Attention
I am going to cancel the making of Paul's Press. It didn't turn out as I had hoped and it seems that it's not very popular with the community. In addition, I seem to have little time to make new articles and if I do; it would come out rushed and contain low quality. I apologize for any disappointments. Perhaps I will continue it again one day.
This is a Warbears newsletter made by myself and I, Frizzlepie Burritos. I will release a new article every 2 weeks. If you would like, feel free to PM me opinions, suggestions, ideas, or really anything that comes to your mind.
Click here to PM me.
Porkbeard
The next article will be released on Thursday, August 26th
Top Story
I will always have a top story, about a certain topic. I summarize the topic that I choose and discuss it. Yada, yada, yada. You know the drill.
Competition
PM me to send your entry. Be sure to read the rules before sending.
Item of the Week
I will choose an item available in BTC. This could be any item, such as flowers, ice-cream, furniture, clothes, anything within BTC. I then talk about the item and such.
Amusing Avatars
I scan through the forum, looking for avatars that are humorous, clever, etc. I then write a small review on the avatars I choose.
Rad Ad
This is where I advertise something. Anything, really.
Odd BTC Names
I look through the list of BTC citizens, searching for odd/unusual names. These are NOT the username, but of the BTC citizen.
The Funnies
A comic.
Fun Stuff
It could be anything fun, such as riddles, jokes, mazes, puzzles, anything. I will always try to include at least two items.
Fun Stuff Answer Key (Article # 4)
Highlight for the answer to the riddle; The maid murdered the girl, because mail doesn't come on Sunday.
Highlight for the answer to "What's Missing?"; The piece that holds up the wheel. It is located in Quizbot Emily's wheel.
Fun Stuff Anser Key (Article # 3)
Highlight for the answer to the riddle; An echo.
Click here for the maze answer key.
Fun Stuff Anser Key (Article # 2)
Highlight for the answer to riddle # 1; You can't bury the SURVIVORS
Highlight for the answer to riddle # 2; An Onion.
Click here for the maze answer key.
Fun Stuff Answer Key (Article # 1)
Highlight for the answer to the riddle; The older person is the younger person's mother.
Click here for the maze answer key.
Note: Not all sections mentioned above will be in one edition of the newsletter at the same time. I switch the sections around, for there is only room for five sections in one article of Paul's Press.
Also, did you notice the connection in the newsletter? Paul owns the floor and wallpaper shop, and I used the BTC floor and wallpaper designs as backgrounds for the topics!
Articles:
Article # 1
Article # 2
Article # 3
Article # 4
Article # 5

Heh, yay, another one.
The font is kinda ... simple, and the advert is pretty hard to read with the dark text on dark text. There isn't very much material in it, and frankly, the interview is boring (and she totally said Sobchak first >.>). The layout is also kinda iffy; there's lots of wasted space which is unappealing to mine eyes. The picture of Tooth is also pretty strange, with the one eyeball floating in her hair, heh. You should also create a new logo that's not just supersized-underlined-normal text.
All that being said, good effort for a first edition, but I don't find it nearly as interesting or entertaining as the others. _________________

I like the top story. I wonder if you could make a podcast out of it... _________________ Monster

Geez Sobchak, I'm not trying to be mean, and like I said, she totally said your name first. >.>
Frizzlepie is a very nice person, but I'm pointing out improvements that I think could be made. _________________

First of all, I commend your effort.
This is a cute newsletter, but honestly I read through and did not jump around with excitement like I always do when I read Bjorn's. It's nice and all, but my reaction is just like, . I think there needs to be some humour in it. _________________

I just don't see the point.
Bjorn does a humorous take on forum goings-on, with jokes and comedy being at center stage in RRR, the two comic sections and the Ad Break.
Knyh seems to still be finding his niche, but from the looks of it he's doing straight news filling the void between Bjorn's installments, and the two provide a constant, steady source of Warbears news.
I'm just not sure where this fits in. Maybe that will show after a few more issues, but as of right now it just seems like overkill. _________________ "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe."

It's actually what it looks like when you zoom in on hair with that.
I don't find this newsletter terrible, it could really turn out to be something enjoyable to read. It's a good first issue and with all this criticism you're getting, you should really take it and make an awesome next newsletter. _________________

Hahahhaa, I never knew I created that sort of reaction.
I won't add any criticism here Frizz because I may be bias.
I''ll just wish you the best of luck! |

That's probably no help, considering there's no such thing as luck. _________________ [img]http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff13/actionboy10/Siggy.png[/img] |

Well if that's the case at least it's a kind gesture rather than a moronic statement. |

Pfft, I know that. She could've chosen a more flattering pose, that's all. _________________
