So I respond to a "Guest Writers for the Scoop Wanted" classified, confirm I'm writing a guest article, and then my article gets shunted into Classifieds itself. What a waste of my time.

You can get purples from katie?

The Market Watch contest from last week is now closed. Tune in next week to find out who won!

Avatar: "Cheeky Jack O Lantern" by dimarie

They need an extra weekly column that explains that comic.

Also, no Arbiter Fabulous?

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.)

Erm, I'm sorry it did read a bit like a classified. I am the one that gave layout the choice of using it as a regular article or classified. However, it was included.

I will admit that I dropped the ball a tiny bit due to finals for my school quarter being this week (last 2 weeks of post secondary is rough), and not having a backup EiC since Pants_Stealer left.

I don't know what else to say besides that I will try not to make the same mistake again.

Statesmonkey Sez: Lighten up! It's a game, for Lincoln's sake!
Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.

where can i go to read the 'histories' of ingame NPC heros ?
im very interested in knowing how/why satesman, mynx, synapse, ect came to be the superpowered heros they are today....

this lateset SCOOP only serve to tease with a history on MYNX...where is it ??

PS - i can be emaild at teddiebare@cox.net
plz, plz, PLZ put ' COH FORUM ' in the subject line so it wont be automaticly routed to the spam folder

---

Mynx portrayed badly in the comics? The whole friggin Phalanx are portrayed as...insert language the filters would censor! I remember reading them and thinking,'These are the heroes we're supposed to be looking up to as role models for our characters?'.

Yeah, I think there was a bit of confusion over that. I'll admit I shifted that article around quite a bit trying to figure out where to place it... in the end it it just felt like it belonged there.

I'm sorry it made you feel like you wasted your time. We do appreciate anything that is written for us. We really do want the City Scoop to be a community project, rather than just being put together by just a handful of representatives.

I hope it doesn't discourage you to submit articles to us in the future. We would love to hear about how OWNSF events went and what plans there are for upcoming activities. We'll be certain to be more thoughtful in where we place articles in the future.

His comments or mine?

Seriously, the EiC position in the Scoop generally has the life expectancy of a Spinal Tap drummer and we've had more Art people disappear than EiCs.

Actually when i had the position i did do alot with it. As i explained elsewhere but obviously it never landed quite right.

RL PWNS da internet.

Alot of things have kept me from contributing like i had in the past and it's not like i'm happy about that. I'd love to be representing the art forums again. Maybe when things irl ease up i will.


So again....wheres the artz?

If you can find the time again, we'd love to have someone representing the arts again.

For the record, I meant after I started being EiC (in other words when I was forced to take a look at who was doing what). Which likely corresponded with your real life stuff.
