This month's newsletter is awesome!!!! I like the rainbow sliders on the picture.

Also, I wish I could be on the interview. But may I have one if that's okay?:-)
Are you talking about being interviewed or joining the interview team?

You're free to leave an application, but due to the current size of the team and the somewhat busy scheduling, we're looking for people with lots of credentials/skill and dedication.

As for being interviewed, a person would need to be widely known throughout osu!, whether it'd be a skill they possessed or a position they are in. However, we're considering to do more things that involve readers like you, so keep your eye on that. ;)
Okay. But... Where can I get a free application for the osu interview?

Since we wanted to put some attention grabbers on the front page, it is inevitable that the articles will be unable to fit the whole page. It's not like we can resize the page to our whim or something. I suppose this can be corrected with the instance of a Cover Page, but we'll discuss a better way to do all of this for the next edition. We'll try.

In the meantime, I don't really see how going to the back page is that annoying, considering that you can click the link and it'll automatically redirect you there.

Yeah, I've been meaning to point that out too. You don't need to scroll. Real life publications can break up articles over many pages for similar reasons, as well.

I loved this issue. My favorite parts were the "Tablet vs. Mouse" retake and the interviews. The interviews each had my favorite parts in them as well, being:

"Yes, my moonbase will reopen, but this time as a website, not a livestream channel. I plan to get it up and running sometime mid next year. It will be a place for art, music, anime and all things otaku" Because I'm an otaku! :D --

"It’s cruel to make me choose just 3...
But I’d pick Hikato (because I can if I
want to), ztrot and Andrea (osuplayer111) because we are the osu! brotherhood of techno" because I love ztrot, osuplayer111 and Jericho2442's beatmaps and song choices! --

"Lolis, tsunderes, or normal anime girls?
You’ll probably laugh at me but I don’t know what a “tsundere” is. Actually, I got to know what a loli is because of osu!. I’ll go with lolis" Because, well, I like lolis (and loli tsundere~) :3

Keep up the great work on the osu! monthly, can't wait for the next one~

except when i can't click on it :U
Starrodkirby86
Would you look at that. It seems the Google Docs version can't quite do that. The original version is able to redirect.

All right, duly noted, thanks. Hmm.

Yeeah. It seems that the .pdf viewer on Google Docs doesn't accept redirects to specific text anchors. That's a real shame. I'll see what I can do for the next edition.

Luv this~! If this were tube of you ,i'd press "LIKE" :lol: ,anyways... what a hellish interesting crossword...

Great issue this month!
Love the new layout, looks really great. A lot more content, and the addition of a crossword puzzle is great...as hard as it is.
Jalatiphra
great work !!!

edit : damn that crossword is hard, or am i just that bad? :)
YGOkid8
it'd be pretty hard to make a crossword every week solely on osu!. i mean, there is a limit to the amount of stuff you can put into the crossword. perhaps expand a bit to (internet) general knowledge that's related to music, games, etc. in some way?

examples: osu! is based off what video game, the artist of the hardcore 200BPM maps Lesjuh makes, ztrot's favourite anime, etc.

^ those are just examples, so yeah, just saying it should have a wider variety of stuff, not just solely on osu!, if that makes sense @.@
TBTE
Only got one complaint and that is that i couldn't open the Links in new tabs, which makes me lose my spot Because I am a retard and have to push Back on Google Chrome, Which hates me doing that for some reason.

other than that awesome article and everything in it was awesome.

You probably must mean every month, bro.

Well, it's all part of the osu! universe. Who knows what I'll create. Besides, beatmaps are included inside the osu! universe. I could be using a song artist, a song title, or anything like that. Right now I have lots of stuff to go off of, so don't underestimate me just yet. ;)

With the Google Docs Viewer, you're able to open things in separate tabs by right clicking on a link. Otherwise, I'm not sure what you can really do, unless you download the .pdf instead of view it on a web browser.

I could always create an html version if the authors would want me to.

Oh dear, I just realized I haven't replied ever since this started. This might be a good time to grab all the questions that Kirby missed...
...he didn't miss any...well then.

I'll just thank you all for the feedback (good and bad) and that we're currently working very hard on the next issue.~

Questions for the interview with Cookiezi are now CLOSED

The link is now dead so don't get any ideas ;3

Thank you for all your questions, ideas and input guys.

We would suck without you~ :3

I love the new format, graphics, and articles in this issue! Great job, everyone; I look forward to seeing the next issue! :P

Great newsletter. Lot's of improvements especially on the layout and looks.

I'll be saving Doomsday's article for rank-crazy idiots.
Starrodkirby86
It's the half of the month ~

If you haven't submitted your crossword answers, perhaps should be a good time to get something down, especially if you're closing in on all of them. :) Remember that you can submit as many times as you want. I'll only be counting the highest scoring attempt.

Not aiming to be annoying or anything, but it's only a week until the next month. If you're close to finishing the crossword, perhaps it's a good time to get that completed or submit the current answers you have right now. After all, you're allowed to submit as many times as you want!

Seriously, guys? There may be cases where it makes sense to bump an old newsletter discussion thread, so I'd hate to have us be forced to lock the previous thread each time a new one comes out, but you're making me think maybe that's what we should do. Otherwise maybe we should just delete pointless bump posts on a case-by-case basis. I'm leaving this one open for a moment at least to discuss this issue. Thoughts?
Hernan
A warning when about to bump an inactive thread maybe.

jjrocks
Personally, I'm against locking these threads, mostly because there may be a legit point a person may want to bring up for discussion. Now I hate to ask the moderators to do it but I'd rather this not be locked and use case by case basis. Of course I would do this myself but...you know...I can't.

Alternatively, we could give you News rights...

...The only other person I can think of who has those and is not on the BAT or GMT BAT is Gabi.

Scratch that, I think the team is gone now. Ah well.
Sinistro
I say case by case. It doesn't seem to be too frequent, and it's easy enough to check from time to time and delete the idiocy.
