I think this forum needs a sticky,

That includes what the book is about

Links to sites telling you about Max and his books

Information and links about the movie

And anything else that you might want to say.

A good idea?


What are your ideas people?


Anyone want to make one?

We've already had a discussion on this.

And, if I remember correctly, Hack said we don't need one because the theads hardly change from their position (i.e: all the threads about the book etc stay on the same page of the forum). It was something like that....

Kinda sorta, CE. Part of the other reason is I haven't taken the time to compile everthing.

i think we need a sticky just because like every other forum has one... hell sticky this i dont care, just as long as something is stickied

Kinda sorta, CE. Part of the other reason is I haven't taken the time to compile everthing.

Well, we can do that! :D

I was just thinking it would spice up the Forum a little, because i'm sure someone will want to have a Sticky, i mean i'll do it if there is enough interest :)

Oh, and another reason is because all of the other forums have a sticky and so this one shouldn't be left out.

And in the interest of equal time I nominate:

I would like a sticky....but I don't have any threads. :(

Meh, there are so many threads in here that to sticky one of them, it would make sense to sticky the other dozen or so. Which charecter would you like to be, will there really be a movie, who will you be, my two on favorite charecters, JG or Syrup (although mine get cluttered down, a new one perhaps?), pretty much anything by Schocken-Fowler, etc. Why not just leave things as they are?

Thanks for the sticky mods, i will work on a sticky, it should be ready in a few days, thanks again :D

Stuff seems to be unbolding itself, i give up, i'll finish it another day,

Some of those colors are kinda hard to read. Might be better just go monochrome, and use bold for the questions.

A couple of colors are 'K I have three plus black in the Tech FAQ. Of course one of them only occurs twice, but that'st sill three that I have reguarly in use.

I managed to sort out the boldings, but i don't trust my post so i am going to repost my sticky so if i mess it up, i have the original.

Hope You Don't Mind, :wink:

Guide To Jennifer Government And The Forum



I can't buy the books!!


The Link

:arrow: http://www.maxbarry.com/syrup/buy.html

:arrow: http://www.maxbarry.com/jennifergovernment/buy.html



What does the book have to do with the game anyway?


Max Barry made the game to promote the book, not the other way round.



What Is The Book About Anyway?


Syrup

Scat wants to be rich, shallow, and famous, so when he gets a million-dollar idea for a new soda, he realizes it's his ticket to movie premieres and vacuous, drink-slurred lunches with celebrities. But first he has to deal with 6, a street-smart, miniskirt-wearing corporate assassin, who is possibly the love of Scat's life or possibly just ripping him off. Then there's Sneaky Pete, marketing genius, refugee from Tokyo, and Scat's best friend—at least as far as Scat knows.


The gist of the book really, it's very good so pick it up and buy it!!!!
:arrow: http://www.maxbarry.com/syrup/

Jennifer Government

Welcome to paradise! The world is run by American corporations (except for a few deluded holdouts like the French); taxes are illegal; employees take the last names of the companies they work for; the Police and the NRA are publicly-traded security firms; and the U.S. government only investigates crimes it can bill for.

Hack Nike is a Merchandising Officer who discovers an all-new way to sell sneakers. Buy Mitsui is a stockbroker with a death-wish. Billy NRA is finding out that life in a private army isn't all snappy uniforms and code names. And Jennifer Government, a legendary agent with a barcode tattoo, is the consumer watchdog from hell.

The book is better than the game, so you know its good!!! :wink:

It took Max roughly 5 years to write, so please read it.

The Movie


Yes, hopefully there will be a NationStates Movie. Max said on the NS talk.

<Neutered_Sputniks> Purgutoria, you have a question?
<TheSLAGLands> We'll take more questions on the Jolt issue later.
<Pergutoria> Max, can you tell us more about the Jennifer Government movie that's planned? It seems everyone's interested.
<MaxBarry> Sure
<MaxBarry> My agent sold the film rights to Jennifer Government just over 2 years ago now, to Section Eight Films
<MaxBarry> which is run by Steve Soderbergh and George Clooney
<MaxBarry> This obviously rocks :)
<Pergutoria> *nice*
<MaxBarry> The way it works is the film company buys an option, which means they have a period of time to try to get a film into production
<MaxBarry> They pay me a relatively small amount of money for the option, with the promise of a big payday if the movie actually gets made
<MaxBarry> Section 8 had 18 months, and a couple of months ago they renewed it for another 18 months
<MaxBarry> During all this time, they've essentially been developing the screenplay
<MaxBarry> I've actually lost track of how many writers they've been through
<MaxBarry> but it's a lot :)
<MaxBarry> They want to get the screenplay right before they take the next step of attaching directors, cast, etc
* Reploid_Productions thinks it would rock if the mods got small parts in the film =p
<MaxBarry> heheh
<TheSLAGLands> Cameos by Granny Slag!
* Melkor thinks it would rock too
<MaxBarry> So there's not really any major news, apart from that they're developing it
<Pergutoria> So, will NationStates players be considered for extras?
* Treznor doubts he could get Peter Winfield to play his part.
<Karmabaijan> Alright, thanks Pergutoria.
<MaxBarry> Sadly, no. :)
* Cogitation wouldn't mind trying his hand at acting.
<Melkor> ok next q

So they are devoloping it at the present time, so if it comes out be sure to watch it. :wink:

Sorry, I just saw youre question now.
Just post a new one, alphabetized like SD did with the profiles, and ask for it stickied.

On a Mega Tau died, so the website listing is also up for grabs. If I didn't find updating the Tech forum FAQ whenever somebody adds something enough work (yes, I'm lazy), I'd nab that one myself.
