<font color="#000000" face="Courier, New" size="+1">GNN asked Mr. Spearman these very same questions this morning, whereupon the company owner replied: "With the latest in Media Broadcasting technology, GNN will reach every man, woman and child across the galaxy. Leaving no stone unturned, we seek to stamp out suffering, bring an end to injustice, burn the gossip mill to the ground and work for the common good of the people. And we guarantee to bring the latest news and updates accurately, before any other media network."</font></td></tr></table>

Would you believe that loaded slower for me?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Well, now there are TWO of them in the same thread. >_<

:lol

[Valgarv]

Well, I am hosting the images on geocities... they're not especially fast. That and the fact that you need to wait for the first one to load before that one does.

Still, it's less than half the size of the original image, looks crisper in most areas and doesn't have any spelling errors. :)

The Cizerack will be getting on this don't worry. :)

The GNN updates will be improving in quality as time goes on, but we really wanted to set sail tonight. :)

[Navaria Tarkin]

wonders what happened to .. Aliya :mneh

[Slayn Cloak]

:: waves menacing fist at gnn and sanis::



::pokes gnn media net with a moldy stick ::

[Sanis Prent]

Trust me...nobody will be safe from the media. You can hide from force attacks, fleet attacks, and bounty hunter attacks. You can't hide from public scrutiny...be it real or exaggerated >D

[Telan Desaria]

can wait to se whatte galaxy thinks of my little slice of the Empire.

Or the others, for that matter.

*hopes good. Readies stormtroopers for poll taking of Thyferra and Bespin.*

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

*hides all of the left socks she steals from everyone's dryers*

[Lilaena De'Ville]

AH HA! I wondered where those went... o_O

:crack

[Lilaena De'Ville]

He's on a stealth boat. Shhhhh!

[Alpha]

How do you tell which one is the left sock?

And what would I do that could be put in the news...:)

[Jhyx]

How do you tell which one is the left sock?

Why it's simple, my boy.








It's magic.

just like the garage door opener.

[Garrett Blade]

Impressive!

Most Impressive.


But you are not a media tycoon yet!

Okay, well maybe you are - but I just wanted to finish changing the quote! (Not from the film - from my mates Darth Vader electronic piggy bank! :p)

I really like the newspaper article. Which reminds me - Hermes, I'll make my account and sig for my new character tonight.

[Loki Ahmrah]

You like me, you really like me! (http://www.andrew-milligan.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/misc/simlove.mp3)



Sorry, just HAD to get that out of my system. Anywho, thanks Garrett - by the way, bring the piggy bank home with you :D - hopefully we can get something started today.

[Xazor Elessar]

AHHH!!

:: Hides beneath X-Wing in hopes of not being captured in the news :: :p

[Ange Tot]

*Media-ish voice*

On GNN tonight we have footage of Marcus Q'Dunn, the Jedi Master, taking a bath!





j/k!

But that'd be creepy anyways.......

[Vega Van-Derveld]

;; on TV ;;

:crack WOO :D

[Xazor Elessar]

:lol!! That would be creepy!!! ;)

Vega....we gotta hide or they'll tape our "moments" :lol!!! ;)

[Ange Tot]

*media-ish voice again*

Breaking news!

We have just got this amature video of the whole Dark/Black Hand, the infamous Dark Jedi group, picking their noses!

*end media-ish voice*

:lol

[Vega Van-Derveld]

:mischief

Uh, I mean :uhoh

[Xazor Elessar]

:lol !!!!!!!!

Yeah, I agree.......no more :mischief

Just plain....... :uhoh

[Zeke]

I think this is sorta lame. What, you go breaking into threads with your probe droids, come up with some crap about it and post it in OOC? If we wanted to see what was happening in other threads, we'd go read them!

[Gav Mortis]

GNN is actually an IC group but it works better to make press releases here in OOC as they aren't roleplays.


What, you go breaking into threads with your probe droids

I'd hardly call it "breaking in" if the threads are open.


come up with some crap about it

Crap? Depends on what your definition of crap would be I guess but let's just say this GNN "crap" will be around for quite some time and will influence nearly every group who roleplay here IC in the long run.


If we wanted to see what was happening in other threads, we'd go read them!

But if you think a thread looks boring then GNN gives a summary, with a link to the thread - which it will - and you find out it's quite a good plot then you wont miss out on some fun. Plus it helps advertise roleplays that have important or interesting plots to them which may affect others in some form or another and thus just like any media service is both influential and informative.

At the end of the day, you don't have to read the GNN press releases.

[Zeke]

I believe it was in "On top of a waterfall" where Spearman says "And now for a healthy helping of scandal". That's what's meant by crap. You go in, see what's up and create a false story for it.

[imported_Grev Drasen]

Isn't that what the media is all about?

That's the idea. o_O

[Zeke]

Then you're really not telling us what the thread is about. According the thing that started this thread, you're going to report the truth. If you go in and say something untrue about a thread, that's not the truth, and makes you liars and spreads a false idea on what's really going on.

[Gav Mortis]

Think of it like this way. I am roleplaying through the articles, think of a GNN article as a character with bias and whatnot. Ultimately, GNN will be a tool for acquiring power and status but the articles will be 80% truth, some even 100% but what isn't true will only be a few carefully worded sentences to influence readers in an IC way, not OOC.

::Gets an Evil Idea::

HEHEHEHEHEHE!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

*gets a ...cramp*

[MMU]

*sits down in a corner of Spearman's office and starts coloring on the wall with his crayons*

[ReaperFett]

a...cramp? :)



I still think this idea rules

[Dwayne Hicks]

The media sucks.

[Daiquiri Van-Derveld]

*Gets a cramp from drooling over Dwayne Hicks/Michael Biehn*

:crack

[Sanis Prent]

for the longest time, I was wondering who registered that name...

[Xazor Elessar]

Yeah, the whole idea is to make reality laced with falscity! :lol It's like the tabloids......ya know? Could make for some really awesome (and hilarious) reads! ;)

[imported_Lance Stormrider]

<.<............

[imported_Lance Stormrider]

Gawd im gonna be on TV :D!

Just don't come in my room when I'm changing >_<

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I think the idea rules as well. :) :crack

[Leeloo Mina]

*drools over Brad Pitt*

I like the idea.. since I don't rp, I dont check threads.. but I'd like to know what's going on, anyway. I used to bug Jeseth about it.. but he never comes here anymore so he doesn't know what's up. I NEED GNN :)
