Fake News
« on: 23 Aug 2017, 11:54 »

I dunno man, I kind of have been drawing a blank recently, in terms of new stuff to write about.

And some of the stuff on the new IGS is... well, it's like what the mainstream media looks like nowadays compared to The Onion, as opposed to what mainstream media looked like compared to the Onion ten years ago.

Must be a tough gig to be a satirist when most roleplayers manage to parody and caricature their own characters and content of their own volition, you mean?

There has been a definite down turn.  But I have little doubt that your skill as a journalist will 'rake' up to something. :D

Get meta with it, just start quoting the most egregious shitposters word for word.

Muck, do you ever just mail players asking what your reporters could find out about them?
Where did you usually get inspiration for articles?

Kind of, yeah.

Not giving up just yet, just need things to stimulate ideas.

real life news sometimes, weird things found in missions/pve, deliberate misinterpretation of bits of lore, and so on.

You'll find something along the road. Alternatively, you could take up shitposting like what someone else said. Healthy and original content :)
