Regional Update, Summer 2020 - Lauchenoiria - 07-12-2020
Hi there everyone. Xiomera and I discussed trying to get out a regional update this year and so I've started this thread to work on it. This will be a newspaper-style update that will be distributed to other regions.
Unfortunately, last year's attempt didn't end up happening, but I'm very grateful to [nation]Laeral[/nation] for the effort and to everyone who contributed articles to that, particularly [nation]United New England[/nation] who I know did a lot of work on it.
I'm inclined to stick to Laeral's suggestion of quarterly updates, but in order to make things more manageable, perhaps less articles overall than were proposed in the previous iteration of this thread.
Proposed Schedule
January: Winter
April: Spring
July: Summer
October: Autumn
I am of the opinion that we should have as many articles as people are willing to write, and as such I'd like to invite people to post topics they'd like to write about and we will see if we can include it in this update.
Article suggestions (other ideas welcome, not all of these need to be written) - credit to Laeral for many of these suggestions
- Article on Artists of Progress RP
- Article on news threads
- Article about an IDU wiki page
- Article on delegate elections
- Interview with a regional officer
- Interview with a roleplayer
If you're interested in writing an article for this update, please reply in this thread with the topic you'd like to write on. Ideally, we will have all articles written by the 30th July so the update can go out on the last day of this month.
Happy writing!

I'm hoping to make a couple articles, maybe an interview with both the old and new delegate, as well as one on the Newswire.
Re: Regional Update, Summer 2020 - Libertas Omnium Maximus - 07-15-2020
Just let me know what you need and I am happy to get it done.
Re: Regional Update, Summer 2020 - Xiomera - 07-15-2020
I am happy to write something up (or work with someone to write something up) about AoP and the delegate elections, as well as the new cabinet and what we have planned. Maybe we can add something about the IDUFC as well.
Re: Regional Update, Summer 2020 - Lauchenoiria - 07-18-2020
IDUFC sounds like a good idea! LOM, if you want to contribute you could either do the IDUFC article, or perhaps an interview, or an article about the wiki? Let me know which you prefer.
Xiomera, that sounds like a lot of articles but if you're willing to do so, that's great!
Eiria, also looking forward to reading what you write!
Everyone: it is probably prudent to start asap so we can finish by the end of the month, if that's ok? Particularly if you're doing an interview with someone in a radically different time zone, those can take a full week if the amount of hours both people are awake for is low.
Re: Regional Update, Summer 2020 - Legionas - 07-20-2020
I'd be happy to do an interview, or write an article. Whichever really is preferable.
Re: Regional Update, Summer 2020 - United New England - 07-21-2020
I would be willing to interview a regional officer.
Re: Regional Update, Summer 2020 - Libertas Omnium Maximus - 07-21-2020
I'd be happy to tackle the IDUFC article. I'll get it to you by the 30th, per your request.
Re: Regional Update, Summer 2020 - Lauchenoiria - 07-21-2020
So far we have:
Interview with old and new delegates - Eiria
Newswire article - Eiria
AoP RP - Xiomera
Delegate election - Xiomera
New cabinet and what they're planning - Xiomera
IDUFC - LOM
Regional officer interview - UNE
Something - Legionas
Article about the wiki - Lauchenoiria
Legionas, we've already a couple interviews, perhaps an article?
Re: Regional Update, Summer 2020 - Laeral - 07-21-2020
I can take on any article that people run out of time on or need completed.
Re: Regional Update, Summer 2020 - Legionas - 07-21-2020
[nation]Lauchenoiria[/nation], I think I could probably do an article.
Re: Regional Update, Summer 2020 - Trive - 07-22-2020
With the creation of the AFFIDU, I would love to write articles focused on the IDU's sports - since LOM took the IDUFC role, I could probably put in a few articles on the planning of our continental club competitions, for example.
Re: Regional Update, Summer 2020 - Lauchenoiria - 07-22-2020
Legionas, Trive, great to hear!
Eiria and Xiomera, both of you have signed up to write multiple things, which is great of course. I'm just wondering if you are both sure you will have sufficient time to devote to all those articles, given that Laeral and Legionas are both willing to write some things and don't have topics. I will message you about this on discord when it is a more reasonable time in the US in case you don't see this.
If you all could send me something by the 30th that would be much appreciated. Preferably between 100-500 words, most formats are acceptable. You can send them to me via discord or TG. If you have any further questions feel free to ask!
