This is just plain ridiculous.
[color=#0000CD]Which thing exactly?[/color]

And the logic of "So we know who has done it" for posting it is stupid, but it's obvious that's the only way that half of you WILL work, which really says something about half the current cast, give or take.
[color=#0000CD]*Been done but doesn't even know if you are since YOU NEVER F*CKING MENTIONED IT.*[/color]

If not for the fact that people need a damn morale boost to do ANYTHING, ideally it's fine to PM because only the host of the week NEEDS to know what's done.
[color=#0000CD]This is just as much a democracy for the most part you know. I don't see why anything needs to be hidden from everybody who isn't hosting and why we don't find out somebody else has done anything in our group UNTIL THE DAY IT'S ACTUALLY POSTED. So at least saying, "Hey guys, I actually did _____ and PM'd it to our host" would be enough to get me to shut up about not knowing whether somebody did it or not. If you didn't notice there's a severe lack of communication going on. Lack of communication causes confusion. Confusion causes chaos. Chaos f*cks morale up the a** with a 2x4.[/color]

Such is why I highly recommended you as the next host; you're more organized and proactive.
[color=#0000CD]Again, that was already the plan.[/color]

I suggested Desperado that you should have every member host once and review their hosting abilities. Following, have the inferior hosts host as early as possible and if they do not improve, forbid their hosting capabilities.

The idea of working as a team is fine until a segment of the given team becomes detrimental. An interesting analogy pertaining to this is amputation; a part shows you when it is losing blood circulation and if nothing is done to mend the blocked appendage, it becomes painful and must be amputated.
[color=#0000CD]True. Though a part of the body is actually there and not missing 90% of the time so a bit hard to do anything about it.[/color]

The fact that I only trust you/Opal/sorta Aggro to get anything done, Dharc and Mako aside because they actually voice if they have issues, before last minute, out of the main cast.

I said I sent mine in a long while ago =/

It's hidden from the public. Why does it need to be public in the first place until its posted? I mean, aren't we reading the weekly when it's posted? And the host doesn't show their work beforeheand. The lack of communication is from the same problem members of past weeks, everyone else seemed to be fine.

We need a better cast that's going to tell us what's up, when they can't make it, and actually do the work before last second. Some people either just don't have the time, the sense of responsibility, or whatever needed to keep this to a weekly release, which it should be anyways.

We should have a main cast and a side/extra cast that may/may not contribute in a week, unforseen circumstances barred for the main cast. Not people who disappear for however long and pop up late or people that don't get what they're supposed to done in time for whatever reason.

tl;dr we need to start hiring again.

[color="#0000cd"]In quote stuff:[/color]
[color="#0000cd"]1) Yeah, that's true.[/color]
[color="#0000cd"]2) I figured but I was never all that sure since I don't recall you ever having mentioned doing it.[/color]
[color="#0000cd"]3) Well...I skim through it. Don't really need to when I don't care all that much for what you guys write or I already did read it in the thread. No offense. Just not the kind of topics I care much for. But I still like to know you guys at least did it so I'm not b*tching about it.[/color]

[color=#0000CD]I believe we were going to do that already after this issue. That's partly why we have Alice here.[/color]

Name: Hideki Hinata (call me Creator)
What are you good at/sections you frequent: Well I'm generally in the General section with forays into CC and I'm a RPer on the side (well side here, I RP a lot). As for what I'm good at, I game, read and I am capable of listening to music. I have Audacity so I could record some funny antics if required. I'm also a minor video editor, nothing fancy though.
Why should we pick you?: Well, I guess you could say that I'm capable of getting things in on time. I put a lot of effort into things I work on, so long as I'm not working on them against my will. Also, I'm funny and someone needs to counteract all the bad mojo on YCM.
Activity: Well I'm usually on everyday, weekends I tend to be on less since I'm gaming and I get on late on Thursdays due to Marine obligations. Aside from that, I let people know when I'm leaving or will be losing contact when I know about it. If I suddenly leave, it's probably because I'm sleeping or lost power.
Timezone: CST (-6:00 GMT)

I was on GameFAQs (I've been posting for five years) and found this hilarious fan fic in a topic. Black suggested I suggest it here.

http://m.fanfiction.net/s/5711311/1/

In addition to everything else, it'd be fun if we could post one chapter per issue or something. I'd be willing to and I don't think the author even knows his rights in terms of being an author.

Just read the entire story and then the comments.

I just read that, and WOOOW.

That was hilarious. However, due to the short chapters, posting one per issue might be too little. After all, I read through the entire thing in about 20 minutes.

How about we just post the entire thing, and then the sequel next issue?

...Speaking of, I'm going to go read the sequel right now.

I think we could get ANYTHING in here. So it'd be very much possible.
[/quote]Not ANYTHING. We're not whores here... *checks* Yup, Jax isn't here.

[color=#0000CD]Could you guys even contact said author of this masterpiece Alice has found and get his permission? Quite frankly, it just seems like a better idea to make our own choose your own adventure story with short chapters ending with a decision that could be voted on by the readers instead of just posting something taken from some random guy whilst being readable ahead of time.[/color]

Ummm...do I work here now or, am I still waiting?

Because I have a few ideas we could do.

[color=#0000CD]I have no problem with your admittance.[/color]

If nobody has a problem with it, could I post my ZEXAL rewrite in the next issue, whenever that may occur? Just for a little publicity, is all. Plus, it fleshes out the show. But I understand if you guys think it's dumb.
[/quote]We could advertise for it by taking an excerpt. I think that'd be fine.

[color=#0000CD]So we're going to start doing adverisements? Meh, sure. We can use this. Post something like "If you want your advertisment on YCM Weekly then send a PM to _____ with a small piece made by you for it. If you're lucky you may possibly get a section on YCM Weekly giving whatever stupid sh*t you're doing free publicity. Yayz!"[/color]
