Teaser: The Wolfie News

Teaser: The Wolfie News
Posted 2024-02-22 02:58:41 (edited)
🐾      Intro:  Hello! I am Styx (#95159) and welcome to the 'official' teaser thread for The Wolfie News, a player-run news thread created by me and overseen by a few of us (worker list linked in the second reply/third post). Please note that this is not the same as the official news updates published weekly by the Wolvden admins! And now, on behalf of all of us, thank you for reading this thread! (I swear the words get so ugly on Wolvden)


🐺      Rules:  Although you might have seen more news articles like this thread on other game sites, we are the ones implementing this project on Wolvden. So seeing more of this popping up randomly isn't very nice and please don't do it.
🐺      Rules:  All basic WD rules apply too! But that said, please do not mini-mod unless you are one of us (mostly mods, but I'll let it slide if you hold another role). Once or twice might be fine in case it is just a mistake, but more than that. . . You might be blocked :D
🐺      Rules:  Please be respectful to everyone in this thread, and yes, that includes the players you dislike or has beef with. Please don't argue in this thread, be nice to each other, and if you really have to, at least take this to PMs. The pass is your favorite wolf, please put it in the pass section of the form. Thank you!
🐺      Rules:  Spam is tolerated based off Wolvden rules, and small conversation is okay as well. But that said, if you want to talk more/ chat a lot, I ask that you bring it to PMs. And if you want to be noticed by us, I recommend that you PM me or others whose names are in the Leadership  with the link to your reply in this thread.
🐺      Rules:  More rules may be added, and note that while I may copy over part of to the main thread when I post it, there may be changes/omissions/additions so please reread it when I post the actual thing! Thank you XD


🐾      Info:    So this post has four purposes: to tease for the release of the first TWN news post, to act as a hiring thread for TWN, get feedback && thoughts on this massive project and to get the idea out into the community. Let's dive in!
🐾      Info:    Teaser: Soso the first post will be posted somewhere in March-April, whenever I get inspo to write (or if we get enough applications, then it'll probably be faster), and I have a couple of ideas about what it should be about, but we'll see. For now, I am sticking to a biweekly posting schedule, but again, that's up to availability and a couple other factors. I'll sorta minitease here a few days before I actually post it. . . If I remember, that is.
🐾      Info:    Hiring: Yeah! So we get to the actual fun part. Alright, so this is a huge project, so we need people to help us run it, and hopefully after a while, I don't have to write so much imho but we'll see. The two users whom I've already gone ahead and approached, sorry for not really continuing our discussion, but uhm please apply here for the neatness. The hiring forms are in the second post/first reply. I might not accept every application, but you won't be rejected, just on a waiting list so if we need people we might still accept you :D Please note that while it is not a necessity, having discord // quotev would help immensely. My Quotev, which contains a lot of my writing-related examples, is @/howlingacheron
🐾      Info:    Thoughts: Feedback, the thing that we always need. So please pm me or reply here with the feedback // questions // suggestions // anything else that you might have, and we'll get to you as soon as possible. I personally mostly just rollover in lunar events, so I'll answer everything whenever I can. Just note that I would roll biweekly just so that I can post new stuff until I get some users to help me imo. Also, the real news won't be in this format. It's just easier to read and organize like this for a teaser. Thank you in advance for your contributions!
🐾      Info:    Advertising: There isn't much to say for this but I want to share this idea with the community first, so that when I actually post it, people won't just ignore it like. . . A lot of other posts. A discord channel is planned but is still in the 'early stages of development' so please don't rush us. I'm going to need someone who actually can make bots.


🐺      Outro:  Mhm that should be it! Please refer to the second and third posts for more info regarding registration, the fourth post for the FAQs, and stay tuned for the miniteaser coming soon!

Leadership

Your role is to manage the whole thing alongside me. This is the only role that we might give clear rejections, as we would prefer to only pick a couple people. But if they go inactive or if we realize we need more people, we would reopen applications so you're welcome to reapply. So don't be discouraged if we reject you, and feel free to apply even if I do not know you well!

Coder

Your role is to do any coding we might need, such as the Discord channel. This is a comparably chiller role, as you would have a long time to do what you need to unless it is urgent.

Frequently Asked Questions:

(Name of Asker #ID: Question

Answer: Insert Here)




Rabid Syn #2611: What news are you going to cover that differs from the official news thread?

Answer: The news posts mostly cover the technical stuff, so in the case of a lunar event, it would be new BGs, decors, applicators, etc, while (if we decide to do it) we would be writing something like the effect on economy, interviews with other players, etc. And unlike the news post, we would be more subjective, casual and hopefully funny/interesting. We might post the stuff a bit later than the official news/event's beginning because we need to consolidate things, preferably in 2-3 days. In between events, we might also cover topics and stuff the official news won't, like exclusive interviews (might not be with users :o, more info when we actually do it), happenings around the site, our opinions on things, etc

Ofcc! Please fill up the form and send it to me in PMs // by replying here. Of course, you can tell us if you don't have enough time to do stuff, and the roles are interchangable technically except for Leaders if you have extra time. Thank you for your interest and have a nice day!!
