Yup. There's an extra '/-' in the link. Take that out and the link will work, or just check out the Announcements section!

I liked that "Why I joined Longbow" story.

Is there any more chapters of this on the forums or was it a one-shot?

---

In the Arena of Logic, I fight unarmed.

Good issue. I enjoyed the "Why I joined Longbow" story, very entertaining. I also found the Market Watch article very informative.

I've also noticed that the last several issues have not had a Base Spotlight article. Despite this my attempts to submit my Protector heroside base have still received no response.

For those of you that will say that if I don't like what's in the City Scoop that I should submit my own content (as many people including a redname did last time) I'd like to point out that that's exactly what I am trying to do.

And here's the obligatory smiley: so that people won't mischaracterize this post as an angry rant, which it most certainly is not.

---

When will my base be featured?

---

Global - @Seigi no Akuma | Freedom mains:
Galvanized Justice - Electric Melee/Shield Scrapper
Overclocked Justice - Fire Blast/Traps Corrupter
Insanguinato - Fire Blast/Kinetics Corrupter
Insanguinata - Night Widow/Fortunata

We are unlikely to be putting out an issue this week due to lack of articles, so the next Scoop will be Aug 22.

For those that have bases they want featured, please send a PM to EnnVee. I am sorry if you have to send the information again.

---

So is the City Scoop currently accepting submissions for articles?

If so, what subject(s) and word count are acceptable?

---

The Scoop is always interested in article submissions.We have had lots of articles from outside the Scoop.

Anything game related, though we tend to shy away from editorial/rant articles. I'd like to see anywhere from 400-800 words or 1/2 page to page in length. More would likely have to be broken into separate articles.

If you would like pictures or screenshots, you should include those with the submissions. Host them on a site like photobucket or imageshack and submit links with the article.

---

Seems like from the recent announcement that the City Scoop went poop and needs a pooper scooper? Hee hee

Global: @Pandemonia

We're sorry. Due to the lack of adequate marketing, user patience has died 90+ days ago. Please try again sans "Soon."

I would just like to point out that neither I, nor my daughter Charlene, had ANYTHING to do with this!

---

Ditto for me, I was nowhere near Charlie's lab and/or the Scoop offices when this incident allegedly occurred...

---

So what happened to the Scoop? Is is done?

---

No, just no issue this week. It will presumably return to its regularly scheduled programming next week.

---

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)

I just called up the Paragon Pundit and he said the only thing he came up with recently was a suspicious news story of a guy currently living in exile in the Rogue Isles running for president.

Reverend NeoCon for President?

Mainly just too many people taking time off all at the same time. More people away means less articles to put in the Scoop. Yes, we are intending to put out a Scoop for the 22nd. We just felt everyone deserved better than the 2-3 articles that we had for this week.

For people asking what they can do to be involved with the Scoop (yes, this will be in the next Scoop too):

Hi there folks! One of the questions I get asked a lot is "How can I join the Scoop?", or at least a variation of it.

Well, first off you have to be able to communicate. I know that personally I respond better to a well written pm than to chat-speak. A lot of posting happens behind the scenes from scheduling to coming up with fresh ideas.

We generally want people to come up with an article every other week. If you feel like doing more than that, we will not stop you. By articles I would like anywhere between a quarter page to a full (Scoop) page. This roughly translates to 4-6 paragraphs to a dozen.

If you don't feel interested in those spots then you have to come up with a solid series of articles you want to do. I would ask that you would plan to do the series longer that just a few issues.

Any of these articles can be done in or out of character.

If you want to submit just an article or two while not being on the staff, that is good too. Write something up (between 400-800 words), and submit it. I can't promise all submissions will be put into the Scoop, but we will try our best. One word of warning: We have a two week deadline, so if you submit something, do not expect it to appear in the same week.

If you have gotten to this point I would suggest that you write up a few test articles, and submit them to one of the Editors in Chief (Currently only me). We will then share with the rest of the staff and decide if we would like your articles on a regular basis.

So there you have it. What we need from you to start at the Scoop.

I love that pic titled "Stalking & Sin Stalker" especially since its my characters lol.

I just have to point this out but... Its actually Stalkling & Sin Stalker. Stalk Ling. Like changling or underling.

And Stalkling is Sin Stalker's side kick for those at all curious... which I am pretty sure comes to a total of 0 lol.

If you do want to know more about them, check out www.justiceknights.net for there comic book series I am making.
