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.

Errr, ummm, that's ok. I think I'll just drop it.

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.

Not exactly true - at our first MA (Fall 2001) they gave us a copy of it on a floppy, along with our team pics. It's in PDF form. I think they let us keep the hard copy that year too. Since then however, they haven't allowed us to keep any of the materials.

I stand corrected.

Thanks for the info.
