Crazy Li Joined: 01/25/2015 Posts: 879 Inactive | For those who actually use them, I'm curious how far you go with press releases. Very casual? Full-on realistic news report? What's your style? This question occurred to me after posting my latest press release about the team's win streak that had just ended... I wanted to be so accurate, that I went out and found the day of the week the game occurred on based on the in-game date xP anyone else do stuff like that? |

wil_m Joined: 01/08/2016 Posts: 248 Inactive | I try to be semi realistic. I usually like to show gratitude. If my team is reaching my projected goals, then I express thankfulness. If things are going badly, then I am less likely to use a press release. I may say something like “This is a rebuilding year, etc, etc.” |
