The Atamaran Advocate is a soon to be founded international newspaper in Atamara and is the brainchild of Benny Kimura. There is a concerted effort to get at least one representative from every realm in Atamara to take part in this project.


Journalists

Template Talk

Started designing for the paper, need consensus as to what colour scheme we should emplace. Template:Atamaran_Advocate_Main and Template:Atamaran_Advocate_Header. It's just black and white for now. No columns for the writing, maybe need to reduce the size of entry to reflect shorter entries. --Jezralhm 10:30, 25 February 2007 (CET)

As an island-wide paper I think that a more neutral color scheme would be better. I don't have any objections to black and white, but I'm also not the one with the skills to design the layout. Elenar 07:22, 26 February 2007 (CET)
I like the templates and the colour scheme but I just wondered. What's the extra space to the right of the Main Template for? --Revan 23:27, 26 February 2007 (CET)
That space is for our egos. --Fade 12:28, 27 February 2007 (EST)
Note, it can also be easily changed. I'm just playing around, the width is just 90%. I was worrying - if a full 100% would be too much space to fulfill in some high resolution browsers. --Jezralhm 09:36, 27 February 2007 (CET)
I think the 90% is fine. Once we 100% agree on a format, I'll set us off with a big bang of an article, and we'll go from there. --Fade 18:04, 28 February 2007 (CET)
I think 100% would be better as it would be worse to waste space on low resolution browsers. --Revan 18:30, 28 February 2007 (CET)

Newspaper Editions

I was just wondering how we would eventually edition this newspaper? There are surely going to be too many of us to make monthly editions as is currently the norm on the wiki (far too much to read through I'm thinking.) Perhaps we should decide on making fortnightly or even weekly editions? --Revan 18:46, 25 February 2007 (CET)

Fortnightly seems the most viable option. Also, and while our aim is for unbiased reporting, I'm sure a weekly report/newspaper with a monthly commentary/editorial from our journalists can be hailed (OOC: encourages roleplay?). --Jezralhm 06:37, 26 February 2007 (CET)
Fortnightly sounds good and the editorial sounds really interesting. This newspaper is going to be freaking sweet :D!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Elenar (talkcontribs) 14:28, 26 February 2007 (UTC).
Indeed, and I'm loving the layout. Good job mate. (OOC: Work's been a bit killer lately, so I had no time to sit down and pull it from scratch, so thank you SOOO much for your work so far ^__^). Yes, UNBIASED is the key word, folks. Editorials are, of course, opinionated, so you can show a little bias in those, but for the actual news articles, your patriotism needs to be checked at the door (and if it is not, a couple of hours listening to Mossimo sing is in store for you). - Benny (Fade) 11:45, 26 February 2007 (EST)
No problem! Glad to put my boredom to good use. --Jezralhm 09:36, 27 February 2007 (CET)

Capashinia

Heheh, I find it amusing to see Capashinia listed here, considering that at last news, there were only one or two members...--RubyDragon 01:20, 26 February 2007 (CET)

Aye, and neither of them are conscious at the minute either ;) --Revan 01:29, 26 February 2007 (CET)
