Welcome...

Vice City Explorer is a project, based in VC:MP, which collates recent happenings, events and general activities - both roleplay (in the server) and otherwise. Currently, it works on a monthly basis, and is aimed as a community project for the whole of Argonath to benefit from.

Feel free to take a look around this topic, which should provide all the details, and further information. VCE also has its own site/forum which is accessible for guests and staff alike. You can use the navigation buttons above, or alternatively click on one of the links around this topic to explore.

Hope you enjoy having a look, and any support is much appreciated.

- 6th June 2011: All issues are now up to date, and fully available.

All the VCE 2011 issues are now here and can be viewed as wished!
Do make sure you subscribe to keep up with the latest - you can make use of the subscription offer, which can be found on page 4.

Enjoy. : )


- 25th April 2011: The Vice City Explorer is released officially on Argonath!

Welcome. : )
Feel free to take a look around, and all comments are welcome. Due to general Argonath RPG maintenance, the site/forum will be down for a bit until everything is fully in place, and certain links to the site have been removed/will not work. During this time, applications to join the team will be closed (apart from those that had previously been accepted).

Also, the issues for January, February and March are now more or less ready to be published and shall be put on this topic shortly.

Joining the Team

At the moment, there's no limit to the number of people that can join officially.
You can apply for one of the roles here [Link removed temporarily].

- What's in it for me?
This would be a great way for you to make an individual mark on the Argonath community, and you would gain recognition through your work/contributions. In years to come, old versions of the VCE may be looked at and would be significant history of Argonath - you can rightfully claim to have been an important part of it. This should also expand your own experience here, and in the server. It might even show you some new directions in which you can take your game.
As this is not government supported/funded currently, there is no set pay scheme. However, employees will receive payments/rewards as an 'extra' for their work!

And what's more, this project would not be possible without active team members. ; )


(http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/3406/33547263.png)

This is mostly a community based project, so the content published will come from many different sources.
Even if you are not part of the team (though it is highly recommended), you can submit articles, pictures, ideas or anything that would be suitable for an upcoming issue.

There are no obligations as such to this, as long as you stick within the Argonath rules and the content is appropriate. You will be credited directly for any work, and there may even be an in-game cash payment involved!

Submit content here: [Link removed temporarily]


(http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/6813/73208900.png)
 
There's no better way to keep up with the latest VC:MP news than subscribing!
You can leave an e-mail, or a particular forum board/topic/thread that you would like us to leave each issue of the Vice City Explorer upon release. This is a completely flexible service, and you may add more than one area for us to leave a copy in your subscription.
There is a one time administration cost of AR $15, 000 per subscription, which covers all future VCE releases. 


(http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/8484/picture11s.png)


(http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/2603/27561064.png)

Groups (or individuals) are welcome to partner with the Vice City Explorer, simply by leaving their details here.
Partners will receive possible exclusives, and additional benefits such as reserved areas within VCE issues.

This would also be a great form of advertising, whether you are a group, clan, family or just going solo, and have something to say to the world. For the most part, advertising is free and content will be optimised to go into future publications.
Please leave any adverts or general items that you would like displayed here: [Link coming soon].

While there are no costs, donations will be particularly welcome!
Especially as this is a free service, rather than a business, all donations will go towards this project.

Thanks v. much, guys. ;)

While I carry on with the stuff, here's a quick topic I made on a general forum board: http://www.argonathrpg.eu/forum/index.php?topic=69314.0 (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/forum/index.php?topic=69314.0) which is not VC:MP specific, to spread a bit of awareness.

Let's spam keep that up there so that this is not just something limited to VC:MP. :D

Thank you, Black & Samina - it would be really interesting to see who all would be up for this project.
It really isn't a one man job (providing we want to keep it active). : )

There will most likely be positions both directly in the server, and even for those that may not be full time VC:MPers.

I've been working on a few publication methods in the last few days, and getting things into place.
Here's a 'taster' of what's to come, and the very first issue!!

You can open by clicking on it - tell me what you guys think. :D
(Those that have already subscribed would have received this in the area of their chosing).

(http://img861.imageshack.us/img861/9742/93675669.png) (http://issuu.com/vcexplorer/docs/jan11)
As for recruitment - still waiting on the Argonath owners.
Let's hope it all gets settled very soon. : )

Kind of looks more like a magazine than a newspaper ATM. I like it though ;p

Yea, it's a mixture in a way.
When I was editing things sometime back, I found that basing it just as a newspaper made it fairly empty and was quite restrictive.
Having it like this seems to be a lot more flexible, and should allow all sorts of things to go in there. ;)

---

P.S. I think some guys were updating/re-making the clans & groups HQ map. I still had the stuff I was initially going to do, so have added it to the first issue after a few updates. If you were still working on it, feel free to use.

Ohh sorry.
In the last few days, all Argonath domains have been down (except main Argonath and ARPD), so been trying to get hold of things in relation to general domains and sub-domains.

I could give the test site's details but chances are when we transfer databases, there's going to be a little bit of disruption.

With the beginning of June, I am happy to release all the articles up until this point (February - May), after countless edits, changes, reviews and test publications.
While the January issue worked a little like an initial base, this is aimed to be quite diverse and you should find a wide range of different VC:MP related things.
I have also included areas regarding VC:MP events, businesses/services, and even clans and groups to pull in a bit of support from the community as a whole for those specific areas.

See what you think, and feel free to drop the comments here. Subscribers should already find this in their area of choosing. 
To view an article, just click on the image below (or alternatively right click on the image, and choose to open a new tab/window).
The link should take you to the publication area, and you can flick through the pages. I would suggest viewing it on full screen for the best quality results.

(http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/8484/picture11s.png)

The next 3 people to subscribe will receive free subscriptions to all future releases of VCE!
You can post a forum topic/external forum/e-mail or whatever that you'd like me to drop each edition.

Similarly, the first few early subscribers have already had their subscriptions made free.

@ Storm: Very nice, damn, I should I have just posted that up, hehe.


See you all. :)

June issue's being edited and should be here before too long. We've had some 'interesting' things going on in Argonath, I think.
On that note, one section of it which has been reserved is an interview with our very own server Manager, Klaus. If you have any suitable questions that you'd like to ask, post them here or send me a PM.

Also, a front cover for June is being designed - if you have anything extra awesome to go on it (or even a cover as a whole) feel free to submit.
Adverts/banners are completely free of charge this month - send them in and I'll try and find a good place. :)

It is highly likely that full staff recruitment will begin this month (July). A few things to confirm in relation to that:

- The full and official web area for VCE will be open.
- The recruitment process is not overly complicated, allowing a wide range of people to take part.
- Members of past projects like VCN are welcome to apply, though this is not linked in any way to older companies.
- There is a definite pay scheme for staff - although that would be dependent on contributions!

Watch this space.

I'd like to think of a few questions to ask. :D

The questions will be getting finalised quite soon. :)

The application process (which is not the same as the old one) would be very quick, so provided that you are active and a decent player you shouldn't have many troubles.

Questions:
1. What were you playing before VCMP, if so were you an admin or moderator or anything of that kind?
2. When was the first time you played on role play server and which game was it?
3. Do you have any future plans for your gang/group/clan (EAF) and how long do you think EAF will be established?
4. How long will you stay on Argonath? (Asking this because of future real life situations like job, wife, kids, school/college, band and all other stuff that require more attention than your career on Argonath RPG)

You got that forum Legend, but it seems I was the only one writing articles. Invite some other people to write some stuff! :D

NEWSFLASH: Today the popular Hotel 'The Ducum Inn' located in Vice Point was shut down by investigators this evening as a extraordinary event took place on its premises earlier today. Unknown to the hundreds of civilians staying at the hotel, a criminal that the police force had been chasing for a while was tracked down and stationary on the roof of the hotel. As an attack helicopter circulated the area, armed police surrounded the hotel on the ground. The suspect was ultimatley terminated by a police sharp shooter after the criminal showed no interest of surrendering.

100 posts, oooh a century!

I am adding some final touches to this half of the year's editions. The presentation looks pretty bland right now (the work scattered across documents and bits on notepads :P), going to get that up to scratch.

You got that forum Legend, but it seems I was the only one writing articles. Invite some other people to write some stuff! :D

So true.
I tested its database and basic capabilities with DellStorm earlier this year.
I am a little worried that if it gets overloaded just a tiny bit it might sort of implode - I am not 100% certain on its strength.

We've already got a confirmed sub-domain from the owners, but not really sure what they had in mind or where they are right now.
Title: Re: .: Vice City Explorer | Exclusive to Argonath RPG - VC:MP :.
Post by: Klaus on December 19, 2011, 09:59:32 pm
Don't rely on the owners, you'll be waiting a long time. The forum you had seemed fine. Though you need to give me the forum address again because I forgot it.
Title: Re: .: Vice City Explorer | Exclusive to Argonath RPG - VC:MP :.
Post by: ~Legend~ on December 20, 2011, 01:03:21 am
Sure, I will send it over to you.

It's very limited and I have found some everyday methods of confusing its database and host. We wouldn't want it to be uber-fast exactly, but I am more worried about the loss of data/corrupting things.



P.S. Was playing around with some graphics and may test out a new theme for this topic soon.
Also there's a good chance that we will be the first/one of the first companies to have our own page on the Wiki, though (like the above) that would be something on the side once the major stuff has been released.

Hai. : )

No, I have been reading everyone's comments and all, though I haven't replied directly here in a while.
Still been in contact with a few people who have given me "things to look at" along the way. Been tied down (I say "tied down" :P) with a lot of other projects around VC:MP, around Argonath, all adding more things to the pile - that is why I haven't been able to dedicate 100% to this in recent months.

Although, just to say, we have surpassed the number of pages, the number of editions and publications by other similar newspapers and media around Argonath!

I'm tempted to kind of just upload my VCE file on here. It's got all the things I have worked on, about 60% content that was never released. It's not in any order, so I will have to sort it out and publish them. I'll also put up what's going to happen with this in the future.

We had elements of an interview, but no actual proper one.

We plan to do it, but as you know we are busy working on our upcoming album; going to be released very soon.

Really Legend, you should just focus on being the owner/publisher. Set a new forum up (or use the one that you showed me) and recruite others to help write articles/interviews/whatever.

Sure thing, thought it may not feature in the current "stuff" coming up, shall add it any promotional items for the future.

That would be great.
It just has to be something mid-short, of course, and representative of your work so far if that was possible. Best of luck with the new album.

Just 'saving' the old topic design.

Will begin work on a re-design to the concept for the future. In the last year the media side of Argonath has grown and outlets such as news blogs, feeds and social networking seems to be on the rise.

Though these are somewhat restricted to certain servers I will do my best to make sure there's something just for VC:MP.

Welcome...

Vice City Explorer is a project, based in VC:MP, which collates recent happenings, events and general activities - both roleplay (in the server) and otherwise. Currently, it works on a monthly basis, and is aimed as a community project for the whole of Argonath to benefit from.

Feel free to take a look around this topic, which should provide all the details, and further information. VCE also has its own site/forum which is accessible for guests and staff alike. You can use the navigation buttons above, or alternatively click on one of the links around this topic to explore.

Hope you enjoy having a look, and any support is much appreciated.

- 6th June 2011: All issues are now up to date, and fully available.

All the VCE 2011 issues are now here and can be viewed as wished!
Do make sure you subscribe to keep up with the latest - you can make use of the subscription offer, which can be found on page 4.

Enjoy. : )


- 25th April 2011: The Vice City Explorer is released officially on Argonath!

Welcome. : )
Feel free to take a look around, and all comments are welcome. Due to general Argonath RPG maintenance, the site/forum will be down for a bit until everything is fully in place, and certain links to the site have been removed/will not work. During this time, applications to join the team will be closed (apart from those that had previously been accepted).

Also, the issues for January, February and March are now more or less ready to be published and shall be put on this topic shortly.

Joining the Team

At the moment, there's no limit to the number of people that can join officially.
You can apply for one of the roles here [Link removed temporarily].

- What's in it for me?
This would be a great way for you to make an individual mark on the Argonath community, and you would gain recognition through your work/contributions. In years to come, old versions of the VCE may be looked at and would be significant history of Argonath - you can rightfully claim to have been an important part of it. This should also expand your own experience here, and in the server. It might even show you some new directions in which you can take your game.
As this is not government supported/funded currently, there is no set pay scheme. However, employees will receive payments/rewards as an 'extra' for their work!

And what's more, this project would not be possible without active team members. ; )


(http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/3406/33547263.png)

This is mostly a community based project, so the content published will come from many different sources.
Even if you are not part of the team (though it is highly recommended), you can submit articles, pictures, ideas or anything that would be suitable for an upcoming issue.

There are no obligations as such to this, as long as you stick within the Argonath rules and the content is appropriate. You will be credited directly for any work, and there may even be an in-game cash payment involved!

Submit content here: [Link removed temporarily]


(http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/6813/73208900.png)
 
There's no better way to keep up with the latest VC:MP news than subscribing!
You can leave an e-mail, or a particular forum board/topic/thread that you would like us to leave each issue of the Vice City Explorer upon release. This is a completely flexible service, and you may add more than one area for us to leave a copy in your subscription.
There is a one time administration cost of AR $15, 000 per subscription, which covers all future VCE releases. 


(http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/8484/picture11s.png)


(http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/2603/27561064.png)

Groups (or individuals) are welcome to partner with the Vice City Explorer, simply by leaving their details here.
Partners will receive possible exclusives, and additional benefits such as reserved areas within VCE issues.

This would also be a great form of advertising, whether you are a group, clan, family or just going solo, and have something to say to the world. For the most part, advertising is free and content will be optimised to go into future publications.
Please leave any adverts or general items that you would like displayed here: [Link coming soon].

While there are no costs, donations will be particularly welcome!
Especially as this is a free service, rather than a business, all donations will go towards this project.

Some of the early work (thank you for those) through MSN/the old SMF forum were quoted or included in articles.
I still have the newer pieces saved, if they weren't added.
