Good evenin' everyone!

In the past I have done several interviews/articles for the Prime-Squadron website as you might know. Also other people like Scary and Flow have been interviewing people time by time, but the 'Articels & Interviews' section did become kinda 'death'.

I'd really love to make new interviews and articles again but to do that I would like to know what you want to read. And that's also the reason I openen this topic. I hope you can tell me what you'd like to see. In example: Interviews (with members, former players/member, regulars etc. & what do you want to know about those players?) columns (& about what), reviews or maybe something else.

Further I don't have any specific preference and aslong as your proposal is a bit serious I'll pay some attention to it.

If there are also people reading this and are thinking: ''Hey, I would like to make interviews & articles myself to'' , that's always possible. Just make sure you control the english language properly but it doesn't have to be flawless ;). You can always ask me for some help and I'm sure other people with experiences in the Articles & Interviews or experiences with writing can help you a bit. To call some names

I was going to write an article about teamkilling (appeal to teamkillers). But somehow... I can't force myself to do it, can't make it happen :/

You made me blush, Davies! :P

Count me in of course, but also bear in mind that I've got my exams this year and I migh not be able to "produce" a piece of writing per week or so.

We could also expand and relate to some other stuff, coz as far as I can see there are almost only interviews in the section.

no need, he is right ;)

But ok. You could also write about:

- Server rules (to explain rules that need explanation)
- Maps you think are cool/not cool (and suggest to add/remove those)
- ETPro matches (if you played, or if national teams play, or w/e)
- Big sports events in real life
- Ask some player to tell about his/her city
- Ask some player to tell about him/herself (like what he/she does in real life, etc)
- New mods, tweaks, upgrades, settings, etc
- Why a cfg is useful, and give hints about what to use and what to leave alone
- About music, new songs/mixes etc
- Events people really need to see/visit
- Gossip about relationships between players or rumors about players :D

Its been some time since I worked on a newspaper :P So Im a little short of ideas, but it should give enough inspiration imo :) Good luck with it ^^

i really liked the funwar cover. any kind of reviews or 3rd person commentaries about events are a great read. i'd say go at that direction.

about interviews: idk if id wish to read someones life stories or their personal life. more about their stand in the community here and their gaming life (ya know, nothing boring :P).

I will try to produce something about configs, including some basic scripts etc. Maybe I will invite some guest writers in my article.

And when someone wants interview me by lack off victims, i am prepared :)
quoting deep:
henksmadje please read topic more carefully and other topics too where u reply, then u get the point and dont have to make stupid posts.

There should be interesting question about his/her connection with ET,PS, etc.
Don't only take those question what are in Introduction topic, otherwise it gets too boring. I remember few articels wich were made only with those question what you can already read from Introduction topic and those articels wasn't so interesting to read as others where were more question.
