This priceless artifact, a series of 6   5 and 1/2 inch floppy discs will be preserved until a machine can be found which will read the archaic code and allow it to be transferred to a present day machine.  This will then be copied and formatted to match today's technology so that museum visitors can experience this oft recalled on line experience. 

  The museum cautions, that things are never exactly as they are remembered, so the experience of visitors may fall short of expectations based upon the glowing reports and stories handed down by Dreamtime veterans.  The museum also warns that finding equipment that will read these discs may be be impossible.  None the less, the discs shall be preserved for the use of future generations and as a noted cultural icon.

As has become tradition here in SpinDizzy, a Halloween party is being planned.  This year, the Masquerade will be held on Monday, the 30th, beginning at 7 p.m. pst.  That's 10pm on the East Coast.  The frightening location of the party will be posted that day. The best costumes are going fast, so you better start creating yours soon. Hope to see you there, and not know who you are!

• Try and do some proofreading before submission. That means spell check! However, if you're  no good at that sort of stuff, just send it as-is and the editors will try their best.  
• No articles whose sole purpose is to flame someone. You can use SD BB for that ;)  
• All parties whose names were mentioned MUST confirm with the editors that they were really involved (or agree to be involved even if they weren't there). No confirmation, no publish. See submission instructions. An exception to this is when you mention their name ONCE, and in a manner that suggests simply that they were present. If you mention their name multiple times, give a quote, or document an action by them then it must be confirmed.  
• The editors' decisions are final. This is not a wiz-ran paper so do not complain to them. We can be reached by paging 'newspaper'.  
• Just about anything is published, so be creative! It can be IC views on RL topics, RPs that occurred around the MUCK, or most other things you can think of. You have creative license when it comes to documenting RPs, so feel free to expound on the action, etc. If you aren't sure if a story is acceptable, page 'newspaper' and find out! :)  
• The AUP applies so keep language, etc acceptable.

  Procedure for submitting an article: 

• The newspaper building is located at Role Play Central (rpc). When you enter the building you will see a bulletin board.  
• Go ahead and 'write' your story. If you decide you don't want to write one, hit .abort and forget about it. Otherwise page 'newspaper' alerting us that you wrote one when you finish pasting it in.  
• An alternative to this is to page #mail newspaper with your story OR email it to newspaper@spindizzy.org  
• It is highly recommended that you have everyone involved in the story page 'newspaper' confirming that they were involved and want it to be published. Otherwise, the appropriate editor will be paging them confirming, which only wastes time. No confirmation, no publish. See article guidelines for more information.  
• Once all that is done, we will edit it and tell you where you can look at it to make sure it wasn't mangled. You can then p #mail the editor involved saying that it is ok. Otherwise, suggest changes that should be made and why. If you trust the editors feel free to put something to the effect that you pre-approve the editing.  
• Thats it! It'll appear in the paper!
