Most of you probably don't know that, but before coming to MERPU I used to go on another Mass Effect roleplay forum, and one of the main reason of said forum's success was a way for the characters to talk among themselves on the extranet, not only in roleplays. I really miss it and I really think we should have something like that again. As a plot device I thought that my character Bintar could set up some sort of extranet newsletter for Slaves4Us and register you guys by default. It would send morally bankrupt ads but also articles he would find interesting, and people could actually comment on them. Arguably the first discussions would be "how the hell do I unregister from that crap, and why is my spam filter inffective against it?" But it could be used to post nice articles and snippets from members (for example, how about bringing back a certain asari ball game?), and have fun discussions, possibly inspiring new roleplays. And giving credible reasons from the different members to meet. What do you guys say?

For all those who were not on IRC earlier today (or tonight), Preeya and I came up with a geth/quarian news article that I'll hopefully have up before hitting the rack tonight. As for your idea Four, I like it, just wanted to make sure to have something worth posting before replying.

Well, we have not reached a 100% decision about the IC-area and how to realize it yet, so there's no need to rush yourself with it. However, I'm glad to read that there's so much interest in a discussion project. (Plus, you#re basically the one to come up with the idea, I just helped ^^)

It has been decided that such a project belongs to the Character Challenge section. It fits the description of the "about this area" guidline post of that section.

First post is up. Note that when Bintar says that only people who expressed interest in Slaves4Us got registered, he really means "all the extranet links I gathered from boards I used to go to, or valid addresses that we bought from spammers". So you want your character to receive it and comment on it, it's perfectly plausible. The next article will come up soon.

Haha! Amazing! This truly made my day! (I'll see if I can reply later, yet can't promise, since I'm on via mobile and don't have connection everywhere. XD)

That last (and excellent) article about the baby geth was submitted by Snow, so three cheers to him! The reason why we decided to publish it through the Slaves4Us newsletter is to provide a viable reason why people who comment there happen to me the small MERPU crowd. If there is an article you'd like published the same way don't hesitate to PM me.

Haha, brilliant idea! ^^ I'll keep it in mind for the chance I'm kissed by creativity and may come up with stuff for an article myself. ^^
