once again if someone need pictures for the card I have some oddworld/christmas related pictures...

Mac the Janitor 12-12-2002 11:11 AM

Yeah, but we've got to do it efficiently and finish it before Christmas, or else we'll look incredibly stupid...

Oddsville 12-12-2002 10:11 PM

Indeed..... I say eachone that can make an image and in the end we can choose what images we want on the card, that way we all could contribute? I could do a fancy text that says " Happy Hol-ODD-days from everyone at the forums!" we can add more or say something different if you guys want?

Where gonna need to throw around ideas about what you think should be on the card, whad kind of text you would like me or someone else to make and who wants to do what. Remember we must be organised! So, lets get thoughs brains rubbelin and start creating!:fuzwink:

Xavier 12-13-2002 08:03 AM

I think if we send one we should just say from all the Members and Staff of OWF, it wouldnt be fair to pick and choose who can and can't sign it. It could hurt someones feelings really bad if they werent included, not to mention, take up a huge or great amount of space up on the card. Thats my idea at least.

???????? WHY????
:

Fuzzles roasting on an open fireFuzzles roasting on an open fire,
Interns beatinf on your back,
Chants being chanted by a one-mudokon choir,
And Khanzumers hungry for a snack.
Everybody knows a headport or strategically placed lever,
Helps to save a tortured race.
Mudokon slaves, with their eyes stitched up tight,
Will find it hard to work tonight.
They know that Abe is coming to free eem;
He's loaded lots of brew and munchies on his elum.
And every moolah lovinf Glukkonfs gonna try,
To make our pesky heroes into pie.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
From Abe, Munch, and the other Inhabitants, too,
Although its been said, many times, many ways,
Happy Hol-ODD-daysc. to you.
-from Alf and all the Inhabitants,

M.O.M 12-17-2002 03:16 PM

Ok guys that little poem that you guys are reading is a parady of a very popular Christmas song here in America, not sure if you guys have it their but here they play it constantly. I'll try posting the full words to the real song and also were you can download it if you want it. ; )

Happy Hol-ODD-days all!

(btw- I think this would make a great tradition for the forums if we somehow have this song posted on the mainpage? I personally think its very clever can't get the tune out of my head at the moment.)

Mac the Janitor 12-18-2002 01:14 AM

Hey guys, I've just finished the OWF christmas card. Now, this is from everyone here, so if you don't like something about it, tell me and I'll change it. I want to make sure everyone is satisfied.

Click here to see the card in 5 pieces.

(Don't worry, I'll put those 5 pieces together if everyone likes it--it's only a temporary stage)

Al the Vykker 12-18-2002 02:13 AM

Look they even stuck a couple of us in there in directly, myself as VP Aslik tied on the tree. And also from what I see Khanz the blind mudokon. Good job on the card though Mac.


-Al the Vykker

And yes Oddsville is right its a parody of a famous christmas song here in the USA. Though it does mention our dear friends the elum, and the Khanzumerz.......

Xavier 12-18-2002 06:22 AM

the card is nice... but can't you add some christmas decorations? to have a more christmas effect...


and thank you for telling us the origins of that song (I actually doesn't knew that it was a real song)

Facsimile 12-18-2002 06:31 AM

Other than what Xavier said, it look's good. I was beginning to think it wasnt going to be done in time.

Alcar 12-18-2002 06:31 AM

What song is this exactly?

Any sound files too, because I can't seem to match it to any tune I know. So it probably is a strictly American song.

Alcar...

atusiya@ 12-18-2002 11:14 AM

Christmas song

BigBro 12-19-2002 12:32 AM

Thanks for the song, Atusiya. :D Still dosent ring a bell though, so Im with Alcar, it must be a striclty American carol.

You are welcome.. ;)

E-mail from OWI reached me....but....,
Even so, by the time the bells ring , does reach the "Happy Hol-ODD-days" post card from OWI my home in Japan? ....:fuzemb:

BigBro 12-20-2002 07:07 AM

Yeh, I like the card too. I think theyll get a kick out of it when they come back and see that lil' beauty in their mailbox......well, Alf will, anyway...

Mac the Janitor 12-20-2002 02:42 PM

Thanks, everyone! I'll go send it in now. I'm glad you like it.

Xavier 12-20-2002 05:45 PM

Mac... I think Alf allready saw the card:
Forums Holiday Card

Mac the Janitor 12-20-2002 11:10 PM

Yeah, cuz I sent it to him in an email right after I posted the above post...

Xavier 12-21-2002 06:29 AM

perfect Mac, well done

Oddipus 12-21-2002 06:39 AM

beautiful
 
It's wonderful to see a game company and it's fans to have such a great relationship. Sending christmas cards and thank you's. I liked both cards (ours and theirs) very much. Can you imagine an other game company having something similar (I wouldn't really know cause I mainly care about Oddworld alone anyway).

Oddsville 12-21-2002 01:20 PM

I agree Oddipus and a very great job Mac, hope you all have a happy Hol-ODD-days!:fuzwink:

M.O.M 12-21-2002 03:27 PM

well done to all those people who helped made the card!

Mac the Janitor 12-21-2002 07:48 PM

Thanks guys. I really appreciate your comments.

And Xavier, sorry if I came off snappy in that last post. It just came out wrong.
