EMC Times Issue 1 (12th August AEST) Introduction It’s been a big week for EMC as always and there’s been a lot of news. My name is joshyrocks13 and I am the brand new founder of the EMC Times, the latest and greatest newspaper of EMC, this is the first issue of EMC Times and it will serve as an introduction to what is to come. What I'll be covering I will be covering quite a few topics every one – two weeks. I will be reporting on; Empire News, Empire Events, all public member events, financial advice from myself, the biggest auctions of the week, I’m really keen on having a special interview section where I’ll tell you guys who I’ll be interviewing and you can send in questions for me to ask, I’ll also have an advertising section where you guys can advertise your new shops or services for a small price and finally I’ll have a Q&A section where you guys can send me some questions!

Seems really cool, but... That sentence is really bothering me. Maybe separate it instead if having one huge run on sentence. The financial advice is really smart although I don't plan on leaving any time soon.
Ya, this is awesome! Good way to catch up on stuff if you have not been living in the forums...(not that there is anything wrong with that... is there?)
Great Idea! I'll find an artist and get started on that ASAP! I'd be happy to advertise/report your work, just send me a private message with some information and I'll advertise/report on it!
What a great read!! And thankyou so much for the Ad joshyrocks13! Great Job cant wait for the next one!! ClareMuss
