REPORTERS

The very first job that Medievians can hold is that of a Medievia
MudSlinger Reporter.  Reporters are players who volunteer to write about
happenings within the realm of Medievia for the MudSlinger Newspaper. They
are players with good writing and grammatical skills who are willing to
periodically write about their daily experiences and adventures. Reporters
may write about such things as serpents, ship battles, dragon lairs, pk
adventures, traderuns with mobfactions, interviews with players/gods,
helpful articles/tips, news items, fiction, poetry, etc.  Reporters may
also be asked to cover certain specific features or events, such as
elections.

Reporters have a (Reporter) tag on their name so everyone knows who they
are. When you see a Reporter on your ship, in your lair, or on any
adventure, you will know that they may write a short story about the
adventure for all to read. There will be an area so everyone can see every
Reporter's work list for the past year so we all know who is working, who
is not, who is the best, and who needs to be replaced. This will be
competition and keeping your Reporter job will require you to be better at
it than others as we will always be trying to replace our worst Reporter
with someone who will try to do better, just like a real newspaper.

For the most part we want Reporters to simply write about the adventures
they witness that take place within the game world. These should be short
factual fast reads with flare, flavor, and emotion. The type of articles
Reporters provide is their personal decision, but Reporters must agree to
write 2-3 quality articles per month to continue holding the position.
Reporters can earn up to 5 donation tokens for each submission.  In
addition, MudSlinger Reporters will receive a medal and the coveted
MudSlinger Press Quill.

Only apply if you are a very active player and often find yourself knee
deep in many of the most talked-about adventures. Do not apply if you are
not a high level. Do not apply if you will never enter CPK Do not apply
unless, as a player, you are known to be brave enough to be on the front
lines all of all types of adventures.
