Talk:RedSpan/Told By Benny/Feb2007

Death and Attack

My deepest condolences to the Kimura family. May your trip to Eston guide you to your righteous path. In regards to your recent article, "Just like their news reporters can trash talk and not even participate in the fight (not that I'm saying any names, Crescent)", Crescent did battle hard in the RedSpan-Darkan war. I fought by his side and his cavalry caused a great roar as my men worked on the walls of Stargard. --Jezralhm 10:21, 5 February 2007 (CET)

Clarified the statements. He was without a unit during the Sullenport fight, which is when he did most of his trash talking. - Fade 2:42, 6 February 2007 (EST)

Lavigna's Terror Continues

Marshall is a common surname while Marshal is the high military rank. All readers, note the last surnames. ;) --Jezralhm 08:17, 6 February 2007 (CET)

Also fixed. Thanks for pointing out that silly mistake. =) - Fade 2:43, 6 February 2007 (EST)

What an honour.I kinda feel this newspaper was born only in my honour...It has my name the least 10 times in each page.And all that for Fade's execution.Oh sure....I hope it makes you feel better i prayed for his soul.Also may i as well report you i asekd him to stay in Darka and get to know us better but he prefered the underground.Fce your relative's treason with pride and accept my act as the only Just thing to do for my realm,instead of throwing me mudd.But one way or another,thank you,i adore your newspaper. Lavigna

The editors of "As Told By Benny" kindly request that Lady Lavigna get a more competent scribe. - Fade 2:46, 9 February 2007 (EST)

Lady Lavigna will dissapoint the editors of "Whatever nonsense Benny says".She as well states that her scribes may not be good in grammar but still,she's keeping them because she knows perfectly well everyone understand what she says....given the fact they always answer to her messages with relevant answers. Lavigna

Then the editors ask all of Darka to stop butchering the English language and create better schools so the next judge can have good, happy scribes. - Fade 12:27, 16 February 2007 (EST)

Lavigna's less-than-perfect English has nothing to do with the character, but with the player. She's Greek, English is not her first language, so it's not really appropriate to wise-crack about it, even if it's just aimed at the character. This is one of those instances where the player = the character. -Pizarro 19:08, 16 February 2007 (CET)

(OOC: I agree with Pizarro on the topic of the grammatical errors, spelling errors and the like. While it may be easy to target Yavanna's English, we must consider how we would fare if we were to write complicated essays in Greek.) --Jezralhm 10:17, 17 February 2007 (CET)

(OOC: I'm aware of all that, Benny's just an asshole. And even then, I do believe most computers come equiped with a spell-checker at the least. But no OOC offense intended. This is why I keep these wisecracks off the main paper) - Fade

Hiring

Query as to hiring other staff. Wouldn't hiring foreign (ie. non-RedSpan) journalists take this paper from classification of RedSpan press? Also, unless another writer's name is Benny, this wouldn't really be all told by Benny! Not critiquing, just thought this warranted some comment. --Jezralhm 10:17, 17 February 2007 (CET)

Yes, and yes. This paper would effectively end, and a new "international" one, with a better name mind you, started up. This started out as a minor project, and has been moderately succesful, so it's on to newer and better things. - Fade

An intercontinetal newspaper? This sounds interesting. Although I'm still writing for the Tara Times I may be interested in helping out with an intercontiental newspaper as well.--Rojo 18:38, 17 February 2007 (CET)

I would be interested in an international paper too. Don't forget to sign off (OOC: ~~~~)! --Jezralhm 21:10, 17 February 2007 (CET)

Well, since there is apparently some interest, I'll see about starting one up in the near future. Any suggestions for a new name? - Fade 12:24, 18 February 2007 (EST)

Just throwing stuff out there off the top of my head: the Atamaran Advocate, or Atamara's Voice. --Rojo 18:31, 18 February 2007 (CET)

How about instead of changing this paper, why dont you start a completely new one? So instead of getting rid of this paper (unless Benny really wants to), just start a new international one up. ScottSabin 19:53, 18 February 2007 (CET)
