Ideas for the ISF

Here are a few ideas I have for ISF projects:

Creation of an eIrish Writers Guild.

We could give out awards for good writing in the community, and archive helpful or entertaining articles, help to spread these articles and get them read and their papers subscribed.

Our awards would be given out based on a guild member nominating a community member's article (or even a relevant international article), and then the rest of the guild would vote on whether or not to give out an award/which award to give. We wouldn't just give them out to anything either so that the awards would mean something. We could also have an amateur writers award program where we would raise money and then give out a special award just for citizens under a certain level.

The award itself would be an image that would be added to the bottom of the article/articles. Another useful way to use the awards is to give them out especially for topics that don't get a lot of attention (example. finance right now). So you could say that there will be an award for the article in the finance section that gets the most votes from the guild (provided there's enough competition).

We could also extend this to give out awards for good recruitment videos, or competition etc.


ANOTHER IDEA

We should have a place on the ISF forum/agenda devoted to RL Irish culture and its place in our community.

Sounds like a good idea to me !

I was planning on launching a competition for article of the month. Winner gets 1000IEP.

I'd like to see this take place this or next month. I believe this would be a great idea to jumpstart the dying media module. We need a boost in media, no matter how strange or irrelevant!

I think its a good idea.

Now I'm just wondering what a good name for it would be. "eIrish Writers Guild" lol

Eire Aonair's Article Commitee?

The EAAC for short?

lol too tired to think.

I like the idea of "Article Committee" Darragh. One thing to consider is that we may want to keep EA out of the name in order to encourage input from all of the eIrish community. Similar to the ISF.

ISF Informative.

I thought up of an idea where an article is published say every two days, in this article all proposals congress faced are mentioned, all Irish battles are reported on, different articles in Ireland are linked and a small and simple interview/fact file is conducted on a member or the Irish population.

Thoughts?

Sounds like a great idea to me. Like a digest of information. Let me know how I can help out.

I'll help too if you need help

What sort of questions would you say we should use for a fact file?

I think good questions are those questions that bring interesting new questions to light and that challenge the person. You need some warm up questions like: Describe your beginnings in the game, or talk about a mentor, but also some more interesting stuff like, what are your views on the Military Unit Scene in Ireland, Do you feel politics is still relevant in Ireland and why or why not, What's keeping this game interesting for you, and do you see any kind of change in the future that will make Ireland's place in the eWorld change significantly, or do you believe we will be stuck in a very similar scenario indefinitely?
