Staff Page
« on: February 21, 2006, 10:04:27 AM »
Entropy has shown me the light of not updating the staff page in 3-4 years, and since Tage is the only one who can do so, I'm going to send him an HTML file with the new one.

So, if you're on the current page you are not guaranteed to be there unless you still write regularly enough for us (like two or so articles a year is good enough for staff writer I would think).

So here's the deal, post what Bio you want, if you're not sure if you're a staff writer then PM or E-mail me and I'll let you know.  If you want to be a staff writer but haven't written anything, then do so ASAP, it will be at least another 3 years before we update it again.

Here's the format:

Nickname: Spriggan
Real Name: Jordan Sanderson
What you write:
About yourself:
movies, Games, music currently listing, watching reading etc..
Link to sample article: this would be one that you really like.


If you are a staff member and are not a writer (ie editor, department manager, webmaser) SE and Fell will be handling what you position is so don't bother asking here if you are something because you should already know.

What you write: Gaming Chef, RPG reviews
About yourself:
Mad Dr. Jeffe is an evil scientist devoted to crushing the world under his Converse All Stars. He likes long walks on the beach, death rays and science fiction, preferably science fiction with a tinge of mad science. Dr Who is definatly a fave, as is the old Wild Wild West TV show.
Gamewise he likes more narrative and cerebral games like Maelstrom and Heroquest (by Issaries and not the boardgame). He is a member of TWG east. Oh and he likes pie.

Nickname: House of Mustard

Real Name: Robison Wells

What you write: Tabletop Reviews and The Fog of War (occasionally)

About yourself:  Rob has two published novels with Covenant Communications, On Second Thought and Wake Me When It's Over.  He graduated from the University of Utah with degrees in Political Science and History, emphasizing in International Relations.  Although he used to spend oodles of time with wargames (particularly Warhammer and 40k), having small children in the house has meant the fragile minatures rarely come out of storage; most of his gaming these days is on the computer.

I'm thinking we want a limit to how many "favorite" things we include. And that we should put them in as regular text, not a vertical list.

hehe, Zing.

Just so you all know I had no intention of listing favorites vertically.  As for the amount listed, I'll have to see what everything looks like before commenting, if me or any of the Editors feel there's too much we'll let people know.

Favorites should probably be limited to 2 or 3 things.

Yeah, because these pages can only be so big.

Come on, who cares how many favorites we have? Is the Internet going to run out of room? I admit, I didn't read either of the Gibbs' lists, but I scanned them and was vaguely interested.
