I am heading back home on Monday and I’ve decided to take tomorrow off. I think you’ll agree that I deserve a day off! Anyway, I’m going to use this last blog to update on all the topics I’ve discussed in the past week.
Übercaster: We recorded the most recent WTPT episode on it and I was less than impressed. It is a bit glitchy. Even still, I think we will be giving it another shot in the near future.
Gyms: This is getting really interesting. I have starting appointing the first eight founding members for each of two gyms and there is already a pretty strong buzz about it.
When we fill both groups, the founders will decide on a name for their gym, a badge name/design, battle rules and special conditions, methods for initiating new members and methods of deciding upon a gym leader. These discussions should be held some time this coming Friday night (EST). I will try to get the gym rooms up around Wednesday.
Contests: We are looking to make some ads to promote the show on PIRN and other podcasts. I figured it would be best to have you guys talk about what you like about the show rather than me and KC trying to sell ourselves. So, I am asking you all to send us voicemails about what you like about the show and why. Keep in mind you will be addressing potential new listeners, not me and KC. I am not sure that there will be any prize for this pseudo-contest. If you are looking for a way to help us out, this is a perfect opportunity.
Just to remind you, February 29th is the last day we will be accepting entries for the myth contest. Get those in asap! This contest will have a prize!
Skype Calls: Not much else to talk about here except to reiterate how interesting this is. People come into the conferences that don’t even have mics, just to listen in on the conversations.
Meet Up IRL: I looks like there will be more people coming from the Pokémon Times staff than I originally imagined. Arcanator will be in town, as well as Justin V. for the Smash Brothers Brawl release party in New York City. Stay tuned for more specific details about this.
Newsletter: As I mentioned on the latest podcast, we have a Google group for mass e-mailing our listeners. If you would like to join and receive updates from us instantly, please click here.
Pokémon Tabletop RPG: I didn’t mention this in the blog either, but it was mentioned in the podcast. This would be a cool project to work on in the future. *Adds one to the To-Do list.*
I think that just about covers everything. It has been a wonderful week. I am extremely happy that I had an opportunity to spend some serious time with you all on the chat room and working on the site. I will try to keep up with this blog as much as possible even when I’m not relaxing in the Orange Islands.
