Bye for now AoE/Colin, Hello Work |

|
|
Never got to say farewell to AoE or Colin or to thank them for their work. AoE I'm sure will be back before too long, and Colin is still around, just not on staff.
The meeting went great; it was an hour long, and at one point we had 114 people in there. Thats almost a record; the biggest meeting we ever had, if I remember correctly, was 121. Hopefully we'll see everyone+more back at the next meeting, which will be at the same time/place.
If you missed this last meeting, check out the agenda/discussion/meeting log topic. You can also check out the topic for next week's meeting and suggest things you would like to hear about or discuss; of special interest is how I can make these meetings helpful for you guys. While it may seem like it, I really don't take much interest in hearing myself talk, so I'd like to find some easy/sane way to get you guys involved in the meetings more. If you've got ideas, we want to hear them.

Farewell |

|
|
Dear Loyal Subjects of Czar Reidman,
The train has reached its final stop, and I did not purchase a ticket back. Sadly, I will not be with you as you journey onward into the awesome future that is coming in all of its wonderous glory. During this time of anticipation, before the unveiling of the New Architecture, concieved by our great Czar, I must leave you. However, the path to your ambition will be made radiant by the distinguished cadre that I leave in my wake.
Fear not, for I shall be with you in Spirit! Even though the Apple falls from the Tree, its seed is reborn, and shall bear fruit once more.

Hey, It's Mailbag! |

|
|
As one of the only staffers whose FTP still works perfectly fine, allow me to present to you:
A NEW MAILBAG!
This week we rant about Nintendo's eerily teasing EarthBound forum topic over from the NOA boards, plus! there's an all-new topic about awesome merchandise you'd like to have! I expect at least four, maybe five letters - though secretly I'm expecting to be overwhelmingly surprised!
Also, scroll down and check out Jonk's update. That man totally kicks my butt. He's kind of tall, it's intimidating. Here's another Mailbag link, just for kicks.

SUPER MEETING TIME |

|
|
Hey folks, I've got a huge update in the works, but its going to take me some more time to finish, so I need to stop putting this off. Two separate announcements, both important:
Sitewide Meeting There is a meeting this Sunday (and every Sunday from now on) at the following time (by time zones):- Pacific - 5:00 PM
- Mountain / Arizona - 6:00 PM
- Central - 7:00 PM
- Eastern / Indiana 窶 8:00 PM
- Canadian Atlantic 窶 9:00 PM
The meeting is going to take place in #earthbound on Dynastynet (irc.dynastynet.net). If you've never used IRC for chatting before, check out the Chat section for more information. If you're interested in the site and what we're working on, feel free to attend.
Staff/Dev Team/Resubmitters: We're going to have a big meeting immediately following the site meeting. The meeting will be held in the staff channel, #smnet. If you need access, email me. You should be there for both meetings. I'll try to keep them as brief as possible, since we've all got a lot of work to do.
Thanks to Giovanni for the timetable (good until April 3rd, 2005) ;)

EB and EB0 Differences FAQ |

|
|
chuggaaconroy recently submitted a cool FAQ that lists differences and similarities between EarthBound and EarthBound Zero. Ideally, it should go into the EB and EB0 sections of the site, but as both sections are sort of in temporary stasis staffer-wise, I figured I might as well put it up for everyone to see. You can check it out here.

Your Monthly Mailbag |

|
|
No excuses, ladies and gents - I've got the new Mailbag right here, and I'm proud of it. A big hello to anyone coming through here from the Nintendo forums, you might recognize me as the guy from the top of page 29. May I recommend the site tour to you? Then you can come back and send me a Mailbag letter! You too, regulars! If I get as many letters this time as I did last time, maybe it'll go back to being weekly!

Nintendo asks: "More EarthBound?" |

|
|
A forum moderator over at the Nintendo Power forums recently asked this question:
Should there be more Earthbound games? What makes them so great anyway?
You would think that with all the NP Sieges, Call-Ins, and Petitions we have sent Nintendo of America over the last few years they would finally understand that people in North America WANT MORE EARTHBOUND. Well, if they want to hear it directly from us on their forums, I say so be it.
>>>>>>>>>> NP Forum: Earthbound Topic <<<<<<<<<< Please go to this topic over at the Nintendo Power forums. If you do not have an account there, please be sure to sign up for one. But before you post ANYTHING keep these things in mind:
Do not spam their boards. This is not a board invasion. Do not post "OMG EB R0X WE N33D IT!" Write as much as you like about EarthBound. Show NoA how much we care for the Mother series.
This could be one of those times that NoA is sure to read what we say. So now is a good time to let them know how you feel about Mother 1+2 and 3 ever reaching our shores. Now go post! And feel free to discuss in this topic in our forums.

Auctions Complete |

|
|
There are a lot of Complete items this week. But what makes an auction Complete? Here is an example: EarthBound is considered Complete when it comes with the Cart, Player's Guide, Box, AND ALL of the inserts. The reason its Complete, is because it came with everything as if you bought it new. Most sellers will claim what they are selling is Complete, but if you read the description the inserts, even box, are often missing. This kind of thing only really matters to someone that is either a collector, or wants to get everything for their dollar.
Auctions come with everything listed here. Winner pays $5 S&H. MO Only.
Anyway, always read the description of the item your bidding on. Just because the seller says its Complete, doesn't mean it is.
