Is this supposed to be an attempt to be unbiased news? Write a story from the region crashers point of view and I'm sure it'd be a different story. And no less truthful. Anyone remember that little part in the rules that talks about how Region Crashing is part of the game? I do. Why can't we all remember that, instead of whining whenever they see a region crashed. These 'stories' do nothing more then promote defense propoganda. I do like the idea of this news program, but its utterly worthless if you only have 1 side. It'd be like Real Life news. And who wants to be corrupt and powerhungry like they are in real life? Not I. Its all about fun, and if you can have fun crashing regions go for it. If you have fun by defending go for it. Writing stories? go for it. Just don't leave out everything because of personal bias. That totally destroys your credibility. When will there be news about how nice and fun this certain group of region crashers are? Note that I do respect what you do. Also note that I respect Defenders as well. Without them crashing would be way less fun  Remember... Fun... It does a body good. It is also what Games are all about.  I've said my piece, now you say yours. |

And you guys always complain about us hard working crashers. But to crash you need to plan, defenders just sit on there lazy asses allday. We make the game, with out crashers "and" defenders NS would just be a bunch of Greifers and RP'rs. |

Very true. My region China has been region-crashed many times. The other hand, we invaded them back and region-crashed them and their allies back. Its certain region-Crashing is all in the game. Griefing is not.

Seattle News is not pro -invader or defender it is pro-dead. ANyway regarding China Holtwood was the region that greifed you they have been punished and will continue to be the momment they crash next they will end up crashed. SO invaders that grief do get punished.

You will notice that I appear to be the last reporter left conscious at the bar.
This service has exactly the same failings as real life news sources, inaccuracy, poor grammar, and bias.
There is, of late, a persistent scream of “invading is part of the game”. We all know; the sky is blue, and bears %~@! in the woods.
I can only speak for my own stories but as far as I recall I have never called invaders evil or defenders good and I have never moralised even about griefing.
If you want to write stories which favour invader PM (not me, I just work here) an admin and start writing.

I am still around from time to time as well.
If anyone wishes to be a reporter here, just post it here, and I will take care of it.

I would like to become a full fledged reporter here. I know most of my posts here have been inflammatory remarks, but I will tone down the rhetoric in my news articles. I stay up on all the invasions/defence actions, and I think that it would be good to have me on your staff!

I suppose I probably should volunteer to do the same thing. I'm not quite as...angry as Franken and I too keep updated of breaking news.
And I do like NWR so much...it'd be a shame for it not have as much activity.

Angry? I call it passionate about what I believe in.
Anyway, I defintely can tone down the inflammatory rhetoric and concentrate on giving slightly invader biased news. I am quite active and I can write a good yarn about anything!

Well I hope you both get onto Yasmin then, it would be nice to see some more activity. My own contributions are too irregular.
