| + | 1) My paper's layout was <b>inspired</b>, not copied from The Rampant Lion. It was *also* inspired by some things of the changes the OR paper did to the layout of The Rampant Lion. (it was also inspired by the layout of the news section of my high school paper, of which I was an editor at one point) Looking at the two papers for about ten seconds should be plenty to indicate to anyone that the changes I made to the layout were not insignificant. The widths of the "right hand box" and the main articles page are different. I use sections and subsections, along with a table of contents, for ease of navigation. Borrowing from OR's paper, we created a "Page 2" for the more in-depth articles. My paper also added its own elements. I divided "page two" into sections, like a real newspaper would (News, Features, and Opinions are different sections you'll find in many a newspaper, and I got the idea from my high school newspaper). We also mark each of our stories as such, like a real newspaper would. The latter two are original, so far as I know. | ||

| + | 2) "Stealing" the layout doesn't matter. Even the editor of the Rampant Lion says it doesn't matter if I “stole” his layout. Even if I had outright simply copy pasted the layout, it wouldn't matter. What matters is what's *inside* the layout. I will match the quality of my articles against yours any day of the week. I happen to believe they are more interesting, more clearly and professionally written, and simply better. At least they don't have spelling mistakes left, right, and center. I won't even go into the atrocious grammar. But, harping out about the layout and trying to make a battle of it strikes me as very silly, where you could be talking about, you know, the actual *articles* instead. But considering what I've seen so far of your writing, maybe that's not such a good idea. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 3) We cannot "steal" what we <b>openly on our header admit to having borrowed from</b>. The assistance of the Rampant Lion's layout is attributed on our page. I formally request you to redact or withdraw this statement: "The editor of Yssarias new paper, the "Red Star Courier", somewhat thinks alike Alex of the Itorunt Informer in stealing formats. But instead of stealing our format as Alex did, he stole The Rampant Lions. (Fact not Rumor)". This statement is at best an allegation made without any support, and at worst verifiably false. | ||

Aeillien Mandraken is a Knight of Isadril, his family being from there, and thus pledged allegiance to Duke Rackir.
At a tender age of 22, Aeillien has stepped forth for the Mandraken family to lend his skills and talents to Yssaria, who have protected the city of their ancestry well and have made it prosprous.
He is the Chief Editor of The Red Star Courier, lending the sharpness of his pen as well as his sword to his realm.
