The Bombers

History of the Bombers
The Bombers had their origins here at Zelda Universe in 2007, when, because of the interest in Zelda theorizing, a theory-writing contest was announced. Among all the entries, ten were chosen, and the writers became the founding members of the Bombers.

The Bombers planned to write articles on a regular basis for Zelda Universe, but only four were released. Headed up by Captain Cornflake and Lemines, the Bombers and some others formed a new website with an emphasis on Zelda theorizing and discussion: ZeldaInformer. With the confirmation of the Split Timeline by Eiji Aonuma, theorizing had become dull, and was in need of a "fresh start", and ZeldaInformer provided just that.

Since then, the Bombers have gone through many changes. Though there is still an emphasis on theories, any and all Zelda-related topics are now discussed by the Bombers, as articles are released on a regular basis at ZeldaInformer. Leminnes, who originally headed up the group, has has long since retired and left his duties to Uncle Meat, who in turn elected Nick and myself as Bombers Editors to help with the admnistrative work.


Purpose and Duties of the Bombers
The Bombers are commited to writing and releasing interesting, well-researched articles at a rate of one article per week.The goal is to provide a constant and consistent flow of Zelda-themed articles without sacrificing quality. The Bombers have high standards in terms of quality and accuracy in writing.

All members of the group write articles on a regular basis, but also give feedback and constructive criticism to the other members, ensuring that all articles are consistent with our standards. The articles are no longer confined to just theorizing topics, and many different aspects of Zelda are covered. Many of the Bombers also help with other site content as well.

Joining the Bombers
Like what you see, and think you have what it takes to join in the quest to release excellent Zelda articles? The Bombers are always on the lookout for new members for the team, and joining is simple:

1: Register an account on the ZeldaInformer Forums.
2: Write a Zelda-themed article, at least one page in length.
3: Send the article to myself (Erimgard), nick, or Uncle Meat

Make sure you send the PM to the ZI account, as Uncle Meat and nick don't often log into ZU, and I prefer to handle ZI-related business at ZI.

Keep in mind that because of the high writing standards, you may not necessarily be accepted into the Bombers. If you are turned down, don't be afraid to try again later when you've revised your theory to make it better, or have written a new theory.

If you have an article you'd like to contribute, but you don't feel you'll be able to join as a full-time member, we accept Guest Articles. Follow the same three steps you would if you were applying to be a Bomber, but make note that you only wish to submit your article as a Guest Article.

This thread will be updated regularly with Bombers news, and information on new articles.

Yeah, if you weren't procrastinating yours would be up faster...

I'm totally not in your shoes at all...

wat the hell, the bomber had gone?

That's cool, I just recently discovered the bombers so I didn't really know they'd been inactive.

I gotta say though, I love their articles! I've read all of them. They're acutally what got me into theorizing about Zelda. I think my personal favorite was The Message of Majora's Mask.

I'm thrilled to read more!

The Bombers were gone? When did they ever leave?

We never really left, we just had a brief period of inactivity.

Well, basically we were never "gone" we just took a break from writing articles regularly. But as Erim said, that's about to change

EDIT: goddammit nick

Oh, good news! i want to see the new articles of the bombers.

I've just stickied this thread.
That's all.

Thanks Jinny! <3

I'd like to remind everyone who's interested in joining The Bombers to send your PMs to me instead of Leminnes. Lem's hardly ever online and is no longer in charge of the project. Being a Bomber essentially means writing articles about Zelda for the community to enjoy. They don't have to be theories, they can in fact, be anything, as long as it's something interesting and original.

Wait, are you guys coming back to ZU or are you just saying you'll write more articles for on ZI?

The latter. We're still at ZI.

Then curse you all!! Go back to that lousy pit you call ZI and never step foot around here again!!

Nah, just joking.

Great to hear that, and I wish you guys a glorious return. By the way, is the original Bomber team still intact?

Sadly, a lot of the original team has left. Uncle Meat and the_Predator are the only founding members who are still around. (Someone tell me why Pred couldn't have been the one to quit?)

But we have gained some great members in their stead--like TheManInTheMoon and, of course, me!

Also some Erimgrad guy, you've probably heard about him.

Will you guys be re-opening your resources page on ZI?

Are you referring to this?

[Bombers] Theory Resources - ZeldaInformer Forums

It's been there all along.

Haha, sorta. But there were a couple people in line before me anyway.

Nope, sorry if I wasn't clear enough. We had just been somewhat inactive for a while. We went a couple months without an article, but things are in full swing now with several articles in the works.

I've just stickied this thread.
That's all.

Thank you!

Haha, let's kick Pred out and force Lex to return

As Meat said, that's been there all along.
I couldn't live without it. o.0

I'll try to update this thread regularly with any news or when new articles go up.

I'll consider it when the job hunt is over and I know what my work schedule is like. =]

Consider kicking Pred out, or re-joining?
Good to hear that though, and good luck with job hunting

I'd love to see more material from you, Lex. Let me know when things start working out, ok?
