Having multiple columns is a cute idea, to be sure, but I think it would
make it less viewable to anyone not using a fixed-width email client all
the time.
Ah, I guess I just kind of assumed everybody used fixed-width clients.
I'll hold off on the multiple columns for now then. It also means less
breaking my brain trying to code a thing.
So, immediately I associated this with three historical mechanics:
Firstly, the Reportor, which you mentioned; secondly, the AWJ, which I
mentioned; and thirdly, the Phone Books, which used to be the
Registrar's report back in 1994.
The Phone Books officially consisted of The White Pages, a list of
players, active or otherwise and the Blue Pages, a list of Officers.
However, the Registrar could add whatever the thought would be useful
otherwise.
Under Ørjan's reign as Registrar, e added a section called The Yellow
Pages, which consisted of paid advertising space. This brings me to my
suggestion, and why I brought this up in the first place: you should
sell ad space in the newspaper, as a fun minigame and also a way to make
some quick money.
For more information on the Phone Books rule, look at Rule 676 in
Ørjan's archive.
The whole Phone Books thing sounds cool, I might look at that. I'll
definitely put some sort of ad space in there. That would be fun.
Overall, I'm glad you like the idea. Since I kinda just came up with
this, and I don't feel like going back and looking at everything that
happened last week, the first issue probably won't be published until
next week.
