Last Weeks Votes


~~~EarthBound Vote~~~

Last week was an interesting poll I think. I asked you what you thought about how EarthBound64 should be created. Should it be in the 2D SNES setup where it was simple to control, navigate, and explore. Or, should it be in the 3D field where it is harder to explore, navigate, and control, But the world offers you an more interesting realization and living expierience?

Personally, I think that I would like the 2D system better. If we can base a whole club on a 2D based Character... Why not again? But the polls speak differently.

The Actual question: Should EarthBound6 be in a 3D viewed landscape or a 2D viewed landscape?

3D: 64
2D: 49
Total Votes: 113


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~~~Non EarthBound Poll~~~

Last week was another interesting issue. What do you guys think of Curfews? Are they good or are they bad. For the majority of you that voted... It was a good thing that they are around. In my opinion, they are good, but they should allow certain things in certain cases.

Last week I also said that I was able to go out at 2:30AM or so and go to the local 7-11, and I wasn't busted because I am the class President. All of what I said was true, but I left out one very important fact. It was the night before homecoming, and we were staying up to make sure that our float wasn't ruined by other classes/upper classmen. I guess that if you do indeed behave in school and earn the rank of Class President.. It gives you special privlages. But I don't know if I could do it again on any given night.

~~~Editorials~~~


(Non EarthBound Poll)
Curfews, or not?


Bullion14
Yeah, that is unfair, I think it's all stupid. I mean, our parents should be the ones to give us the curfew, not the police. Ever think that some people in this club have even more strict curfews? Like 10:00 or 9:00. Well, my parents don't care, but I don't like not being able to go places with my friends past 11:00, but sometimes (If yer lucky) the person won't mind. BUt there are still those (Yes, there are some adults that love for teens to get in trouble) people that have a problem with you. So I say curfew should be gone. But it's not my choice.


Sonic CBP
In a sense, it's both fair and unfair. I personally think
that curfews are quite unfair. What's wrong with being
outside with your friends after 10:00 pm? Nothing. But
there's not much we can do about it. Sure, most adults think
it'd be easier if we all met in the day, I can see that
point. But what's so important about being out after 10:00?
NOTHING! There are very few cars out that late (unless it's a
big city.) Luckily, though, I don't live in a town with
curfews.

Adrieweth
Personally, I think that the curfew law is a good idea, and I'm probably the only teen that thinks this way. It's not as if you are completely banned from going outside if you're young. Exceptions to these curfew laws do exist, allowing kids to legally stay out late if they are:

Accompanied by a parent, guardian, or adult;
Participating in a religious, educational, or political activity;
Responding to some type of emergency; or
Returning home from a school, cultural, or recreational activity.
Running an errand for a parent or guardian;
Working or going to or from their place of employment;

Basically, this covers everything except illegal activities. Most people that aren't doing the above things and are out past eleven or midnight are probably doing something wrong. EVen if you're just hanging around, you don't need to be idly loitering, anyway. It's just asking for trouble. Now that I'm 17, I'm not affected by it anway, and all of my friends are my age and older, so what do I care?


Skulryk1
I'd like to say this about kerfews (yes, i'm sorta
an insomniac too...) They make no sense. It's another way of
the government trying to become everyone's parents. The
government does it almost every time something happens. They
just overreact and take it out on the teens. (Thankfully,) my
town doesn't have a kerfew, but I know about a lot of things
I'd miss out on if we did. For example, I usually go to the
movies with my friends once in a while. We usually pick a
movie thet gets out around 10:00, then go to eat at Denny's,
have a good time, and get picked up. Nothing bad at all in
that, just that we lose a little sleep (and we choose a
Friday or Saturday to go, so we can make up for it.) With a
kerfew, we wouldn't be able to do any of that stuff. Even
though we'd just be waiting for a ride home by 11:00-11:30,
we'd eventually be cauget.
Another thing that is wrong with kerfews are the
kids that don't like it, and purposely break or bend the
rules in opposition. Kids just mad at kerfews, who normally
don't stay up late, would go out later in rebellion. Some
might just taunt the cops into coming after them, then
running back to their houses, while others could get violent.
Sooner or later, everyone would be against kerfew, and
plotting a way to end it.


Happy675
Curfew laws are VERY fair. Curfews were put in place to help
stop illegal acts commited by teenagers (ie Gang activity,
break ins, robberys, etc) and most people don't need to be
out that late anyway, it's not like we're allowed in any
night clubs. In fact, i believe there should be for police
officers on parole for breaking curfew. Of corse, I am saying
this mainly because if i got outside after midnight and take
a walk in the park, there's a good chance i'll be found
floating in the river the next morning. Oh well, that's my
two cents.


GrouchoSix
Is it fair to eliminate people's rights to stay out late?
Well, that's a tough question. Of course I love staying out
late, I'm alive at night. However, when you have to think of
dangers in the street, you don't want people crying over your
grave. I would have to say it's fair that people need to be
in houses at 11, or in cars, or whatever, but not roaming the
streets... It's for protection, like a seatbelt. I just
don't think there should be a penalty for being on streets,
just get brought back to your house.
On a lighter note, I don't think it's fair that you get to
wander around at 3 in the morning because you're class
president... In my city I know the class president gets
hunted down because he's hated! HAHAHA!

SaintMoose
I personally think that curfews are unfair. The reason most
being is because it's very prejudgemental to think that just
because kids arent 18 or whatever means that they are going
out to cause trouble. Now I will turn 18 in September,
However, I remember being like 14 or 15 and being really
upset when people would treat me like such a child. Many
lawmakers have obviously forgotten what it's like to be a
teen, We are much smarter and are much more aware of reality
than given credit for. In fact, I think that if there were no
curfews, There would be less crime. My theory on that is
because many teens will think "I am gonna be out this late to
be cool or something". Then they will sneak out and end up
doing something illegal. Being a night person myself, I Find
no big deal at all with being out late, in fact, it's alot
funner. Society needs to calm down. Teens arent evil.

RyanPC2
I think in someways its fair and someways its unfair. Its
good to have a curfew for those people who are little
terrorists and come egg your house and vandalize it but it is
unfair for those who are good people and just want to hang
out late at night, but i don't have to worry about it that
much anymore because i live out in the country, but at my old
house in a subdivision, i had to worry because my family
lived in an area where there were mean kids staying up late
that could really do some damage. This issue is kinda hard
for me to say.


MoonDoggey
Tough for me to say, as I have no idea when the curfew in my town is (YES, I HAVE A LIFE!). The police don't really care. In my opinion, curfews are useful. In some cities it's dangerous for kids to be out at night. I think that the curfew and how much it is enforced should be proportional to the area. The curfew should be earlier in Detroit than in Brookline, and more heavily enforced. It may suck when Blue Boy kicks us out of the park at 1 a.m., but in some cases, it's for our own good.


Matingly22
Curfews are totally unfair, and unjustified. Nobody can force us to go inside at a certain time. That is just wrong to me. In my opinion, it takes away our Civil Rights as americans. Why should we have a curfew, anyways? The law wouldn't work at all, and it would only make more trouble. It would only make staying out late even better, and more exciting. Does anyone know why smoking and drinking are so "cool"? Because it's the wrong thing to do. Us teens love to piss the adults off, so why wouldn't we want to continue the trend with curfews?


~~EarthBound Gang Poll~~

The results for this poll is still being tallied up. This was not a direct EBGang poll, so this was beyond the EBG's control. Please wait until next week when we find out the favorite moves of the Super Smash Brothers.


~~This weeks Polls~~

~~~EarthBound Poll~~~

This week I want to ask you a kind of large poll about EarthBound 64. Please answer the YES and NO questions about the game. It should take 2 minutes to complete the poll on a 14.4k modem.

Should the Characters be the same in EB64? Yes No
Should the Setting be the same in EB64? Yes No
Should the Story Line remain the same in EB64? Yes No
If YES on #1. Should the Characters look the same? Yes No
Do you think that EB64 is ever going to be released? Yes No
Do you think that EB64 should be on the DD system? Yes No
Do you think that EB0 be moved to Gameboy? Yes No

Thank you for doing this poll. It will help me in further issues!


~~~Non EarthBound Poll~~~

More people are beginning to take interest in these polls. This week I would like to ask you about Emulation. If you have the least bit of computer knowledge, you would know that there are something known what Emulators and ROMs are. For those that do not know:

Emulator: A device that acts, transforms, or mimics another system. Such as a SNES, N64, PSX, NES, ect.

Rom: A game that is used in an emulator. Such as SNES EarthBound or N64 Zelda.

The question here is, Should these be legal?

Look at both sides of the issue. If it should be legal, then that means that you are depriving the rewardment for all the hard work that people put into there webpages. That means that the people that made the game won't get paid and so forth.

A good side to it though is that you can get games for free. ((Which again has its issues on "Stealing.".)) But ask yourself this. What about Mario 1 for NES. Why go buy it for $ 1.00 at FuNcO LaNd when you can go and download it off the internet. Why go search around for that hard to find SNES game which you will probably never see when you can click a button and get almost a perfect duplicate copy of it.

As it stands right now it IS illegial for you to have these devices and software on your computer. Whether you are a novice to emulation or a big time ROM and EMU collector.. What do you think??

~~~EarthBound Gang Vote~~~

This week we vote on something that would affect the club in a minor but significant way. I have recieved 6 emails to change the "Theme" of this club. Right now.. As you can tell by its title, the theme of this club is EarthBound.

This is the argument that he wrote:

"EBG Ness, I would like for you to vote on changing the theme of the club. EarthBound is an old game that no longer has any merit value. The game is going into its 6th Year of existance and I can tell that even you are having a hard time basing your club on EarthBound."

Well. I disagree with him, but agreed to do the vote. To me, I could run the club whether is was based on RPG's, Videogames, or EarthBound. I think that shedding 50% of our EarthBound Theme is enough and that we will do fine.

I do think however, that I could broad band this club more if I had more to base it on. It's up to you members what you want to do.

I have come up with a quick 3 stage plan to make the change if so it happens.

Stage 1: Vote whether or not to change the theme of the club.

Stage 2: Pick the new theme and vote on the theme.

Stage 3: Vote to finalize the agreement.

We are at Stage 1. Do we Vote to change the theme or not??
Yes, we should change the theme of the EarthBound Gang
No, we should not change the theme of the EarthBound Gang

~~~Pokemon Pinball Review~~~

Pokemon Pinball is very much like the original game, with the exception that it is in pinball form. It even stays with Pokemon tradition. For example, there are two boards, one Red, one Blue, and you can catch Pokemon on the blue board, that you can't on the red board. You also get to go from city to city, once again you can catch some Pokemon in some cities that you can't in others. And some Pokemon you can find practically anywhere. For instance you can find Pidgey and Weedle almost anywhere. Pokemon Pinball is a fairly easy game. Even though it's easy to the Pokemon, some Pokemon can be very difficult. Getting to the second and third area, on both boards, can be a little bit annoying, because, in order to get to the second stage, you have to get all the Pokemon in the first area. And to get to the third area, you have to catch all the Pokemon in the second area. The Blue board has a different configuration than the Red board. To some, the Red board's easier, but to others, the Blue's easier. If you have any questions or comments, e-mail Lys6, or Whammo12.

Battle Tip: Everdred
If you can't afford to loose hamburgers use PSI for a quick win. Otherwise, Bash.
Battle Tip: Carpainter: Use your best PSI Speacial on him as much as possible. save the rest for LifeUps and Bash him to his missery. He should be easy with the Franklin Badge. He could even kill himself!
Battle Tip: Mondo Mole: Use Paulas PSI Freeze and Ness' special. If all else fails you can wait to get Jeff or even Poo and come back and whack him flat.

Helpfull Hints:
1) Buy lots of fresh eggs($12) in the park and wait until they hatch into chickens. Then you can sell them for $110. Good way to make money!
2) If you don't feel like going to stores to sell your items buy the For Sale Sign in Burlin Park.
3) Butterflys appeaer sometimes in certian places over and over so if you find one of those places, it is a good area to level up. Just keep going away and coming back for butterflys.
4) If you give Orange Kid money it will be a mistake. You will get a machine called the Suporma that plays a tune, Ode to Orage Kid, and then brakes.
5) There is a bike shop were you can rent bikes and honk your horn by pressing R. This make transportation easier, however, before you head to peacfull reast valley, return it, because two people can't ride on it at the same time.
6) When buying weapons and protection looks down at your characters status(HP/PP) and if it is flashing buy it. If it is regular of black there is no need to buty the item unless it is not a weapon or armor.

Until Next Time, This is Rasberrian signing off!

EB Focus:

Who is it:

Plauge Rat of Doom

The Plauge? I saw that movie!!

Well.. So did I and I didn't like it. He isn't that hard to kill at all, and if you got a high up leveled Ness. Then all you have to do is Paralyze or Flash him!

Where is he?:

He is the Sanctuary Location where you get the Carrot Key located in Fourside.

Is he strong?

Not really... Like I said before. If you are leveled up enough, he is quite easy. I killed him at once with PSI FLASH B or 3rd. And you can paralyze him if your luck is up there. The higher the luck.. the higher the chance of paralyzing him.

Anything else?

Not really.. He is easy as hell. Just watch out. Odds are that he will get a lot of SMAASSSHHHH hits on you. Further more, The other enemies in the cave can really wear you down. So keep it up and use the room with the fairy to your advantage!

_________________________________________________________

NON Earthbound Focus

Name

Dave Mirra

Who is he?

An extrememly good biker.

What's cool about him?

He is sponsered by Haro, which makes really good bikes. He is a good rider in all aspects of the sport.

That's cool, What else?

In the last 5 years he has won th egold medal in all bike related events, except for one, in which he won second. He is a great guy to hang around with, and he always throws a piece of his equipment into the crowd after riding.
