Dead End Daily Newspaper

SLURL:

BACKGROUND: I would like to take the business into various directions. Keep regular stories rolling but also collaborate with other business and faction leads for stories. Whether that is being bribed to create stories in good light of certain businesses or factions, or smearing them all over the pages in a false campaign to create drama and intrigue. I feel like new employees of this place need a direction to go into. So being a hard-ass lead (character only, not myself personally of course) would be a good idea to recklessly send out the new hires on "missions" to get stories. Bribery would be involved too with getting good stories in the paper. False allegations, slandering, maybe even actual comics getting posted every other week. I was thinking of doing comics for the newspaper, either political for business-related topics, or comical but also with underlying hints to businesses and factions.

UNIQUE: I would really want to see it immersive with other groups. Especially with other hires getting their hands dirty with stories. And actually having "consequences" when not getting the stories in on time or something that is not engaging. I feel like the lead should be a bit of an asshat/hard-ass. And I think my character could pull it off very well.

EXPERIENCE:I used to be an admin for a long-dead RP sim called Neo Tokyo and I was always involved. I even became a sort of storyline-driver admin where I would make alts and create storylines for others to get into and follow along with or be involved. Then when Neo Tokyo died it relocated and changed into Saga: The Beginning. I was asked to come along even though it only had a brief lifespan. I did the same thing there, created storylines and intrigue for players to immerse into. Unfortunately that RP sim also died due to lack of funding.

IDEAS:I want to directly engage in new players with the business. Giving them "mission" assignments to get into. Get their hands dirty. Or do something to keep them clean. It's all about interaction and I want to be an open lead to interact with.

OTHER:I would probably do an in-character event where the best story gets recognition in the paper, along with a monetary reward. The dirtier, the more scandalous, the better. Or the best photograph of a crime in progress gets a monetary prize and recognition in the paper and a favor for future use.
