The BattleConquest Times

A few games have an in-game "Newspaper". Where players list Ads. I was hoping we would have something similar. People can read Community Lore, advertise their Fragments listed on the Market or hey even the current "Changelog" all find place in such a newspaper.

Of course this will have it's share of Spammers and people trying to insert nasty ads. But that is something I am confident can be handled via Spam Filters. Basically a "BattleConquest (World NAME here) Newsscroll" which appears as an Icon next to the current bottom right icons on peoples screen. Upon clicking this icon, a newspaper / newsscroll is shown to them of Current Changelog, Lore, Stats, ads listed by players.

This can also tie in with the community driven Lore. (I am waiting for a Community Lore Forum Area, to contribute to it (Yeah, I know bad time to bring that up).) Players can see the lore voted and added to canon every week. Ads can be changed every 6 hours (Turn end.)

Stats mentioned in the Newspaper above can be similar to:

Most PvP's fought today by: Awesome Light Player (nn) || Awesome Darkness Player. (nn)
Most PvP Wins today by: Awesome Light Player (nn) || Awesome Darkness Player. (nn)
Most influence in last turn: Awesome Light Player (nn) || Awesome Light Guild (nn) || Awesome Darkness Player || Awesome Darkness Guild (nn)

Regions that changed hands last turn : Region #nn of the ____ faction was captured by the ______ faction. From the very bloody battlefields our scouts report that _____ Guild owned the region, but were defeated. In this endeavor the _____ faction reigned supreme by the efforts of the ______ player and the ______ Guild.

^^ You get the idea. Embarassed

We can also add stats for faction wide 'Most Muted' as well as globally 'Most Muted'. Name and shame, I mean let them publicly display their infamy Embarassed

This can also appear in the Newsscroll (doesn't have to be scrolling news. Scroll here is not to be confused with the scroll from scrolling text. Wink

)

I don't bother with the when, you people already work too hard. I know when everything else has been done and the time is right you will get to it. Embarassed

This is my favorite part and it could be automated, which makes it even cooler. You could add "Most CP Gained as well."

Obviously, it would only be interesting if it contains drawing of dwarven female with little to no clothes and articles about beer.

How about a compromise?

A drawing of a plump female dwarf with no clothing on and an apple in her mouth being roasted and served with beer?

Is this going to be a basic layout with names and numbers changing every day with possibly a few adverts or is this going to be something where the editor (possibly a player) receives a few pieces of info and create the articlesfrom that as well as creating their own e.g. the outrage from the nerfing of epics and GLS or a mixture inbetween.

Will this be a daily or weekly thing or perhaps a mixture of both where you could have the daily paper giving a few stats and adverts and the weekly one having stats, adverts, possibly interviews and random player writen articles?

Will there be a global paper or perhaps one for each faction or possibly guild leaflets or any player can create a newspaper and people can pay a small amount to read it and the creators will get a bit of res for their efforts or they could give it away free and get extra res from advertising. However if there was only 1 or 2 newspaper then either Rune would be very busy or there will be arguments over who creates the newspaper.
