I thought "The Manticore Missive" was more of a pamphlet than a newspaper. Am I wrong?

I thought the same thing when I saw the post title.
This is weird. Everytime I Click on that @link from Lighthouse, I come upon a Page with a Fill-out Screen from Austin American-Statesman, stating, "Please tell us about yourself."
Edit: Seems to be fixed now.
Gotta tell ya. I love to see this game get any publicity it can get. But dont you get the slight feeling that the person doing the reporting is pro NCSoft? I'm sure World of Borecraft (Warcraft) has it's own events going. And I know MxO does too, since I play that game to remind me how lucky I am that CoX exists. lol

He already gets the comic book and you want him to have a newspaper too? Media fatigue is a horrible thing, you know.

Yes he switched sides, why do you think we now have:
The New Statesman 
<QR>
Well, the reporter herself was doing the piece on just NCsoft since NA office is located in Austin so it makes sense that they would cover just NCsoft games. Being the person that was interviewed, I would say she wasn't biased one way or the other since she didn't know a lot to start off with.

Oh come now... we have a whole comic book devoted to trying and failing to make TA/Archery look cool. He doesn't need a newspaper too.
So how soon before Statesman becomes GenericHeroXXXX
