‘Maniacs Meet Epilogue!

That’s right, the second ‘Maniacs Meet has come and gone and this time we have actually finished the epilogue dedicated to it! I’ve learned from last time – this time we did it while the meet was still going on, rather than afterwards …. this way it was done pretty quickly. It looks long, but it’s actually a pretty quick read. This epilogue is pre-War since most of the ideas came from pre-War stuff …. and there was one or two continuity issues that had to be addressed that led into War. Pretty minor issues, but I don’t like having them in MM3 stories.

The Mechanical Maniacs have returned to action with a brand new story (for people who don’t frequent our forum anyhow). Maniacs on Patrol! For those who were somewhat daunted by the size of War, fear not! These are just a set of short stories made by Hadrian (Hardman) Howell and are MUCH shorter.

In other news there was another update on the site as well! Those in the know will figure out where to check.

The Business of War

April 6th, 2008

This is the big update for the Business of War! Namely that … it’s done. The ending has been posted at last! And, along with it, a whole slew of bonus features.

First off is a long-in-coming spoof ep by Spark Mandrill called The Bitch and the Beast. It’s set between stages 5 and 6, so I’m linking to it here.

There’s also the Business of War Gallery with art made during or for the event, along with sprites. Included is a picture by Needlegal (colored by me) …. which makes this the very first MM3 project with every single member of the team participating!

I’ve added Bright Babe’s War Sig to the gallery, as well as a Scissor Army sig I commissioned from Gren.

But that’s not all! Also updated is the list of Soldier Robots to include most of the robots Wily has used during the event as well as non-Rich Scissor Joes!

A Page Count is now up …. detailing just how long Business of War ended up being. Try not to be intimidated.

And, finally, Creator Commentaries have been posted from most of the participants that made it to the end. I give you all a friendly pat on the back and a firm handshake … you have made it through! All of you should be proud to be a part of the biggest event in the history of Megaman Teams. Despite every odd, and every obsticle War has reached it’s end and you have managed to stay on for the ride.

The Business of War is over.

So where was I for a month? Participating in our community event, that’s where!

Anyhow, after ALOT of work it’s all been transcribed and but into the Businessof War section on the site. And don’t be daunted by the sheer volume of things to read! Although reading them all will give you scope, I’ve marked down the necessary bits to the War and ‘Maniacs canon.

Also present are videos made by Anime Master about the War. It’s all there.

To avoid some confusion I’ve foreseen the Alliances list also includes the present Megaman team list (which includes RM aliases) as well as non-RM characters that you’ll see as villains.

Happy reading!

The epilogue section gets a MIGHTY update!

A new epilogue has been posted. The Rivalry, featuring the Wily Rescue Force and the Evil Eight!

But, that’s not all! Magnetman’s novella, Wanted, is finally up on the site! While it’s been on the forums for quite some time, this is the final version with all the finishing touches that polished a story off.

And, finally, a section on the Business of War has been posted. This is a community-spanning event, so it can’t be missed!

Megaman Mysteries, The War

Megaman Mysteries as been updated. Megaman 3 Mysteries getting a few more updates, amazingly enough. Found some more magazine scans and added a new screenshot of Megaman backside edited into the get weapons screen while rewriting that paragraph to reflect the new information. I also added a hacked rom (including emulator and savestate) showing Protoman “transforming” into Breakman.

I also rewrote the few paragraphs about Breakman. Some people thought that I thought Protoman was brainwashed. Well, I never did. So I rewrote that part of the article and added some information on Protoman’s story (that I was unaware of when I wrote first wrote the article).

Megaman X Mysteries now includes an unused frame for Valguarder’s head.

Misc. Classic Mysteries includes actual screenshots proving that, as everyone knows, the game *is* Rockman 8.5.

Expect some more information, especially concerning Megaman 7 and the EXE series. That stuff still needs to be organized some before I can include it.

In other news, Magnetman’s War project has started. A new subforum has been created for it. It’s a pretty exciting project in it’s scope and it includes almost all the classic series-based Megaman teams.

New Epilogue, Meeting Announcement

The conclusion to our 2-parter is up at last! Abuse of Technology finally reveals the identity of the chief of police! Oh and there’s some epic battle and stuff …

And now, a special announcement. Anyone whose coming to CNAnime might wanna look out for 6 conspicous people wearing MM3 shirts ….. because they’ll be the ‘Maniacs in the flesh! That’s right, six of the eight members are coming to Toronto to meet up in real life. And you can say hello (you stalker you). This is a first in the team scene so we’re all really stoked for it. Maybe you’ll even see me …. the mysterious Gauntlet! (Of course you won’t know who I am since nobody knows what I look like …. take THAT!)
