Norkan Times
Norkan Times
Yup!
It's true, after 2 years it's back!
Where is it?
Well, on the main webpage, just click the News link and you are there!
http://www.kingdomofdrakkar.com/news.htm
It's a work in progress, so the page itself is going to be in constant change, but I simply can contain the secret no longer!
Also to let you guys know, this is to help with a roleplaying aspect of the game and also to keep in spirit with events that can happen in the game (but please remember that events will primarily take place in alt2, so keep that in mind when reading the Norkan Times).
If you are interested in submitting an article for the Norkan Times please make it 300 words or LESS. And remember most things posted in the NT will be for Alt2 (yeah another reason to hang out in Alt2).
Feel free to submit; news artiles, comics, or anything else related to a newspaper.
I cannot guarentee that your submission will get put up in any given update, and we may hang onto it for future use.
If you want to submit a comic strip, please be sure to keep it within the following pixels;
width 118 x height no more than 405
To submit something please send it via email to:
flisk@drakkarzone.com
Thanks and enjoy!

ROFL! This is awsome! I was gonna take it as a joke at first, but it seems Flisker is making an intriguing situation out of it.

Way Cool
Are players going to be able to submit articles ?
Will there be a comics section ? ( I would love the chance to try to come up with a Drakkarian comic strip and see it used ) :D

Absosmurfly I will accept articles! And comics! (just keep em clean and with the spirit of the game). However with that said, I cannot guarentee that every submission will be used, and some may be filed to be used at a later date.

Yes, I like this idea very much aswell! I especially liked the drakkar stock market little section. Very creative. Any idea of how often it will be updated?

sock market... hmmm...
I've not thought of that in the game yet...
As for how often it will be updated, so far, since the page has been active, the stock market has been updated once a day. Just keep in mind that that specific portion is meant to be fun and has no bearing on actual items in the game.

Is there any way to increase the width ? Perhaps have comics on a separate page along with personals ?Originally posted by flisk

Sent my 2nd comic submission but I am finding it very hard to stay within the size constraints.:sarc
Ragnoker_PHNX :D
Replying to Topic 'Norkan Times'
it really needs to stay within those constraints.
See the 2 "ads" there, one for Emit and one for Stans?
That is really the max size it sould be.

Guess if I don't want to stifle my comic attempts in the future then I may end up having peeps lean their heads sideways to see my comics correctly. :p

ROFL ! :p
Seems Flisk beat me to the "turning heads" thingy if you look at the latest update to the Norkan Times. :sarc
And since he did not add my last submission to the paper thought I might as well post a link to it here.
