Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to make a phone call to the Boss and get out of jail, buy a minigun and a tank and try to run over some journalists who started to defame me.
Goodbye.

My name is Tess Ardent btw

[Solic]

No, I wasn’t. Although I usually use them to add additional stuff and not alter what was said. It’s just a convenience for letting my thoughts flow. In ways it’s more pure than not doing that.

[KyoDaz]

I add a sentence or two on, but I never edit out.

[DatBird]

Polpo is that you?

Forgery

As you all know, my last article was, well, unexpected. I would officially like to say that my article was infact forged. I would like to know for sure who it was before pointing any fingers, but as of now, all the evidence points to no one other than Tess Ardent. She has been suspected of being a greedy journalist who made a fake report for profit and she also forged a paper, which infact is illegal. As of right now, be wary of Tess Ardent. As for the serial killer, our best detectives are on it so have no fear.

Journalist Tess Ardent may be in trouble, Police gain ground on the murderer investigation.

Tess Ardent, a journalist who recently published a fraudulent report on the Westshire hotel murder is being convicted of 4 attempts of 1st degree murder. Just today she rammed her Camaro into a bar with the intent to kill 3 detectives and journalist Nicholas Cain, Me. She committed this ravage assault after detectives denied her information on the murderer case.
Me being an eye witness and a victim of the attack I confirm this, however since most evidence was destroyed in the assault Tess Ardent will most likely be pardoned from court.
Additionally she published a report claiming everything Cain said to be fake, this has been disproven by the police and she has already been spoken to by authorities. There are security tapes proving Tess Ardent’s fraudulent intentions and Cain will be trying to get permission to share them. Cain can however share some of the discussion that went down between Tess and a police officer. For obvious reasons the identity of the detective cannot be revealed.

Tess’s discussion with one of the detective’s
Tess Ardent: “EXCUSE ME! EXCUSE ME! This is TessA. I need a statement on the recent murders.”

Detective: “Oh brother. I thought I already went over this. Look at the statement in the paper [written by Journalist Cain]. There have been 15 murders. The case is very fresh. We have our best detectives on the case. The best thing the public can do to help us catch this killer is stay calm and report anything suspicious to us.”

Tess Ardent: “And what is your name?”

Detective: “I’m detective [REDACTED], But right now I feel less like a detective and more like a PR manager.”

Tess Ardent: “Right, so you have 15 people on the case and fully support my article and agree that the previous one was forged? Lovely. We’ll use that as a statement.”

Tess Ardent: ““Promotion here I come!”
End of discussion
Tess proceeded to speed off to the Bureau to write her fake report, there is also speculation that she forged Luke Cross’s second report to further enrich herself.
Tess Ardent is a greedy journalist who’s only goal is to become famous and rich, even if that means lying the public. We simply ask that you all remain wary of Tess Ardent until the police release an official statement on her actions.

Police make decent progress on the Westshire hotel murder.
After some debating it has been decided that this murderer will be nick named the Mastakiller . Police have uncovered more evidence and are cracking down on the list of possible suspects. The speculation of the murderer being a police officer has been debunked, it is revealed that 16 people were staying at the hotel and none of them were police officers. Additionally there were no finger prints on any of the bodies, there is no way a police officer could’ve pulled off such a carefully placed out crime without booking in beforehand. This new evidence, combined with classified evidence that only the detectives may hold have given them an edge in the case. Although it isn’t time to celebrate yet, the best detectives are on the case and they assure us that the case will be solved. More information will be revealed soon.

These are too hilarious

My opinion is and always will be that no player should ever be scared of missing the cutoff to quickedit and receiving a system-recorded edit instead (which seems to be the general thought around here and has been for a long while), because it’s unequivocal fact that quickedits are a much greater integrity breach than system-recorded edits in all cases, and always will be.

[KyoDaz]

Then I’d enforce that rather than following Luxy’s ideology.
If people complain then they’ll complain, and you may decide to change your thoughts.

[anon97870008]

System-recorded edits are always really bad. Don’t do it.
And yeah, I sometimes quickadd a line on the end as well, if noone else wrote yet.

[Solic]

I’ve never been worried about that.

If that happens, although I usually almost always add within 30 seconds or so, I just ping host immediately and check in.

[Maxwell]

Whatever the official stance from leadership is on this, it must be better defined IMO.

[DatBird]

@Maxwell

Yes when done like the paragraph adding. But a typo is a typo

[Maxwell]

The point is i’ll never be able to know for certain if a typo quickedit really is just a typo quickedit unless I see it myself, and that matters a lot to me

[Maxwell]

So I guess if I saw it personally I might not care as much. Idk

[Solic]

Ultimately hosts still gotta host. You can’t have everything spelled out for you, because there will come situations where you need to use judgement.

[Maxwell]

But then if I don’t see it it’s not punishable

[Maxwell]

Lol. Did I just personally lean myself to the opposite of my original leanings

[anon97870008]

Yeah, hosts are a little bit like Judges. On one side you have the rules… but you are the person to interpret and enforce them.

[Maxwell]

Judgement is better suited for things which aren’t right or possible to define for every case.
It is possible for the edit policy to be clearly defined but it just isn’t. That’s the difference.

[Maxwell]

When something is explicitly omitted such as to make it a grey area forever when it doesn’t have to be, that’s something I’ll never agree with
