I like having stuff like this public. Mostly to alert people of what I'm plotting to do next and stuff? I tend to ramble a lot though and props to you if you can pick apart what my point is.

See, look, I'm rambling again. :|

Current focus: WRITING.... I think. I can't stay focused very well, but that's what I want to work on. :V

Simple notes

• Japanese names -- not that anyone cares about this except myself! But I care about it quite a bit, so in they go. >:3 It just feels so much more complete with info on the Japanese games. imo. And hell if I know Japanese okayish (ja-2 or so orz) and have played all of the games in Japanese, of course I'll add info!
• Uploading images for articles
• Putting your vast knowledge of useless crap to use <-- GOTTA LOVE HOW I HAVEN'T DONE THAT AT ALL LOLOOLOLOLO seriously though I know way too much EB trivia for my own good, my god (note to self: dare people to attempt to find something I don't know more often, it's hilarious)
• Write up history sections for the games, focus less on the game plots themselves: however, this proves difficult to pull off, as writing comes much less naturally to me. It's definitely possible though (re: chapter pages, Lucas)
• BEEP BEEP WRITE STUFF!
  • Mother 3, mostly the history, putting up a brief synopsis, and linking to the chapter pages that you spent oh I don't know hours writing.
  • EarthBound 64 <--- this will be soooooooooo fun :33 I love EB64's history, even though it's so depressing at the same time!
  • Mother 1+2. Basically... everything.. about it. jegus
  • Mother (series)
  • Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo getting similar treatment like Lucas's page did. aka completely badass
• Get around to fixing up the status ailment page. lol I left this like, halfway unfinished due to a crappy attention span

FUN DESIGN REVISION STUFF YAY.

Now that we're in NIWA, I feel as though making the site not-ugly is a huge priority.

• Start creating more templates
  • Specifics: Revise the so-called "pretty" list of enemies - it works but hot damn that looks ugly.
• Item organization:
  • Mother
    • List of recovery items in Mother
    • List of equippable items in Mother (equippable sounds weird, any other ideas)
    • List of in-battle items in Mother
    • List of key items in Mother
    • List of miscellaneous items in Mother
  • EarthBound
    • List of recovery items in EarthBound
    • List of equippable items in EarthBound
    • List of in-battle items in EarthBound
    • List of key items in EarthBound
    • List of miscellaneous items in EarthBound
  • Mother 3
    • List of recovery items in Mother 3
    • List of equippable items in Mother 3
    • List of in-battle items in Mother 3
    • List of key items in Mother 3
    • List of miscellaneous items in Mother 3
• Making the item tables not look bland and crappy. This will be hard!
  • Versions: Armor/weapons, recovery, in-battle, misc and key items. A shop-specific one would be cool too.
• Find images for things-- find character sprites, scan in game boxes, and make useless icons for things when I get the chance. I can't get screenshots, though. Please note that I have a habit of lying a lot. Of course I can get screenshots. They are incredibly easy to get. What ever made you think otherwise?
  • Good progress on this so far! I'm mostly getting overworld sprites for characters, and any alternate sprites and stuff they may have. Probably going to scan more things from M1+2 and my M2 guide, as well.

Stuff to do out of boredom

• Drawing icons for the main page. I've done a couple but I hate how they came out. Actually, in general, I should work on prettying up the main page. The colors are nice but it's so empty. <_>
• Figure out what the hell is with that stray </div> in the copyright footer, wtf. (still have yet to figure this out)
• Continue lurking on Starmen. First posting plushies and doodles.. next, THE WORLD! MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!

The Backburner

Nothing here at the moment. Nothing specific anyway.

Site guidelines to implement..??

• Play nice! I have hopes for this place being friendly and open to its editors. I'm frankly tired of looking at places and seeing the staff treat everyone outside of their little circle like they're a pile of crap.
• On translations; For Mother 3 things... I apologize for not really talking to anyone first before going through with this, but I ended up using the fan translations for everything... haha. Although I know that it's not always direct, to make the translation more 'official' sounding, I'd still put the fan translation names in the English fields for templates and in articles, and then use the kana/direct translation for the little (Japanese: ) sections in articles. Did that make sense? I hope it did. See, this is why I don't write policy pages.
• Spruce up policy pages, and make them rather lighthearted and fun. It makes it a lot less of a bore for newcomers to read, and it fits the personality of the Mother series pretty well. Brought this up with other staff, sounded like it was agreed upon. Neat!

I sure do have a lot of work to do, huh.
