[quote="Patroklus Murakami":351ct1t0][quote="Tad Peckham":351ct1t0]i do think it only fair and appropriate that 'the democrat' receive first dibs on covering events.[/quote:351ct1t0]

Much as I like 'The Democrat' I disagree with giving any independent newspaper 'first dibs' on anything :)

There's no reason why a CDS community freesheet can't live alongside 'The Democrat' or any other newspaper but I can't agree that 'The Democrat' deserves any special favours because its editor is a CDS citizen.[/quote:351ct1t0]

To be clear, I don't EXPECT special consideration, but I do thank people like Tad for giving us special consideration. And BTW, if we DID deserve special consideration it would be more for promoting democracy in SL and covering Nstadt as a major focus (it's been in pretty much every edition so far) rather than because of my citizenship status. :)

Pat, if you want to create a rival paper or work on a more detailed fact sheet, you're welcome to. I think we're just trying to practically figure out how we can do the most work with the least energy in the end.

Another possibility

I love The Democrat as well. Another thing we could try is to put a RSS/Web feed of the forums on a prim near the flags by the Rauthaus. It is the official forum after all.

Cunning! And put teleporters or landmark dispensers in Neufreistadt for Colonia Nova, Colonia Nova for Neufreistadt, and the infohub for both. And get the new flags in the church and Rathaus. And make pigs fly. Especially the last one.

That one's been done, I'll show you my Starax wand sometime. ;)

Teleporters we can't yet do, but landmark dispensers are sound; I don't have one set up at the Infohub currently (no scripts allowed) but I do have a box set for L$0 sale that contains a basic "what are we" notecard; adding landmarks is a "well, DUH" idea that never happened to occur to me. I'll see what I can do for flags, although I've always been hesitant to mess with the church, Gwyn might get mad at me. :D
