Maybe *I* misunderstood. But digging through the archives, we also have Commandoes III, Silent Storm, and at least one Axis and Allies review. We could conceivably do TWO "archive" articles each day, and we only need 3 confirmed articles more to do 2 new articles each day. HoM, if I give you till next Friday, can you promise me the essay you mentioned "if you have time"?
I can break the Attack! and Attack! Expansion into two reviews, that means I only need one more article to run 4 articles every day next week. Come on, someone cough it up.

For example, the GURPS WWII review we have is GURPS WWII "Lite" someone want to do an additional one for the full version? Someone want to spend money on Axis & Allies D-Day and review it? It's a long weekend, after all.

Which brings us to the last possibility. I'm certain I can get at least 18 articles, 8 of them new. Do we want to run stuff on Monday (a holiday here in the US) or just Tues-Fri? I think it'd be good to do it on Monday, since it is, after all, "Memorial Day."

GURPs WW2 only includes GURPs lite. It doesnt have the full gurps rules. So they can't do a review of it...

[House of Mustard]

Yes, I can guarantee the editorial.  And I think that, if possible, Jeffe's photo essay ought to be on Monday.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

oh.

Well, I decided anyway. I was talking to my coworkers, trying to decide on a flick to review. And so I asked for the "Best" and I still got a string of 20 some movies off the top of their heads. The Great Escape, Guns of Navaronne, Patton, Saving Private Ryan, etc.
So...

I'm resurrecting Staff Picks.

Best WWII movie. Need responses by Thursday, no later. 50 words per movie, no more than three movies.


This does not preclude submitting more articles for next week. THe more the merrier, but we're going to do a staff picks.

[House of Mustard]

What do you bet Pearl Harbor won't make anyone's list?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

yeah, I was talking with the guy in his 50s who loves movies about it, and one of the girls chimes in with Pearl Harbor. So we spent several moments mocking her.

No SE you're right it's supposed to be a day only.  However, I have no problem extending it to a week if we have the contenet.  The reason I went with theme days over theme weeks is that it's less stress on all of us to get done.  It's ok to link to old artilces, but there should never be just links to old articles for a day there allwayse should be new stuff for each day.  also if we can get 2 new articles for as many of those days as possible is a plus.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

well, that's what I'm planning. I want two new each day. I know I have old articles enough, and I have enough to do at least one new a day, I just want to try and have two new ones a day. The Staff Picks article should allow that.

[Spriggan]

I got that from your post at the top of this page, I was just talking in general.  Guess I should have actualy said that though.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

ok, day 1 is up.

Just a reminder, that HoM promised me two mroe articles, I'll need one of them no later than Wednesday, and the other no later than Thursday night.

Please email me your Staff picks choices asap.

Also, if you were still planning on submitting something else, there's still time.

Fell asked me about a month ago if I could copyedit the articles, and now seems like a good time to offer my services. Jeffe's article has several typos and grammatical errors (mainly punctuation) that I'd like to help out with correcting. How should I go about doing that? I could just copy it into word, make the corrections in red or highlight them, and email them to you, Saint. Would that work?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

oo yeah, my bad. I didn't really edit it very much when I was doing the others, and this morning I just formatted. So yeah, I'd REALLY like those corrections. Please email them to me. As for the best way... uhm... I'm not sure. i guess copy to word and then correct. Didn't Fell make you a Mod on the site? If you are a mod, there should be a link named "Edit' at the bottom, and you can just change it by doing that. Let me know.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

yeah sorry its a little sloppy, It was a tough week and I kind of cobbled it together at the last moment.

[stacer]

No link for edit. I'll email to you. Half done already.

[stacer]

Argh. Gotta run to a movie now. Will finish it as soon as possible after I get back (about 2 this afternoon).
