Was thinking if we could have what is currently the blog where nothing happens to be honest, to have it be like the RZA newspaper, users could give it a try at writing articles of game resumes or players outstanding performances reviews, a big signing a drastic injury to a key player, an amazing play that happened, you name it, everything related to RZA could be worth writing.

Then the article would be submited to a forum specialy created, lets call it "Red Zone Action Chronicle", every article could be proposed and presented there, and then one article each week would be selected by the Admins to go into the front page, the writer that got the article selected could also recieve a small incentive in credits.

This should be some life to that page, and give the users something to do while on RZA, i mean if they want to, its an option to write or not to write an article.

Thoughts?

Something like this (Keep in mind i have no writing skills, please bear with me)

Lisbon Mighty Lions Clinched Playoff Spot in Their First Season

In their first season of existance, the Lisbon Mighty Lions will take part in the postseason, after securing the second place in their League, Fire 2.1 right behind the Catalans of Pako Team who have dominated the division throughout the season. The Portuguese team was specialy effective while playing at home, in the Lions Den they had close to a perfect record, was it not an early loss in their first game of the season against the Texas Longhorns, but there is still one game left to play, and it should be a good one, against the dominating Catalunha team, both teams have their playoff spot assured, still expectations are high for this matchup.

Lions Den Stadium Picture

General Manager of the team Canonico, had this to say in a interview to our reporter:

reporter wrote:How do you feel about the season your team is having?


Canonico wrote:I must say i am pleasentely surprised with how well we did in our first season, specialy seeing that when i arrived to the organization, it wasnt in time to make it to the draft, missing out on some talented players, so i must say im extremely satisfied on how the season is going, and now i hope we can pull an upset in the playoffs


reporter wrote:So you think the Lions can go through in the first round?


Canonico wrote:I wouldnt be a good general manager if i said i didnt had faith to go through, but we must be realistic and realize that we are the dark horse, and that our young players are still maturing, so i dont want to put any unecessary preassure on their shoulders, whatever happens ill congratulate them in the end, and we will leave with our head held high, that im sure


reporter wrote:There has been some rumours that the Lions are looking to upgrade some positions, specialy mentioning a RB that is beeing scouted and that the fact that the full stadium construction will be ready in two days, might lead to a big aquisition, is there some truth to these rumours?


Canonico wrote:(Canonico makes a serious face) Absolutely not, we are not on the market to buy any player, and if we were it wouldnt be for a Running Back, we have three talented running backs in our team, one of them is actually close to making the top ten in yards in the HoF so theres absolutely no truth whatsoever in that rumour, all our efforts will be to improve our youth academy after the restructuring of our stadium finishes.

Dustin Vacaro Lions Running Back

reporter wrote:One final question, now that you will be able to draft pick players for the upcoming season, will there be any moves made, people have been talking about the possibily off hiring a new Head Coach to the team, is that a possibilty?


Canonico wrote:Well thats two questions and not one, but ill answer them, infact i am trilled to be able to bring some draftees to our team, to help build up our team, theres a core number of players on our team that have been identified and that will be in our team for the long haul, we will build our organization around them, but everyone in our locker room knows they are as important as the next guy, and thats the spirit we want here in the Mighty Lions. Now thank you for your time but im already running late...


reporter wrote:How about the coach, is that rumour true?

Nice one Go in Fire 1.1, you would be a good observer of our league (Why Paco Team is romenian? I can see a flag of Andorra on its page)

Doh! I think i corrected that, the flag looked to be from Romenia.

And this was just a example, and not a good one, im sure there are talented writers among us, who could write great articles to have on the Chronicle weekly, you should give it a shot.

Meh, why instead of contacting you , users dont post in a apropiate forum board, this way every article would be read by the comunity, even if not chossen to get published in the front page, more apealing imo.
