Editors’ Notes

As always, we would like to take this time to thank our readers that encourage us to keep this newspaper consistent, by PM, viewing regularly, and applying. We hope all our readers understand how hard we are working to bring cB News to createBlog. Even with school starting, a few of our team members gave extra effort to write more than one article required of them to bring you all this excellent third issue. Though we've pulled through in the past two publications together, this issue truly says a lot about our team work.

If you are interested in joining our news team, feel free to apply; we always welcome more help! If you enjoy journalism and want to become more involved in the createBlog community, please fill out an an application form; if you feel uncomfortable with your application open to the public, please PM your application to either Fae (uninspiredfae) or James (Marchhare2UrAlice). Please note that we are currently not looking for editors; other than that, we welcome all applicants!

If you would like to be featured in future issues, feel free to send us a letter to the editor; please PM the letter, no more than 250 words, to this account (cBNewsStaff). We will consider all for publication in a new "letters to the editor" section, and we reserve the right to edit for content and clarity. Your cB username will be included if your letter is chosen for publication, so be careful who you offend! In any case, please enjoy our third issue of the createBlog news!

August 2005

The First cB Debate Competition

Calling all debators:

The createBlog news staff has decided to hold a competition for the title of createBlog's top debator. If you think you've got what it takes to hold the title of champion, sign up now!

A topic will be presented to you upon being approved, and you will judged by four fellow debators: Justin (sadolakced acid), James (kryogenix), Fae (uninspiredfae), and Justin (CrackedRearView). Scoring will be based on your knowledge of facts, your reasoning skills, and your presententation of your argument; participants in the competition who exert lack of respect for the debate and other competitors disqualified.

Judges will pick a debate champion among the participants.. Every two months thereafter, participate in a debate to defend your champion status! Eventually, a surprise debate round among all former champions will declare who is cB's ULTIMATE debate champion!

Please PM Fae (uninspiredfae) or Justin (sadolakced acid) to sign up! The deadline for applicants is the end of August. Any and all applicants should be regular participants in the debate forum - cBn has all right to reject any prospective participants. The debate will be held on a separate forum, away from createBlog, which all applicants will be informed of after finalization of the competition.
