Marko Djurdjevic, terror specialist? :grinbig:
Try editing out your sig. It will make Synner's life easier. Also: Minor editing to the Aztlan article. This post has been edited by JongWK: Nov 6 2003, 03:57 PM |

Synner, could you please summarize what you want for February's edition? Hawke's editorial mentions several issues, but I'd like to have a complete list of topics.

Hawke's editorials are very general guidelines and mostly I only mention the stuff I know I will be putting in. This time I mentioned Kanada's Protectorate reporter because I think it was an interesting post in the last issue and there's a lot of public interest in general about that particular situation.
What I can do is mention a few key timeline events for February 2063 that might be relevant: - The Eurogovernments and eurocorps announce the NEEC will be inaugurated earlier than originally anticipated (in DotSW) and will now be launched in April (SSG). - There are minor clashes on the Salish/Tsimshian border but the situation will calm before April (possibly due to Sovereign Tribal Council intervention). - Minor clashes also between Pueblo and Aztlan in southern California over the latter's incursions Mojave, rumors of PCC backroom deals with CAS ensue. - A number of missing person's cases reported in Las Vegas. - Renraku Arcology is finally cleared (minus about 10 floors) in February and March. Discussions begin over fate of the Arc between Seattle metroplex and Renraku (SSG). - Tir Tairngire begins massive tourism campaign to boost economy (SSG). - First clash between New Zealand preservationists and Japanese Pacific fishing fleet. (SSG) - Rumors of failed hostile takeover attempt of Frankfurt Bank Association by Proteus AG (SSG, Shockwaves). - Frankfurt shadowland node crashed by unknown parties (Shockwaves) - Leonard Aurelius and Damien Knight meet face to face for the first time in four years during the Grand Ball in Paris marking the end of the Grand Tour's 2063 Winter Season. Lofwyr appears at same ball with Ladmilla Reanka on his arm. (DotSW, SSG) (more as I dig them up) |

Can we get one of these summaries in the back of every book?

For the record, Static ke'Raeint can never talk about terrorists inside Tir. He lives there and would like to continue living.

That's a thought... But seriously maybe its something that can be done on the website as the books come out and the timeline progresses. I'll bring it up with Rob. Anyway if there's enough interest I'll continue to provide one for this thread. |

I think that could work well (either web page or here).
Then we could have an "In Brief" section like the local paper. Just wrap up everything not covered for February by authors in segments of three sentance paragraphs. |

For those that are following, that last post was a loose tie-in to DotSW and SoE. ;)
I'll be posting more stuff tomorrow. |

Horray for forgetting the year! AND Horray for EDIT!
Well, SotA doesn't say when the albums were released, so I made it December 2062 :P Synner, is the WMI "rules set" slotted for SotA:64? |

That's still very much on the drawing board. The WMI originally came up in T:M IIRC, and both Jon Szeto and I took a liking to different aspects of it which carried over into DotSW. The background of the whole thing, Erika Telecom and how it came about should be in SoE. The current timeline calls for the system to be wide scale beta-tested in '64 so I doubt the tech will reach the streets by SOTA2064 (which if true to form should be dated Nov/Dec 2063) and when/if it comes online it will be first as a structural network upgrade rather than a user-end upgrade. What exactly it does beyond "contained direct Matrix linkage"or how it does it is subject to immense speculation - and all interested parties please report to the Scand Union for runs.
However, I do have plans for it and certain spin-off tech will be making the rounds if I have anything to do with it. As of DotSW (February 2063) Celedyr has snatched up partnership in the WMI from Lofwyr and takes round one. |

Just noticed. Jezzuz, you guys are on a roll. I spend a day away from the computer and you turn in 4 articles? Should do it more often.

Synner: Are you eventually going to release a .pdf version of the last issue? |

I'm working towards getting a copy of the Adobe Acrobat package which includes the plugin. I can't guarantee when I'll have it though.

When is the deadline for this current issue? I am continuing to add fluff and want to know when I should stop...
Also, by the lack of respone I assume that I have been consistant with my names, dates, etc.? |

I'll wait until we've got more or less 25 posts before closing this edition of the NSI. I've got a couple of pieces to upload - a market update and a media piece - but I'd also like to see at least one Sports news item and a Night on the Town nightspot/restaurant review if at all possible.

Sorry for the absence but my PC has been acting up. Posted the first of three reports. Still looking for a Sports and Night on the Town items though.

Basically the ideal would be a nice location profile done up like a critic's review, see the one in last month's issue.
Regarding Sports I can probably come up with something but if anyone knows Baseball I need some results for the Seattle team since I have no idea how the scoring works. |

I'm familiar with baseball, but when is this issue supposed to be in print? If this is the February issue, Baseball may be in down time before spring training...
If that doesn't matter, I can look into doing a baseball game write up for ya... SR13 |

I had no idea that Baseball had a winter break. That'll cover the needed explanation for the scoreboard at the end of the NSI. Are there similar breaks for the NBA and NFA?

Hockey and Basketball run from fall to early summer (Oct - Jun). Baseball goes from spring till late fall (Apr - Oct). Football is in the fall and early winter (Sept - Jan).
