Idea of the week (MA Invitational Teams)

Now that the topic of non-MA competing teams has come up, i would be wary of the toes we would step on with the organizers at MousePlanet, and the fees that people payed to play in it, Invitational or Open.

Does anyone else have any opinions on this? I would hate to be exclusive, but I understand where the concern from the MA Organizers come from.

What about the option of each team member that didnt already play in MA, kick in like $5 per person?

I really like the idea of having our own unofficial contest with the invitational people involved (and perhaps those who wern't on an invitational team could join one with extra slots) but no extra teams could be formed.

I think it's a true bonus that we were given the quests and key (I didn't get one, I wasn't at the ceremoney). I think charging anything more than the cost of the copy (if they give us permission to do so) is a bad idea too unless the money was going to the MA organizers (which would be a whole other can of worms). I don't want them to not do this again.

Mhrc, you have a great idea and I'm sure that there is some way us invitational teams can *play* against each other for fun. We just have to figure out how, and whatever we do there can be zero profit other than fun from it.
