Idea of the week (MA Invitational Teams) - Page 2

Sometime when I can feel my ankles like normal people do.

Did everybody get a copy of the answer key for the Open at the BBQ? If so, don't peek!

Hey CP, can I have a copy of the MA too? I have only read about it, including yours and GD's most breath-taking account of your recent championship, of course!

We're in England for the rest of the month, so I won't be able to join you guys to play it in person, at least not for the rest of March.

Jesse, you could be on our team.

But, I'm not sure if it's you and Heather coming down.

I'm pretty sure Steph will remain on the East Coast for this one.

i originally posted this for the invitational teams that already killed themselves in the new format, for us to get together again, make a day of it, dinner or something together to recount the stories of the event, and also to do the mini meet / open tourney - for fun.

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?

Anyone else have any ideas?

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.

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?
