Glad to see this is back! I'll help out in any way you'd like. A few years back, I tried to bring back a thread to show Islanders the folks behind the mask, I could do that again if you'd like.
I agree with BT, I think this is a great idea. Perhaps it could be part of the interview series?

We may want to reformat, expand its purview and freshen it up.
We've had my Inside the Islanders Studio, but that was predated by "Eyes On..." and "Spotlight..." so let's look at what worked with them, what could be amended for this new segment.
To me, the biggest thing is consistency. If we put everything together in one post, kind of like the monthly report the emissaries post in our embassies, we need to make sure there's enough to report in each issue and if we do this interview series, that there is definitely one for every issue. I tried making my segment weekly and the problem with that became that some Islanders just log into NationStates more regularly than the board and so prospective interviewees weren't seeing the questionnaire until a day or two before the week was up. Having a larger time frame I think will help.
I want to be one of the writers here, i already posted my first thing (i am so before). I send you a few tacos
You should have waited to post content until you had approval to do so. The Mad Islander is a business and it has a process. Let me see what's going on with your citizenship and I'll get you started. I actually like the idea of the Mad Poll. The one you posted is rather generic, but its good for an introductory poll. I'm sure we could come up with all sort of crazy/silly stuff we could ask our fellow Islanders

@madislander , Aersoldorf , I am heartbroken at the state of the Mad Islander. I'm going to try to revive it in some fashion. It would be nice to receive a stipend for my efforts, but I must rely upon the largesse of my benefactors. I see from an earlier post that I should await your approval, as this is a business. But I urge you to allow me to provide Islanders with an essential service: all the news that fits.

Jabberwocky, Aersoldorf has been absent for sometime now, but we hope he will return soon... But I am sure he won't mind if you revive the Mad Islander! Maybe you could talk to Woonsocket about the Mad Islander's forum account...

Aersoldorf is very busily dealing with some RL issues and will be back. Jabberwocky, would it be possible for you to do something similar until you hear from him? Say call it "The Mildly Angry Islander" or "The Kinda Wacky Islander" or something. That way his creation remains his creation and you can take your creation in the direction you want it to go without stepping on his already-established business.

Those are pertinent suggestions, which I will adopt, as I don't want to step on anyone's toes.

Jabberwocky : I'd love to help you set up a newspaper.... Should you need my help ofc.
Any ideas or recommendations you have will be greatly appreciated. I imagine I will keep doing this even if I don't get paid. I owe it to the Islands that have adopted me. And it's more useful than trying to outspam Hakketomat, which can't be done.

That's something to consider. Certainly i plan to do a scandal sheet.

Sure, like Frank Zappa used to interview himself for a magazine.
