Hello all, the proprietor, Konar, recently handed me full administration of the site and while I'm happy to do articles on updates for the game itself as well all things mod related, such as my article on The Wild Wind below, I'm not very involved with the multi-player community.
So, here's where you come in. I'm willing to hire one person to become a journalist, author, writer, what ever you'd like to call yourself to the team to write about what's going on.
Be it tournaments starting, people winning tournaments, clans getting big, clans dissolving, clan skrims, clan rivalries, your feelings on the balance of a future update, even the goings on in cRPG or Mercenary if you play those, you're pretty much free to write what you like.
A degree of impartiality is implied, I'm not going to be happy if you use your articles to call someone who bested you in a duel a big, fat faggot. On the other hand, if you write decent articles with some frequency, having a personality never killed anyone. Sort of.
Also, be aware that the site will be picking up in traffic (hopefully), there will be no payment and anyone is always allowed to submit news to the site. The person I hire, though, will get a few more rights and I'll pretty much be automatically approving what they write.
Feel free to nominate / vote for people who are willing to take the position as well, in the comments.

The Wild Wind modification is reported to be released (an initial alpha, actually) three days from now, on the 8th, and from what I've seen, I'll have to re-download Warband just to play it.
This modification is largely being worked on by Shredzorz, with some help from the community in the form of helpful testers and some O.S.P. artists.
This modification, for those of you who haven't looked it up, will be based in late nineteenth century, western America with all of the six shooters and dust you would expect.
The main feature that Shredzorz, and the followers of the mod, were excited for is the building system which I don't actually have many details on, but you'll be able to make props (such as wooden boards, doors and so on) to build homes, shops, forts or anything you can think of.
Along with that feature (many others not listed) the mod will play out similar to Persistent World with less focus on mining, if I understand correctly.
Here. Have questions and answers and stuff.
Q: So, Shredzorz, who are some the contributors to 'The Wild Wind'?
A: Pretty much just me and the testers, if you count them. The only outside help is one OSP pack full of horses and people answering my questions in the modder Q&A thread.
Q: So does Valmy actually help out or does he just lolly-gag around?
A: He used to be my go-to guy for testing the mod, but he doesn't do that anymore. Every time I ask him to help he claims to hate Warband. I know the feeling.
Q: Have your testers been quite helpful for sorting out the bugs?
A: Definitely. Were it not for them I wouldn't have found even a fraction of the bugs that have now been fixed. What happens when I test my own mods is that I avoid things that I know don't work, which is obviously not good for finding for bugs. I also tend to forget about bugs I've found the second I exit the game, because I don't write anything down.
Q: Has the development process been up-beat for you so far?
A: It was really exciting at first. Then I got more ideas and it got more complicated and less silly, which was actually even more exciting. Then I realized it was more fun when it was silly. But, oh well. I think most people like it more complicated and serious anyway. The good news is that I've put in server options that disable things like resource gathering and dying, if you just want to build stuff.
Q: How do you feel about the Wild Wind in comparison to your first pet project, Age of False Innocence?
A: The biggest difference between the development of The Wild Wind and Age of False Innocence is that I'm a competent mod creator now. AoFI really wasn't fun to make. It had too many factions. Reskinning that shitty uniform model 30+ times got old quickly. And add to that the fact that no even played the mod. So TWW is much more fun, but so is almost anything else. Hey, I played it! I can see where you're coming from though.
Q: Did you have any plans for the art or code content of Age of False Innocence, now that this is your main project?
A: Nope. I do have a singleplayer version of AoFI in the works, but that will probably never come out.
Q: So how did you come to the decision it was time to release? Did it just feel ready? Was it the constant hounding?
A: Here's how it went down. I played the mod a bit, decided it was ready for open alpha testing, and gave myself a week because I knew there was no way it was ready. Giving myself a week turned out to be a good idea, considering more bugs have gotten fixed now than any other time.
Q: Do you feel the coming version will be mostly enjoyable, or there a still a lot that needs to be 'ironed out'?
A: Well, it's definitely fun to play. With that said, I think people have their expectations set too high. There isn't a whole lot of content yet. Everyone right now is just a test monkey. It's fine to enjoy being a test monkey, but you're all still test monkeys. Honestly, I just want to see what people do with the mod. Of course the first thing is that people will build a giant penis with the props, but beyond that I have no idea how this is going to play out. Should be fun to watch.
Q: Do you have a favourite feature in your mod?
A: I like the building system. It's the whole reason the mod was made in the first place. I think most people will probably enjoy it too, as well as the resource gathering and crafting.
Q: What about a favourite killing device?
A: That would easily have to be the Schofield revolver. Not only is it a cool weapon by itself, but it's probably the best model/texture I've ever made. I also like the cavalry saber, because swords are cool.
Q: Any last notes or maybe a shout out?
A: Nothing that I can think of. Just that I hope everyone has a good time with this very very early release of the mod.
Thanks, Shredzorz, I look forward to downloading it and trying to get into one the undoubtedly full servers.
Here's a link to his mod page.
THE WILD WIND
As well as a link to the O.S.P. horse pack he mentioned.
MORE HORSES
I suppose that's the end of the article.

Jab: I think this is the worst news since the betatesting period...
_Benedict_, Admin of Battlegorund eu Servers and TS2/3 services closed up after 30/09/2010 due to recent hackers attack.
I want to remind everyone that the servers Battleground.eu were among the first servers in addition to the Free TS2 / 3, then contributed to the growth of the international community. There have been rumours though that the Teamspeak 3 server will be kept open by other volunteers. Let's hope they will do this, since this is a mayor gathering point for the European Warband community.
You find tread of closing servers here:...
