Hey everyone,
I recognize a few names around here from my time developing WMaiD years ago, and from when I was running http://maramerch.bungie.org.
I've been teaching overseas for a few years, and have decided to liquidate alot of my remaining Marathon-related merchandise. I figured that this would be the place to mention that. :) I've included bit.ly URLs too in case the WebBBS still has a habit of chopping URLs in half.
Of interest are a custom made leather Marathon Belt and Metal Belt Buckle (made by Johannes Gunnres (sp?) way back in 2002:

In case the forum chop the URL: http://bit.ly/KeAFXn
The last 2 S'pht Logo Hoodies (never made available for sale, new):

and the last 7 (coincidence?) Series 2 Blue Marathon Logo fabric patches:

I also have a beat up Marathon-1 Box with the associated M1 Disks, manuals, and thick players guide available for free, as long as someone is willing to pay the shipping cost from Canada for it. :)
I also have a few archive-quality prints made by Jay Faircloth of his various Marathon works done on archival paper/poster size. Drop me an email if you're interested in any of these. From what I remember, he only made ones for Claude, myself, and himself while he was working at the Harvard Printing Press.

I still have hopes of finishing WMaiD one day:

-- but the hosing of many key files resource forks back in 2007 really messed up development. Fingers crossed that I can finish it as the Aleph One compatible scenario I intended it to be.
These days, I'm teaching and making custom action figures as a hobby business:

I have a Marathon marine (based on Jay Faircloth's artwork) as along with 2 types of Pfhor in the works. :)
Cheers,
