Haha what if canon and fanon actually talked

aka my take on their "RP advertisements" and maybe their entire newsletter if I feel like it

also maybe part of why theres a divide between canon and fanon—"holier than thou" sort of thing and Outclaw's nastiness

would be a template.

RP TITLE (would be hyperlinked to thread)
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean id nisi id diam interdum lobortis ac sed arcu. Phasellus tristique suscipit massa vel tincidunt. Donec elementum tortor at magna dignissim, ut eleifend turpis blandit. Morbi sagittis pretium purus. Sed a eros et purus sollicitudin volutpat. Sed sed ex eros.

Filled out, something like this: (copied from the current newsletter, #32. The first RP listed)

Operation Silver Eye
Forces of unknown species have come to the supercontinent. AetherWings. They released chaos and terror throughout the land, spreading fear. Hope begins to fade away. However, a team of scientists created an experiment. 18 altered eggs. Two from each tribe. You could be one of them. Join now to be part of an exciting adventure to find out what exactly these mysterious creatures are and what they want.

Template Format:

[[{{{rp-ad\_link}}}|{{{rp-ad\_title}}}]]
{{{rp-ad\_desc}}}

```
<dl>
<dt>[[{{{rp-ad_link}}}|{{{rp-ad_title}}}]]</dt>
<dd>{{{rp-ad_desc}}}</dd>
</dl>

```

in practice:

```
{{rp-ad
}}

```

```
{{rp-ad
}}

```

Maybe also an on/off toggle for "this RP is now closed"

```
{{#switch: {{{rp-ad_status}}}
<dl>
<dt>[[{{{rp-ad_link}}}|{{{rp-ad_title}}}]]</dt>
<dd>{{{rp-ad_desc}}}</dd>
<dd><b>✅</b> This RP is currently <b>open</b>!</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt>[[{{{rp-ad_link}}}|{{{rp-ad_title}}}]]</dt>
<dd>{{{rp-ad_desc}}}</dd>
<dd><b>⚠️</b> This RP is currently <b>closed</b>!</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt>[[{{{rp-ad_link}}}|{{{rp-ad_title}}}]]</dt>
<dd>{{{rp-ad_desc}}}</dd>
<dd><b>✅</b> This RP is currently <b>open</b>!</dd>
</dl>
}}

```

with the following template code:

```
{{rp-ad
}}

```

open results in this:

**✅** This RP is currently **open**!

closed results in this:

You could also style it but thats for tomorrow since I'm too tired

The ads now include more than just RPs (see Newsletter #40) so renaming the variables and adding the 'advert\_type' variable: (copied from the current newsletter, #40. The only misc. listed)

```
{{#switch: {{{advert_status}}}
<dl>
<dt>[[{{{advert_link}}}|{{{advert_title}}}]]</dt>
<dd>{{{advert_desc}}}</dd>
<dd><b>✅</b> This {{#switch: {{{advert_type}}}|rp=<span>RP</span>|other=<span>thread</span>}} is currently <b>open</b>!</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt>[[{{{advert_link}}}|{{{advert_title}}}]]</dt>
<dd>{{{advert_desc}}}</dd>
<dd><b>⚠️</b> This {{#switch: {{{advert_type}}}|rp=<span>RP</span>|other=<span>thread</span>}} is currently <b>closed</b>!</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt>[[{{{advert_link}}}|{{{advert_title}}}]]</dt>
<dd>{{{advert_desc}}}</dd>
<dd><b>✅</b> This {{#switch: {{{advert_type}}}|rp=<span>RP</span>|other=<span>thread</span>}} is currently <b>open</b>!</dd>
</dl>
}}

```

with the following template code:

```
{{advert
}}

```

Setting type to 'other' and status to 'open' results in this:

Badges requests!!
I will make badges for you!!
**✅** This thread is currently **open**!

While setting type to 'other' and status to 'closed' results in this:

Badges requests!!
I will make badges for you!!
**⚠️** This thread is currently **closed**!

I haven't actually tested this part to make sure it works (I did test the first section, however) but it should work.

Again, styling is for yet another day.

the how-to section:

Description
This template is used for thread advertisements such as art, badge creation, or RPs.
Syntax
This template has five parts; the `advert_link`, the `advert_title`, the `advert_desc`, the `advert_type`, and the `advert_status`.
**`advert_link`** sets *where* the advertisement link goes. It must be the set of 7-8 numbers directly after `Thread:` in the url.
**`advert_title`** sets the *text* of the link. It should be the title of the advertised thread.
**`advert_desc`** is a short blurb of description text about the advertised thread.
**`advert_type`** sets the type of advertisement. If the advertisement is for a RP this *must* be set to **`rp`**, otherwise it should be set to **`other`**.
**`advert_status`** is the status of the advertised thread. If the advertised thread is accepting requests or new roleplayers (etc) it should be set to **`open`**. If the advertised thread is *not* it should be set to **`closed`**.
Examples

```
{{advert
}}
