It was mentioned in episode 58 that ye could find no reference to the hero mech Deaths Knell in any of the fiction or on sarna despite it supposedly being canon. Well just happen to come across it while flicking through the TRO 3025 so it is indeed canon. Unless I am not remembering correctly and it was actually Pretty Baby they could not find in which case I have nothing I can add to the matter. Bye.

Hello!

It's really fun listening NGNG. I listen NGNG while I go to work.
I got some guest ideas: I really want Loren L. Coleman or Herbert A. Beas as a guest.
And Try to make twitch event about you guys playing battletech board game.

AND! Ask them (Randall too) Who is Minnesota tribe (Are they Clan Wolverine?) and where are they?

I would love it if you guys could get George Ledoux to do a play by play as Duncan Fisher for one of your events. Maybe not live, although that would be awesome. Even as a voice over for a taped video would be great.

[Capt Cole 117]

I've noticed that there's no way to hear very old podcasts (pre episode 17) or posts that have left the front page of the NGNG website.

[Fiachdubh]

Just watching episode 64 and had a suggestion about international shipping. Since it is so ridiculously expensive to ship internationally from the US how about organizing international hubs of a sort.

Say you have 20 T-shirt orders from all around Europe it would be cheaper to mail the lot to one NGNG representative in Europe who can then post them on to the various customers, that way each customer would pay one twentieth for the initial shipment out of US and another $4 or $5 for shipping within Europe saving them quite a lot over $20 it would otherwise cost each individual.

It costs €3.30 to send a 0.25 Kg large envelope from Ireland to Germany with An Post and £3.39 to send a 0.25 kg small packet from the UK to Italy with the Royal Post just as two examples. Price goes up if you want tracking and such but even then would still be cheaper.

It would require a trusted volunteer from various regions around the world (but it is not like you are short on worldwide contacts any more) but could be significantly cheaper p&p costs for your customers/adoring fans.
Another route for some would be the large regional units such as Armed who could organize large bulk orders and take care of the redistribution themselves.

[Sean Lang]

Fiachdubh, we have it sorted! We will be doing our own digital weighing and postal orders! So once I receive the equipment I can put up shipping options for those outside the US!!! Your suggestion is good though, and I think it would be fitting if we see a large demand for items!

[Fiachdubh]

That is good news, I look forward to throwing cash at you in the near future!
