Hello again 
The Vast Empire News Agency has made some very good progress this week. For a start, a name change: 'Vast Empire Today' newspaper.
I plan to let one person manage each section of the newspaper, with each person being a Section Editor, and each Section Editor being able to have reporters to work under him/her. I have ten sections as of now. They are: Front Page; Home News; Galactic News; Sport; Business; Fashion; Entertainment; Agony Aunt/Horoscopes; Letters to the Editor; Tabloid.
I have plenty of volunteers for section editors, although I could do with a couple more volunteers, if you've missed this over the last week. Feel free to email me at [email protected] telling me who you are and what section you'd like to edit.
I have quite a good estimation of what everyone should be doing right now, and all of you who have contacted me will get to be an editor. Kadann has also offered 25,000 credits to each person who deserves it, which I will decide 
That means that Section Editors will get at least 25k a month, plus a little bit more out of my own pocket if I'm really impressed.
I also desperately need a Deputy Editor! Since there are 10 sections, and I plan to publish the newspaper every fortnight (2 weeks), each section will have to be spellchecked, formatted and coded by hand. I'll only have about 48 hours to do all that in, because of deadlines, so I need someone else. You must know basic HTML, have good english language skills, be quite intelligent and must be able to work fast. Email me at [email protected] to apply for that. I'll also give you a heck of a lot of money :P
Just some quick basic info now: The newspaper will be published online every 2 weeks, on a Sunday. I will expect the sections in 3 days (72 hours) before the deadline, so all the work can be done. That means Section Editors have just 10 days to get their stuff written! If anyone wants to bow out now they know that, tell me ASAP.. and I may need some new editors 
Oh, and I need some input for Agony Aunt and Letters to the Editor. If you have any agony, amusing, serious or just made up, send it to [email protected] . You can include your name, or just keep it anonymous.. and make it quite good  If you have any critisicm of any of the VEHC (heaven forbid!), VENHC, VEAHC, Squad/ron Leaders, fellow members, etc etc etc.. email it to [email protected] . You can, again, leave it anonymous if you like. You can write whatever you want, no matter how obscene and offensive.. but I'll edit it down a bit :P I'll also provide an incredibly witty response on the paper, if you're lucky.. ----------------------- AAMB/LCM Bear/VEHC/VE

I've got some agony goin on right now, but it's so confusing, that I don't even understand it. So, i guess that i'll just have to make it up. Oh, and i GUESS that i could be the editor of the entertainment section, that is of course, if the position's not already filled.

Do I see an application in my email? No? 
Otto, Corran will almost certainly become Deputy Editor (but don't tell him! Its gotta be a surprise!  ), so you'll definetly be Entertainment Editor, if you want to.
Also, Corran has made a website for VE Today. It is at:

So am I just handling horoscopes for now, Bear? I talked to Riel and he said he'd be willing to do Agony Aunt (I could help him out there from time to time). Let me know here or through e-mail. ----------------------- NTO/SC/FL/CM Darkhawk/Raptor 3-1 (Raptor Nine)/ISD II Devastator/OFF/VEN/VE/(=A=)(=SA=)(=JCPA=)(=SCPA=)(=FOCE=)[BRC][VC:Ebony]

Sections and their probable editors..
Front - Me
Home News - Zed Zeon
Galactic News - Gravin
Sport - Bane
Business - arturus
Fashion - g5
Entertainment - Otto
Agony Aunt, Horoscopes & Anything else those illustrious laddies can come up with (combined) - DH / Riel (will be intresting to have 2 editors.. a page each?)
Letters to the Editor (new name for Free Voice) - Me
Tabloid - Argon 
The timescale:
The first deadline will be.. err.. 2 weeks after I tell everyone what their section should include. You can, of course, do something totally differant to what I say.. I like intelligence 
I'll probably send you the email.. today. So that would be 2 weeks today that I want it in for. Except I don't.. I want it in 10 days, so it can all be put together 
Understand? You'll have 10 days to make your section. Thats it.. I'll take a bit of leeway, and won't get too mad if its in in 11 days.. or 12. But 13.. well, I hope your fast runners 
Imagine it is like this:
1st April : Start of Section Editors putting their section together
10th April : Give in section
14th April : Newspaper put online; Start of Section Editors putting their section together
24th April : Give in section
and so on..

I'll come up with a plan and get back to you, he said.
Is this the Galactic Year of Being Crappy To Fish or what? If so, I hope you work on dog years so it ends soon. ----------------------- Ramon Stonefish
