Title: The Split
Fez - May 30, 2005 12:43 AM (GMT)
Whose issue did you like the most out of this weeks "split" issue.
Havnt had time to completely browse both yet, just a quick skim but right now Im going with Stian (mostly cause Alec didnt print my Geeks Guide to getting a girl)
templar34 - May 30, 2005 01:04 AM (GMT)
Tell me you didn't plug me in your Geek Guide to getting girls. Am just reserving this post for when I have read it (still in bed).
Fez - May 30, 2005 01:13 AM (GMT)
No I didnt sorry :(
It was a pretty lame write up, but I need it to be printed cause it contains a plee for more quest columnists cause Im all out of ideas.
templar34 - May 30, 2005 02:12 AM (GMT)
How permanent is this split? And is it time for Zoot to step up to the mark?
El Matador - May 30, 2005 03:13 AM (GMT)
Obtusion wins hands down thanks to it's Saved By the Bell article.
I haven't read the other one, but it can't top that.
In the interview with LS, she has openly stated her intention to become next year's editor. Battle stations...
Synopsis - May 30, 2005 03:19 AM (GMT)
Obtusion has the Saved by the Bell article, but Entropy had sadomasochism...
Then again Obtusion also has that Liz Shaw interview, but Entropy has sadomasochism
Obtusion has transgendered lust, but Entropy still has sadomasochism.
I just can't make up my mind, I'll have to read them some more.
El Matador - May 30, 2005 03:23 AM (GMT)
Dude I can vote for all three of those options..so I did.
Anyone note in the LS interview...
Craccum "Describe yourself in 5 adjectives"
LS:
Determined
Passionate
Funny
Ambitious
Stubborn
Caring
Count em.
I'm never ever sitting on those benches again.....

This split issue thing is awesome. There's so much opportunity for full blown feuds and infighting to break out. Pent up aggression, suppressed rivalries, which editor will assassinate the other first!?

The infighting music sounds suspiciously similar to the flame wars theme.

It's just your imagination.
Steveo - May 30, 2005 07:23 AM (GMT)
I liked both of them. (they printed my letter tehehehe)
El Matador - May 30, 2005 07:30 AM (GMT)
Can anyone fill us in on the motivation for 'the split'?
Happy Ahmed - May 30, 2005 08:14 AM (GMT)
Fun and games.
Note how I was providing Stian will hugs and tissues.
Steveo - May 30, 2005 08:25 AM (GMT)
Yes I laughed loudly at that in my maths lecture and got some funny looks :(
EDIT: not tooo loudly
Boy Wonder - May 30, 2005 08:32 AM (GMT)
As a one off thing its pretty cool.....somthing different. But week in-week out I prefer a single craccum.
Yeliah - May 30, 2005 08:51 AM (GMT)
Hmm. I liked the Saved by the Bell artcile, but I always loved Alec's Che Guevera dating/getting laid article. Guess I'll vote for Stian's though - my thingy is in that. Harr.
kiwi_hockey_guy - May 30, 2005 11:01 AM (GMT)
with regards to the article with LS in it..............
a female friend of mine pointed out to me that Red and Pink clash and should not be worn together............ *cue fashion police*
then led on to saying other derogatory things that i do not wish to mention as I dont believe you should pass judgement on just how a female dresses and presents herself........
can u sense the bullshit?????
:naughty:
But I do feel a little overwhelmed by the amount of reading that i have to do over this next week....... 2 magazines is a bit too much, and the regular pieces are a bit here-and-there I think....
P.S. I assume there is no more craccum untill next semester?????
P.P.S is the 29th the day that said edition of NZX is on news stands?
maniacnymph - May 30, 2005 11:16 AM (GMT)
i love clashing colours :)
i liked stians. maybe im just biased coz he seems nicer than alec tho, although i *can* see how being stalked by a first year with a videocam could get a tad irritating after the first two days......*cough*...... ah well, i havnt actually read alecs yet, yay for 2 craccums, made my week, but no craccum for an indeterminable age? i feel like crying. in fact, yes, i think i bloody well WILL cry. holidays suck (//no craccum).
hmph.
:unsure:

I was thinking you guys were abit overly mean to her, after reading that idea i've changed my mind, ppl that stupid need to be teased!!!!!
kittenslayer - May 30, 2005 12:37 PM (GMT)
I perfer Alec's issue better, Stian's one is good for some short cheap laugh, but overall dumb is the word. I wonder if this split is just a theme or for real?

Reading one book printed all together is better than 2 books
its just a different thing...
So craccum should be back... no matter wat they name the merged magazine. The tow cud atleast be merged together with two sections
and yeah.. just publish two different books is not really the way to sort out differences
maniacnymph - May 31, 2005 05:04 AM (GMT)
yeah. but which ones the devil?
Zoot - May 31, 2005 05:14 AM (GMT)
No magazines till next semester.
Though Liz's NZX comes out tomorrow, I believe.
Happy Ahmed - May 31, 2005 06:00 AM (GMT)
She told me the 6th.
Lamination, liquid nails, and Alec's door, here I come

samf - May 31, 2005 06:40 AM (GMT)
Stian's was funny for a bit - especially with Saved By The Bell - but Alec's is the one with the most good reading in it. Plus he's not encouraging nitwits in their delusions of grandeur...
Incidentally neither cover looked that great. Frankencouches narrowly won in my opinion, but it was something of a low baseline comparison.

Yeah Ive changed my mind, Alecs had more interesting articles including yours Ryan, fucking brilliantly written. The "black america" piece was good too.

Ta, mate. I've been getting good feedback.
I think Katie's was very excellent also, and I loved the Dilettantes interview.

Jaded Mandarin - May 31, 2005 11:28 AM (GMT)
I thought the split was a just a little stunt [still do].
Jamz - May 31, 2005 01:52 PM (GMT)
it would be helluva funny if they came back next semester and were like har obtusion was actually written by Alec and entrophy written by Stian. yozat fool.
Steveo - June 1, 2005 04:36 AM (GMT)
Lol, I thought about that but then thought some more and why would it be funny? It wouldnt really......
Glad Wrap - June 1, 2005 05:48 AM (GMT)
i thought that it was just a gag to print 2 competeing magazines?
If not and they can't co-operate then they should be forced to resign.
Happy Ahmed - June 1, 2005 07:24 AM (GMT)
I don't think they should have to resign.
But things have been edgy around the craccum office lately. I quite like Alec and Stian both, but it's been difficult for me to not get caught in the middle. They basically just hide in their offices now and if they see eachother they mutter something like 'cunt' or faggot' under their breath and stare at the floor.
Last week they got into a full on shouting match and Alec threatened Stian with a cricket bat.
Next semester might be a bit rough but hopefull they can come to some sort of agreement over the break.
maniacnymph - June 1, 2005 08:04 AM (GMT)
ok, but you have to admit that that cricket bat thing was just a little bit funny ahmed.
Steveo - June 1, 2005 08:58 AM (GMT)
They are going to have to pull something otherwise the students are going to get shitty.
maniacnymph - June 1, 2005 09:10 AM (GMT)
meh, im sure summatl happen. maybe zoots ready to step up?
Steveo - June 1, 2005 09:12 AM (GMT)
Nah, they will be sweet. Everyone has falling outs. Didnt you trail them for a week or something maniac? You should know what they are like. Kinda
