Theories returns as a monthly activity on the Writing board. That’s right — you have all month to write your theory and submit it. This February, your topic is: What exactly was the technology that George stole from Giygas’s race?
A lot of people still say that George “stole PSI” from the aliens, but is this really true? It’s ultimately up to you to give us your two cents! It can be short or long, and it can be goofy or serious. You can participate in Theories however you want! And when March 1 rolls around, you’ll get to see whose theory was selected as the winner. With multiple badges up for grabs, you won’t want to miss the return of this long-time Starmen.net activity. You can participate in Theories however you want, and winning gets you a groovy Octopus Badge!
For the first time in a long time, you’ve got your choice between three different riddles games! If you have never played Riddles before, give it a whirl. It’s actually quite simple. You’ll be given clues in the form of rhyme, and you’ll need to figure out what character, setting, or other aspect of the game is being alluded to. Earn points, compete against forum-goers, and go for gold!
Swing by the MOTHER boards to play EarthBound Riddles (hosted by Drake Inferno) and MOTHER 3 Riddles (hosted by Ostricho). Or, visit the Undertale board and play Undertale/Deltarune Riddles, hosted by none other than Tenna himself. The winner of Riddles gets a neat badge, and you can jump in with a guess at any time, so give them a try!
The time-honored tradition of Starmen.net mafia continues with Chopping Block. This twelve-player mafia game is down to the final three players. Watch the action unfold and follow the story of Chef Penneziti, the disgraced television host who can’t seem to keep his contestants from vacating the show en masse.
What makes mafia so exciting is that it’s a deduction game and full narrative rolled into a single package. So, whether you want to follow the in-fighting or just need something else to read, Chopping Block has something for you. More mafia games are in the works, so keep your eyes peeled for signups later this year, which will be posted in General Discussion.

Starmen.net remains a gathering place for talented individuals within the fandom. Discover eye-catching art in our MOTHER fan art thread. Or explore MOTHER: Origins, an EarthBound Beginnings adaptation on our Writing board, where Ninten and his friends are currently exploring Youngtown. With the psychic child Trip Garrickson missing and the town besieged by flying saucers, something needs to be done before the other children are swooped off the map.
And speaking of EarthBound Beginnings adaptations, follow the long-running MOTHER Remake project, aiming to reconstruct this classic game in the EarthBound engine. With over a decade of development history, this reconstruction has been eagerly awaited by generations of Starmen.net users. The hack is posed to finally reach completion this summer and will surely make waves through the MOTHER community.
And that’s all for this month’s newsletter! We hope to catch you next month, but until then, enjoy some time on the forums!
