Mouse Adventure Date Announced - April 29, 2007

innerSpaceman · 05-01-2007, 12:25 PM

Oh, we used to like navigating the Park while doing trivia. It was fun because it not only gave us something to do while walking from place to place, but involved our entire team in the out-loud posing of questions.

I was glad to have trivia back in any form, even though it was not part of the main event. It is our team's ace-in-the-hole ... and it was nice to come in 1st place in Sunday's trivia contest.

GD - I am not saying categorically that one level of puzzledom is better than another. Merely stating my own opinion, and sorry if I came off otherwise.

I support my position, however, by implyng that elements which involve being at Disneyland are better than elements which do not. That's my opinion, but I think it's more widely held than that. I'll use The Ballroom as Exhibit A. Though it's just the starting gate and the prize ceremony, why are those things better on resort property than in some nondescript event hall?

Alex, I only have it only by rumor that you are responsible for what I consider excess puzzlage in MouseAdventure games. If that is indeed the case, then I regret to say I'm somewhat relieved at the prospect of your future uninvolvement.

It may be that I was. After all I tend to prefer that kind of thing (many things that I personally find very lame have been very well received over the years). Plus, if you write 12 of these then it gets very uninspiring to write another simple replacement code telling you to explicitly go see the address of the Main Street Cinema.

Arguing against it, however, is the fact that two out of the last three events (not counting this one) that you did were not primarily written by me.

Time will tell and I honestly hope it turns out I was a negative force and it only gets much better. I'll just live with the consolation that I couldn't have been screwing it up that much since each event had more people wanting to play than the last. (And I may still have involvement, but with my stepping down at MousePlanet I will never again have significant or primary responsibility.)

Wow..............I read it, didn't believe what I saw went and checked the webpage...there just aren't words right now...

I'm still with MousePlanet (just as a writer) and I expect I'll be at future MouseAdventures (the problem is that MouseAdventure is on a similar schedule as my new job's major quarterly releases).

I hope that you can live the life you desire with your MousePlanet golden parachute.

I agree. Though I didnt happen to see the announcement, but I agree with the rest.

I hope that your new plan is a good one for you Alex.
For me, even though I havent played the lat two games, you were part of the reason I continued playing.

Take that how you like, but I admired what you accomplished and looked forward to seeing you there.

Thats hard to fathom I'm sure being that we've never said more then five words, but there it is.
