I might have a little idea, though i'm sure it's probably lame, i'll throw it out there anyway. I still need to figure it out but basically a MiG cursor If you look on my space for example, i've got some wacky cursor thing that pops up....so that made me think "oooh, I could get a MiG cursor to play around with" ... ok, so technically it's just a cursor but the fact is, it stands out....nearly everyone has the boring white arrow all over my space so a MiG one would be different....I guess it would work like TV adverts, people will remember it, because it's different Hmm, just a thought, i'll go away now

Oooh, Jenn!! That's a great idea. I have a pink flower cursor now, but I'd rather have Mig!

Sound good to me Jenn! If ya think your idea is wacky.....listen to the one floatin' around in my house!!
I am thinkin' of working with my daughter to build 'MiGTown' for Sims2.....with some prebuilt families (MiG & Simmy and some others) and then when done..... finding out if it is okay to upload it to the official Sims2 (EA Games) website for other folks with the game to download and use! Considering there are MILLIONS of people playin' the game.......why not see if folks like it!! I just threw the idea out to my daughter the other day....we are Sims2 fanatics....her response was just 'I wondered how long it would take you to want to do that since I see there is already a MiG character in one of the towns!!'!! We can even build a Lola's in the NightLife expansion pack (if we ever get out to buy it!) and upload that to the website too! We will look into how to put all together ...... and make sure it is alright to use his name in it first (of course!). I know you can even put in your own music to play on the TV music stations and radio stations on the game.......(after 2yrs of having this game there is STILL so much I haven't learned about it yet.......it is a virtual reality game like no other and nothing like the original Sims...not even close!). So.....one way or another.......there WILL be a MiGTown on OUR game anyhow.......the town will be filling up with TeamMiG folks and I can't wait to play it! I wouldn't upload the TM characters ...... unless folks wanted their character to go along with the package! I have never used any of the downloads from the official site.....but many people do! I might get it done in a year or so....hahaha....building everything will take some time and it may never even get done at all (as it is a huge undertaking).....but the idea itself is promotional in nature!
There are many ways each person can promote MiG......just think of the genre you are targeting and what interests they may have and go from there! Keep your OWN interests in mind too......Sims2 is enjoyed by ALL ages.....and many gamers (like me)......so the idea just popped into my head to get his name out in a game! Smaller ideas may turn into HUGE successes....ya just never know unless you try it!
Now .... can I run and hide with you Jenn!!??!!!

Dawn, i'd say yes but there's no need to hide though!!! I think it's safe to say only you could have come up with that idea hun HAHA!!! #clap# #clap# #clap# Brilliant I can actually imagine all of that and it sounds great, it's certainly a huge project though, i'd say go for it (as long as you let me into Lola's once I get the game) haha!! I can imagine that would be huge fun to create it too, let alone playing it!!! If you go ahead with it then good luck

Laura, I have a rapid cable connection but when I go to MiG's myspace and play the tunes, it takes quite awhile for it to start playing. Even after listening to one song, when you press on the next one again it takes a long time. It does that whether I listen on the site or leave up the stand alone player. Is there anyway to get them to play faster or to play continuously through the songs? Dawn what a fun idea about teh Sims2. so many of you have such great creative ideas! You inspire the rest of us. #tmhearts1# mb

I am now on high speed wirelesss and sometimes I still get buffering (song will play, then stop, then play, then stop, etc.) #ranting2# #mad# #ranting2#

Laura, I have dumped m cookies and my temp files so I don't think that is it. Any other ideas? I have a fairly up to date computer. It sounds like their might be several of us with the same problems. Thanks for the suggestions and hope maybe someone can come up with some other ones. I love those songs. Esp Move on and Nothing You Do mb

I am now on high speed wirelesss and sometimes I still get buffering (song will play, then stop, then play, then stop, etc.) #ranting2# #mad# #ranting2# I've been playing MiG's songs (via the standalone player) for the last hour or so and they've played fine. That's not always the case though. Maybe it's related to the amount of traffic on MySpace at the time. More great ideas! Jenn, I like your new cursor and the idea of changing it to a picture of MiG! I wonder if that is as simple as creating a small MiG pic, uploading to Photobucket, and substituting that URL in the code for the cursor? Might have to give that a try... Jenn if you figure it out in the meantime, let us know! Dawn, your Sims2 idea was great too. I know nothing about that gaming program, but sounds like it would be a good way to get lots more exposure for MiG! ;D I added some of Laura's new buttons (promoting MiG's MySpace) in comments for other band sites, including Lovehammers, Bona Roba (Neal Carlson's band), Deanna Johnston, Daphna Dove, Train, I forget who else...

Yikes, tonight the myspace player wont even load up on MiG's space. The rest of the space comes up fine, all except for the player -- just a big white square! Ah, finally it loaded. I is taking a lot longer these days than it used to. Maybe myspace needs more bandwidth!
