Sucker Free Sunday – Issue 41

[The Suckers Have Changed… Again]
The Goal:
  • Have the public post articles, hopefully on a regular basis.
  • Any topic is allowed… but keep it clean. Try to be tech-savvy, but
    if that’s not what you’re about, we really don’t care. Just remember,
    this isn’t an exclusive blog, it’s for the general public. Keep in mind
    that you will be writing for the masses. Do you want younger kids
    reading bad language?
What It Takes To Become an Underground Contributor or Author:
  1. Commitment. Unless you want to write only one or two articles, you
    probably want to be a normal blog writer. This means that the day you
    choose to write on is the day you must post. We shouldn’t have to chase
    you down for a post. You may be called out. (Oh the shame!)
  2. Language. We generally try to avoid copy/paste rips here, even if
    we do write our own intros and conclusions. Try to make your piece
    engaging and interesting. For example, if you are making a tutorial,
    post some pics.
  3. No excuses. If you fail to come up with an idea, don’t hope that
    Voltaire or Versatile1 will post for you. Contact us and we will help
    you. We have lots of ideas, we’ve been writing for over a year! If you
    can’t reach us, check out Digg, Fark, Reddit, ZeroPaid, and other
    social article sites. They generally have lots of new articles which
    can create ideas. Ask MusicMasteria why he left the blog (at the
    command of our viewers!)
  4. Hard work. Don’t slack off and post a horrid one-liner. ‘Nuff said. Just be good and post something decent.

Sucker Free Sunday – Issue 29

[The Suckers Have Changed]
Bah! Since there was mad turmoil on Issue 21, and after one complaint that the rules were worthless and not going anywhere, I have decided to change it up a bit. This time around, it is going to be shorter, sweeter, and much simpler.
The Goal:
  • To find new writers to take up a certain day of the week (yes, we can have multiple writers a day or overlap) to post dedicated, fresh content.
  • Topics you desire to write on can be anything, but please keep it clean and within the realm of sensibility. We have children, young adults, fathers, mothers, and the elderly visiting this blog. When in doubt, contact Versatile1.
What It Takes To Become an Underground Contributor or Author:
  1. The Underground accepts all forms of communication. You can wish to express yourself via video, writing, pictures, audio, or any combination of the methods mentioned above.
  2. You must be a dependable writer. This means that you are expected to write on the day that you wish to write on. If you know you can’t make it, please contact Versatile1 to make arrangements for article backups.
  3. You must be enthusiastic to write here on the blog. Please see it as an honor to partake in a blog that receives at least 2K views a day.
  4. If you are stuck for ideas, contact Versatile1 for suggestions. Apathy or excuses to not write is not acceptable. For a good example, ask MusicMasteria why he is one of the poorest writers on the blog.
Please note that long periods of inactivity will be noticed, and further discussions related to this activity shall be conducted off-line.

Later this week, I will have a post announcing Diablo 3!  OMG, the gameplay videos and screenshots are giving me a heart attack. Release date?  Late 2009 Blizzard says.  Starcraft 2 is probably going to be released around X-Mas this year.  Far Cry 2 is coming in fall.  OMG, great times to be a gamer.

Sucker Free Sunday – Issue 21

Welcome to the 21st issue of Sucker Free Sunday, where I talk about recruitment policies.  Please refer to issue 1 for the rules on recruitment, but for the lazy, I have recopied the rules below:Here are the rules:1) If selected, you are committed to write on the day you are assigned or chosen.

2) If you happen to miss your day, and Versatile1 covers for you, thats ok but you are given a strike. Three (3) strikes and you are off the team. One (1) strike will be removed every month you did not get a strike. No exceptions to the rule.

3) Topics you desire to write on can be anything, but please keep it clean. We have children, young adults, fathers, mothers, and the elderly visiting this blog.

4) You can of course post on any other day too if you so feel inclined, but make sure you post on your required day, or that is a strike. Make sure your post coincides with your calendar date. If it posts and shows up as the previous day, you posted too early and must delete it and re-post it on the next day.

To apply, post your request and desire in the Sucker Free Sunday issue, any issue. Thank you.

The first STD story was released earlier this week. I hope it was good, but I need more feedback. Future STD stories will be just as interesting, if not better. Thanks!
