I've come to the realization that I have to much to do in real life to keep up with this paper. So I'm going to attempt to give it away.
Give away a paper? How does that work?
Easy. I will give you the source image files that I use to make the paper (I currently use Photoshop 7). I will explain exactly the process I use to map this paper, and get it out relatively painlessly. I will help you get up to speed in how to report, how to research, how to publish, and how to understand the war module. For one week I will publish my paper after you publish you maps, and just include a link to your paper in order to transfer subscribers. I am even willing to report on an ongoing basis.
Wow! That's sounds like an easy Media Mogul
Yes, it does.
Still, that sounds like a lot of work
It is. However, it's very rewarding. There is a certain something to being a primary news source in game, to being one of the ones who really knows what's going on. I think that something is called 'awesomeness.' Still, you can make the task easier by doing what I did; get help. Most of the time I published this paper I had help. Anyone who has been reading a long time will know that one of my best reporters was the legendary Pangolin. Pangolin, and many others along the way, made getting this paper out on a daily basis easier than you might think. On an ongoing basis I would even be willing to help and report for you.
Do I have to be American?
Nope. I don't care what your nationality is or even what alliance you are from. This paper has always had an international presence, and has always had readers from other countries. I'd prefer that it stay in English, if nothing else so that I can continue to read it myself. 😃
Will it make me sexy and famous?
Absolutely
So, that's it then?
Yup. I'm not leaving the game, but as far as putting out a major paper every day, I think it's time I try and pass on the torch. I mapped World War III, the Scandinavian wars, and most of what has happened since then. I'm pooped.
Hopefully someone want to try their hands at being eRep's #1 cartographer, but if not it's been a good ride.
Just one more favor from my readers. Can you vote this up? One last time? 😃
Thanks,
Mainegreen.

Guys, my newspaper will most likely be the home of the newspaper.
Given that it will be operated by the two most recent staff of eRep in Maps, Allan D. and yours truly, Guolin.
I'll still be subscribed to you, even if you don't write articles! *cries*
Mainegreen,
Your eRep In Maps is a staple of the Allied Hotsheet.
I look forward to the continuance of quality war analysis in the format which you have mastered.
Best wishes in RL, and thanks for your contribution to eRep!

Sorry to have you go, this has been the most important paper out there since the war began some 3 or 4 months ago. You made everything 100% understandable. Goodluck with the real world.
Dude, thanks for all the hard work over the months! This paper was invaluable, especially for the newbs out there. I hope someone can fill your big shoes.
Creating these maps should almost be a paid, staff position since it's so valuable to the game experience. But more likely the developers will unsuccessfully try to replicate your work *cough* eGobba *cough*
Sad to see you go
Sad to see you go
Sorry to see you go... hope you find a suitable replacement. O7
I always wanted to be sexy and famous.
Hell, I'd settle for sexy OR famous!
Sorry to see you quit, Maingreen, a picture is worth a thousand words.
aaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
This makes me sad in the pants.
woa.... I knew this day would happen since the articles started failing to come daily 😛

Voted, and I'll miss you.
have you considered becoming a weekly paper
Mainegreen, you've done eRep a great awesome kickass service. I hope whoever gets the torch can keep up, they have huge freakin shoes to fill. 😃
Your impartial viewpoint along with descriptive visual display made even newbies understand the most delicate inner workings of the war module for quite some time. You need to be recognized for that.
