Talk:Itorunt Informer/April '06
Oh you dirty thieving sons of small woodland creatures! You stole our periodical setup! Well, I cant blame you for copying your betters! Vellos 1 April 2006 01:03 (CEST)
- Actually, we got this off of Sirions failed paper. Which is presumably where you nicked yours from anyways. Watch us get more views now! --The1exile 1 April 2006 01:06 (CEST)
Oh now this is laughable! A haiku! I believe we mentioned something about "real poetry"! (OOC- Actually, I happen to like haikus, but Hireshmont doesnt, lol) Vellos 1 April 2006 16:50 (CEST)
I have added the small article mentioning our agreement to the IJARG. --The1exile 1 April 2006 22:37 (CEST)
You Itorunt Informing Idiots! This is no Cease Fire! This is just to stop spamming our newpapers [sic] !--Twinblade 1 April 2006 22:53 (CEST)
Oh really? What do you call stopping writing articles for the sake of taking the mick out of other papers then? I call it a ceasefire, but not peace. I added a [sic] tag to you misspelling here by the way, my discuss page, my privilege. --The1exile 2 April 2006 12:28 (CEST)
Its not a cease fire, merely an agreement on what weapons are legal(OOC- lol, no WMDs! :D )Vellos 2 April 2006 17:57 (CEST)
Where do you come up with this stuff?
Skirmish in Al Aquabah? Perdanese becoming more stupid?
Honestly, where do you come up with this stuff? When Ito and Ibby armies abandoned Al Aquabah, leaving behind 9 TLs to get slaughtered by the Perdanese and Ubent armies, resulting over well over 200 Ito/Ibby deaths accompanied by practically no Perdanese/Ubent deaths, we didn't mount personal attacks calling you stupid. When you did it again the very next turn, leaving 4 TLs behind in Ar Raqqah, resulting in around 60 or 70 deaths, we didn't mount personal attacks. When three Perdan nobles miss the turn and get caught by an invading army that wasn't there the turn before, you call them idiots. Is this what it's come down to? Should I go back through my history and post al the Ibby/Ito TLs that have suicided into our armies for the past month?
Running newspapers for opposing realms, and providing alternate viewpoints for the events is fun, and interesting. It can provide a lot of entertainment. Loading it up with insults and ad hominem attacks takes the fun out of it. Where's the mutual respect for other players?

Oh, loosen up a bit. Its just creative reporting. (OOC- I dont think they were insulting other players, but characters. Newspapers are IC, not OOC) Vellos 4 April 2006 00:52 (CEST)
- Plus theres not really anything wrong with insulting the other realms in your own newspaper anyway. Though this story would probably be more interesting if they included the sticky ends the Perdanese troops came to when they were brutally bludgeoned to death. Then you could comment on how their hollowed out skulls make for good candle stick holders and other overpriced ornaments hehe. Now thats news hehe - Revan
Of course they're IC. And obviously some propaganda is to be expected. But when you start insulting people in such a childish manner... (Perdanese becoming more stupid?)... I suppose that your IJARG prohibition on the writing "...of any articles specifically dedicated to the insulting or "bashing" of any other paper..." doesn't carry over to talking about other realm's players.

- Good point. To comply with IJARG regulations, the article title probably should be "Skirmish in Al Aquabbah?" or whatever. The in-article dissing is all right, so long as there is clearly another purpose to the article: Discussing/reporting on the skirmish in Al Aquabbah. So, to comply with IJARG regulations, I would STRONGLY RECOMEND changing the title to "Skirmish in AL Aquabbah". Vellos 4 April 2006 03:29 (CEST)
Ok, I'll change the name on one condition, you go yell at Talless for what she writes first. Besides, If your problem is with the insult being childish then I'm sure I could come up with a more elabrate one, but if you'll excuse me, i'm going to draft on insulting Ubent now... OOC: I wasn't insulting other players, but when enemy troop leaders are insulted in game and called stupid I should have the right to publish it in the realms newspaper, as an IC insult. --The1exile 4 April 2006 17:43 (CEST)
It isnt a problem of insulting IN THE ARTICLE, actually. Thats legit, because you clearly HAVE another purpose to the article. Its just the title. Vellos 4 April 2006 17:57 (CEST)
I stil say you should yell at twinblade first, but I will change the title. Busy now though, Caligus bashing to do! --The1exile 4 April 2006 18:12 (CEST)
Since the signing of IJARG, the Caligan Courier has not produced any articles, as far as I know. Its possible I'm wrong. Once they start coming out, we will watch them too. Vellos 4 April 2006 18:53 (CEST)
You have Violated IJARG! The Caligan Tactic Disaster is an article that does nothing but insult us. You are the Itorunt Informer, keep Itorunts news not ours. I dont go around writing articles on your losses and calling you stupid! --Twinblade 11 April 2006 17:43 (CEST)
