The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Hello! Those of you who don't know what I'm talking about in this thread, or if you haven't read my first post regarding this, then here's the link.

So, basically, I'm going to be hiring some people for the CYS weekly paper, the first ever newspaper CYS had. It was shut down, but now will be returning.

 

After a while of struggling with multiple problems in the project, including spies, competition, and people going off to make their own articles based off my idea, we shut it down, and CYS's first paper was no more. A while after that the competing newspapers left as well, and now I've come back to restart the project. 

 

If you would like to join in the rebuilding and production of this, then the positions you can ask for go as the following;

Manager: The most highest of high besides myself, my go-to person for help, and the boss when I can't be around. I will choose one other person to be deputy manager for when the manager is away, or both of us are away. Sorts things out when I'm not around. This person requires to have decent grammar and have some experience here. if you would like to take this role you must have full attention when tagged, and must be somewhat active. This is not first come first serve, and you will be replaced if you are not thought of as an official manager, and if someone else who also seems to fit the description asks for the spot.

Reporters: These people should be loyal to the paper, work hard on their project, and be able to bring their work forward on time-that means that if you want to be a reporter then you should have time to do this and won't slack, as this may cause demotion weather it be your choice or not. But I'll be generous with second and third chances of course.

Writers: These people have a little less work to handle, as this is like half of the job of reporters have, and all they have to do is receive the interview from a selected interviewer who was assigned to them, just as the writer is assigned to the interviewer, and write the story. They will be partnered with a interviewer and the two will work together to create their piece.

Interviewers: These people also have little work, as this may suit you better then reporter would, and gives you more time to do other things. If you choose this then you will be assigned to one or more interviews and ask a few questions, along with maybe a prank question or two..For reasons unknown.. OOoooooOOOooo but, of course, you should not ask questions you are not told to unless given the permission by me or the writer.

Back-up reporter: The name says it all. You have the job of both interviewer and writer, only your story will be a back-up or extra in case one of the other reporters either fail or their story isn't good enough. If you're not needed in the paper from the week you did your article then you will be featured in another one, weather it be the next issue or the one after that

Comedy writer: This person will be in charge of the funnies section and will collect some comic strips to be used there, along with some written comedy. If you would like to play just part of this role, then go ahead!

Forum game reviewer: This person will either pick or be assigned to a role-play or forum game, look it over, and write a review on it. This does not take much work and you'll be expected to write at least 100 words, and it must be handed in on the deadline. But it you simply can't write 100 words, then you may ask to write it shorter and await permission.

Story-game reviewer: This person will either pick or be assigned to a Story-game and will play it through, several times if needed, and will write their review on it.  This does not take much work and you'll be expected to write at least 100 words, and it must be handed in on the deadline. But it you simply can't write 100 words, then you may ask to write it shorter and await permission.

Art and reading: This is still a WIP, and if I do decide to do something along the lines of this then it will be posted below. Comment on weather or not you'd like to participate in something like this. It may just be a section with writing and art created by people from this site, and the person who does this would hve an easy job that doesn't take much time.

Updates and announcements: Also a work in progress, and if I do decide to make something like this then it would most likely be something like this; A person who works on a section that will probably have reviews and interviews on people's reactions and thoughts on the latest updates and announcements, along with contests and interviews of the winners and their thoughts.

Editor: This role requires a great vocabulary and excellent grammar. This is required before any issues are posted, and this person will look over the entire issue and correct all spelling and grammar mistakes, except for the ones by any people who are answering questions in the interviews, and the editor maybe even change a few things here and there. This needs to be done the day before the paper is released and is one of the most important jobs. So, if you think you have what it takes, then please tell me below!

 

These are the current jobs and roles that the paper will require, and I will wait until we have at least three quarters of these roles filled, and there can be more then one person each for every role except for the manager role.

After this is done I will set up the Staff Lodge thread where the staff can talk and plan, and it will have details of how to send your work to me.

I would actually like to be a writer :)

 

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Sure! The job's all yours!

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Oooh yay!

 

But just one question... what does a reporter actually do? You've explained that their job is difficult but you haven't explained what their purpose is.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Basically interviewer and writer combined. They bring forth a full story, interviews and all.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Okay! Thanks!

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

With so many roles, won't half the active community already be making it? Who has the role of reading it?

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago
I'll sign up to skim it and read the jokes then be dissapointed in the jokes and not read any of the rest of it.

Just like reading a real newspaper.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

That's a job? Sweet, I'll do that job, too. When can I expect my paycheck?

I would like to apply for the role of interviewer.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Sure! You have the part.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Whoop!

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

I can try to be either an interviewer or a storygame reviewer. Whichever is required.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Well, you could be either one, or even both if you want.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Interviewer, then. RNG says.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

What does a writer do? Just transcribe an interview, or what?

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Yes, overall that explains it. Writer basically writes a story connected to the interviews.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

I'd like to be a reporter if I'm able. This sounds fun.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Sure! You're in.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Well I like the ambition being shown here and as I should be more active on the site's Forums so I'd like to apply for the role of Story Games Reviewer.

I am wondering what the content of this paper will be incidentally? I assume it will have news sections, interviews, comedy section, forum games review section (yay) but I was wondering specifically what different things would be in it? Also it seems having both a Writer and Interviewer could make things a bit difficult, rather the Interviewer could easily frame or present the Interview or send it on to the Editor or the Manager to turn into a full article :) Just a thought.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Well if you're wondering about what concepts we'll cover, Just about anything interesting, but it will have to be CYS related, like for example large outbreak of trolling.... Don't know why I used that as an example..... So basically, stories about CYS, because if it wasn't at least a little about CYS, then, that would be silly. But it will mostly rely on what the reporters bring in as stories.

Anyway, you have the part. It will be an honor working with you.

What does the Comedy Writer entail? Is there a theme to the comedy (a weekly theme would be cool).

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Do you think you should make a post for people and their roles?

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

I second this idea.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

The staff lodge will handle that. ^w^

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

I know I'm new here, but wtf. I'd like to apply for Story-game reviewer.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Ok then. We have a few story game reviewers already so you may have to wait til next issue, or maybe not. Depends.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

I would like to work on updates and announcements.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Sure!

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Yay, thanks for accepting!

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

I would like to take Comedy Writer.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

I could write some jokes and @ZagHero can do the comic strip (possibly, maybe, surely).

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Yeah! Tim and Chris could be the comic strip!

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

......Or...other things.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Other things...

I could draw average figures to enact the jokes.

What would we call it?

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Zagat Comics or

Gazag Gallery

Maybe Gat and Zag's Comic Explosion

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Nice. Just write some jokes and PM them to me.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

We don't even know if we got the job, I got no reply from JayStar. For future reference I enjoy the name of our comic be "Gat and Zag's Comic Explosion" it sounds exciting. 

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Alright.

@jaystarthecat

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

I would personally like to hear one of these jokes.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Honestly the jokes might be in traditional newspaper comic style. 

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Oh, really? Well, you have my interest then.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Oh BTW... are you going to join the soon to be newspaper?

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

I'm not really sure yet tbh. Umm, I most likely won't unfortunately. :l

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

M'kay. :)

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Yup! Somebody's got to read this soon-to-be paper and critique it after all.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Dafuq u say bich

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Fuck that, Tim and Chris should definitely be the comic. If there's anything else, I will be disgusted.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

@GatMan

It seems the people want Tim and Chris.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

We can do both

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Hmm.. I checked your profile, and didn't really see much sign of a troller, so I guess you have the job. ¯\_(?)_/¯

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Yay, Gat & Zag's Comic Explosion is a go.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Much sign of a Troll?

What would that look like?

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

I can be a storygame reviewer. I could also put up on or two jokes every week.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Hmm.. Ok. You're in.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Yay! I have a good reservoir of Russian jokes that can be easily translated into English.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago
Won't be as good as CYS drama alert.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Blaze was seriously considered as a writer, and GatMan has been put in charge of an entire section. So....yeah, I think that's just kind of a given.

There are many different ways and levels from which to enjoy things posted on the internet though. It seems very limiting to only appreciate things that are 'good', when that disqualifies so much that is hilarious. I fully expect to enjoy reading everything this newsletter produced.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

Have you read My Immortal? You seem like you would like it.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Actually it's a collaboration with Zag

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

Hello, could I be an editor or a writer?

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Editor hasn't been taken yet, so I think that'd be good(as far as I know).

Keep in mind, you can take more than one part, so you could be editor and writer!

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

As Seto has said,  you may take both parts if you want to and think you have the time.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Thanks! But I think I'll stick to editing.

'cause of pointing out mistakes

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago
So currently, we are missing a Back-up Reporter, Forum Game Reviewer, & Art and Reading. Oh, and a Deputy Manager.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago
I'd make a great forum game reviewer.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago
It'd be great if you joined us, Ford! :D

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago
The joke is that I never review things nor do I play/have an interest in forum games :P

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

They should recruit Sent for this.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

If you're speaking of sentinel penguin, then I believe he wouldn't wish to join. Back when the paper was running, he was part of the competition, and we fought quite a bit.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago
@jaystarthecat Kingler1140 wants to be deputy manager.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Yeeer my faaaaverite deputy

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago
Me? :o

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

It's a Toy Story joke.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago
Oh. I haven't watched any xD

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago
I am a sad person. Shhh let's do this on PM and not derail this thread xD

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Why is there lines through your words?

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

*N00B ALERT*

It's a cross out. Mainly used as a joke here.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Don't be a nard! It's called a Strikethrough!

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Hmm.. Okay. For now, anyway. ^w^

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Well, I think I know what one of our first articles should be. xD

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Yeah, with such groundbreaking news as Delta coming back, your first article is practically written.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Ohhh

Delta is back?

I've always wanted to ask if I could be part of his harem :P

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Okay, so up 'till now we have:

Jay, as our almighty leader

¿Seto?, who I think is manager

Kingler1140, as our favorite deputy (manager)

Charaxes as a reporter

Eshpoyeofdoom as our top writer

Gat as our comedy specialist

MrMustachio as an interviewer (I think)

Will11 and DS as Story Game Reviewers, alongside Wizzy

and BaggedMilk as updates and announcements.

I think Ford got to be a Forum Game Reviewer, so... anyone up for reporter or back up reporter, or Art & Reading?

 

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Favorite deputy? I've been here little more than a week

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

wat were is da zeg

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Sorry! Of course, you are an interviewer.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

What? No! I'm doing the comics with Gat!

;_; i feel so unluvd

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Just do whatever (-_-)

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

I ruv u (Not gay doe) I'm not gay I mean it.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Love you more, buddy.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

If there can be more than one story game reviewer, I wanna be another forum game reviewer.

And I'll be even better than Ford, too, but that's a given.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Fine by me, but go ask Jay.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Hi, Sent! I honestly didn't expect to see you sign up, but since you did I'll be happy to give you the position.

 Anyway, looking forward to working with you!

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

I should've backed down when I could

Yup, I'm an interviewer.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Can I be a gossip writer? Or regular writer. Whatever fits.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Are there still any roles left? I mean, it's probably dead (I'm sorry if it's obvious, I suck at knowing whether or not it is dead), but, if possible, I'd like to be an editor. Perhaps a storygame reviewer. Perhaps forum game reviewer. I'm sorry if the thread is dead...

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

You sure can join, as whatever you feel like.

Perhaps you might end up with a bit of a different job. Just a small chance though.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Ok, as long as my role isn't a reporter one. Uhhh, editor or something? I don't think anyone is for Art and Reading...

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

No, the thread is not dead. ^w^

Back-up reporter and art and reading are currently empty, and you can also be a forum-game reviewer if you want.

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

I guess I could be for art and reading... I also guess that a forum game person would be boring, I have a strict rule for any RP game I play. I could dig up good photoshops done by random people on the Internet*, but don't expect me to post any of my own. 

*That's just work, I'd also need to give credit. 

I could definitely survive with editor.  

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

And, are you gonna post a new thread where you tell who's working on the paper? 

The CYS weekly is back!-Sign ups-

8 years ago

Yes. I mentioned it earlier, and most likely I'll put it up tomorrow. But, if I feel motivated to, I may get it up tonight. It depends.
