Introduction

Welcome to this week's issue of The Sharks News. This week we have different features and a semi-different layout. Enjoy!


Club News

A lot is happening right now in the Sharks. Member activity is still on the rise, many, many people have signed up for jobs, and the club is gaining a splendid array of new features.

I have finally solved all of the AOL problems, so now we should be able to continue with meetings and the newsletter without delays and cancellations.

Probably one of the biggest things in everyone's mind is the upcoming elections, please look at the elections section of this issue for voting information!

Many people lost their ranks when EB0und reset them, if you'll please simply mail me your rank prior to this, I wil be glad to give it back to you. If you don't mail me about it, you will not get your rank back, this is the last week I'm going to allow this. For further information refer to the ranks section.

Tokens are back, and so are a new set of jobs. I hope you will refer to the Jobs section to sign up for some if you haven't already done so. If you wish to know anything about the new tokens system, or are just curious to see who already has some, please go to the tokens section.

I'm sure you have all noticed, that the NL color has been changed back to black type and green background. If you despise these colors and have something to say,

Elections

I'm pretty sure this will be the most read section in the whole NL. :) We had a LOT of people run for positions, so take your time...read their speeches...and well..VOTE. :)

BRONZE SHARK

OaPika64

Good Day everyone, I am OaPika64. I have been in The Sharks since Sector took over 2 years ago. Ever since Sec left The Sharks have been in a downward spiral. I believe that strong recruiters and strong leadership can lead to more members. Also a fashionable website can bring thoughts to AOL members that have played EarthBound. The Sharks need help now before it too late. Vote for me and help The Sharks!

-Bronze Shark Candidate
OaPika64

JAWSEATS2

I would like to run for the Bronze Shark place! I have been with the sharks for a while and have great ideas to help rebuild the club!

Yeerk543

Hey all you Sharks I'm running for SVP(Bronze Shark), Obviously. Well,as SVP I will do my best to prevent wars with other clubs, some thing I've done about 2 times for the Sharks,try and make anything that you Sharks want possible, and I will help with anything that the members or presidents might need help with,such as NL's, Web Pages,etc.And now the hard part....Vote for Me.

NikeBoy453

I've been in the club for nearly 2 years and I have lots of experience; its just that no one gave me promotions.

JAY3983

Hey Sharks, Jay3983 here with a speech on why I think I'd make a good Senior Vice President. I feel as though I am well qualified for this position.

Reasons why I think I am qualified

-I've been in the sharks since the 23rd newsletter, close to a year I think. Two weeks into being a new member, I was Shark of the Week, but since then haven't gotton it again. I've done a lot of work for the Sharks, being active, recruiting members, writing newsletter articles, and helping any way I can. Currently my rank is Premeire Shark, I was also the first ever Premeire Shark along with Cerineth.
Lately i've been typing articles for the newsletters. I've typed all of the charts in the strategy guide "Goods, Weapons, Items, Armor, etc." And I have started to type the EB Focus Area's also.

-That is just what I have done in the Sharks as a member, I've also been a President of my own club for close to a year. I know what it's like to be a leader. I Know what it's like to have a succesful club. I know what it's like to have a struggeling club. I know what it's like to be swamped with 250 e-mails after a newsletter is sent out. And I know what it's like to be up til 3 in the morning, putting the finishing touches on a newsletter.
-Being the President of my club, I have written every single newsletter by myself, the only help I get is from members sending in material. Under my leadership I put together a club that had nearly 250 members at one point, and 5 club websites at one point. Right now after a huge setback in the club, we have around 120 membersm all active, and 3 websites. I lost everything in my fav places and personal filing cabinet, which had everything related to my club, including the member list and old newsletters. But I didn't give up after that. I searched and I searched, finally I found someone who had the last newsletter, and I used the names off of the ranks list to start the club back up again. I never gave up.

This may sound silly, but, I've got good people skills, hehe. I'm not a leader who will ignore the members. I enjoy talking with the members, wether it be about wrestling, music, video games, how they just beat EB for the first time, anything.
A lot of new members in my club have IM'ed me and since then we've become good friends and talk everyday. Without the members there would be no Sharks, we are what make the club. If your a new member and low in the ranks, don't get discouraged, work your hardest and work your way of the ranks, it's the best way to get noticed in the club. Look at me, when I came into this club I didn't know a single person. Now i'm one of the highest ranks, and I have a shot at becoming a leader. Stick in there guys, you'll be up where I am someday.


Why I want to be a Sharks leader

-Being in the sharks as long as I have, I've always wanted to be one of the leaders and guide the club, be one of the guys all of the members looked up to. Now i'm getting that chance.
-Another big reason is the slump the Sharks have been in lately. Ever since SectorX19 we haven't had a stable leader for more than a month. Don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to put any of the leaders down or anything, but a lot of the members and some leaders are turning on the Sharks, and i'm getting tired of it. All I want to do is bring back the Sharks to when people couldn't get into meetings because the rooms were full, back to when everyone got a long.
-Being the president of my club has gotton a little boring, I'd like to try something new for a change. My club is based on the U.S released Final Fantasy games. While I love all these games and would die without them I'd like to try and lead an EB club for a change.

Iron Shark


Aeris500

Hello, if you don't know me, or don't remember me, (and you probably don't) I'm Aeris500. Now I have more time on my hands than I when I used to be busy, busy, busy. I will help the club to the best of my ability, and if you were here a while back you'll know that. I was Shark of the Week twice because I always helped to find new members, and I was a regular participant in the message board. Now I'm getting more time, now that I've finished every single video game I've been trying to beat. Please vote for me, and I will do my best for the club!!

Kjleftin

If I ran for Iron shark, I would bring the sharks back to it's peak (with the help of EB0, EBG Dragon, and the AVP.) The club would be like it was when SeC Was leading. I don't know how many of you were here when SeC was leading, but the sharks acutally had meetings that filled the chat room, newsletters were not big, but had a lot of good stuff in it that people liked to read. I would help bring all this back, with more new things. I have been with the sharks since SeC was Catapult19. Please vote for me to be the Iron Shark.

TAILS825

Hi! Tails825 here!!! Im running for the rank of Iron shark!!! If I am elected, i will do as much as possible to make this club better for all of you peeps out there who like this club. I will send in voting things, articles, and other things that the sharks might like. I'm not just doing this for myself, i'm doing this for the citizens of this club!!! We will give good NLs to the people, and all people have the right to stay in this club(except for the peeps who want this club dead). Thank you.

Tails825
Shark lvl 1

NeoCid

Hey all, it's Cid..that guy that used to participate lots in Earthbound clubs. Uhh...I decided to run for the Iron Shark Rank because my rank allowed it and it'd be fun to be real active with EB again. Okay..to start of my speech I'll talk about my history with EB Clubs. Ok...Long ago you may remember AON? I do..Well after that shit with Loma and good stuff like that I decided 'Hell, Earthbound kicks ass so I'll join the Sharks!'
LOL, that may have been what caused me to loose interest in the real world. I've been with the sharks ever since then which has been a long time(I'm not one to record dates of when I join/create clubs :P)
I frequented meetings..then SeC left and I joined the EB Gang and is/was semi active in there and yeah.
Now on to why you vote for me..and only me for Iron Shark...Well, for started, I like the internet. I'll get the job done as long as some club members take notice of what I do(All my clubs have failed quite patheticallly)
I can type pretty fast..so doing all those long articles and stuff(Like this) won't be a bitch to me and everyone else waiting for it to get done.
Oh yeah...I guess I have good leadership skillz.
I'm the kinda emotional on the field dude for the extremely bad football team I play on..but uhhh I think I'll start to stop now...
Oh yeah, my english teacher says I'm 'intellectually(did I spell it right?) sharp' so THERE...and remember..vote for me!
~-~-~CiD~-~-~

TMGiygas

Look Everybody, I may not be the most popular kid around, but I want to get the Sharks back on the fast rack, an, as your Iron Shark, I intend to raise the membership up to what it once was, I don't think I could do as good as SeC or BLu in getting members, but I will try. Also, I will try to keep corruption to a low point. I know Corruption isn't much of a problem, but you could always do better when there aren't any people using the leader. Also, I want to try to get a new rank system in order, one that, I think, will be much more fun (not that the one now isn't fun), most of it will stay the same, but I will take out a few and add some (maybe).

Vote For Iron Shark!

Saturn Valley Travel Steps
Talk to all the Mr. Saturns

They don't really tell you much, but one of them will tell you the password to get into the Belch Base. The password is, when the guard asks for the password, do not press anything. Stand still for 3 minutes without pressing anything and you will be let in. Go get a snack or something while waiting.

Give the password at Belch's Base
Read above. Wait 3 minutes behind the water fall.
