World News Sucks Heres Why

Dear I know, the very very first bulletin I ever made was about my Parliament and, like, they 'answered' back starting all of this

I just wanted to do a normal roleplay without having to explicitly say 'hey look at me, I'm a Furry' 

Its tiring...

As a quick respond to Zefronc statement if I missed a post simular to mine shoot me an in game message and I will look at it I only had time to read through 30/50 pages of posts so stuff got buried.

I'd say that the LGBTQ+ thing wasn't even centered around roleplay; it's more that actual LGBTQ+ players, nations with LGBTQ+ leadership and several others were pretty displeased about people being homophobic, which originally began when a certain nation banned LGBTQ+ rights within RP, but this escalated to be more of a serious thing.

Honestly, the furry war was fun, but I do feel bad for the Furry Empire since I'm sure he's trying to just enjoy the game without it basically being a war over the existence of his nation.

Viruses are absolutely overdone. Even though I've only been doing anything with World News for one major outbreak, I have read the rest, and though writing about Niohama was interesting, I do think there have been enough at this point.

This is why I'm working on things like The Wilderness (which, if anyone's looked at it, will have more parts, because I'm absolutely not just ending the story there), because I'm trying to come up with more unique plots, and I want to make World News less repetitive in general. I also think that certain nations have made really unique stories; a few of my favorites to read are Nova Mundus and The Chaos Insurgency's bulletins, and then OOW as well.

will say nyx I read the forest one you did and I was inpressed keep up the good work. 

Thanks :)

Yeah, I hear you I published a few things that you likely would like. Recently though I have published a bulletin tilted: On the State of Bulletins | Politics and War. A lot of people know it by now and if they don't, they do now but I am a bulletin activist you could say. I go in more detail in the above bulletin, but I am a fan of the potential World News has and I am super sad with how it has been wasted. I am also the Chief Founder of the Orbis Orbiter Weekly. Something I am really proud about. We are looking to bring the old people back to bulletins and make sure the best content is heard. I have so far published 5 editions and 1 mini edition, and I am looking forward to going for more. I am really glad that someone else so strongly shares my bulletin opinions though. 

Here are some of our best Editions: Legitamacy IN, Corruption OUT| OOW | Politics and War, The Furry Question| OOW | Politics and War

If you are interested, I am happy to talk about it in in-game messages. 

seriously a good wisdom that I had been waiting for centuries. Do you know what's the issue though?

regarding your out of character question, bulletins many times are used as an alternative to forums, for the sheer complicated structure of forums. 
This place is literal twitter. This place is supposed to be twitter. If there isn't some drama, then there is no good roleplay. I know, lgbt, homophobia and furrycide is really not what we should discuss, but what can you even expect? Homophobes many times roam without punishment and encourage more people to follow the same path. 

Killing furries is such popular, that the top bulletins once included killing furries. Here, people come to gain popularity. While I understand there are people who get popularity by good and honest means (eg: Elysian empire. Check him out if you want to, he pays a lot of dedication to his roleplay bulletins) but most gain popularity by infamous means.

I know many people who got famous by getting into dumb controversies, and by doing dumb stuff. Tbh, your bulletin won't change anything. I had written some articles regarding these before too. Nothing changed. 

I have done a lot of dumb stuff (getting into roleplay conflicts) and causing drama over pnw roleplay, and I know that what I did many times was wrong, but others, will need time to understand what their fault is. They are living in a bubble, and I used to live in one too. This only changed when covid kinda became non existent outta here and the time I got to visit the city of Kolkata after 2 years of lockdown. I understood what the outside world is, in summary I TOUCHED GRASS.

So the only possible solution is to make cringe roleplayers touch grass. I can guarantee you that the community will improve a lot better. Rp out here is toxic for reasons, reasons for how it operates. And no way are we able to solve this. Till the date the roleplayers wake up themselves and don't try to escape like I try to do, there is no way out.

I still appreciate your point. You belong to the group who actually spoke out of this sh*t happening outta here.

Honestly after reading bulletin after bulletin, (about this topic about bulletins becoming "stale" etc.) I think it accomplishes little. I do think that alot of the themes in RP right now are incredibly repetitive (including some of my own) Exclusivity to a single nation, when writing an rp storyline, is generally preferable to a whole host of nations because there is less margin for error if the OG knows what they are doing.

However, I do think people are kind of getting worked up over nothing, You guy's dont really care that much, but it also sounds like you do. Anyhow, people are over-reacting with some of these (Bulletin quality discussion bulletins) and largely in the comments, This is a good discussion on how this community can improve bulletins but like, my god, does it really matter?

Most of the cringe is from people who have not been here that long (like literally making alternative 9/11 bulletins) For other P&W players, the reasons you mentioned might be the reasons why people stay clear of bulletin rp, but I have not heard anything from the rest of players about it.

This comment was a Nothing burger 

@Kihansi Haley I am not trying to start an argument of any sort but rather an honest question. Is or is it not warranted that people push back against the boring monotony of bulletins. To address your point of many people sending these quality check bulletins I may be missing something but from what I have seen my bulletin on the quality came first and then this one right after. Two bulletins I think is just the right number to start reforms in the bulletin community. I may be wrong but honestly, I think it is working as well. I have seen an increase in quality bulletins and new discussions taking place about how to reform the bulletin community. 

@RoManic

Do note: All of these bulletins are either specifically talking about bulletins being stale or a specific trend

Thats a total of 8, and thats not counting all the comments on some bulletins talking about overused trends, but I think you do have a bit of a point.

There is a lot of staleness and overused trends, and alot of people are using bulletins to talk about drama (like the Novorossiya LGBTQ thing) or giving L takes (like the Novorossiya LGBTQ thing). Anyhow, I think that people are extremely quick to comment about this is or that, including myself, when it comes to discussing bulletins and their quality. People want everyone to start posting original stuff/etc, but I think that is kind of stale in itself. When news about the same thing in several countries shows thats not a bad thing really. It shows that it has a wide impact and that other nations are taking part in developing that roleplay/storyline.

Would I like it if people didn't ruin sophisticated story lines with "I created vaccine" "I killed your leader" "We develop this awesome solution in one day" Absolutely.

I would like it if people would write a bit more into depth instead of just copying and paste for that character limit. Ultimately though, this is a place for everyone to post what they want, and bulletins like this are good every once in a while but once people are posting everywhere about how something is stale etc. it just makes people want to stay away from bulletins. Not everyone wants or has the time/energy to spend 2 hours on bulletins, etc. 

I think OOW is a great example of a solution to this, its basically a news corporation with talented writers giving you the basics of what you need to know, creative content, etc.

This is a bit of a long rant
