 		[UPDATE] Sentinel - Aug 17 - Publisher Fired
Quote:

Sentinel Publisher Summarily Dismissed
By WILHELMINA BEST

Sentinel publisher Lauren Grove was sacked late Monday afternoon following a morning meeting of the board of parent company CJM Holdings. The move is apparently over Grove's dismissal of former advertising manager Ryan Klein, who was himself sacked in mid-June after the paper's management learned that he is a member of the Reconstructionist Cubist cult.

CJM board member Uther Borland said that the decision had become inevitable. "Grove had opened the paper to an unacceptable degree of liability. ... But even beyond that, her performance in guiding the paper in fresh and innovative directions has been stone-poor." He indicated that the paper would be undergoing some significant restructuring on the board's direction in the coming weeks and months.

Morale among the staff appears to have risen following the news. Current acting advertising manager Tanika Rogers said that she would gladly step down to her previous position in order to allow Klein to return. "The important thing is that justice is done here," she said.

Editor-in-chief Michiko Clark will be acting publisher of the paper until a replacement can be found, though she said she "would prefer not to stay on the spot for terribly long." She said that she has already been briefed by the CJM Holdings directorate, and that she will likely announce some significant changes to the paper under their auspices in the coming week.

It is expected that Klein will be reinstated in his position sometime this week, provided he accepts the Sentinel's fresh employment offer. Klein himself told the Sentinel that he is "surprised and relieved" that his ordeal is nearly over, and added that he is "eagerly looking forward" to receiving a letter of intent from the paper.

Grove was escorted from the premises immediately following her meeting with the directorate of CJM Holdings, and could not be reached for comment.

 		SPEC - sometimes right, occasionally wrong :)
Scott:

Here is my spec on the games. I posted this somewhere once before, but I think it has been buried.

I think that when we have our leaderboard accessible we will be able to play as if we are competing as part of the games. Not sure how it will work - but what a great oppurtunity for immersion! Leaderboards for us and for them. Prizes for us and for them. etc.

So I think that we are not hearing about the games because of the relationship between the PPC puzzle solving contest/leaderboard and the earth based puzzle solving contest/leaderboard.

 		Okay now i'm confused - a very easy thing.

What I am trying to figure out is that whether this is all a plan of the secret organisation. Firstly they have to put a stop to the investigation of Holyoke - the police no problems as the chief (guessing here) or whoever knows the secret handshake/wink/dance so he will cover it his/her end. The problem is the newspaper - bunch of crusaders - taken care of Salk but still need to get rid of anything relating to the crime etc.

Therefore their stooge sacks the Recon editor (either very convienient us finding this out or we were set up to find that and I sure don't want to go down that avenue yet). Now with all the information gone they cook up another sacking to bring back the Recon but now the information is gone.

Yes I know it makes no sense either and has holes the size of my overdraft limit. Am I making any sense? Or am I so barking up the wrong tree I can see my house through the leaves?

 		It is a bit of a mystery. However, perhaps it will lead to the paper becoming more available in our world? They state the Sentinel will make some changes so perhaps this is one of them?
(Personally, I don't see what the fuss is all about with the advertising job. From what we can see the adverts included before the sacking of Klein were exactly the same as the adverts afterwards? It hardly seems a taxing job! Very Happy )
