Let's plan this news paper idea

The basic minimum support that Muse should provide is something like the asset kit provided for GW2 by arena.net
The media pack for GOIO is missing some fundemental basics for community generated promotion. There isn't even a "clean" version of the logo available that I've found.
Lord Dick Tim:
Ok, lets insanity check where we are right now
* Community Gossip
The forming and dispanding of prominent clans in the game. The coming and goings of Muse Staff, patch notes and release using an RP perspective. EX: Flak Cannon given a fuse timer/ Anvala Safety authorities have added a timer to Flak ammunition in response to the recent catastrophe at Acme Weapons Manufactures. Ammunition will now be inert on loading and will have a second long flight time before going live.
* Contests/Events
Listing of events, upcoming along with faux holidays. A good grab would be using prominent holidays from the earlier WW1 era that would still be celebrated or some non-American holidays that would add diversity to the scene. For example, St. Davids Day a traditionally Welsh celebration which is happening today.
* After Action Reports
NEWS FROM THE FRONT! Snippets of information from duels that are happening in the game, could be completely random.
* Bountys
A listing of the current bounty season results, short stories surrounding particular bounty heads, interviews of bounty hunters.
* Sporting Events/The Cogs
Here we given an account of the after action of sporting events, with links to streams.
Muse Support
Honestly, we don't need any MUSE support in this endeavor, it can be purely our own. Open Office is a free to use Word Processor and can be downloaded at OpenOffice.org By using the spreadsheet to create a template the articles can then be turned into a PDF in Adobe Reader. We can supply our own art assets and screen shots such as End scores, match pre-fits for selected teams, pictures from the bounty board.
Setting the Concrete
If you're serious, and you really want to get in this boat, send me a PM on the forums stating what area you want to get involved in and what kind of contributions you want to, can, or would like help getting together. I'm sacrificing my sanity to be the focal point of the intel gathering for now until we start to see who can actually lead this ship out into open waters.
N-Sunderland:
Just to make sure you don't get anything wrong about SMAC's situation, here are the facts:
-Spasmic Monkey is stepping down from his leadership position and giving GoIO a rest for a (long) while, since he's lost interest in the game.
-Hizumi is looking likely to grab the spot at the top of the clan, but it's not yet official.
-The clan is not dead. We still have a few active players, but others have been silent for quite a while.
-We're trying to assemble a team for Cogs, but it's been several days since we last discussed it and only 4 or 5 players have expressed interest.
That should be enough for a gossip article.

I guess they haven't come around to doing such a thing, since it isn't IMO that extremely important.
Lord Dick Tim:
I got 3 PMs so far and have set a task for each person and either they will go, alright YA! or say, wtf LDT I wanna do this instead. Either way, it'll still be awesome. Sunder donated that bit for the gossip and Pickle I've asked to work on a format. Two others are working on editorials and whats left is a highlight on the bounty board. I'll shoot a pm to some of the bounty heads for a bounty article.
We also need screenshots. Mostly first person, with some third person. I could gank them from steam or have some user submitted ones. If you have anything completed you want to send me either PM me or send an attachmemt to the_kraikken@yahoo.com with the subject line, GOI Newspaper.
