Welcome to our second fortnightly Scriptorium Editorial! We shall be informing you of the latest news on TWC's Library, where the finest articles written by our extremely vibrant member base are stored. So, let's get started!

In terms of raw Librarian work, our team has outdone itself since our last Editorial, which was posted roughly 2 weeks ago, by carefully scanning all of TWC's forums, trying their best to submit worthy articles as soon as possible. Within the last 2 weeks, more than 10 new articles were submitted for your reading pleasure. They are the following, in order of submission:





As you can clearly see by looking at the above list, the main focus of the previous 2 weeks' work were Total War related articles. The multitude of guides and tutorials will hopefully prove to be helpful for rookie Total War gamers and aspiring modders. Have a nice read!

Moving on, we have our usual Scriptorium Article Review Publication. They are meant to introduce to various articles, or perhaps pique your interest enough in order to read the actual articles. This time around we have 1 article review, but a good review it is. One of our most active and devoted Librarians, Astaroth, reviews a fellow Librarian's, Acco's work, "Bura-hara", quite an interesting article on the importance of blood groups on Japanese Society.



"Bura-Hara"

Review Author: Astaroth
Original Thread: [Science]"Bura-Hara"
Do you know what blood group you are? No? Don't worry, most people don't know their blood group either. However, in Japan this is very different. The amount of people who pay a lot of attention to the blood groups of their friends, lovers or employees is growing steadily. This has a huge influence on Japan's society and first cases of discrimination based on it have occured. Acco's highly interesting article deals with this shocking and fascinating subject that most people in other parts of the Earth have never even heard of. The article gives a brief introduction about the biological facts regarding blood groups and moves on to the sociological and political impact they have on the Japanese society. Lots of interesting background information is given and the consequences are outlined as well. Furthermore, the author's educated yet easily understandable language makes it an enjoyable read.
As a result, the article is very informative yet never becomes boring or lenghty. Instead, it stays intriguing and fascinating throughout.

Therefore, it is definitely a must read for anyone who is interested in science, Japan or just well-written articles in general!



Astaroth


Excellent review there, give him a pat in the back for so wonderfully summing up the article!

What's next? New arrivals! Aster, Chaghatai Khan and delra have all joined the Librarian Team! Welcome and wish them best of luck, I'm sure they'll need it, but given their credentials, I'm confident they will learn the secrets of the job in no time! All three of them have already started submitting articles, as can be seen by the articles list above, something which can only be perceived as a positive sign.

And with that, we have reached a conclusion on this second and rather brief Scriptorium Editorial. Remember to pass any comments or questions to the Chief Librarian, jimkatalanos, and in the case you are willing to be a part of The Librarian Team, forward your applications to the person mentioned above(in the very same sentence!), our Chief, jimkatalanos. That was it, I hope you all have a great time, and we'll see you again in 2 weeks.
