Ausmash news: BACK FROM THE GRAVE

[S.D]

Nothing happening in QLD melee.... Ill write something after a tourney...If something is really required Ill interview zac...or do history of QLD smash I guess

If there's nothing happening atm that's cool Ben, I think Antho is putting something together about Animania and maybe some meet that was going on so QLD will have something happening. Unless you were particularly motivated to do like a player profile or something which could be kewl.

Anyway while I'm here I might as well update everyone - I have 3-4 articles waiting to be edited, I have 2 things in the works and there are a few more things coming my way throughout the week. My aim is to compile everything and have the website up and running with our first published works in the next week two weeks tops.

 

[MTGod]

Sounds awesome - good work SD for organising all this :D

 

[Vyse]

Sam, I'm still planning on doing writeups for you, but I need some time. They might not have a lot of substance either purely because I'm lacking time atm. (Uni finishes in 3 weeks = **** all time to get assignments done).

 

[isthattim?]

just save some for next edition vyse, dont want to put everything on the first edition then have nothing for the second!

 

[Surgi]

The website has been almost up for weeks now -_-

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

so u want someone else to do something about it then? typical backseat aus smasher.

 

[Surgi]

umm syke you wanna stfu for once coz your an aus smasher too. Obviously i can't do **** about it because i don't have anything to do with making the site. Get over yourself dude

 

[S.D]

I'm still waiting on a couple of write-ups and a couple of interview responses. Once everything has been collated I'll put it together. I understand people want to see action, but these things need time and we're moving in the right direction. As soon as we have what we need the first edition will be available. No point rushing it if it isn't going to be quality.

 

[...Ellipsis...]

Sorry I haven't sent you any articles yet, I started writing one but I have 2 major assignments due next week. After they are done I'll definitely be able to finish the article. Also Toby and I are writing a combined article as well.

 

[Toby.]

^ Thisssss.

Uni is the scourge of the smash empire.

 

[S.D]

Just letting everyone know that I'm still waiting on a couple of articles and responses from people before we get this up and running.

Vyse, Toby and Liam, as soon as you get a chance I'm looking forward to your stuff, also waiting on some quotes from CAOTIC.

Once the initial site is up and running I think we'll release news as it happens, so rather than having any deadlines or separate issues, I will update the site with news as I receive it from contributors.

Another thing I can do is add people as contributors on the site, so you can upload your stories there for approval. Once the first batch of stories goes up anyone who wants to be able to contribute directly please let me know and I'll set up an account for you.

 

[...Ellipsis...]

Yeah I am just finishing off my last major assignment, should be done in aboot 2 hours so I can then finish my article. I assume Toby and myself can write our first recipe tonight as well.

 

[Vyse]

I'll get to it soon.

 

[CAOTIC]

Same here. Sam, I'd like to have some serious talks with you about this. Just a heads up.

Sounds ominous, why do I feel like I'm in trouble

No big hurry guys, I'm just letting everyone know where we are at so people don't think this is stagnating. Appreciate everyone's involvement a lot <3

 

[Toby.]

We both got assaulted by a gang of assessments and are currently experiencing a bout of minor sleep deprivation. Hammered out a recipe tonight, but don't like it enough to submit for the first issue. Currently working on my article. Will defs email it to you by tomorrow evening <3

No need to stretch yourself too thin over it Toby! Also I set you up with an admin account you should have received an email about it.

 

[CAOTIC]

It'll may involve working with MLG/SWF -- it's ok Sam! *pet pet pet*

 

[Toby.]

Thanks for that Sam. I had to make myself a new account just now so that my username complies with the contributor guidelines for a different website as well (let me know if you want the link)...So now I have like 5 Wordpress accounts. Uugh. I'm trying to delete the 'Toby.' account but that doesn't appear to be possible. Ah well. Just know that the one with my full name is the proper one.

KK sounds fine, doesn't really matter if there's some random account floating about I suppose.

 

[Surgi]

Lawl does Surgi get one too ^^? Nah Surgi doesn't deserve one he's lame -_-

 

[S.D]

Toby is an admin because we decided to co-lab this project. I'll happily set anyone who wishes to have one up with a contributor account.

 

[Surgi]

Totally. Sign me up S.D ^^ will totally be contributing to this as much as I can ^^

 

[Vyse]

SD I'll write my article within the next 24 hours. Probably while I'm on the train tommorrow.

I've finally got free time =_=

 

[CAOTIC]

I don't know when I'll have free time, I'm always knocking back stuff to do... ****

 

[S.D]

It's ok Dave I know you're busy, but as I mentioned before you don't need to go into too much depth in your responses, or even respond to everything, I just need some quotes for some feature stuff.

Awesome Antho I look forward to it!

Basically we're ready to go, once I've got the last few articles together I'm going to get everything up on the site and we;ll be up and running! Excitement!

 

[Vlade]

Looking forward to it

 

[Vyse]

Sam I've PM'd you with the crappy article I wrote.

 

[S.D]

Awesome - thanks Antho!

 

[...Ellipsis...]

Yeah I have basically finished my article, I just need to edit it. I'll try and finish it off now.

 

[S.D]

Been doing some work on the site and just finished a quick edit of the first 5 or 6 articles - looking great guys!

Can't wait to get Toby/Liam's stuff and CAO's answers so I can write up my last couple of pieces. I'm really looking forward to kicking this thing off - sorry it's taking so long guys!

 

[...Ellipsis...]

Alright emailed you some stuff.

 

[S.D]

Alright emailed you some stuff.

I feel you forgot your attachment.

In other news I've been mucking around with the site and have uploaded a number of stories. Site still needs some formatting and tinkering and I'm still waiting on responses from Cao before we get this thing up and running for real.

Edit: Ok I've been working on the site all day and I've gotta say it's really starting to take shape!! All I need now is to write my last couple of articles when I get my quotes and then were in business!

From that point on I'll provide every person who contributes with a wordpress account so that articles are attributed to the writer. I really hope everyone stays on board with this I think it's going to be great!

 

[Surgi]

S.D you're doing a fantastic job with this :D Can't wait till it's fully up and running ^_^

 

[Splice]

Oh btw Sam you need a different reporter or w/e for Dont Come 2 because I can't go at all coz of exams and stuff.

Sorry.

 

[CAOTIC]

I'll do it instead

 

[S.D]

I'll do it instead

Maximum wubings. See if you can get some flash quotes from the winning crew!

 

[Dekar289]

after every smash event there should be a 45 minute press conference

 

[CaLibUr_1337]

There should be a weekly TV show about Smash and what's been happening and every so often have someone famous like M2K be a guest on the show lulz.

I look forward to reading this once everything is completed

We tried to get post-match discussion... Seems as though that people who make the finals are all srs business and don't want to talk to the commentary... Snooty *******s xD
