Harvest Moon UStream? Options

[Toaster Boy]

Okay, Starman's EBFGP has inspired me to the idea of us hosting a Harvest Moon playthrough. I was thinking of combining with other sites and possibly getting well-known members to host some plays, but this all boils down to how many people would actually do so. I was thinking of something like Winter, but perhaps Summer would be best? Tell me what you guys think, and add suggestions!

I know Darth has tried this many times, but I figured we could both try to get some stuff going.

That's part of the idea. I think the one that's most appealing to Toast, but the entire event that helps make it interesting is a bit more complicated. Starmen/Fangamer's fanfests are pretty well organized events, especially in the last year or two where the ustream has come into effect along with the typical stuff. Essentially, not only are they playing and discuss the game with people watching and chatting and playing their own copies, but there's also extras for every gameplay point, as well as encouragement to make fan materials to post on their forum. EarthBound, being the basis for the site to begin with, has special treatment in that there are also several rewards and stuff beyond the basic badges or whatever. Badges being the inspiration for our medals and work more or less the same. Except we're a bit more prone to giving them out for whatever.

All the crazy stuff they do aside however, the Funktastic Gameplay and Funfests worked essentially how ours do before it got to where it is. Except with a lot more participation thanks to it's more centralized fanbase. Something that we'd have to work pretty hard to have even a resemblance of, considering how the HM fanbase is so amazingly splintered it's not even funny.
