Discussion: The City Scoop! August 10, 2007

The speeches were awesome! I wanted to copy portions from the Saddest Day by Popcorn123, the Overall Winner, that just gave me goosebumps when I read it:

We have a choice to make. We will fight to win this war, and some of us will fall. Or we will give up, surrender, and face extinction. I know the citizens and the heroes of this city. I know they will fight. They will fight because they must. They will fight because they can. They fight because they simply do not know how to surrender.

This is a war. This is a war that we did not choose. This is a war we neither wanted nor expected. This is not a war for any country, god, or wealth on the face of the Earth. This war is, in fact, over the face of the Earth. We fight for our world. We fight to live. We fight to win.

AAACK!!
Art info issues are my bad!

I apologize. I did the articles from work and was interrupted a few times. I can see about having the issues editted! I'm *sooo* sorry!!!

Edit : I'm really, really, really terribly sorry I made the errors on the authors. I am unable at this time to have it fixed, but will make it up to you in the next issue. I am not overlooking you or your artwork, it is, in fact, quite amazing. I really just need to collect the weekly art pieces without distraction. I'm sooo sorry. I will make it up to you!

I dont think it's a big deal, and dont really mind myself - so dont worry much! They're all linked to the right artists when you click on them, anyhow. You're not really getting paid or anything for this anyway, right? I think you and the rest are doing a wonderfull job on the Scoop, its fun to read and check up on

Thank you so much

Thanks for including my Turbo-Ski piece. Only very minor correction would be it was sketched and inked by Fox Lee and colored and touched-up by me.

EDIT: Also OMGZ I LOVES BECARO!

AH shucks... I guess since I was changing a flat tire last night around midnight I must have missed that memo...

I'd like to know who stuck my tire!

I saw one of the Lost lieutenants drooling at it & he must have been trying to make it a new shoulder pad for himself.

GAH. There has to be some reason I kept pooping up on the art credits

Just double or triple check yourself, or have someone check for you. lol

Eep! My SG base is in there!

I'm a happy troller now.

I am sorry folks, I messed up. I submitted a few bad links, at least one was caught by the layout staff ( I blame, as always, school. At least I'm getting "A"s there ).

Last week's black and white solution.
Color solution for last week's puzzle is fine, but incorrectly labeled as the maze solution <- that is not my fault )

Triumph: White Succubus: 50 Ill/Emp/PF Snow Globe: 50 Ice/FF/Ice Strobe: 50 PB Shi Otomi: 50 Ninja/Ninjistu/GW Stalker My other characters

See MrsAlphaOne... I told you that Freedom wasn't all bad! It was nice running into you that night. Hope you enjoyed the festivities. If we weren't properly introduced, I was Rx1. One of the ghost healers in the sewers.

*hops up and down*

I didn't realize the screenie I took for Teldon was so...AWESOME!

Thanks guys and gals, keep up the good work!

WHAT!?!?!?!?!? ...NO ONE FROM GUARDIAN INTERVIEWED AGAIN?? WERE GETTING SNUBBED!!

Thank ya very much for the Statesman statue, guys.

Glad to see people liked what I sent in!

If you are referring to BtM or Encounters, no. Plenty of folks from guradian have been interviewed. We can not hit every server every week.

seems your doing fine for some servers though arent ya :P

All I do now is respond to those that want to do one thru my pm box. I know not what servers they are on untill the interviews are done.

Grats to all the contest winners and awardees. I'm really going to have to step up my writing to break into such fast company.

Which means if you want more Guardian interviews, Bob, pop down to the Guardian forum and tell 'em to get busy with the PMs

How would you all feel about us proceeding to run a sampling of the more notable entries in the coming weeks?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think that's a fantastic idea, Marcian_Tobay. Judging by the calibur of the entries I have seen today, I would love to read what others sent in. Plus it would be cool to see my humble lil speech somewhere.

Anyway- great Scoop, once again. Great job to everyone involved. This is a perfect addition to our community!

Hi MrsAlphaOne,

Just a couple small nitpicks: Two of the names of those who helped out in the the event are incorrect:

Hamenopi as opposed to Hamenpoi (Poi is awful enough without ham being added )

...And...

Raul (Sombra, specifically) as opposed to Ramón.

The event itself was quite fun and I will be participating again the next time they have one!

Okay, I know this is old news, but thanks for the cool loot from the contest. I am moving right now, so photos are not possible, but I intend to take a few and get them online as soon as possible.

You have made an old man's day! Thanks again, Scooop and the Devs...
