Great idea.

Here's the cover for the special edition.

Vev · June 16, 2003, 02:51

That would get the patriotic spirit rising! Arise fellow brothers and sisters and help out those in need.

The Claire Forlani Special will come out god knows when... I'm in the middle of moving house so... I may need either a volunteer to keep PRAVDA going untill I'm reconnected in the new place, or a little patience, and the hope I can come online at odd intervals untill everything's sorted out. I move on Sunday... perhaps I get another edition done before then, depends how the chaos here goes.

Here's another one:

This is by far the best I've ever seen.

As the deputy Chairman, you are entitled the help of Crimson Guard on your moving business.

Ok seriously, don't worry too much about Pravda. Let those captalistic dogs wait. The longer they wait, the more anxious they would feel. And they would not let go of it once they have it.

Jamski · June 16, 2003, 10:57

Well, it may happen that if I don't make it for a while, that I'll ask someone to make a PRAVDA for me. Here's the basic template (thinking in advance while he still has some time)

Code:


COMRADES!
WE GREET EACH DAY WITH THE TRUTH!

Lenin's Birthday Edition of the Russian Newspaper "Pravda" which means "The Truth"

Welcome comrades to this, the glorious nth special edition of PRAVDA - the offical newsletter of the Human Hive.....

.....All hail to the glorious Chairman Voltaire and the members of the Peoples' advisory council!

That previous image looks like a good ad for promoting Punishment Sphere. I am sure many would flock to be disciplined by Claire Forlani.

Googlie · June 17, 2003, 00:21

Isn't there an official Firaxis pic somewhere of citizens outside a nervestapling "clinic" anxiously listening to their loved ones scream - or am I imagining that (maybe an SP movie or a facility pic - not sure now .............

.................as the unbanned Googlie babbles on .....................

Vev · June 17, 2003, 00:27

Sorry, haven't got a clue what or where that picture is.

Frankychan · June 17, 2003, 01:39

I've never seen that one before. That sounds a littel morbid if you ask me...

For the record, the background is a screen capture from one of the movie on the SMAX CD you get for eliminating another player.

Tough to get too, as half the time I captured one of the darker frames because there's no pause, and the other half it caused a massive windows error and locked up my computer.

But I persevered.

And we're glad you did SU

Looking at it again, I see it's a very strange picture. I wonder how I came up with that idea.

Oh well, at least HongHu likes it.

Jamski · June 17, 2003, 06:27

I think it r0xx0rs

-Jam

Static Universe · June 17, 2003, 06:45

Thanks.

I'm starting to think I might be banned for uploading these pics, though.

I'm tempted to ask for claire-ification in the "Disappearing Poly members!" thread but don't want to draw attention to myself.

Snowflake · June 17, 2003, 10:38

A wise move, that is. (or non-move)

The color, the contrast, the wording ... all blend in so perfectly ... I thought for a minute that that was your masterpiece ... Wonder where that masterpiece is ... what could be in it ...

You are actually uploading them to Poly? Hmm, I just link to the picks at my Shaw Webspace.

Snowflake · June 17, 2003, 23:07

I have to change my comment that this is the second best. Only second to the original Forlani post that the Good Marshal posted.

Vev · June 17, 2003, 23:19

I like all of them

Octavian X · June 18, 2003, 00:51

I'll volunteer to put out the next issue of Pravda...

Vev · June 18, 2003, 01:14

The wonderful articles I could write.

Nah, not worth the pain from Tass.

I'm still working on it. Unfortunately, I don't have Photoshop installed on my computer and I lost my pirate disk of it as well.

I'm looking for another bootleg now and may have one soon.

My output will probably increase greatly as I am very good with Photoshop.

I'm using GIMP, which is a very good open source program, but doesn't have all the bells and whistles other programs have. And I'm using it on Win98SE, so it sometimes does weird things since it was meant for Linux. I'm still learning alot about GIMP.

That's mostly what's holding up the masterpiece, which is a very crazy idea. So crazy it has several spin-off ideas as well, which are even crazier.

The original is certainly the best and most original. Mine are just variations on that theme.

Well, I bit the bullet and PMed Markos, so if you don't hear from me for a while this is why.

Gnool · June 18, 2003, 08:30

what is claire-ification and what is the "disappearing Poly members" thread?
