Idea of the week (MA Invitational Teams)

Cadaverous Pallor · 03-15-2005, 05:25 PM

My thoughts:

New people can play as additions to other teams. As this wouldn't be super serious, I'd be up for allowing another couple to join GD and I unless he disagrees.

No fees or charges of any kind.

If new people want to donate to MP, they may.

I can talk to the staff at MP before we do anything at all, once we've come to a consensus about what this would entail.

No prizes, but perhaps we'll make up some certificates?

No claim at all that we have created this game. No renaming the game. It's "MousePlanet's MouseAdventure Open."

We don't need a staff to run it, do we? I guess this depends on what kinds of quests it entails. Hey! Perhaps Ponine and other Open participants would want to be a skeleton staff?

Are you calling us easy?

I've never gotten in on the MouseAdventure fun, in part because I don't have the connections to ask "can I be on your team?" and in part because I really don't know that I'd contribute anything to a team. The unofficial version would have been fun, but I agree I don't want to upset the people who put it all together. It always sounds like you do an amazing job.

I would say that getting my toes wet with an unofficial version, so I can gauge how well I might do, would have been a good introduction and if I thought I had a chance of being competitive, I would then look to join the real one.

I hope we all can dig where Alex and the folks at MP are coming from. The awesome game is owned by them, and we don't want to step on their toes. So please, let's have no more discussion of any kind of organized game of the unplayed Open, and no heretic talk of producing or distributing any of MP's materials.

If you cats want to jam on down to the Park and casually run through the version of the game that you didn't get to play, then there's no stopping you - and I don't think there should be. But we have to leave unto MousePlanet that which is MousePlanet's.

For us out of towners it would be fun to have a copy of the mouse adventure material from games gone by. Since each one is different I could only think that it would encourage more people to make it for the real thing. On the other hand, they could also charge some small percentage of the original fee and allow us to download PDF's of the game.

Great idea, but you'd be better off pursuing this at MousePad than on this message board.

Just to briefly answer your questions, MP has never handed out game packets up until this MA, so there would be nothing available to download. The answer to your final sentence is something that might likely be addressed in the future (but not in the near term). Nice and vague, huh?

Hard answers to your questions may or may not be answered over at MP.

But although you've already declined, anybody else who has questions really should post it over there.

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.
