I'm planning to have the news up on August 1st.  This way the next news will cover August, and the next September etc.

Sorry for the delay everybody.  I've been putting it off  Roll Eyes


So monthly news from now on? Smiley



Well that's roughly how it's been for the last little while, every 4ish weeks.  Except it's been up in the middle of the month lately.  I think it's better at the end of each month, yes?

We'll see how long it lasts anyway.


Yeah, doing it monthy sounds good to me Smiley

I've finally come across to ask Alex about continental rankings. He replied with this;
Quote:
It's possible but would take take a while to do. I would need to add a mapping of every country to its corresponding content and then apply that mapping to all the pages. However, I don't think this would be a useful metric. The vast majority of players are either from the USA or from western Europe, so you'd only really be splitting the data is two groups, since very few players come from Asia, Australia and Africa. I don't think there is much value in this metric. It's additional complexity that only a small number of players would look at and appreciate, and most will ignore, since continental boundaries a little bit meaningless.

We are looking for someone who wants to write the news on the 1st of October. It will cover the month of September and it will take you a couple of hours.
Evan or I can explain you how to retrieve all the information you need to write it. We can also check your text afterwards and we will use one of our news accounts to upload it to the site.

Who wants to give it a try?  Smiley

I could give it a try, a few questions though.
1.  how long does it usually take?   Embarrassed
2. Can it be done on a tablet? (I do have a computer I just use the tablet more often)
3. If I do well, could I do it again if needed?

I would really like to write this news update. I just never really had the time until now, thanks for the opportunity. If for any consolation I am taking an AP Lit English class in my sophmore year of highschool, usually a college or near college course, so I have bit of experience and forte in writing

CCL? Are you serious? This combination is just terrible and much slower for water tracks, It's impossible to get a WR with this.

I have some questions too.
1. How long does it take?
2. How do you get the writing? Do I pm it to you?
3. If I enjoy it, can I be a staff member or time updater or something like that?
4. Is there a way to acces all news write ups ever?

@Matthew and Kyle

It takes me around 6-7 hours.  That time may vary with you guys though.

It is possible on mobile, but I'd recommend a desktop PC.

You guys absolutely can do it again if you want.

I write the news on google docs, then copy and paste.  You guys can PM or email it to me or Frederiek. (screwedupyoda@gmail.com)

And yes there is a way to acces all news write ups, but you'll need a news account to do that.

Wow, 6-7 hours? I'd love to do it, but I don't have the time.
Would anyone get mad if I'm a few days late?

If that isn't to much of a problem, then I would like to do it I guess, as long as the info to type is clear to read.

Thanks for your response, guys!  Smiley
This is more than we were hoping for.

So we thought Matthew, Kyle, Isaak and Orange: We think you are all capable of writing the news and we all trust you guys and want to give you the opportunity. And yes even Bradon too but we have doubts if you will stay active now that you don't play anymore.

Now what we suggest is this: You guys may all write it once. And if you do well, you will get another chance to do another news update later on. And if you still want to write the news regularly after that one, you will get your own news account.

Maybe Matthew can do the first one. It seems like you have the most time this weekend and you also reacted first.

Is everyone okay with this?
