A New Idea

Hello there.

It has come to my attention that the AF isn't doing as much as it should. So, rather than do some real work, I've decided to set up another Annual Tradition for the Foundation (aside from the World Council and the Histogram and Timeline). Once a year - I haven't decided when specifically, but around New Year's - the Foundation will be producing a newspaper, discussing various important goings on in the Micronational World and linking them in with historical happenings from the micronational past, with little tidbits thrown in for general interest here and there. I'm planning on calling this little publication the "Apollo Foundation Annual". Any and all that are interested should post here or PM me.

I need some writers for the articles themslves (I'll be doing some but I probably can't do 'em all), plus maybe someone that can create decent looking PDFs would be useful. Any other ideas are welcome, this is a bit off-the-cuff and I'm typing stuff as I think it.

Oh by the way - if anyone wants to do an Apollo Foundation Histogram for this year, or are interested generally, don't heistate to contact me. Me and Spangle can't do all the work, ya know! (And Scott has bigger fish to fry)

Long story-style articles on magical history, I'm well qualified to do.

Social assesments of the younger generations of micronationals I'm also trying, so could do that ...

Hmm... judging on the response in the MNN I was considering scrapping this idea, but I guess you can always rely on MCS people to dedicate themselves to typing up random crap! =P

I'll contact youse alls sometime about this. Maybe. Don't bet your Jamzinia on it, though.

how about different sections because surely this end projecty thing will be massive?

Colonel Vilhelm · Post by **Colonel Vilhelm** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:48 am

Off course!

*waits for trap to spring on unliscensed Spelling And/Or Grammar Police*

It wouldn't be massive. But having said that it wouldn't be 2 pages or something. What kinda sections were you thinking?

Post by **dr-spangle** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 12:43 pm

like...

societies would be a good section maybe maps would be a good section
and perhaps unions

micronations would be a large section
maybe governments a subsection
and citizenship/activity a subsection too...

Post by **Pete** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 8:36 am

Since the next time Craiteland expands.

vilhelm's right we need some fixed forum rules.

Micro Illuminati? Sounds rather professional to me ...

Post by **Pete** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 7:52 am

not really mainly because the Illuminati isn't a group of nations, but of individuals.

but were all individuals within our nations...

The idea is amusing and rather interesting but from what I hear orchestrated terribly. Although I wouldn't appreciate MI people in my nation, it understandably makes me not so much nervous of them, since I know they bear little to no clout amongst those whom I consider most respectable nations, but more of the inconvenience of ousting them should the need arise. Shame it exists, really.

Well, if they did anything that was obviously anti-my nation pro-MI then they'd have to be dealt with.
