| Ok, here it is. |
| The new edition of the Nannymud Times. |
| Its not more, its not less. This paper dont have any ambition |
| to be the best paper there ever was. Its just a small paper with |
| assorted material about Nannymud where anyone can write. |
| You have to take it for what it is. |
| |
| I, Leclerk, will work as an editor of this paper. I will write some |
| of the material for this paper, while others help me with other |
| pages. If i did all the material myself for this paper, it would not |
| last too long. Therefore, if you have anything you might write for |
| the paper, please do. I will happily add anything you want to write |
| for the paper. |
| |
| To keep the amount of work on this paper as low as possible, |
| the policy i will use is that i NEVER correct any typo. Even if it |
| jumps up and bites me in the nose, as a principle i will not edit |
*Press return for more or q to end. >
| such errors. We just have to live with the fact that im from Sweden |
| and English is just my second language. |
| |
| The ambition is that this paper should arrive with a new issue every |
| second week, but we just have to see for some weeks if that is possible. |
| Maby we have to stretch for one issue every month. |
| |
| Now, what is the reason that i started up this old idea of a paper for |
| Nannymud? |
| I guess there is three main reasons, the first reason is that i am |
| rather interested about journalism and the concept of writing in |
| general. Soo, i thought it would be fun just to make a tiny paper |
| here on Nanny that could be funny to write something for each week |
| or soo. |
| Second reason is that i think the present forums to write things |
| in Nannymud (mail and boards) lacks some abilities that a paper |
| like this might add to the game. |
| The third reason is that i have interest in starting a guild here on |
| Nannymud, and the admins dont have much faith in my ability to create |
| such a guild and instead of creating a realm i wanted to create |
| something different. But still something that can be of interest for |
| Nannymud and its players. |

| |
| Last, i hope everyone should enjoy this paper. This might sound |
| boring but please DO give feedback, this paper would be impossible |
| without readers like >>YOU<< ! |

| PS. For those of you who wonder why this paper took soo long to release, |
| the only reason i can give is that my RL takes too much time. |
