Could provide several advantages.
Larger edition
More time for input from the public
Cartoon in each edition
Less time I need to be looking at everything
Also, some disadvantages
Possibly fewer IN-game stories. (do we really need a story on gettin 5 LPT for dyes?)
Not as up to date with the happenings of the forum
Some things may be outdated by printing time.
Not all polls will be in, as they will have expired.

Whatever is reasonnable for you (provided we get one from time to time).
When I do a newspaper, I write under the title : periodical tending to weekly.

I would actually prefer it once a week. It will make the publishing of a newspaper a more special event (they say that gold is precious because it's rare  ), and most people, myself included, prefer to read during the weekend.
Plus, you always seem so tied up with the newspaper that I think you should release some steam. I just hate to see you like this. 
UnOrthO, I know what it's like to be a perfectionist. I am a proud perfectionist myself, but over the years I have learnt not to be the slave of my own perfectionism. There's no reason you should be tied to the newspaper.
Once a week will be just fine. Really!

Uhmmm, once a week would be awesome. I can imagine how much time you have to put into each issue, and once a week would take pressure off you and allow you to do more in each issue; that's how it is with the State of the Nation, at least. And I think having it once a week would make it even more special and a bigger deal; if it's rarer people will look forward to and anticipate it more.

Once a week suffices. A cartoon would be awesome.
Ah yes, can I please unsubscribe the email notification? I'm browsing the forum anyway, so I see the gazette without being reminded.

Wouldn't mind once a week at all . Whatever's easier for you, UnOrthO. For me, once a week is almost better, as I'd be able to contribute more.

Unortho I think we all agree that there is no need to push yourself so hard on the gazette, twice a week would mean more work for you and possibly less interest from the rest of us. Once a week is great, keeps everyone happy.

Just to clarify, Whatever happens, I will only be doing one a week from here on, that is given.
However, I could attempt to re-institute the second editor to cover the WED editions again. I believe Donal has volunteered to resume that post should it be desired.

Even with this in mind, I think one super-weekly issue might be just as good as two a week. I wouldn't have any objections to remaining at two a week (of course ), but the more I think about it, the more potential I see for the Gazette being a weekly feature .

Afterthought: Oh yea, UnOrthO, my PM box is now totally empty, so if there's anything you wanted to drop me a line on last night it's free now.

once a week is good; it gives us a chance to reflect back more than one turnchat.

Once a week is fine. don't do anymore than you can reasonably afford to spend the time on. This is supposed to be fun after all!
