Wow, I can't believe how many names victoria has. I'm surprised the gotgames vic ladder hasn't got more poeple on it now?

On anpher note looking forward to the first publication, this weekend is it. Sounds like you are going really well with it, I didn't expect it so soon.

I've designed the newsletter template, but the challenge is fitting it all in a way that doesn't make it seem like a long-fiction novel

CAO, if need be, cut whatever you think needs to be cut to make things fit.

If you want though, I can do that.

CAOTIC wins the game :)

A big thanks to everyone who contributed, (And apologies to those whose hard work ended up being cut >_<).

Especially to CAO for coming up with the final design and layout.
It would have been a heck of a job.

Tommorow I will initiate the mass mailout.

I've emailed it out. One slight hitch with the email formatting, but otherwise it was a great success.

Uploading the contact list in a mass upload was the hard part.

It's a bit strange seeing it all in image format. But that's no problem XD

*goes off to read the rest of it*

Decent read, having said that I only really completely the QBB and Toon Link and Shaya article. Only tweaks I would suggest is just a more exciting layout or font? I'm not sure. Looks a bit dull atm, but it's only the first one so ok.
Great work though. Love the concept.

excellent work guys, and love the first character spot light, yay for toon link.

one suggestion though, is it posible to add the picture files as attachments to the email instead of having them as links to an url, that way it will be a bit easier to read and appear all on the same screne instead of having to keep opening more windows.

will also be more convenient when viewing it on console browsers (ie. wii and PSP) and smartphones (ie. blackberry and iPhone). thanks guys

and again great job. I may even write something up for future publications if i get the time.

If we're making this publication monthly, it makes sense to release each new publication as close as possible to the start date of a new month. So I'll go ahead and start writing some new articles and I'll wait for you to finish your stuff and write up what you want to.

I'm more than happy to manage the development and distribution of the second edition.

A good final date for all new content is October 3.

- Melbourne September Monthly and Manifest review
- Adelaide Streetgeek review
- Sydney Smoosh Boost 2 review
- Ken and Survivor Gabon
- GotGames national Circuit updates
- Queensland QBB and Animania roundup
- Sydney Don't Come promotion
*any new articles people want to add, post away and I'll add it in here*

the newsletter is about smash and its community in general and the interesting stuff that happens in it - not exclusively tournament information. it would go under international news
