I don't play W27. I had a link to it at one stage and I still visit to read the weekly. I sometimes miss a week, but I do catch up and read everything. It's fantastic and inspirational for forums of other worlds. You write well.
I see that you are running out of things to write about in the weekly. You might want to consider a "history" of W27, the major wars but also some individual personal stories, including of some players without established names. (I now it is a lot of work, but it would be a testament to W27 as well as to Zarin and all of the W27 weekly contributors.
You might be able to get it stickied and locked or even added somewhere in the Wiki as W27 might be the first world to end. It would be an example for other world of some fantastic things that can be in forums.
It might include:
The Settings - tribe lock, random tribes, people opinions (already covered in some weekly's)
The formal history - the wars, the major tribes, the leaders, the key events (mostly could be taken from pages of the weekly)
The geography - if there are time lapse copies of Nickjer's maps for example.
The early days - I can't remember if this was a Purple Predator hunting ground or not? etc
The best cartoons by Tacops and others
The best forum threads (I vote for the hypothetical wars thread)
The most active PnP'ers - outside of wars
In terms of personal stories, you might ask if anyone still here has an interesting personal insight, a near miss, a lucky break. You might see if you can reach out to players past for this.
A personal story might be a bit like:
Player x found himself in W27 without realising the tribe-lock settings and knew he had to fend for himself. He had a bit of experience from other worlds, but nothing special. He watched with amusement as the leadership vote was held and watched as the guy he voted for was out-voted by the populist attention seeker.
A few weeks later he was being farmed by a bigger player. Carefully he hoarded his troops and sent them on long farming runs when he was offline. A week into the farming he had enough to kill the LC of his attacker. He stacked and waited. He knew the farming pattern now. The LC died. His attacker was impressed and they became PA's and began working on others around them.
At about 5 villages each, the PA tried to double-cross player x and this time player x was ready. He defended, backtimed and cleared the main and then cleared the other villages whilst his one-time PA quit.
He was monitoring all around him (he thought) and he noticed a player 3 times his size drop points in a nearby village. He quickly got in and scouted it. Mostly cleared, wall smashed. Two days later the big player had not grown, so player x killed the remaining troops and nobled the village, only to find that an even bigger player contacting him about it.
So much for monitoring the environment! Where had all these big tribes sprung from in late February? Looking around the map he though, "Oh sh*t...."

A bit wordy. It could be finished off. Its a real life experience of someone who was playing this world at one stage.
