May 12, 2003 | Interested In Joining The Staff? New Positions Opened!
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Z3 Monster Strategy Guide - Section S Updated! ~ MCLoZ WebSite Stuff >> Meet the Staff of MCLoZ *Updated ~ MCLoZ WebSite Stuff >> Join the Castle Staff *Updated

CURRENT NEWS - *Sigh* Grassroots has not responded to any of my e-mails whatsoever so and since he's been gone for quite a long while I guess I really have no choice but to take him down off the list and find someone else to do the section. Also, me and Fire Link have both decided that... though his art is fantastic, he really does work too slow to meet my needs so the ever rare position of Graphics Designer is now OPEN! (Be wary when signing up, better read the Commentary). Well, if you are interested in joining the site and helping out, please hurry over to the Join the Staff page and fill out the form and wait until I get back to you with what you need to do.

COMMENTARY - The Graphics Designing position... ^_^ As simple as it may seem, it's not really going to be easy. As Starfe. I complain about pixel difference. The slightest thing wrong and I will ask him to fix it. I will be honest. This position requires FAST WORKERS! And I WILL nag if you don't meet the small "due date" I ask you to meet (Fire Link got tired of that). I ask that the work is done fast because I usually need it to continue whatever thing I'm working on THAT DAY when I send the e-mail and no one should really complain since the projects are, quite honestly, far few and in between. If you have any questions about the section and don't really trust me (I might sugar coat it) just IM or E-Mail Starfe and I'm sure he would LOVE to fill you in with all of the pains and trials he is put through. Now I'm making this sound like a horror job?! The monthly turn in does not apply since there are some months when I don't need anything done. I expect the graphics to be HIGH QUALITY and VERY GOOD. NO NEWBIES!! Starfe and I will both critique the assignment you turn in (which will be given when you turn in the form). If we have any complaints with it, I will either tell you to do it again or will tell you "Good-bye, no second try!" depending on how much you impressed us and the problems encountered.

May 10, 2003 | The Z3 Monster Strategy Guide Is Near Completion!!
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Z3 Monster Strategy Guide - Section P - R Updated!

CURRENT NEWS - P and R sections have been edited in the new style! I also had to go back through a few previous sections to add in some information I had forgotten to include... whoops... ^_^ I guess I forgot to think about the Woodlands and the complete area of the Death Mountain Foothills.

COMMENTARY - Don't forget to vote whether or not you are interested in a new design for MCLoZ!! Actually... I'm not too sure how I'm going to do a demo... I think I will actually have to make it for the front page to show it off. I will work on the "demo" (ok, let's just say design) when I'm done with the Z3 Bestiary.

Post Time: 1:53 PM EST


May 9, 2003 | Nope, No Monster Strategy Guide Stuff Yet!!
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Zelda Secrets and Oddities *For LttP: "Another Typo" by Dark Grapefruit / For FS: "Easy Rupees, Mario Style" also by Dark Grapefruit ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Items 50-53 by HyperLink and Zora Warrior ~ *New Zelda Poll 2

CURRENT NEWS - Ok, first the important stuff. ^_^ Our main three contributors have all passed in some very good stuff at the same time. Be sure to check them out, at the very least the List Items just for a few laughs. ~ Now, next thing... This design has currently been up for a year and three months (Yeah!!). However... *sigh* I guess I myself must be getting tired of the design and long for something new. ::Shrugs:: At least I'm in the mood suddenly to create a new one. However, before I do this I want everyone's opinion. So, I posted up a second Zelda Poll on the Zelda Poll page just beneath the one Ganondoof currently has going. PLEASE! Be sure to vote!!

COMMENTARY - "So, basically MagicFox, what will the new layout look like?" Actually ^_^ I don't really know. However, I do know this. It will be a full screen site (not the portioned screen like this one) and it will no doubt be the common side sections. LOL ^_^ Starfe is already complaining that he doesn't want a new design... that means more work for him to do. So, vote honestly!! If you guys vote "no" more than likely I will still produce a Version 7.1. That version wouldn't look too much different from this one but it will have a few touch up depending on what I decide. LOL. I never HAVE anything in my mind when I do a site. I just download a bunch of pictures, look at other sites, mix and match and rearrange and decide essentially what I want and then I create it!

I already have The Zelda Scrambler set up there and that needs more players, too. ^_^ And as much work as I've put into these, I think I will be regular poster myself. I've had some practice sticking around on Nathan's (of Zelda Domain) boards. And I really want these to work out.

May 6, 2003 | A Word From The One Staff Member No One Knows
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Z3 Monster Strategy Guide - Section D Updated!

CURRENT NEWS - I'm moving through these speedily today, yes? And I don't think anyone has a problem with that!! ^_^

COMMENTARY - *A black cat sits on the desk in front of MagicFox, his tail draped over the keyboard trying to block her typing fingers, while also trying to block the screen... if it weren't for the cup of pepsi MagicFox sat in the way - a very wise move for her* Max: "[Maxine]! My food bowls empty!! Mreeow!! Will you please tell that dumb dog to stay out of it!! [Maxine]!! Are you listening to me!! Mreeeeeoooow!!!" ::Blou runs up to see what the meowing is about. Max glares down at him:: Max: "Now's your time to do something, stupid!! Get your slimy bone and sit it on her lap or SOMETHING!! This is all your fault."

... I didn't say that this Staff Member was a constructive member, now did I? ^_^ He just likes to pester me and tries his very hardest to get me off the computer.

May 6, 2003 | Oooh... What Does This Button Do? *System Deleted*
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Zelda Secrets and Oddities *For LoZ: "Free Keys" by phobos ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Z3 Monster Strategy Guide - Section C Updated!

CURRENT NEWS - Hrrrm... ok phobos, I hope you know that with your Oddity you have made me feel like a fool since I didn't even think of that. (I didn't even know those walls were bombable.) ~ Ok, I have section C of the guide done and completed and THAT'S THAT! ~ The Zelda Scrambler is slightly... not in progress. We are having problems with the Forums and well ^_^ I'm getting some new ones that are going to be "mine!" and HOPEFULLY these will work and we can stick with them. ::Taps her foot:: Didn't I say a long time ago that I wasn't going to put this much fuss into the forums. Anyways, they'll HOPEFULLY be up today or tomorrow.

COMMENTARY - ::Fiddles with the forum settings:: Nightwolf is the one that is hosting them, so be greatful!! ^_^ I know I am. ::Winces:: Uhh... to those other few who offered forums to me, I'm sorry. Don't worry. If Nightwolf's don't work out I will try you guys out next. Sorry. ::Looks at the Administrative options on this:: I had meant to get Nightwolf to help me finish with this last night if my sister hadn't hogged up the comp. I really have no idea what the heck I'm doing. And I'm just too impatient to wait til tonight when I can ask Nightwolf questions or better... give it to Starfe!! (BTW, Starfe, you need to come up with a kewl picture to put up in the corner!!) ...I'm afraid that in a second I'm going to be like "oooh, what does this do" click it and then... OOPS, THERE GOES ALL MY HARD WORK!! ::Closes out and just decides to work more on the strategy guide:: It's safer this way. ...Oi! I'm a WebMaster not a Forum Administrator!! Give me a break!

May 5, 2003 | Where Else Can You Find A Fox Who Wears A Cat-Cap?
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Item 49 by Romiress Added ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Z3 Monster Strategy Guide - Sections A-B Updated!

CURRENT NEWS - Sorry, Romiress. I've had her item in my mailbox for a while. I just never got around to posting it up. ~ ::Grins:: How do you guys like the guide so far? I also did a tiny touch up to the Bosses but nothing many will be sure to notice. Just easier read stuff. Remember, if any of my information is inaccurate (especially with the Locations - I'm doing my best) please feel free to notify me at once!!

COMMENTARY - ::Puts on her sister's Cat-Ear Cap again and grins:: See? What other site on the web can you go to and find a webmistress who is not only a humanoid-fox but wears a cat-ear cap and likes to spin around in her chair?? I would hope no where else... Two MagicFoxes would NOT be good. I think one in the world is quite enough. ^_^ And I am proud to be that one!! ::Runs away:: I got more work to do on the Bestiary stuff. Sorry it's take a long while. This isn't easy, you know!

May 3, 2003 | MCLoZ - Celebrating Miyamoto Worshipping Since 1999
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Zelda Secrets and Oddities *For Four Swords: "Cultural Mix-Up" by HyperLink / For Majora's Mask: "Epilepsy" by Dark Grapefruit / For Oracle of Ages "Pointless Stairs" by HyperLink / For The Wind Waker: "Do Not Hit the Pig!" by Dark Grapefruit

CURRENT NEWS - All of them pretty good ones, actually!! ^_^ I also added in a LttP / Four Swords section (and moved one of the LttP Oddities into it). "Pointless Stairs" is a continuation of a really STRANGE glitch already posted named "Postman's Glitch". How many glitches are there in that one room alone?!

COMMENTARY - ^_^ Don't ask what possessed me to name this update that! I just wanted to put something funny there and that was the first thing that popped into my mind. ..I thought our Headlines were starting to get a little too boring and too serious. Not at all like how it use to be. Sorry people, I promise MagicFox will start lightening up a little more.

May 2, 2003 | A Very Quick Update ... Even Shorter Than Last Night's
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Link's Infinite List of Torture *Item 48 Added by OniLink12345

CURRENT NEWS - New LILoT Item!! ~ ::Taps her foot:: THAT'S NOT FUNNY to whoever screwed with the poll and decided to check off every single one and press submit. I'm going to talk to Ganondoof about that and if he wants I will take those votes off (and you won't get to vote again).

COMMENTARY - Ok, maybe not as quick as last night's. It got ruined by some bored punk who wanted to have fun with the poll. Get a life!

Post Time: 9:44 AM EST


May 2, 2003 | Wind Waker Part 3 Up!
UPDATES MADE - The Legends of Zelda >> LoZ: The Wind Waker >> The Game Walkthrough *Part 3 Added

CURRENT NEWS - Part 3 is up! My walkthrough nows goes up to The Tower Of The Gods! Have fun using it!

COMMENTARY - Don't forget to vote in the poll! I want feedback so I can make a better walkthrough!

Post Time: 7:04 AM EST


May 1, 2003 | A Quick Final Update And Then I'm Going To Bed
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> Zelda Secrets and Oddities *For AoL: "Quick Save!" by MagicFox / For TWW: "Into the Darkness" by Joy pendant

CURRENT NEWS - Oddities, we haven't had those in a while! Joy pendant has managed to stumble on another glitch in the game (proving yet again that no game can be glitch free)!

COMMENTARY - Nighty-night Zelda and MCLoZ Fans!! (*Gasp* Short Commentary? Haven't had that in a while!)

Post Time: 11:02 PM EST


May 1, 2003 | What Is It With 1st Of Months - Always A Lot Of Updates
UPDATES MADE - LoZ Related Articles >> The Beta Zelda Files >> TBZF Comments by Fans *MM File 7 and 8 Comment by Sensei Added ~ MCLoZ WebSite Stuff >> Join the Castle Staff *TBZF Assisstant Added ~ LoZ Related Articles >> Z3 Monster Strategy Guide *Bosses Update in New Format

CURRENT NEWS - Sensei has submitted some interesting comments about TBZF Majora's Mask files as well. Be sure to check them out! ~ *Sigh* According to the poll I guess I am not hiring up TBZF Assisstants. Please be sure to note that you must have some graphics experience to create thumbnails (unless you wanna try to convince Starfe into making thumbnails for every little picture you send in... ::looks at Starfe:: I don't think that will be possible. However, if you talk to Starfe and you both strike an agreement then I will let this rule slide by you). ~ Check out the new kewl design the Monster Guide is going to follow loaded up in the Bosses section. Ok, ok, not much of a big change. Just fonts and colors changed and Locations added and I also touched up the descriptions. What did you expect, though? Comments appreciated by anyone who feels like sending me an e-mail!

COMMENTARY - Oh and for those filling out the form, let me repeat this. Fill out the Join the Staff form does NOT NOT NOT mean you are immediately apart of the site. Filling out the form does not place you under any obligation to MCLoZ, either. When you fill out the form I will e-mail you the terms you need to fulfill that will prove your skilz to me and then I will THINK about letting you on. It's up to my discretion only!! (Also: Job descriptons are listed below the form!! Please READ them and stop signing up for a job that you have no clue about!!)

May 1, 2003 | The Zelda Poll - The Results Are In!! *Sniffle*
UPDATES MADE - *The Zelda Poll Changed

CURRENT NEWS - Results of the last poll: "Whould MagicFox Get Help For The Beta Zelda Files?" Yes - For All Games: 14 votes / Yes - Only for The Wind Waker: 7 votes / No! Only MagicFox: 4 votes. *Sniffle* I guess that means I will have to update my Join the Staff page and start recruiting people that would like to help with the Files. However, it's not going to be easy. GRRRRRRR This is one of my better sections and I'm NOT NOT NOT going to let "just anyone" on.

Ganondoof has asked me to post up a poll for him. ^_^ He's really worried his walkthrough isn't up to standard (*sigh* and he won't listen to me when I say it is). ::Shrugs:: So, head over to the poll and cast your own opinion vote style! The question is "What, if anything, should be improved on the Wind Waker Walk-through?" It will be up until May 18th. Be honest everyone!! I have also placed up his e-mail address so you can e-mail him and there's also always the viewer comments below the poll results.

COMMENTARY - I've casted my vote already ^_^. I said it was perfect!! ::Blinks:: I can participate, too, yes? I mean, it's not my poll this time :). I'm not the one asking the question, so that means I can vote, too? I hope so. 'Cause I did! Hee. See, a good website is also where the WebMaster can have just as much fun as her viewers!! Hee, Tata everyone!!
