Disclaimer: Slush got off his Common Courtesy Leash, so please don't hold it against him if he insults you, your family, or offends you in general.




Hey, first off, why does everyone hate Timber (the tiger) so much?Is it because his lack of popularity?I just wanted to point that out.
Oh, and um, keep up the good work...(I've been force to praise by uh someone).
-timbergirl128@hotmail.com

Chad: I had no idea Timber was so hated. He's really not subject to much controversy. And I'm forced to open this edition of Letters without thinking of a suitable conclusion. Wonderful.




Hi Ben! I hope you slept well (It's 4:34pm over where I am). One question:
You were in Heroes of Kaazam. Are Chad and Slush gonna be in the sequel? And if they are, could they throw in Our Friend of kicks?
-The Almighty Rainbow Lizard Known As NES Boy

PS: Would Banjo-Threeie involve Banjo, Kazooie, and Tooty (who should be playable) looking for a new home, since their house was destroyed be Gruntilda in Banjo-Tooie?
PPS: If Tooty IS playable, would Rare have to use Tiny Kong's voice samples for her?
PPPS: You might not know this, (unless Slush or Chad told you) but in one clip of Frantic Factory in the DK64/JFG Promo Video, when Tiny does her Ponytail Twirl, you can hear a voice sample of Pipsy from DKR (You have to listen REAL closely to hear it).
PPPPS: Banjo-Threeie should have Klungo selling you transformations at a fair price (He's a scientist who used to be a bad guy because he turned good in Banjo-Tooie, right?).
PPPPPS: Nice ringtones, by the way. Those ages you took to come up with them really paid off!

Ben: Well ARL aka NES Boy,
Yes, I did indeed sleep well that night. Or I got drunk off my face, I can't remember which. As for HoK, I'm not sure what Chad's doing about a sequel. The original wasn't well received in the first place, from what I recall. I don't know if he'll even make a sequel...

PS: Banjo-Threeie will be a Japanese dating sim where you have to help Grunty hook up with Captain Blackeye. Or not, I'm not Rare.
PPS: Tooty may be unlockable as a secret playable character (although why you'd want Grunty to try and date her is beyond me), and her voice will now be done by an asylum patient named Harold.
PPPS: Now you're just being obsessive.
PPPPS: Klungo demands more roles! Bring on Klungo!
PPPPPS: Thankee. There's more on the way.





I just didn't see anything in there about the box in Pawno's emporium. I read through those 2 connection features a couple times. You guys just try to make insults to people's letters even when they try to bring a point up. Well, make an insult outta this... MY JABBERWOCKEY WOKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO SUFFOCATE HIS MONKEY, SINK IT DOWN THE ATLANTIC, AND DANCE ON THE GRAVE OF JAMES EARL DAMN JONES!
-squirtlesaur2000@yahoo.com

Chad: I think the box, along with the Grunty doll and Brentilda's picture are just little easter eggs. Though I could be wrong, considering Jolly Roger's Lagoon contains the most oddities of any level.

And my Jabberwocky does the same thing to Terry Gilliam.





WHERE CAN I BUY THAT DONKEY KONG LUNCH BOX ON YOUR WEBSITE THERE.......THE BACKPACK STYLE!!! GRANDSON WANTS IT!!!!!!!!!!
-BEVERLY BRAZIL E MAIL: SAFARIV@AOL.COM

Ben: IF YOU REALLY WANT IT I'M SURE YOU COULD JUST CATCH A PLANE TO AUSTRALIA, THEY SEEM TO HAVE PLENTY IN THE LOCAL TARGETS. DO YOU HAVE TARGET IN AOL LAND?????//?'///???

Honestly, sometimes I worry about the quality of letters we receive.




You guys suck arse!!! That special sucked! Banjo was the only good idea and Yoshi was always a dinosaur! I now close by saying SCREW YOU!!!!
-Ness554@aol.com

Slush: Right...apparently you didn't get the point. And that point is, there was no point. How dull would of a Feature would it have been if I gave sensible ideas about SSB2? Very dull.

P.S. Yoshi was always an Acorn Person, and we have proof.





Dear Jungle Vine guys,

I saw the composite picture you guys made of Rare's shapely female demihuman characters. Under that picture you guys wrote the subtitle, and I am paraphrasing, "is it any wonder Rare HQ is a former farm house" or something to that affect. Obviously you were implying that their is some sort of bestiality connection between Rare characters and where the Rare people live. Don't get me wrong, I think that your picture and subtitle is witty and humorous. Please don't take it off.

All I am trying to say is that not everybody who is into that sort of art form is a zoophile or has a desire to commit bestiality. It is true that some are, but most aren't. Most of the people who are into that sort of art are either licanthropes(sp?) or have a cartoon fetish.

I know this because, for a short period of time, I was apart of the Furry community and a furry art addict. The Furry community is large, covers a wide spectrum of people, and covers a wide range of art forms that center around demihumans. The art forms include literature, visual art, and costuming. Furry art can range from really crappy to spectacular, and from kiddy to XXX. Anytime a character is depicted in a "sexy" sort of way they are said to look yiffy. Yiffy can also refer to any piece of literature or visual artwork that has a level of sexuality that is about PG-13 and up. If the artwork is R and especially if it is X or higher it is often called "Furrotica." If you have a great disdain for Furrotica/hard-core yiffy you are considered a "burned furry."

If you are interested in furry art you can go to (censored). They have over 600+ artists to chose from and a furry search engine. Since there are so many artists' pages to chose from I have selected the very best. They are: AlphaFox, Cullen, Animus, Tor, Bucky, and Atara. The first five are all visual artists while Atara is a writer. Of them all AlphaFox and Cullen are THE most talented, and probably the most Furrotic. These are by no means the only talented artists in the furry community, I just think they are either the most original or the absolute best. Each of the six artists' sites are worth at least two hours of viewing.

Furrotica isn't just limited to the Internet. Radio Comics has a comic book line called "Genis". It's basically about demihumans having sex, which is exactly what you probably expected. Some issues were really cheesy and others were very good. A real mixed bag. FYI, the Japanese have furrotic comics, too. I saw one that had that wolf character from "Night Stalkers" in it.

Well, I hope that you have found this letter informative.

Sincerely,
-A Former Furry

P.S. Just remember that yiffy was invented long before Conker's BFD was a gleam in its conceiver's eye.

Chad: Yes, that was the joke. The file name, rarewarebestiality.jpg may have helped to give away the actual pun, but kudos if you didn't view source. It was just a joke, mind you.

I'd just like to thank you for such a well-written, informative letter. While the topic is open to controversy, this is one of the most informative, intelligent letters I've ever recieved.

Also, thanks for the low-down on the "furrotic" art industry. I had no idea cartoon animal porn was such a huge subculture. K. Rool, though, after countless failures in defeating the Kongs, has decided to take his talents to the furrotica spectrum of fictional character occupations.





was the infamous spirit of that line hidden within the meat of htis game?
-SeanMR68@aol.com

Ben: Once again: sometimes I worry about the quality of letters we receive. I'm not sure I was prepared for letters like this when I first signed on...



You don't have much?! I believe you should start all that feces flinging again. Head over to IGN and see what I mean. Okay here's something else for you. A pic of a certain boss from Conker's BFD. Name: Great Mighty Poo Description: Digusting mound of s**t. Wanted for grossing out people and disturbing the peace w/ his loud, obnoxious singing. Here's the only photograph I got. There's probably more. [Unable to display image]
-Ness554@aol.com

PS: Maybe you guys would make cool ideas for BFD sequel.

Slush: Dude, seriously. If there's one thing you constantly do that pisses me off, it's putting images in your e-mails. You know why? They never show up for me, hence [Unable to display image].

Oh, and we're vile human beings. We're the reason the American economy is heading into a recession. We're the reason Iraq is getting bombed. We're the reason your mom is such a whore. Get over it, and let us be as crude as we want to be.





Dear sir,
I am over 3000 years old and would like to send a stupid letter filled with stupid questuions to you. Naturally, I'm kidding about the 3000 years old bit, but this is a stupid letter filled with stupid questions. First off, this is my very first letter to the website, and I would lke to say that I love the humor on your site. Even though there are a few things I disagree with(i.e. The Wario and Waluigi are Nazis Article) but I will not question your opinion, because you have the right to put it on your site. And besides, if I object to anything you say, you'll just bring up some facts that I overlooked, make me look stupid, and laugh at me. Anyway, here are the questions:

1) I am a big fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus, are you or anyone else that works on the site a fan too? I'm just wondering..
2)KLUNGO!!! What role do you think that Klungo will play in the next Banjo game? I think he might play a Crankyesque role where he gives potions to our heroes, or he could do some sort of cameo of him sitting at a desk, or maybe..He'll go in a mad quest to capture Mr. Pants!
3)DESTROY CRYSTAL COCONUT!! DESTROY PIKACHU!! DESTROY BLUSTER KONG!!! Like you, I HATE that damn DK Cartoon and Pikachu! I say we fill the artwork section with Bluster Kong and Crystal Coconut being DESTROYED!! How about it? BURN, BLUSTER, BURN!!!
4) What do you think about Sabreman? I think that his seemingly gibberish words,"Perhaps I'll ride a dolphin," is a hint at a new game on GAMECUBE for Sabreman...At least I hope it is..I'd like to see that old dude in a new adventure beating the tar out of his enemies..Yahoo!
5)What would you do for a Klondike bar?
6) I recently beat the hell out of Grunty in Banjo-Tooie. But during one of my attempts she asked me a very strange question,"What number am I thinking?" the choices were 1, 2, and 3. I guessed 2 and it was right. Anyway this is more than one question: Has she ever asked you this? What did you answer if she did? And was it right? I need this information for a stupid theory of mine that has nothing to do with the Connection. No, really, it doesn't.
7)My last question, why is the bulletin board closed down? Now, before you answer I would like to point out that I am new to your site and I am too lazy to read past letters asking the same questions or to look at old Updates. Eh, Maybe I will after I finish this letter.

Anway, I hope that you will answer my questions and put this letter on your page. And keep up the great work on the page!
-Super Shy Guy

PS: I am sorry if I have pissed off any fans of the Donkey Kong cartoon with this letter(if shown). Like Chad, I also have the right to express my own opinions

Chad: About time I took care of this Nazi thing once and for all. I've seen it cause more controversy than necessary on at least three bulletin boards. Now, listen up: THE WHOLE THING WAS A JOKE. I don't know why you people actually thought I was serious about that thing. The update for that day even said "bask in the ironic humor of it all". It was just a joke. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm in the middle of a feature on Toad's ties to Charlie Manson.

What, you have questions? Oh, balls. Here we go...
1. Indeed. Ben and I love the show as well as the movies (though I was a bit disappointed with Meaning of Life - it didn't flow together as a narrative as well as the first two). As for Slush, I'm fairly certain he thinks Monty Python is a kind of snake.
2. Apart from the ever-cliche'd Mr. Pants statement, I think Klungo will probably have a potion-dispensing role in B-3 (or whatever it'll be called). Hopefully he'll be controllable in at least a single mini-game. Running around as Klungo would be a highlight of my game playing career.
3. Agreed.
4. Oh, definitely. I think this is the most obvious confirmation of a GAMECUBE title we've seen since Retro Studios slipped up and posted "Come work on the next Metroid game" on their site. Rare definitely is or will be working on a Sabre Wulf game in the future. I'd really like to get to cover the game on dkvine, so I certainly hope they throw in a slight cameo. After all, Sabreman's been to Mumbo's Mountain...
5. You don't want to know.
6. I don't think she ever asked me that, but it's probably just a gag question. I'd assume every choice was correct.
7. It's not down any more. Baby no!

P.S. Well, you certainly can't have pissed them off more than we did in the first few editions of Letters. Ah, those were the days.
Actually, no they weren't. We sucked then.





Hi, I have a problem with a Donkey Kong Country stage and I was wondering f you knew any cheats or had any advice you could give me!
I have gotten up to 'Bumble B Rumble' and can't get past it, how many times do you have to hit the bee with the barral's?????
I have a bet going with my younger brother, to see how far I can get ( he doesn't think I can finish the game because I'm a girl, I've done alright I think!) Anyway, do you think you could help me?????
-Danica

Ben: Okey dokey, Bumble B. Rumble's not really that hard. What you'll need to do is pick up and throw the barrels that appear while she's yellow, and while she's red just dodge him. (Queen B.'s pattern is pretty predictable, she just keeps flying up and down while going left and right.) I think it's five hits to get rid of her.

And don't worry, you should be right finishing the game - just don't suck, that's all. You seem to be doing all right so far. Cheers!




I'm sorry for how I acted in my last few posts, to be honest, I was intentionally acting like a jerk to see Pikachu mutalating pictures. Plus I was mad cause you made fun of Digimon.

Anyway, I'm glad you support the fact that there's probably still a BK/BT connection.I believe it's still there, but i think it's nothing high-tech. I assume it's nothing more then the boulders in Grunty's Lair blowing up and you exploring the BT levels.

Also, about your SSB2 article, I think when you hit Yoshi, you must have started sniffing some glue. If you seriously had to choose partners for everyone, what would it be?

And I want to here how to meet the Sprit of the Line "I have a bad feeling about this"
-Grllawoyer@aol.com

Slush: Yeah, we'll probably make less enemies now that our Pikachu mutilating days are over (for now). And as I said before, Digimon may have come first, but then they transformed the premise into a Pokemon clone with cartoons and such. I don't really care though, because Pokemon and Digimon can lick me. They're both, for the most part, dead fads.

I don't sniff glue either. It was the pot in the brownies that my hippie neighbor gave me. Potent stuff, it was. Oh, and if you want to know how to get the the Spirit of the Line, like I said before, ask Chad or Ben. I don't have it.





Chad, in bemoaning the European release date mess, said:

This would be a real shame not only because Rare, an England-based company, made it, but a lot of the humor in the game will go straight over the heads of most Americans.


Oh indeed? Initially, I was irritated by this overbroad generalization. Irritated because just as Americans are fed stereotypes about the British, the British are fed stereotypes about Americans. I wanted to send a fiery email pointing out just how wrong the above preconception is, using myself as an example. British humor is practically an obsession of mine.

No, I'm not just another American who thinks the length and breadth of British humor is Monty Python, Benny Hill or Are You Being Served?. Its much more unhealthy than that. I order PAL videos all the time (and have them converted) in order to see shows or movies that never make it over here. I scour ebayUK and beyond to find any anything that might pique my interest.

Of course, I wanted to cite myself as an example to show how Americans are able to "decipher" English humor. Then I realized that I may in fact be the only American who is obsessed enough to order PAL versions of the entire series of "Bottom" including the outtakes video and the three live shows. So I stopped being so irritated because for the most part, you're might be right. Though of course John Glenn (a onetime Bond director) once said something that I think is more accurate: "Americans can't do irony. They don't understand it enough to perform it and carry it off successfully. But they do love it, and find it extraordinarily funny." I imagine that is fairly true for reasons that seem far too involved to get into here.

Still, all said and done, I hate to be lumped into a stereotyped group and have broad and wildly inaccurate assumptions made about my ability to appreciate the basic ironic nature of the sort of humor planned for BFD. I don't presume you talk with an Oxford accent and spend your afternoons eating crumpets before you play polo with Mater and Pater. Nor do I presume you are a Cockney from the docklands who goes to the Green Man pub and gets into a row over a game of draughts.

And, no, I don't wear a cowboy hat.
-Steve Marseille

Chad: Oh indeed? Very much so. Please note that I said most Americans. "Most" indicates the majority, not the entirety. And what's this about me being British? I'm as American as steak and kidney pie.

I live in Texas, and even I don't wear a cowboy hat. (when I'm sober)




Even more Conker goodness at IGN64!
-Ness554@aol.com

PS: I still hate you for being sickos and morons.

Slush: I still hate you for the death of Tito Puente (which I've blamed you for, by the way).




Ok, in the last update, someone said that IF you enter a certain number of cheat codes. Grunty will erase all your saved data. Is this true??? If it is, can it delete the eggs and key??? I don't care if that means to pass the game again, I'll pass it thousands of times to get rid of the eggs and key. Thanx for your help
-Santiago

Chad: Hey, Mr. Lopez, good to see you don't hold any grudges. Yes, they absolutely will format your cartidge, and I'd assume the eggs and key would be deleted as well, but don't quote me. It's just a guess. You can always just wait it out, and see if you're screwed or not for jumping the gun. Haw haw.



I found something you've already noticed! But I feel like telling you anyway and you'll have to live with that. I was looking at your Japanese Logos page (What a weird language) and found something very interesting in the Mario Party 3 logo... under DK who is throwing coins at people is this weird Princess Toadstool lookalike wearing a yellow dress with a blue P. But it can't be Princess Toadstool because she's in the picture! Who is this mysterious woman/man? Is it Papeach? Ptoadstool? Her name has to start with a P... or does it? Muahahahahaha!
-SpaceCoyote6@aol.com

Oh, wait, it's Princess Daisy. What a bitch she is.
-SpaceCoyote6@aol.com

Slush: Agreed. She debuted in a Game Boy game, was in a golf game for the NES, wormed her way into the atrocious movie, returned after years of exile in Mario Tennis, and now she thinks she's some sort of princess. Oh well. She's better than somebody like Toad. What a cunt he is.




you got a cool site.......can i ask one question? where did you get the bamboo borders? i love that. i am redoing my personal website in a JUNGLE theme and that is soo cool.
-the_fraggle_@hotmail.com

Chad: I made them. Infini-D 4.1 is a fairly crappy spline modeler, but with something simple like the bamboo stalks, it worked out nicely. I also used it for the leaves on the logo's vine.




Do you know how I can download Donkey Kong Country 1, 2 and 3 for my pc for free?
-Paul

Ben: No, I don't. Now, how about I report you to the IDSA? Just buy the goddamn game if you want to play it. It's quite a simple concept.

Chad: No, now why don't..... oh, balls. Looks like Ben already answered this one, when you had crossdressed yourself as "Jennifer". Or vice-versa, for that matter. Anyway, please don't send e-mails to multiple staff. It'll get answered one way or another, trust me.




you smell like my butt
-mastercoolkid@hotmail.com

Slush: You've got a very sensual smelling butt, then.




Im writing about the Why the BK codes are not Legit topic. how do we know that you just didnt edit the text bubble? I mena, its been done before a lot to mess with people. And wouldnt we of heard of this before.
-Nick

Slush: Uh...because we don't do the kind of sh-t you would see on the RareNet Message Boards? We're a semi-respectable establishment, and we don't get our jollies trying to fool people into believing jellyfish codes or some bunk like that (unless it's in a parody environment). Besides, we swiped the picture off of YBK. Excuse us for living. While we don't provide fake codes to get the connection to work, we'd still like to know the real way. Maybe we should ask Lars Ulrich, drummer for Metallica, if he knows how to get those B-K secrets over to Banjo-Tooie...



"I look so smug, don't I? That's because the Supreme Court loves me, and me alone! I'd tell you how to get the Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie connection to work, but why tell you for free? You're going to have to shell out 16 bucks individually to get something from me ever again!"

Well, Lars Ulrich sure is a bastard, isn't he? Who out there can give us a clear answer? Tune in next time for "What's the Deal With That Connection?"





Well, something pretty depressing happened today. I was channel surfing, and mumbling to myself, "Rugrats, Winnie-the-Pooh, Arthur, Lord Harry, Judge Judy...Wait."

Looks like everyone's favorite computer-animated piece of crud is still on the air. I only hope that new episodes aren't being made. The strange thing was that some of the characters were slightly redesigned. Donkey's fur was more like the DK64 fur than the DKC one, Cranky had different designs for his hair, Diddy was a little bit more on model(Still not perfect, though), and K. Rool(Oh, sorry, Kuh-rool)had actual scales and brighter green skin. You'd think that with improved designs, the show would be better, but no. Donkey's voice is still high, Diddy still sounds horrible, Candy is still a male orangutan from a Join the Army poster, Bluster is still there, and the story still revolved around the ****ing Crystal Coconut(Strange, they didn't mention picnics). The interesting thing was that I didn't hear any songs(I only saw the last 10 minutes, so I'm not sure). The show isn't much better than it was before, so I don't think you should take the time to watch it. Fox Family sucks anyway.

Gah, this Conker feud in my family keeps going back and forth. My mom is considering it, but my dad said that he didn't even want the IGN previews in his house. I really don't know why they think it's nothing I've seen before. I think I'll only bring this topic up again when the final decision is made.

I'm glad you like my Artworks.
-Behonkiss

Chad: Hmm, I've heard other people say that it's gone entirely. Must be different for various local FOX Family affiliates. All they show anyway are crappy reject cartoons (like Dyno Mutts) and about anything the Olsen Twins have laid their grubby hands on. The day FOX Family buys Full House in syndication is the day I get my cable shut off.



i know the full name of Gruntilda and Brentilda in banjo-kazooie : the full name is Gruntilda Winkybunion
-joyce035@videotron.com

Slush: (Spits out coffee) STOP THE PRESSES! I'VE GOT TO GO BACK IN TIME MONTHS AGO SO I CAN MAKE THIS NEWSWORTHY AGAIN!




I read the Fun pointles (and often Dangerous) things to do feature and i had to have emergency sergery because my sides split open. i was plaing DKC ( For old times sake ) and noticed a spot in the 3rd level ( Reptile Rumble ) near the end were there is a bunch of tires in a staircase. I find it fun ( and pointless ) to continually role down this spot. So mabye dear king Chad of all Creation and joy maybe you could put this spot in your feature.
-export@ant.eastlink.ca

P.S. Not that i'm pushing.

Chad: Thanks for the compliments. I may add your little anecdote in the future, but I'm currently in the midst of another Feature that I meant to have up last weekend. Let's shoot for this Saturday, shall we?

P.S. No, of course not.





IN DOKNEY KON 64, WHER DEW I FID THA SROLL OFF GAYMPYAL???/// PLES TEWLL ME BECOUSE I NED TEW FID IT TEW UNLOK THA HIDEN DOINKY KOUN 4 GAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111

Ah, the power of cheese. Following that, thanks for reopening the Bulliten Board, great job on the design, and now I'll show you my dumb quote of the week.

"POKEMON ROKS THA HOES!!!!!!!!111"-PIIKACHU12@aol.com, June 1999.
-Ultimate GCS

Chad: Right, thanks. I hope you enjoy the bulletin board. And what's so dumb about that quote? Pokemon sure rocks my hoes!



Just a question - why does EVERY character have to be born on Tiger Island? EVERYONE was born there, accorsing to your biographies! It's sort of annoying, and at the same time, stupid. At least someone should be born on Spiral Mountain or somewhere other than Tiger Island.
-SpaceCoyote6@aol.com

Slush: In the DKC and DKL games, the only characters that could talk were Kongs, Bears, and Kremlings (parrots can too, but that's because they're parrots). Other animals like rhinos and the such were regular, non-talking critters. When DKR hit the shelves, that all changed. Suddenly almost every new character that was introduced was a talker, and it didn't matter what species it was. Since it was already in the DKR story that Wizpig wrecked homes and made people homeless, the "immigrant" thing was whipped up by us to help explain why talking animals that shouldn't be talking were popping up on DK Island and beyond. We know, we know, it's a shitload of immigrants. Now though, characters are starting to be born in the places where their parents moved, and we're sure in the coming year there may be a new source for talking animals (maybe introduced in BFD). By the way, Spiral Mountain is too small to have many characters born there. The only ones that live in that location are Banjo and Kazooie (and the three vegetables).




g'day
i need help
my son got a ntsc usa version of banjo tooie for christmas and although we have a universal games adaptor v4 and can play other ntsc games this one is confounding us as we cannot find a game it is compatible with -- any ideas?
-leo

Chad: Whoo, I have no idea. Ben's had his fair share of NTSC games, so he knows all about conversion. Let me toss this one to him...

Ben: Most likely you're getting a black screen when you try to run Tooie, right? I'd presume that's what's happening, but you didn't say. I used to have a Blaze v4 Converter too, and it wouldn't play any games made later than 1998, I think it was. You've got two choices: you can either buy the PAL version of Tooie, which is out by now anyway, or you can buy either a newer converter or a modded NTSC N64 - either of these will allow you to play your NTSC version of Tooie. I get my Converter stuff from www.blade.cc - they're not too bad, although their website is pants. Call them up instead: there's a number on the site.





I have had this game for many years now, and I still can't get 100%. It is very frustrating to know that I'm too stupid to find all the secrets, especially when my 6 yr. old cousin did with no problem. Do you know where I could find these secrets?
-MistyKathleen00@aol.com

Chad: Sure, I can help you, despite not knowing which of eight possible games you're referring to.




Do you know the name of the inventor of Donkey Kong?
-wade

Chad: Shigeru Miyamoto.




-Crzy4my2cs@aol.com

Slush: This is my kind of e-mail. Blank, and to the point. It sure makes it easier to read, and in the end I feel good that I wasn't chewed out for the tenth time today. This deserves a Mr. Mooney Award. Ye-us!




Hello Chad,
Hmm...a questions-only letter. Who doesn't love these?
1.) I don't want to sound intrusive, but are you going to allow certain trusted posters to help moderate specific sections of the Bulletin Board, or will Our Friend be the full-time flamer?
2.) Couldn't help but notice that under each user name there is a subtitle, such as "Drone", "Kong", or "Queen Banana Bird". Is it possible to advance beyond the "Drone" level, such as posting a certain number of messages?
3.) Is there anything that you hate worse than RareNet? That's all the questions I can think of...
::clicks send::
::thinks of a question that should have been asked:: ^^
-SirNick//

Chad: Questions. Yahoo.
1. No, I'm fairly sure Our Friend will be taking the boards under his wing for the stretch. That said, I don't want to rule out the possibility entirely.
2. Yes, you could move up to "Animal Helper", but we decided that four levels didn't truly represent the DKC hierarchy. We're working on putting more intervals on it.
3. Hitler. And.... um...
