Newspaper: Closed | Started by: Lucretia_Borgia on Jan 24, '10 20:11 |
So, I got to about three quarters of the way through writing my newspaper today (it would have been posted under the name "The Sin City Sentinel," for the curious -- yeah, I liked the name too -- and it was not going to be bunnies and rainbows this time either), and saw one of my writers dishonorably discharged. I'll not get into specifics about it, but suffice it to say, I personally find the reason totally unjustified and a direct contradiction of prior administrative statements. I had been under the impression that my publication was now on the level and I could keep it up as long as lines were not crossed again. Apparently this was not the case. |

I won't try to change your mind, what I will say, as I already have said, is that it was the only paper worth it's salt and as such, a great loss to MR. |

By far the finest publication to hit our streets since I joined this thing of ours. I'm sincere in saying that I shall truly miss reading your fine paper. |

I've no idea of the circumstances, but it sounds far from ideal. It's saddening to see the paper succumb. Lucretia, you did a brilliant job and as others have said, it was the only one worth reading. Your efforts were always appreciated. |

Yours was the best paper around by a long long way, I fully understand your reasons for pulling it from the shelves, and I applaud them. |

If I was putting so much effort into the community to produce what, in my opinion, was the finest ever newspaper on this site or .org, I'd probably have taken the same decision. From a purely selfish point of view, the paper was one of the highlights of the week so will be sadly missed by this player. |

As someone who consistently devoted multiple hours a day to the streets, I can completely understand your decision. |

Sometimes you can move forward because you keep shooting yourself in the foot. |
