November 16, 2002, 13:03

Oh to be in education. Anyhow I'll try to contribute something this week, to the CNN
