Awww, Marine, you're doin' fine! We like it when folks ask questions!

First off you didn't even get greeted right, and that's my fault. I'm supposed to be the sorta/official greeter. So see.. you've been at a disadvantage all this time cuz you don't have your browncoat.

I usually give folks browncoats ( yeah, you can't see 'em, but they're there!) and say howdy and give folks a little direction and I just sorta messed up on you. I also meant to answer your post on the other thread where you asked who 11th Hour was, but got called to come help my daughter in the kitchen, she was lifting heavy pans. So... let's get this straightened out.

Welcome home, Marine. I think you will love it here. I do. This is like my home away from home. Here you will find lots of folk of like mind and who love the 'verse as much as you do, and understand that very real feeling of loss.

Since you're new, you need your gear...

*hands Marine a browncoat, just like Mal's*

Now..if you and CK would like to head up a donut sendin' findin' committee why just go right on ahead. We're proud you're helpin' us think what to do!

CK, you're right and I think I will get started on those threads in the mornin'. We're sorta waitin' on a permanent spot that Haken was gonna do on the front page for a New Folks Area sort of, but I can see we're gettin' folks who need to know now, so I'll make some temporary q and a pages.

Thank you both and I'm sorry for any mix up.
Make yourself to home, Marine.

By the by, sir, thank you for your service to our country and to us. My father was career Army and I know what kind of sacrifice you make and your family too. Thank you.

Now another stupid question, what is a guerila marketer. I have an idea, but there is a thread with that same title.

---

There are no such things as stupid questions. Never.

A guerilla marketer is someone who markets Firefly/ Serenity in this case in unconventional ways. Someone who puts up posters, who puts bookmarks in a comic book store in all the comics, someone who wears t-shirts and hats or pins and buttons to advertise in this case the'verse. We're beginning to expand that out a little into the electronic realm by doing some stuff on the web. It began with the River Tam Sessions which were guerilla marketing/viral marketing released on the web before the movie ever started. We're in the process right now of having a fan made video trailer contest for the show and after we award the prizes, those vids are gonna get spread out across the web via myspace, google and youtube. Guerilla marketing is made by the fans marketing that works.

11th Hour is amazing at it. Been doin'it since the beginning.

There are a whole lot of webcomics that mention or reference Firefly. I wish I wish I wish Penny Arcade was one of them; I've even seen some prime line-ups that didn't go where I thought they would. It's possible that they actually don't know about it, completely unrelated as it is to the gaming world at the moment.
However, quite a few others have made mention of the show. That I have seen: "The Devil's Panties" "Sam and Fuzzy" "The Nice Guy" "Comedity" and probably others that I can't bring to mind right now. The higher-profile ones ("Sam and Fuzzy" and "The Devil's Panties") sadly haven't made frequent reference, and the "Sam and Fuzzy" reference (in which one of the characters says "you can't stop the signal!") wasn't all that obvious. Maybe we can rope some of them in a little tighter. That'd be shiny.
And who knows how to send stuff to the boys at Penny Arcade? I mean, they only have the biggest comic on the web. It sure would be nice to have them on our side. Maybe if we sent them a boxset? Or the HD version of the movie (I'm sure they have a player; made a comic about it and everything, which was actually one of the Serenity reference line-ups that ended with the word "Doom" instead of "Serenity" and made me very sad - wow I am a geek) Or the HD version of the show when that comes out. Or something.
Anyway, there's my thoughts. An advert is also a good idea. Anything we can do, I think, is a good idea.

*edit* Hey look everybody! A Firefly mention!
http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/02/08
Guess I missed this the first time I read it. Shiny!
And look, another one!
http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/04/29
This one was from before I had even seen or heard of it, though. I'm sure I was very confused when I read it way back when...
Anyway, they are obviously fans (there were a few news posts, too) I wonder if, given a prod, they might make a few more mentions of the movie this month. (Wait, it's still August. I guess I mean next month...)

Hey FollowMal,

You did give me a browncoat and you did greet me. :)

I just want what everyone else wants. More Firefly. I do belive that we need to get everyone (every web site, yahoo group, browncoat club, friend, stranger (who wants to know what this show is about and doesn't know it yet), from every country on the same page. As you have said to many others, we need numbers to do anything. I know everyone is more then willing to help out, we just need to be organized about it. You know where I'm headed with this so...
Let's get it going.


Thank you for trying to help me out FollowMel.

It's funny. I didn't mean for my name to be Marine. I didn't relize that was what I was filling out. Nevertheless, thank you for your support. I do not think the military as a whole gets enough credit. Think about it, does a honorable condition have the same amount of weight as a degree? Even if our MOS was related? The benfits are very little as well. I know why I did joined and I am not looking for anything from anyone. I am just saying its nice to know that some people still understand what we do and moreso why. Anyways, thats a different topic.

I'll just throw my weight in where I can -- and vote for donuts

Ok, I was too tired to notice last night that we're talkin' Krispy Kremes here!

because donuts should always be voted for

Yes indeedy!!

I think a "Hey all new people, here's what's going on" thread for this particular part of the board would help. Still, tangent ideas (donuts! ok, maybe not) are likely to spin off as things pick up speed, so having a "check in here for the official word" thread as well might help too.

I think you're exactly right, CK and I hope either 11th Hour or I will do that today.

Don't stop brainstormin' folks. We really need to boost this signal!

How would we go about that? Giving them a prod I mean? We'll have to keep this in mind because any exposure is good exposure.
