It was an angry resident complaining
about a not delivered newspaper. I tried to tell her, it was a she (I
won't reveal your name Sylvia), that there were some logistical
problems and that we probably didn't have her address correctly
listed. I invented that answer all by myself.
I took her address and put it on the
desk of the editor. Then I realized that there is no editor, no staff
and no newspaper. Nobody would read the message I just wrote down.
Looking around I could see the
potential and the idea of becoming the editor popped into my mind.
Quickly I went home, grabbed my tool-belt and installed new locks. If
ever Roc would ask I could tell him there was a burglary and that I
had to replace them, not so far from the truth.
The next day I called around some mates
and friends and asked if they could help out, setting up a new
newspaper. TJ was game immediately, he does anything for a good beer.
Qie was skeptical and wanted to write an lsl script to generate
articles. Mari just wanted to play with her new drumsticks and
destroyed a typewriter. Dakota had too much beer and was later
arrested by TJ while she was cruising to make articles.
Michael L. dropped by to say Hi to
everybody in Bay City.
Together we started work, getting the
addresses right, sending out big invoices, and writing up some real
serious stuff.
We had to use a second hand printing
press I found at a castle in Zindra. The normal one is too
complicated and uses methods that haven't even been invented yet!
(what is a laser?)
The press we used is easy to handle,
just a drum you turn around by hand. You insert the print from the
typewriter, wrap it around the drum, poor in ink, add a stack of
paper and swing baby swing!
In practice, for you dear readers, this
means no columns but a continues roll of paper, top down till the
end. Lucky I found some rulers you can see on the web. With the rulers you can select articles made by a
reporter or a different ruler to select articles about a specific
subject. I also provide some links in this article.
Covered in ink we came up with this
edition. I hope you like it. Please ignore the smudges.
