Here's a web site dedicated to "The Monkey Roleplaying Game": http://members.madasafish.com/~newtus/mtroll/monkey/ It's currently at "Alpha" stage, and here's some information from the intro page: "I am looking for play testers, who will receive a book copy of the final version and a credit, and Artists, who can do traditional style Chinese black and white illustrations." If you think you can help, with testing and / or artwork, go to the web site, and post a message to the forum.

On Monday 30 October 2000, "Let's Go Spiders" CD (Ace / Big Beat Records - CDWIKD 202) was released in the UK. It features many of the best known songs by the Japanese band The Spiders, which featured Masaaki Sakai. Tim Parnell mentioned a while ago that he managed to buy a copy of this CD from Tower Records in London. I had a look there in February, and they didn't have any more copies (in spite of the fact their computer said they still had 1 copy left in stock!). Well, it turns out that you can order this "Let's Go Spiders" CD from the Tower Records web site: http://www.towerrecords.com Here's the page described this CD: http://www.towerrecords.com/product.asp?discog=1&pfid=2262525 (you may need to copy and paste this URL together if it's broken over 2 lines) As well as showing a picture of the CD cover, it also allows you to RealAudio clips of 3 of the songs on this CD: - - Upside Down - - Ban Ban - - SPI Note: If you buy this CD from this web site, it will be shipped to you from Tower Records in the USA, so you'd need to pay shipping charges from the USA to your country (which is a little strange if you live in the UK, as it's a UK release that's been imported to the USA, and you'd be getting it posted back to the UK!) So even if you don't buy the CD - have a listen to these 3 sound clips for free! :) Howell _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. - -------------------------------------------------------------------- + List guidelines: http://www.geocities.com/saiyuuki/guidelines.html + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?

In the long-term, I think we'll all find these helpful): 1) The mailing list only allows postings from email addresses that are subscribed to either the monkey or monkey-digest mailing list. If you have more than one email address, and one of these is subscribed to the mailing list but the other isn't, if you post a message to the mailing list from your address that isn't subscribed to the mailing list, it will bounce to me for approval. If I recognise your name, I'll approve the message and send it on. However, to prevent your messages bouncing - if you wish to email from your non-member email address most of the time, it's better that you swap your email address that's subscribed to the mailing list. Drop me an email at owner-monkey@valinor.eldar.org, telling me your old and new addresses, and I'll do the swap for you. This situation will sometimes arise if your mail configuration is such that you subscribe to the mailing list using one email address, and this may be the address that everyone emails you at, but this is different from the From address that appears on your outgoing emails. Two examples of why this could happen are as follows: (a) if your email address was: bob@bob.com But when you send outgoing emails, your From email address appears as: bob@mail.bob.com In this case, to allow you to both receive and post messages, it's best that you swap your email address to the second one (i.e. the one that appears as your From address) (b) if you use a mail forwarding service, such as bigfoot.com, mail.com, yahoo.com, or you forward your emails from Microsoft Outlook etc. You may have subscribed to the mailing list under your "permanent" email address, but when you post to the mailing list, you may prefer to use your email address that your mailing list emails are forwarded to. In this case, I'd recommend that you don't subscribe your forwarding email address, but that you subscribe your actual email address, to allow you to post to the mailing list easily. 2) When sending a message to the mailing list, always ensure that the subject of your message matches the content, i.e. it gives an indication of what the content is about. If, for example, you reply to a mailing list message with the subject "[monkey] Monkey Videos", but you want to talk about buying the Monkey soundtrack CDs. By default, your message would have the subject "Re: [monkey] Monkey Videos", and it would contain the previous message about Monkey videos - but your reply would have no relevance to either the subject or the content. In this case, you should: - - Change the subject of your message to something more relevant, e.g. "Monkey soundtrack CDs?", and - - Delete the previous message content that talks about Monkey videos, since you're not really replying to it - you're talking about something different. Ideally, when you want to send a message to the mailing list about a different topic, you should send a new message to the mailing list posting address (as opposed to replying to a previous message), and you should type a new subject line and message. However, if you choose to write a new message by replying to an old one, please ensure you update the subject line to something relevant, and also delete all traces of the previous message. I've added these new guidelines to the guidelines web page: http://www.geocities.com/saiyuuki/guidelines.html Howell _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. - -------------------------------------------------------------------- + List guidelines: http://www.geocities.com/saiyuuki/guidelines.html + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?
