[War_ooc] Build a bear? Build a World Report!

[Bryan Tribble]

>From a content point of view, I think we should keep it as simple as
possible since we're expecting one person to handle it all. As far as I'm
concerned the report style used in the past is just fine. It's nice to know
who's who in the United Nations, but has it been used very much in the past?
We used to use it quite a bit but I don't know if that's continued.

The indicators for each country are nice to have but as John pointed out the
narrative portion is what everyone wants. I wouldn't necessarily support
adding anything to the World Report but I'm sure there's some kind of way we
can streamline the process. I imagine the narrative portion is the most
difficult & time-consuming to write but that's where we all like to see
detail. I wouldn't necessarily be bothered by removing the indicators in
favour of more focus on the narrative portion.

But as for any kind of fundamental change, I'm at a total loss!

Yes yes yes, maybe I should do this on my own, but I'm being collegial!

Or something.

Anyhow, the problem I'm facing:

I'm trying to think through the World Report from the ground up.

Problem is: It's meant to be informative to you the players....And I'm
not so sure what you want in the thing.

Obviously the narrative sections, they're the fundamental point of the
bloody thing, but what else?
