Next Story
Angel_Bear has opened up a new Sky, over Mudville, located at N8 E8. The new sky will serve Mudville and Orion Island.  The Celestial Ursine, otherwise known as Angel_Bear, invites links to the new sky, but asks to be contacted first.  Due to a busy work schedule, the best time to catch him out and about is Thursday evening at around 11:00 PM Eastern.
Argon Website Theme Decided
Next Story
        Argon, local Centaur, and manager of the SpinDizzy website at http://www.spindizzy.org last week asked for input concerning the look and theme of the site.  Of those who responded, the majority indicated that Boki's proposal http://www.twu.net/~bryan/spin2/spincity.htm was most fitting.

     Boki's version incorporated good ideas and suggestions from those who had them to offer and it has been decided that his final version will be incorporated as spindizzy.org's 'look'.

     Argon wishes to thank all those who assisted in this endeavor, and states that as soon as possible, he will change the site to match the final look decided on.  He will, of course make a posting on the Bulletin Board when the work is done.

Kulan Morticon Pictured as a Lizard
Next Story
       Skipai, local otter, sent in this picture of Morticon in his lizard form last week.  Gratiot declined to comment, saying "I can neither confirm nor deny any incidents involving skittles and lizards."  This reporter also asked Morticon if he wanted to divulge any information about, and he replied that, "If you ask me any more questions about that incident I'll rip your intestines out a foot at a time!"  Needless to say, I didn't pressure him further.


Argon Slow News Week Due to Absent Editor
 
        Kulan, local Wallaby and editor of @action News, has announced taking a hiatus.  In his stead, Argon will once again be putting the paper together.  Contact him at argon@spindizzy.org with any juicy gossip, unfounded rumors or things you thought you heard.  Please send any complaints to Kulan.
@Action News Info Guidelines and Procedure for Submitting Articles
 
>> 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
 
 * 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. If you trust the editors feel free to put something to the effect that you pre-approve the editing in your rough draft.
 
 * That's it!  It'll appear in the paper!
 
>> Guidelines for writing articles:
 
When writing articles for the paper...
 
 * 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 the SpinDizzy BB for
that ;)
 
 * Please strive for accuracy.  If they have time, the editors may check up on some of the quotes and perhaps the basic facts of the article.  Otherwise, it is assumed you did your best to write an accurate article.  If this is abused and inaccurate things are complained about, stricter rules may be put in place.
 
* Submitting your article anytime on Friday evening through the normal publishing date (Saturday night) will usually waive your right to review the edited version because of time constraints.  You will be contacted and informed but if you cannot get on before the publishing deadline to check your article it will be published regardless UNLESS you specify otherwise.
 
 * 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 and content acceptable.
