You guessed it! A newspaper. THE AZEROTH TIMES Sports: Night elves murder gnomes in tournament. The game seemed doomed from the start, the Night elf Moons seemed almost too good for the gnome Cogs. But the final score was only 100 to 3, marking the third time the Cogs have scored in these games. More info on page 5. ORCS RAID STORMWIND
Today at about 0650, a group of orcs set a raid out on the city of Storwind, outside of the Dwarven district. The city's citizens tried to defend with gnomish and dwarven bombs and and archers. The orcs, however, were able to build a very fortified wall to deflect the defensive strike. The guards were killed instantly as the orcs ran into the city. Another wall was constructed at the entrance gate to help the advance. The magi of the city began hurling spells and summoning elementals, which were easily countered by the shamans. When more orcs came to aid the onslaught, the paladins of Stormwind began to place seals around the city. The orcs then used armor spells of all varieties to help their warriors in battle. The orcs began to race into the city at about 0754. The arrows barely touched them with their upgraded armor. Soon after this, The De-buffers came to end the magical warfare. The orcsa re currently being rounded up by the city's guards. " I hope these brutes learn to not mess with the alliance" Said one dwarven guard. This crisis showed the awesome power of both the orcs seige and Stormwind's defenses. -------------------------------- For this little paper, I'm gonna be EXPECTING IDEAS IN PM'S!!!!! I am still a little sketchy on the format.... |

Guest | What the hell... I hope your newspaper will not entirely be like that Sports: A plain description that gets really confusing, it's hard to understant what happened... Orcs raid stormwind: This is not "Another story about Warcraft", this is "Another ersatz about Warcraft" Your story starts with plain decsriptions of what a gamer could get on his screen, and it gets worse with "The arrows barely touched them with their upgraded armor". So, in a newspaper, you would say "The military troops survived with their upgraded kevlar"? Pointless... And I'm skipping most of the horrible things I saw. I hope this will get WAY better... |

Dude, have you ever READ a newspaper? It is a description. I'd like to know what you think a newspapaer is. |

Guest | In a newspaper, people make descriptions, but have a point of wiew. Do read a newspaper (and I don't mean Mickey Magazine of course) before you sau anything like that. They try to hide their point of wiew, but it is rather hard and you can always guess. You are just speaking here to someone who made complete sociology studies including 1 superior sociology schools, and sociology relies almost completely on newspapers. Sometimes, there are totally neutral articles in newspapers, but they are simple sentences and very short. If this is what you are doing, then you are not writing "The Azeroth Times" but "Metro Magazine", a newspaper where articles are just plain crap and have no details, making them therefore almost useless. |

Hey, if you don't like my newspaper, don't read it. Basically, you want me to write about an event from a viewpoint. That was kinda what my goblin log was about before nobody posted feedback. |

Guest | I wasn't active in this part of the forum at that time... but I'm basically giving feedback to anyone and everyone now so people won't get discouraged (even if my ratings can be damn low sometimes) |

Suggestions: 1) Interviews 2) More detail!! 3) What BFD said in general (:P) I'm not going to give you a rating, it would be... well, you get the point. |

Guest | I really got pissed when I saw the spam gifs by Gili on front page, with those two stickmen kissing each other in 7 frames, 1 frame per second, and badly drawn, while I usually see quality terrains or drawings... |

Only I can insult KingGigli, and that was a one time thing to. Anyways, I can't really rate this as there isn't really anything here. You should have written more before you posted it. Rating this would be like rating to paragraphs of an incomplete story. |
