16 characters. 1 winner. The Final Fantasy Character Tournament is getting serious, as we have entered the Sweet 16 round. Check it out in the link below to see if your favorite made the cut. Also be sure to vote so that you can help determine the champion! Keep checking back for the elite eight, final four, and finals rounds.

FF Character Tournament - Sweet 16 Round

You should also take a look at the Final Fantasy Census, stickied in the same forum. Submit your survey to Wolf Kanno if you haven't done so already (especially if you are a girl).

Final Fantasy Census!!!

Finally, don't forget about Rye's announcement below concerning FFXIII spoilers. We mean business about that!

[Rye]

On the eve of the release of Final Fantasy XIII, the staff all thought it would be important in reminding all of the wonderful people on this forum to please remember to use a spoiler tag on anything that may potentially spoil parts of the game for another member, even if you feel like it is a trivial detail.

Many people have been avoiding reviews and news on the game so that it is completely fresh for them when they play it. Don't let them down, OK? And remember - when in doubt, put it under a tag!

For more details, see Loony BoB's post here:
DON'T SPOIL THE GAME FOR OTHERS!!!

Thank you!

[Rantzien]

We decided it was time to switch from the Private Message system to Mognet. It works exactly the same, it's just cooler. Don't forget to stock up on kupo nuts!

[Del Murder]

If you like Final Fantasy, or tournaments, or both, you should check out this thread in the General Final Fantasy Forum.

68 characters. 1 winner. Be a part of it.

I kind of wanted to avoid making an announcement, but I figure since all the other step-downs got one it would be mean to ignore this one so... yeah, eestlinc and Zeromus_X have moved on. What do you want with us? We're old and they're, like... real grown ups or something. Did you know eestlinc is a lawyer? A freaking lawyer! He doesn't have time for this piddly crap. To be fair, he did stay a lot longer 'cause he wanted to 'cause we begged him. And Zero can't bare to live without his one true love or something, I don't know, he's not much of a talker that one.

I don't know how much they'll be around, but show them some love. They both really deserve it, what with eests long tenure and Zero making the rest of us feel comfortable with ignoring the lower forums. Three cheers!

[Levian]

and don't worry, it's not you, it's me.
Basically I need to learn how to not fail at real life before I can win at the internet.

I'll miss you guys!

Someone can former staff me whenever.

[eestlinc]

We thank Leeza for her many years of service to EoFF as a Cid's Knight and an Administrator! She will be remembered for being both the nicest and evilest staff member of all time, which is quite a feat.

[Levian]

Have you ever had that feeling where you wake up one Thursday morning and realize you've forgotten to knight Rye for the past 5 years?

Welcome aboard, Rye!

(hail baotw!)

[Del Murder]

Please join us in congratulating our new Recognized Members:

Christmas - for her outstanding work in this winter's Ciddies as well as her overall involvement in facilitating events, excitement, and general activity at this board. This is certainly a more fun place when you are around!

Marshall Banana - she has been the most consistent presence in the Events Committee ever since its creation and is responsible for the ever popular Lucky Bags/Eggs/Pumpkins/etc event. She also did great work in helping create the Christmas in Narshe skin and always contributes a cute and fun attitude at the forums.

Thanks ladies!

Also don't forget to check out the Most Missed Member announcement below regarding another great lady of EoFF, foa, before she comes here and kicks my ass.

[eestlinc]

Longtime Cid's Knight Shoeberto aka Hsu aka Dr Disco Stu has stepped down from Staff. Thanks for being a part of the big show and we'll miss you in the Porn Staff Forum!

[Del Murder]

Another attempt to move the EoFF database to it's new faster server is scheduled for later tonight. Be prepared for some downtime.

Also don't forget to give a warm welcome to our new Cid's Knights, Shiny and Wolf Kanno.

[rubah]

If you think you're hot stuff when it comes to researching Final Fantasy details and facts, coding up PHP websites, or making awesome imagery, Site Staff might be right up your alley.

See if you're up to snuff in the application thread.

[Loony BoB]

We haven't even got a winner of the CK contest yet, but there are certainly changes amongst the staff already... I don't think that we can say a big enough thankyou to crono_logical and Samuraid, the leading staffers when it came to solving all of the problems you might have experienced at EoFF over the past five or six years. The fancy features, the forums-saving SQL queries, the optional Quick Reply... so many things have been fixed or implemented by these two since they joined that I don't think any techy admin will ever match their dedication to that end of things. Of course, things are different now and they both have other things to do with their time and we wish them all the best (and will surely come crying and begging for their help if we ever find ourselves in a proper pickle again!).

BUT! BUUUUUT! Things aren't all bad. rubah (aka Darth Allieson) and Psychotic have been made admin!

Okay, so things are crap.

PS. See the announcement below, before it's too late!

[Levian]

Our most powerful weapon has suddenly gotten more powerful. Not only can she wipe you out in a single move with her death claws, she can now wipe you out in a single move with her death claws while changing your name and profile details. Scary huh? Good luck getting your filthy hands on that Desert Rose now.

Either way, please welcome our freshest admin, it was about time.

Also, check out twitter stuff in announcement below.

[Del Murder]

The Twitter field in your profile has been updated. It is now an actual link to your Twitter page. You only need to enter your user name, so you no longer need to enter the http:// crap. So if you have something in that field you should update it so that the link works as intended.

[Levian]

A little update on rubah's announcement earlier.

a. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles discussion goes in General Final Fantasy
b. Chrono Series discussion goes in General Square-Enix

Will there be a part 3? idk.

[Psychotic]

Lazy good-for-nothings. The only reason I haven't left you slackers is because there'd be nobody to write me a lovely announcement!

Some of you will most likely know this, but for those of you that don't, we have two more departures from our staff.

Old-timer Flying Mullet is putting his feet up, wearing his pants higher, and moving to Florida, to spend his remaining days far away from us young 'uns.

Meanwhile, everyone's favourite cowboy, Azar, has also hung up his spurs, and has rode off into the sunset in search of a cure for ginger hair. However, he is remaining with Site Staff for the time being. Or at least until Baloki drives him insane.

Bye, boys, thanks for your service and indeed thanks for your presence in our super elite Staff Forum. Good luck for the future, too.

Man, with all these people leaving, maybe we should look into getting some new blood...

[Psychotic]

Cid's Knight Behold the Void has stepped down after almost four years on the job! He was definitely one of the best we've had. Thanks for everything, my good man, and I hope you still swing by the place from time to time.

Now, how will we fill this void...? (sorry there just aren't many "Behold" related puns.)

[Levian]

Happy Birthday, Norway!

Apparently, for some reason, we also won Eurovision song contest, so rock out to this song!

You can move along with your life now.

[Levian]

but at least we've got Eyeson Plays Final Fantasy VIII to comfort us, right?

[Levian]

http://forums.eyesonff.com/members/rantzien.html

Notice any blue differences?

[Del Murder]

After almost three years of service, Miriel has stepped down from EoFF Staff to pursue her goals of taking over making a difference in the world. We will miss her, even those of us who talk to her every day.

(There goes my plans of having our wedding in The Lounge.)

In her last official act, we allowed Miriel to hand pick her replacement. So please help us welcome our new Cid's Knight, roto13.

Congrats to Flying Mullet on being promoted to admin. Moving right up the ranks, this one!

We are confident that his technical knowledge will be a great help in maintaining Eyes on Final Fantasy. Feel free to now bug him will all the silly modifications you guys want to the board.

[Del Murder]

Eyes on Final Fantasy has a group called Recognized Members. These members were honored for dedicating their time and effort to EoFF in special ways. Once upon a time, these represented some of the most active and exemplary of those who posted at EoFF. We'd like to see that be the case once again. So without further ado, the following people have received Recognized Member status:

black orb - black orb has shown tremendous dedication to the art sections of Eyes on Final Fantasy for a number of years, and has created beautiful banners for our site.

BG-57 - BG has been one of the most active and helpful members in the Final Fantasy sections for a long time. Still talking about Final Fantasy games after all these years deserves some credit.

Goldenboko - Besides being one of the most active and dedicated posters on the forums, Goldenboko has volunteered to take on the 'dirty jobs' like cleaning up the Wiki and Mafia Archive (and for that reason his new nickname is Dirty Bird). He currently is also helping with the Events Committee.

JKTrix - JKTrix has provided us with heaps of gaming news and knowledge, most specifically in the General Gaming section. Since this is a gaming website we should recognize our gamers!

Ouch! - Ouch has been an active and contributing poster for over 6 years. He's spent that time hosting events like the screename competition and helping poor noobs in the FFXI forum. (see, I told you I would take care of you if you rigged me to win the last sn competition)

qwertyxsora - Our favorite green member has hosted numerous contests, and helped out with the Wiki and Mafia Archive. He's also a super nice and helpful guy, and a very active poster.

last and definitely not least,

Rye - If you don't know why Rye deserves to be recognized, then you don't come to Eyes on Final Fantasy often enough. Among being one of the most active members in the last several years, Rye is currently dedicating her time by hosting the Eyes on You event as well as leading the EoFF Events Committee.

Even though their specific contributions are listed, it is not just that, but their overall attitude towards our website that allows them these honors. We thank you all, as well as all those who have been something special to Eyes on Final Fantasy in the past or present.

The Site Staffers are always looking for the latest news regarding Final Fantasy and related Squeenix games. If you're posting a thread or an update with new info regarding upcoming titles, we would be extremely appreciative if you would post a link to your post in this thread so we can keep up with the times.

Your voices have been heard, and the size limits for user avatars has been increased from 60 by 60 pixels to 80 by 80 pixels. We encourage you all to make use of the extra size, but changing your avatar will not be mandatory.

This change will be implemented on a trial basis. If after a predetermined amount of time (approx 2 weeks) not enough users have utilized these new limits, or if the staff just doesn't like how it looks, then the size will revert back to what it previously was.

If you need help in resizing your avatar, feel free to contact Shlupquack, Marshall Banana, Momiji, or Tavrobel and they will be able to assist you. Or you can visit the following thread:

Today (or, a couple days ago, forgive me for having a mourning period!) we bid farewell our beloved Yameneko. After spending 4 or 5 years on the staff of Eyes on Final Fantasy, he has decided that it was time he moved on. We wish him luck in his ongoing pursuits. Yams enjoys softball and fishing, and vacationing in his mountain home with his wife Carla, and his two daughters, Jenny and Christine. (I added that last part because when I worked at longs that was for some reason at the end of every email notifying us of some exec leaving)

I leave you all with this:

As you may know, we have been experiencing technical difficulties with Premium Membership. There is a limit as to what the Eyes on Final Fantasy moderation staff can do to to fix these problems. We have done our best to notify the site owners of the issues, and hopefully they will resolve them soon.

We apologize to all those who have purchased a membership and cannot enjoy all of the features advertised. We recommend that those considering purchasing premium membership keep this issues in mind when making their decision.

Body-snatching is creepy. Stop posting using each other's accounts.

And yes, Jojo, Krissy, and edczxcvbnm count as one couple.

[theundeadhero]

Some people think the Administration at EOFF (or even EoFF if you're picky) are the greatest things on Earth. I can't think of anyone specific, but they do. Some people think we're absolutely horrible, but they're terrified to tell us because they're afraid of the *smite*. Others have no problem telling us exactly what they think. Especially Raistlin, but nobody listens to him anyway. We've brought back the Staff Feedback Form so you can tell us exactly how you feel about the forum, and each one of us individually. It's an anonymous survey so there's no need to worry. Just follow the link at the bottom of this thread, fill it out, and send it in. You don't have to answer every question, but we really hope you do. We're also hoping most of you take this seriously, so please do.

To celebrate the birthday of the country Eyes on Final Fantasy was founded in, I have decided to unban another random member. This in no way is intended to be a satire directed towards our revolving door penal system.

As usual, please pm Quina with your guess if you wish to try for a prize. Unfortunately, there was no winner to last month's contest, therefore the prize for this month will be added on for double $$!

[Del Murder]

I've been in an e-bold mood today, so I've decided to start a new policy, with no input from my fellow staff members.

Every month* I will unban a random member. The algorithm for determining the selected member is top secret. I will not announce who this member is. If you actually have nothing better to do than read announcements at a forum you were banned from: it could be you!

If you would like to take a guess on who the unbanned member is for this month, pm Quina with your guesses. If you are the first correct person your reward will be an unlimited pm box, or a comparable prize if that is unavailable. One guess per member per month please.

Good hunting.

This announcement brought to you by Burger King.




*This may or may not be the only month.

[Yamaneko]

As an Eyes on staff -- Yes “staff”, not “Staff”. Get it right. -- member, I've seen abuse on the part of the knights and admins for a long time now. Recently, however, the situation has escalated to the point where I was admined under the condition that I would not add The Pimp smiley to the smiley list here. I accepted reluctantly because, well I thought I would have my revenge, but instead we have admins who find some sort of perverted amusement in adding whatever words they feel like to the filter. It doesn't stop there either. While I'm bound from adding The Pimp and his presence to the Eyes on smiley list, other admins just casually open the cp and add whatever smiley or post icons they want.

Well, you know what? I've had enough! I'm here to tell all of you that I'm officially holding Eyes on and its staff hostage. Any non-essential changes to the layout or look of the forums will not be tolerated. This includes adding smilies, post icons, new style sets, etc. Any admin found trying to subvert my hostage-taking abilities will be dealt with. I also call out to the members of the Eyes on Final Fantasy community to PM me if they find any changes similar to the ones listed above. I will no doubt be too lazy to look for those changes myself. This will last as long as it needs to until The Pimp is installed at its proper place here at our beloved community.

Thank you for your time and enjoy the show.

[Loony BoB]

In case it isn't obvious, sending out chainmail PMs is a no-no. Don't do it or we'll punish you!

For the announcement regarding the ads, please look just below this one.

[Del Murder]

Recently there have been some people impersonating staff members on instant messangers to harass other members. Hopefully these fools will stop before legal action must be taken, but it's ok if they don't, my lawyer has been bored lately. Just be warned that these people are not who they say they are.

Also, remember that staff will never ask for your account and password information.

[Loony BoB]

Yeah, we have a nice ol' Artist's Gallery now. The old Artist's Gallery is now the Artist's Forum until further notice (ie, until someone with more imaginative power than I have right now comes along). Super!

Please note that we'll be a bit more strict on what can go into the gallery. That means no simple sigs and wallpapers and the like - make it stuff that you at least mostly created on your own without the aid of pre-made images. Hope that makes sense and all that!

EDIT: Oh, yeah, and you probably owe the majority of your thanks for this sucker to Samuraid, who helped me more than I helped him in getting this thing working. Thanks also goes to rubah, Rye, black orb and Chaos for their lovely testing skills, and everyone (particularly Unne) for their help in the testing of various other gallery software we trialled.

[Loony BoB]

A massive thank you goes out to Miriel, Leeza, RSL, Renmiri and theundeadhero for their contributions. We now have the $129 needed to buy the new software for the FanArt section! Thanks again. Now for us to go and slave away on getting the thing set up...

[Del Murder]

When a staff member sends you a final warning, they mean it. Final warnings go something like this:

'Do ____ again and you will be banned.'

Some members have not taken these warnings seriously, for whatever reason, and were banned.

Remember that it does not take one big event to get banned. If you continue to break rules and get warnings from the staff, even for small things, and you do not heed those warnings, you will eventually get banned for it. It is not hard to follow the rules here so I don't see any reason why this should become a problem, but it sometimes does.

Also keep in mind that final warnings are not necessary for bans. It is a courtesy provided to you (and us), because we honestly don't want to ban anybody, and we try to give people a chance to shape up. We hope people get it, but if they don't, we do what we have to do. Sometimes it is obvious that people don't get it, and that renders the final warning step unncessary. This is done at our discretion.

Have a wonderful holidays.

[Big D]

Hi all.
Eyes on Final Fantasy has traditionally prided itself on being a center of intelligent, creative discussion. Lately, this has been deteriorating.
While nobody expects you all to post like geniuses all day, there are a few things the staff would like you to keep in mind, in future:

1. Think before you post.
Ask yourself, "why am I posting this? Does it contribute to the discussion, or am I just posting for the sake of it? Do I have something to say, or is this a meaningless post that no-one will care about reading?"

2. Keep it clean.
EoFF makes no apologies for its strict rules regarding flame and porn. However, it would also improve things if we could all avoid making posts containing unnecessary and gratuitous profanity or innuendo. For example, swearing that's just being used to emphasise your point ("it was smurfin' great!") or making sexual comments, either veiled ("I wanna become a lumberjack, I've always had a peculiar fondess for fresh hardwood") or overt ("Hey eest, are you available for some sexual favours?"), without a good cause.

3. Think before you post.
Again. Is your post going to cause utterly pointless friction or argument? Are you just trying to offend someone? Is there a better, more reasonable choice of words you could use? The strength of a forum community comes from mutual respect. Exercising basic common courtesy is the foundation of this. Basically, don't try to aggravate other members. Even if the thread is discussing a controversial, divisive subject, word your responses in a way that's not loaded to provoke hostility. This isn't always easy to do, but it's good if people can at least make an effort.

This is all we ask. Don't post things that you know are deliberately provocative, dumb, unhelpful or in bad taste. Henceforth, the staff may be more active in deleting abjectly pointless threads that they deem Too Stupid™, or that simply don't say anything other members will want or need to see.

A little care and effort from everyone can ensure that this place remains a stimulating retreat, offering informative debate and a cohesive, welcoming community atmosphere.
We can do it.

[Loony BoB]

I think everyone should read this thread.

[rubah]

In a surprise staff decision, [visible] tables have now been deemed subject to the image rules for Signatures. That means that if your table isn't perfectly clear and transparent (not used for positioning and formatting) it can be a maximum of 250 pixels tall and 550 pixels wide.

Who does this affect? If you're using a table in your sig with bgcolor="somecolorhere" then this means YOU! Otherwise, carry on as normal.

However, rumor has it that if you use the right color combination, leeza will give her blessing. But that's just rumor and you can't PM her to ask what they might be!

[Cid]

Thank everyone who donated to EoFF. I was able to earn a total of over $300! I will downgrade the server now so that the costs will be lowered. Also, the ads seem to be doing slightly better this month.

Thank you guys so much. Honestly. From the bottom of my heart. The wife and I have been having some financial troubles lately, so it was good to know that at the very least EoFF was taken care of.

Thanks again.

[RSL]

We have created a user group similar to the No sig for me group for usernotes. If you are in this group you will be unable to post usernotes, whether they be your own or someone else's.

We hope to use this only in cases of extreme abuse. If you see a situation that you would like a staff member to review, let us know via PM and we will check it out.

Basically, don't be obnoxious, guys. Spammy notes are fine. Notes that include more than 1000 smilies and crash some people's browsers are not fine. Double and tripe posts are fine. 10 straight posts of the exact same message is not fine. This usergroup is in place only to get rid of extreme abuse.

EDIT TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT: You have to be registered for 90 days before you can post in other people's usernotes. I've had 5 PMs from people wondering what they did wrong.

[Del Murder]

Pineapples are no longer to be discussed at this forum and any way shape or form. That means no Hawaiian pizza, no ambrosia salad, no Jamba smoothies, no sherbet (or sorbet if you really want to push your luck), and, above all, no huli huli chicken. Violations of this new rule will be handled as follows:

First offense: Breaking of both legs

Second offense: Ban

Thank you for your compliance and enjoy posting at Eyes on Final Fantasy.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

FFI, FFII, FFIII, FFIV, FFMQ, FFV, FFVI, CT, FFVII, FFT, FFVIII, CC, FFIX, FFX, KH, and FFXI are ancient games, kids. Everyone who really cared about their stories or anything else you'd like to censor has already found out that information in the three to seventeen and a half years they've been available. (FFXI was released on May 16, 2002.) So really, don't bother with the spoiler tags unless someone makes a thread specifically asking you to censor that stuff because he never got on the ball because of some stupid excuse like "That game never came out in my country." You're breaking my heart over here, Mr. O'Malley, really.

The same applies to whatever miscellaneous media you're discussing in the Lounge or whatever. Three years is a pretty fair mark. This is our official stance here and failure to comply will find you banished to the Phantom Zone forever.

[Loony BoB]

Advertising your site/forums (or those of someone else) outside of your signature is a bannable offence. Please don't do it - and if someone's sending you one of these PMs, please let me or another administrator know about it so we can judge 'em. Some members who do this may be permanently banned without any warning. Seriously, don't do it!

Now, let's all have muffins.

Having an avatar with any form of Unne in it is now a bannable offense. Offenders will be terminated with extreme prejudice.

Shlup herself will continue to grace us with her usual loveliness as our delicate administrative flower, but her rear end will no longer be making decisions or representing the forums in any way. Further references to her posterior and any act of kissing it, or any various synonyms of said act, are no longer sanctioned by Eyes on Final Fantasy. When the aforementioned derriere is not directly mentioned in her posts, it will be up to the common sense and judgement of the Eyes on Final Fantasy membership to determine whether or not her buns are expressing their voice, or if it in fact is ShlupQuack vocalizing in her official powers as administrator. Thank you.

Now that Final Fantasy X has been released domestically, many more people will be posting about it. However, the administration does not want someone far along in the game to spoil the story for someone just beginning it. So please refrain from posting any sort of spoilers. If you really need to, then at least make a clear and fair warning. If you post an unmarked spoiler, if will most likely be censored by a moderator.

Thank you for your cooperation.
