[Jonbo298]

Nintendo has posted up the registration dates and when CH 2003 will begin. Registration is from July 29th-31st at CampHyrule.com and it will officially begin on Aug. 11 for I believe 1 week. So who's gonna try to claim top cabin this year? Any GT'ers gonna sign up?(besides me)
Camp Hyrule (http://www.camphyrule.com/)

[Jason1]

Hell yes im signing up...it was to damn late last year though, I was just starting school when it was starting. I dont start until like the August 22 or something this year, so that date sounds good.

[gekko]

it will officially begin on Aug. 11
So will my life in the Marine Corps. Guess I'll pass this year.

[Ginkasa]

I'll sign up. I may or may not participate very much though...

*shrugs and walks away*

[Happydude]

I'll sign up. I may or may not participate very much though...

*shrugs and walks away*
yup...i signed up the past 2 years...but never participated...god knows why :shakehead

[gekko]

You missed out on the amazing fishing game.

[DarkMaster]

I signed up last year. I didnt participate but my cabin won and I got a Mario sticker :cool: recognize

I'll probly sign up again this year just for the hell of it.

[Dyne]

I haven't done it yet but I'll be sure to this year. I've always been curious as to what it is, but I guess it's just a big chatroom. I'm good at that. Heh.

I won a couple years ago. All promises from Nintendo, we didn't get anything.

[thatmariolover]

You missed out on the amazing fishing game.

Heh. I remember that. 2 years ago I got second place in the fishing game.

[Yoda9864]

I won a couple years ago. All promises from Nintendo, we didn't get anything.
I won in 2000 and 2001. Each year I got a cartoonish picture of all the camp councilors and their signitures. Eh... :rolleyes:

[Vampyr]

I was in cabin 9 a couple years ago, and we won and were "supposed" to get some kind of Nintendo poster, but I never got mine. Ill sign up this year, of course. I was on vacation last year at the beach and didnt get back in time to sign up.

[Spike_Spiegel]

Heh, I saved the Fish Tails game from last year.

http://tomoeslab.virtualave.net/games/fish.dir

Oddly enough, if still appears to send in your high score when you hit "submit score"

[Emiger]

I never signed up before so I think I'll do it this year. I'm not really sure when school starts so I'm not sure if I'll actually participate or not, it does sound like fun though.

[Jonbo298]

*A friendly reminder*
Registration beings tomorrow, July 29th and runs through the 31st! Don't Forget!

[Crono]

Ah yes. I'll be signing up this year. I'll probably spend quite a bit of time in the chatrooms, like I did last year. I'm going to be signing up first thing in the morning to secure a good spot.

[Vampyr]

Secure a good spot? How are some spots better than others?

[Crono]

Secure a good spot? How are some spots better than others?

...... Well, what I meant was, to be actually be able to get in. Last year they allowed everyone, but I'm not sure this year will be like that. They normally only allowed 2000 people per year.

[Vampyr]

Alright, I get what your saying.

Hopefully there will only be 2000. Im confident I can get up early enough to get in, and its more fun when its held within a smaller community.

[Hero2]

[GiMpY-wAnNaBe]

[Jason1]

They never post the signups on time...

I'll prolly sign up first thing in the morning.

[Yoda9864]

Grrr, it's the 29th but the registration isn't up :banghead:, lol. Maybe I'll wait until the sun comes up :D

[Jason1]

it starts at 4 PM, Pacific Time. Thats 5 mountain, 6 central, and 7 eastern. And they probably wont have it up on time anyways.

[Hero2]

darn ad i stayed up all night ohh well guess a few more hours of caffine will keep me awake

[viruscool]

Who owns gametavern.net and gamingnow.net?

[Jason1]

Neo ownz GT...not sure who owns gamingnow...that might be Neo also?

[Crono]

Neo ownz GT...not sure who owns gamingnow...that might be Neo also?

No, I own it. So does DarkMaster.

[viruscool]

I know this sounds strange, but could someone lend me a Zipcode for the USA becuse i really want to be able to participate in camphyrule.

[Bube]

Use 22003 as a zip code. If you still want one.

Registration is closed, right? I missed it again for the 3rd time... If it isn't, where do I click to get to the registration page?

[ominub]

you can have mine viruscool 51501

[viruscool]

Thanxz. No your not too late to register. you can register until 31st July.

[Bube]

But where can I register? I can't find the link...

[viruscool]

go to camphyrule.com (http://www.camphyrule.com) and read the instructions.

[Jason1]

Im registered...the registration process was...different this year.

[Hero2]

it said i was already signed up???

[Bube]

go to camphyrule.com (http://www.camphyrule.com) and read the instructions.

Here's what I get:

"This year, registration for Camp Hyrule 2003 will take place July 29 - July 31 right here at CampHyrule.com. Each and every registered camper is assigned to a virtual cabin, where he or she can meet other gamers and interact with Nintendo's gameplay experts in exclusive Camp Hyrule chat rooms and message boards. Daily events include live chat shows, games, art activities and a bus-load of surprises from the Nintendo universe.

If you like to talk about video games, play practical jokes, and rub elbows with Nintendo's expert gamers, then pull out the tanning lotion and get ready to meet new friends at Nintendo's Camp Hyrule 2003. Coming the week of August 11, 2003."

It's what I saw a week ago. Somehow, my browser shows me the site before the update.

[Jason1]

I hope you tried refreshing...

go to internet options and clear your temp files

[Bube]

Thanks for the help, but I had tried both of those already (refreshing and clearing).

I visited the site again, and this time: "Registration for Camp Hyrule 2003 is now CLOSED."

Missed it again! 3rd year running...

don't worry, your not missing that much...probably just a bitg chatroom

[Jason1]

Yea, Camp Hyrule is never all it's cracked up to be.

[Happydude]

ah son of a b*tch...i missed signups...*sigh* oh well.

[DamnRaccoons]

Mother penis licker. I missed it for the first time. I was in the middle of signing up but I accidently put my birthdate in 2003 and Nintendo wouldn't let me sign up without a letter from my parents mailed or faxed to their head office or some #### like that.

[GiMpY-wAnNaBe]

:rofl:

[CD-R]

I think im signed up but im not for sure cause my friends did it for me.

[DarkMaster]

And once again my cabin wins yet I did not participate at all. And just like last year, the prize is incredibly sh*tty.

http://www.camphyrule.com/_img/badge1.gif

it's a wallpaper, but I'll be damned if that piece of crap will ever grace the background of my desktop.

EDIT: I just got another email. Apparently I was part of the F-Zero team and I won a screen saver. Goodie!

[Dyne]

Yeah, I won too.

I couldn't stand it past the first day.. think of the worst Nintendo fanboy you've ever met, times that by 499, and put them all in chatrooms. Good... god. =\

Fortunately during the latter half of the day, I tried the FF minigame, the library one. When you won, you got sent to a mystical land, and it completely filtered the n00bs. It was like heaven. I met a new friend there, and we talked for a while with the other few people.. but unfortunately one person posted a link in one of the cabin chats (and double unfortunately it was the worst). The n00bs started flooding in and I couldn't take it.. we weren't safe. So, I did other things that week, and missed every day after that.. even the closing ceremonies. But, I did make a flag for our cabin, but I have no idea if they chose it.

And we had the dumbest cabin name. "The Bridge". How clever. :rolleyes:

And guess what my prize was? 3rd place badge GIF and a wallpaper. Whoop-dee-friggin' doo. =\

[Hero2]

I was going to particapate and they kept sending me emails but the website said I dident sign up
ooh well I probley dident miss anything special

[Jonbo298]

Nothing special this year. The only thing I liked was the chats with the NOA mods. And it was funny one night when we were in a chat and a NOA mod kept saying Zelda is not in Animal Crossing. I repeatedly kept saying it is because I have it right now and he kept insisting that it isn't in the game. God I wish i had a digital camera at that moment. But then again, he was one of the more idiotic/stupid mods who probably didn't even know what an Action Replay is.

And DarkMaster, think you can send those to me? I want to see the crap I would've won if my team got off their ass and did something. (I was in Cabin 8, which got last place)

[DarkMaster]

This is the link to the wallpaper, I'm pretty sure it should work for you, if it doesnt, I'll have to send it to you on aim or something.

I dont know if the screen saver link will work for you, but try it anyway.

-My long ass post/rant about Camp Hyrule 2003-

Introduction

Yup, it was pretty stupid this year (well every year is pretty stupid, but this one topped the iceberg in stupidity.) The forums were a nice little touch though.

Camp Hyrule must be the idiot magnet of the Internet
Like some of the people already said above, Camp Hyrule manages to attract all types of pre-pubescent morons and idiots (and don't forget AOL users) from across the world. The first few days were filled with newbies (I don't refer to people who are new to camp, just the idiots) asking the same damn questions over again. By the final day, there were still people asking how the most basic things worked (which they could have easily figured out if they read ANYTHING in the e-mails that were sent out.) Another annoying trend was that I noticed a huge surge in people typing in ALL CAPS trying to win the Gannon award from Thursday until Friday.

The Conspiracy

I like it how Nintendo desperately tried to cover it's ass this year with all the art and stuff that they posted in the Trading Post place. Last year, they said they would pick the best one out of each cabin and post it. Well, if you've ever seen some of the crappy stuff they post (some things look like they were drawn by an eight-year old with no motor skills) you would be suspicious as whether or not they were really picking the best one or just randomly selecting one and posting that.

This year, it was changed to "We'll pick a handful and post them". They probably changed it since (with the new forums) people would be posting their artwork and pestering the people at Nintendo how they're professionally photoshopped picture got beat out by little Timmy who crappily drew a luigi hat in Paint on a counseler and got his artwork posted.

Why Sync Voting is the Devil!

Another thing I really hated this year was Cabin 1's syncronized voting system. If you hadn't noticed, Cabin 1 sweeped all the awards this year (with the exception of one or two.) Now I was in Cabin 1 and all but that was really really cheap. There were FAR better people who deserved some of the awards than some of the complete morons in my cabin (I saw some of the artwork the guy who won the "Best Artist" award drew and I could name at least six other members of my cabin whose artwork was ten times better.)

The other thing that irked me was that the nominations for the sync vote consisted of a so-called "leaders" (read: the people with no life) casting votes for their "friends" and all the newbies mindlessly following them and voting for the same person. (sorta like the shepherd leading the sheep to a slaughter.) The end result was that half of the people who won the awards weren't even that qualified to recieve them.

The games:
If you didn't sign up this year, don't worry! I got all the good stuff you need (i.e. the flash games)

[DarkMaster]

Wow, those games really suck.

[Jason1]

Wow, those games really suck.

Yea. Nintendo needs to stick to their Handheld and Console games...because their online games are piss poor.

[Vampyr]

My cabin won this year too, but I only went the first day, and I didnt do anything. I kinda got tired of how slow it was moving, and how it kicked to kick me off every few seconds.

I put the wallpaper on as my background, but its so busy and vibrant it practically blinded me.

[viruscool]

I thought camphyrule was pretty cool. Although i wished they had an award for the highest score on the fish game.
I esspecially liked the way they did the awards, that was pretty funny. I didnt expect that many people to attend the closing ceremony, 700 people!!! Also i thought the sync voting was a really clever idea :) BTW was anyone else in cabin1?
