I really wanted to play and couldn't figure out why I can't see the buttons. Then I remembered and checked the source . . . again, the buttons are flash. Huh? Why? Flash buttons?!?!? I have plug-ins disabled in my browser and haven't updated flash in ages. I had the same problem with the last version.

Oh, well. Guess no MM for me. Good luck to y'all with the game.

korme · 02-21-2005, 01:10 AM

is a month or week ran every night? just curious. anxious to get my dudes rocking.

sterlingice · 02-21-2005, 01:13 AM

Back in MM2, there was a month done per night.

cthomer5000 · 02-21-2005, 07:35 AM

Oh man, we're in deep shit. We made $7 at one show... $7!!!

We're down to 8 dollars, and we only came up with 2 songs out of 21 days of militant practice.

Raven Hawk · 02-21-2005, 11:36 AM

Sloth got themselves a new drummer and wrote a crappy (7) song called "Wrecking Ball."

vex · 02-21-2005, 11:46 AM

Flair (Alt. Rock) is up and running!

ntndeacon · 02-21-2005, 01:42 PM

The Klein Bottles Got 1 new song and lost lots of happiness

tanglewood · 02-21-2005, 01:50 PM

The New Age did lotsa practicing. Also, they have (bravely in some cases) revealed themselves to the world through the wonder of photography. Check 'em out.

ageofquarrel · 02-21-2005, 03:07 PM

Heh anthem wrote one song that they barely know. Also I cant seem to find a show for them.

sabotai · 02-21-2005, 03:15 PM

Somatic did some practice and rest last month, but did not come up with a new song yet. We have a tour this month in the Northeast 4/1 - 4/5 so hopefully that will get us some cash.

fantastic flying froggies · 02-21-2005, 03:21 PM

Vampires of Doom wrote their first song, called Intro. Only my keyboard player has an instrument, so i suppose it's a keyboard-only instrumental...

How do you make money in this game? I'm already short on cash!!!

How can you tour if you don't know any songs?

I think the explaination is if you don't have a full set list (or an empty one in my case), it's "replaced" with cover songs.

Coop · 02-21-2005, 03:27 PM

Play cover songs

MikeVick7 · 02-21-2005, 03:30 PM

Ok...I'm in as well with my alt rock band Strutter.

If I didn't let bands play shows right out of the gate, then my fear is that people would have too little to do initially and quit playing the game right off the bat.

OK, that's fine and makes sense. I just didn't know it, so i've had my band basically practicing the whole month...

sachmo71 · 02-21-2005, 03:45 PM

Earworms, baby.

Bearcat729 · 02-21-2005, 07:52 PM

The Blind Fish wrote 1 song, made $16 on a tour and rested for a few days.

Next month we have a couple more shows, a bit more practice and the band is resting by watching Song Writing 101 on PBS.

ntndeacon · 02-22-2005, 12:17 AM

Well, crap! The Klein Bottle's Bassist is saying we need a new space...we have negative cohesion, but we did make $30 on our first show.

vex · 02-22-2005, 12:39 AM

Flair wrote their first song, "Crazy", and lost a lot of money doing it

So who's going to set up the FOFC record label?

tucker342 · 02-22-2005, 12:40 AM

Kleft practiced, toured and rested

I didn't learn any new songs, but I'm close...

Um thanks.

Dangers of quickly reading the forum.

cthomer5000 · 02-22-2005, 09:41 AM

Shit. We've already been forced into an unrealistic tour of North America because we need the cash. Nothing like hitting the road with 3 songs.

I think part-time jobs should be an option for the band spends their time.

Doug5984 · 02-22-2005, 10:00 AM

I've created FOFC: The Label. I made it "all genres" since we have a wide range. To join, just send me a Maven Mail with your FOFC name and I'll add you to the label. I'll try to check a couple of times tomorrow (today, whatever) but I'll be switching over to my new computer today so I might be a little slow today.

Anyone have an idea for the label photo?

SI

sterlingice · 02-23-2005, 04:42 AM

Well, I was messing around with labels and disbanded "FOFC: The Label". When I tried to recreate it, it claimed to be successful but it didn't reappear (so likely the delete process doesn't quite work).

So now, the new label is called "FOFC Live!". Same great label, new, better taste. I even contributed a crisp, clean $1 bill to the label fund

SI

sachmo71 · 02-23-2005, 08:19 AM

Applied.

MikeVick7 · 02-23-2005, 08:20 AM

I should probably make it more obvious when you apply to a label - right now you can see that info on the Band News page.

Calis · 02-23-2005, 10:46 AM

Gotcha, I see it now.

Wasn't sure if it took, but didn't want to click it 100 times either. I am signed up though, so all is well.

Yeah, a screen saying your application has been sent wouldn't hurt.

Raven Hawk · 02-23-2005, 12:20 PM

Sloth has applied for the FOFC Live Label after selling out our demo tape this month!

sterlingice · 02-23-2005, 12:34 PM

I'll try to get you guys added but I want to read up about how you give a contract to people (you can't just click "accept" or something, you have to offer a contract to someone). But every time I try to search the forum, it dies "page can't display" but I'll keep trying.

For now, I'll just offer the max 5 album/5 single contract to all of you with a whopping $0 help from the label

EDIT: I've offered 5/5/0 to about half but I was thinking that there might be a down side to being tied down so long so the rest of you will be 1/2/0 since that will keep you on the label a long time (gotta get 8 songs) and it'll give us more time to check out labels. If you got a 5/5/0 and are worried about that, just reject the contract and try to join again.

SI

sterlingice · 02-23-2005, 12:53 PM

I think I'll make a little chart here in a couple of days (once people accept) with all the members of the label.

The following bands sent a message but didn't try to join the label so you have to do that before I can add you:
Jive Turkeys (Pumpy)

SI

ntndeacon · 02-23-2005, 01:07 PM

lighthousekeeper · 02-23-2005, 01:18 PM
