OOooh!!

Wonderful idea!!

Alex, Lani & Sheila are all members here. Let's wait to see what they say (Sheila has already voiced concern). I won't do anything against MP wishes.


WAIT! Did I just say that???????? ;)

I .........

Ohh never mind, that would be just too easy. :)

Anyone up up for Swinging Swankers?

Great Googly Moogly!

:thwacks the monitor to check the display:

What strange, bizarro universe have I wandered into? I must return now to American Idol-watching while I ponder this. I may have to place a call into Art Bell's radio show tonight.... ;)

It is all OK. I am banned, remember. No trouble-causing activities for me. ;)

Frankly, this is why we've resisted in the past letting people leave the event with still playable versions of the game.

You guys own the physical copies you have, and while we definitely ask that you not make additional copies we can't control to whom you show the ones you have and if you all gather and play it together.

We're not happy with the thought of a semi-formal organized competition because we're not enamored of the idea of anybody saying next time "well, we don't need to sign up, we'll just get in on the post-game round." MouseAdventure doesn't make a lot of money for MousePlanet but it does make some and I'm protective of that.

I know nobody here meant ill will in the suggestion or was looking to undermine us, but this highlights for us why we hadn't done it before and likely won't do it (at least not in the same way) again. You guys were polite enough to ask and to also determine that no money would be involved.

I appreciate that respect but don't know if we can expect it from everybody.

Cool I'm in! I couldn't have done worse in the open, so I'd have to be good at something else right?

Ponine?

Keep me in mind if you think you want help...of course if MP gives their blessings.

Well put. How can I argue with that?
I absolutely respect MousePlanet and understand where you're coming from.
I'm so glad that you didn't couch your response in legal "intellectual property" arguments but instead shared your attitudes in a mature and thoughtful way.

Perhaps this fall, I'll do a MousePod show "live" from the MA.

...now I will spend the rest of the evening clicking on every sponsor banner on the MP site... :)

Choke, cough, cough, choke.
