What will become of the Newsletter?

Well teh cool thing is there is actually a media player on here but it won't recognise the videos in any format on my PC. I've even tried converting them to .avi, .mpeg, etc...

I think I'll wait to see if L-Dubz has any suggestions on how to do it.

I can save you time with that one, with a quick response of "buggered if I know."

I've only bothered to use it as a simple word processor and .pdf builder - I never put anything but words and pictures in. Sorry chief!

No probs, At the end of the day it's looking a bit better anyway. Damn shame about those vids though.

Well they did (for me at least) make it feel a bit 'pro' but they're just fluff at the end of the day. And the newsletter is pyhsically shorter without them, so there's a silver lining .

Newsletter needs to be a LOT smaller. Quite frankly at the size it is I wouldn't read it if it wasn't my guild. I suggest removing all TOR updates apart from the Leaked Intel section. Most people are already fully aware of whats happening in TOR anyway. Remember this is showcasing our guild in TOR, not TOR itself.

That's a far cry from when you said it wanted to be big. But I have to confess, I thought that this would be sent out via the forum, not e-mail! Had I know that I'd of taken the correct measures to make it such. I also know that I'm not a real editor, more like a manager, since the officers are more like the editors since they give the green light for some subjects and also add bits in (like the intro and interview), but any degradation in the newsletter's quality is still my fault and I'm sorry on the trouble it has caused.

Not to worry mate I've fixed loads of it now.

As for having it big, yeah I do want it big but preferably without own content and not TOR info. Thats my fault for not being clear though.

Right what i need now is a list of everyone that contributed to this newsletter.

Me, Priory and Hare.

Doesn't my zillion hours of work preparing it and LW's interview count then? LOL!

I've just put a big thanks to all in the end.

That'd be me and PJK with an interview from LW so far as I know. And Harl of course! His Trando bits are a regular feature and he's Editor, or Manager or whatever, so that's pretty much a given! .

Unless there's been some sneaky slicer fiddling with the content we don't know about... (Does wrestling the newsletter into existance count as a contribution? )

Edit: Doh! You beat me to it! lol

Thank @%&#!!! It's all done!!!

Now how to send this thing out.....

For all of you that would like a sneak preview, please click here.

Awesome job - nice and easy to read and loads of info - and the links work too!

One slight problem though, that interview was too long

that was a great read and the interview was not too long LW

I agree, I really enjoyed the interview. Could've done with some entirely new questions compared to the last one though. Must remember that for next time.

Bravo!

Have to say I never saw this before but it did make me LOL!

What made you decide that the E.P.O.C.H agency was the guild for you?
Sureshot held my dog ransom.

Erm, I'm not sure if I should mention this... But we forgot to include the biggest piece of guild news since the last newsletter went out: We're now technically a Sith aligned guild. Shouldn't we include a news bit about our still being neutral RP-wise but now only accepting Sith aligned characters?

*scratches noggin*

I thought that was mentioned in the last slicer?
....I could of course be going mental and just made that up...

Well I checked over the copy saved in my inbox and couldn't see anything (apologies if I'm mistaken).

*Harewood goes off to check

No. The newsletter was sent out on 06/08/09 and the general meeting we had when the Sith direction was first discussed 26/08/09. So there we go.

So I am going mental? hmmm can't say I'm overly shocked.

Well hopefully it can be shoe-horned in by the Chief before it ships but if not at least their were major updates on both this site and SWTOR.com *shrug*

Right whos job was it to do forum updates and Top topic of the month!!!

ermmm......*runs to the hills*

It's ok I'll get on the case.

By the way L-Dubz what was that site you suggested for sending out the newsletter?

Well I was actually meaning a link to a download, such as your YouSendIt one... there is one I used for the Webcomic, called 4Shared.com.

It would actually save you sending it out - if you left a thread with the link announcing it was available and ready

...like you did with the "preview", in fact


Would also mean it was archived too, so people could get to back-issues whenever they need!
