I was thinking we as a union could probably make a monthly newspaper about union's, and how the union is going. It would include the top 25 union views, a unique union of the month, with perhaps an interview of it's leader, the top highlight of the month, union news and nomination threads, and a highlighted member of the month. Any more ideas would be great if you could contribute them.

I rather not be an officer, I love being a recruit and I just sent an application to join the union since I don't have an admin tab.

oh ok, it's good to have some active recruits then.

Edit: You need to resign from another union to join this one, as you cannot be part of this one until you do.

I will get to work on this well, at the end of the month. So far I'll include union views, union news, unique union of the month and it's interview, but I don't think I'll include the member of the month thing. Maybe theeman's recruiting guide, and ThumbsUpMaster's guide. I will need help with the unique union, first I need to know of the union, and since they know the union better than I, I think the person who recommends me the union should write about it.

either the union itself is entirely original, or the features in it are far more original than most.

Someone could make a guide to getting active members, and post it for the newspaper if they'd like.

What type of design competitions? Graphics? Story ideas? I could almost be in charge of that one: wherever there is not a competition going, I normally start one up! :D

no I think he meant for the newspaper, where design competitions are being held, so many can enter them. That would be an interesting feature, or how about just notable competitions in general?

I don't think it is going to take much effort to include all the active design competitions. We can add more text to the more important ones (the ones that get response from that union's leader) and everything else can just be a link.

Yeah I was thinking we could have a graphics section, we could call it "The Gallery" perhaps. I could help out if we decide to do that cause I lead a designing union.

btw, are we gonna decide on a name for the newspaper?

Well, if you guys agree, I'll go with the Union Edition or Union Ledger. The planned features are Monthly Union News( just random interesting things about unions that you guys can submit), unique union of the month, top union highlight, top 25 union views, and perhaps an editorial about unions, and then maybe something about unions version 2. So, is there any more features you feel should be included or is this a well-rounded list?

I have an idea for a few features.

  • Union member trading scheme - Basically where unions who want to affiliate themselves with others and maybe even share members for exposure (if they don't directly compete with eachother) can let others know to contact them if they feel the same way. (example: The Overclocking & PC Tweaking union + The Official Fear union = shared contributions and recruits)

  • Union graphics contest - Every now and then a vote takes place on which union has the best looking digital art - banner, tag, screens, etc. and a winner is announced in this section.

  • Union Tips & Tricks - A regular section with some advanced pointers on how to do different things in the union that most people may not know. (example: How to put buttons in your description area)

  • Union vs. union tournaments - Just the same as Gamespot has game nights and tournaments between players, some union teams can get together in certain multiplayer games and verse eachother to get into the overall rankings ladder. (example: Star Wars Battlefront - The Headcrab union *Galactic Empire* vs. The System Wars union *Rebel Alliance*)

  • Union leader swap - This is a crazy but fun idea for a game based on some reality TV shows like Wife Swap. What happens is two union leaders agree to trade places and join the opposite person's union as an officer and basically takes over as leader for a short while, seeing if they can do just as good of a job and even improve things.

well, if someone could find some random news around some of the top unions on gamespot, that you find interesting, that would be cool. We'll also need someone to write an editorial on unions.

I'll do my best. Maybe we could distribute it through the unions on GS?
