Beware of those 'other realms'. Especially RL. I was an editor in RL in the 70's/80's/90's.
(this is not an application)
So late to reply... But curiously enough I was also RL editor of a small monthly magazine we ran on the Physics School of my University from 2002 to 2008. We called it "La QuantiTica" (Quantum + Tico being the usual reference to Costa Ricans in latin america).
It started as a single 8x17 sheet of paper folded in the middle, 4 pages of content, and the last one was similarly created with 16 pages. We ran articles on current research in the Uni's research centers, news from the School staff and the Students Association staff, "Envelope Physics" challenges, scientific humour and weird fringe-science histories.
I edited and compiled it all in PAINT at the start, as I had no other tools back then! I didn't even had a computer, did it all in Internet Cafes. I loved it...
I think I should have been journalist... -
Just for the record... During my tenure we USED a standard format for all regional dispatches, which was coproduced by Drachmaland and myself:
I actually used it for the official dispatches (and just recently re-used it):

https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=607754
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=536247I'm not saying you should use this one, but it has been done before, you can leverage that one or start one from scratch. But I agree with the idea of a common theme.

I just clicked on STAFF for fun, and I realized MALVIET is still a moderator and masked as MInister.
Is this correct at any rate?

Would you had accepted emperorship of NPO had it been offered to you?

I'm surprised this topic has lasted so many years...

I've mastered the snark in NS, but not in the forums...
So sorry that they were not snark material and were of "Jerky" quality.
You've not mastered snark here, there or anywhere. You just come up as crude, disrespectful, offensive and tooooo much of an ass.
-
Aye. Same here.

Now have 6 desktops and 2 laptops in the house that have bit the bullet and gone to 10. I am an insider and have seen 10 since it's preview days. Networking them all was initially an issue, but seems to be fine now. And I HATE icons and installed the menu replacement at http://www.classicshell.net/ that makes it at least look like 7.
Hah! I love that! Totally about to install on my recently updated laptop. Good shit there QD
QuoteThe update process thru the builds has been an adventure. It has blown a few things up here an there but easily repaired. Finding drivers for some of my "Legacy" equipment was more effort than it had to be. But overall, it works.
Mine blew my HDD to hell... other than that, no issues...
Windows 3.1 started it -> Not as bad, honestly
Windows 95 was a new kernal and buggy, -> Agreed
Windows 98 fixed it and very stable -> Mostly agreed
Windows ME was the worst operating system ever written -> Truest truth ever written
Windows XP fixed it and was very stable -> I loved it
Windows Vista was a new kernal, buggy and pissed alot of people off -> Second worst after ME imo.
Windows 7 addressed the user issues (to a point) and was very stable -> Agreed
Windows 8 had it's issues, somewhat fixed by 8.1, but still buggy. Marketing mistake in making a PC look and act like a smart phone -> I HATED it due to the look, as you say, a TERRIBLE CHILDISH AND STUPID mistake...
Windows 10 now seems to be that next release that addressed some user issues with 8 and appears to be the next stable release to be around awhile -> I can only hope...

I'd like to cheer on the Delegate and everyone for this. For The West Pacific, this is the perfect document to reflect the culture and politics here.
Thanks Dali. But that means that the document is immediately invalid in the eyes of the anti-us movement looool

I have no problem with it. I only ask for it to be put in the polls and see TWP's response to it.
Why? The in-game is separate from this, our off-sire realm.
We can PROMOTE it there, but this shouldn't be VOTED there. Don't mix the realms.

In other forums using this de, it is Set at around 900px so 950px sounds right.

Good riddance! Don't let the door hit you on the back in your way out.

If not, do we want one? I'd like to think I can help run one... but I would like to know where we are at now. I've been sort of disconnected and away for a while...
