PA has restored my hope! This might work!
Maybe we could get some sponsering from Tech TV! They could send the hosts of X PLAY to our convention, and then we could get recognition and TV time! And maybe we could get a news station like CNN or FOX to come and report on it too! We could get alot of sponsering from places if we just though about it... Maybe even Wal*Mart... I think I'm probably streching the whole sponsering thing, but it might work. Anyway, if we made it public, that means anyone could just walk in and steal stuff! Or a rapist man looking for his next victim could just walk in and grab someone! Scary, and people wouldn't even notice that they were missing until it was too late, and that'd be bad publicity! Oh well, just something to think about... GrigtheSlig :D |
Or maybe you're taking a pipe dream a bit too far Grig. You really are getting on my nerves at the moment *Gets out rusty knife*

I think such an event should not be made public... afterall, its an Oddworld convention only for oddworld members and loyal fans. You could set up a sign in form or something if you want to make it public, but making it public just like that is (like grig said) a little dangerues.

Public in the sense of not arrangeing an Internet meeting like in a Mall. Thats not really good.
Because it is very suspicious. You need to sort of invite loyal Oddworld fans to this event in a formal fashion as opposed to something informal where someone is like "Hey lets meet at this place on this date!" that is not the right way to do this. Thats why we should have invitations to this event. If its written down on paper presented in a formal way then its public in that way. Peoples's parents might actually let their kid to participate because it is written down and there are phone numbers. They won't get a sense of unknown suspicions. Thats what I mean when I say public. Of course it will just be for Oddworld fans. Paramiteabe... :fuzblink: |
Talking about this, when there is no way of doing it as of now, is a little bit far fetched. Yes, I'm serious about having an OWF convention...someday, but planning and getting excited about this whilst no major moolah linning our pockets is pointless. This may be 2...or even 4 years down the road. Let's talk serious when the way of this happening is in sight and not just a dream.

Agreed I just was stateing on how it can be done. But yeah remember right now its only a dream so don't get excited.
Paramiteabe... :fuzblink: |
I'd dreamed of an Oddworld Forums convention when I first joined the forums. The prospect appealed greatly to me, but as time went on, things just seemed to prove it would never happen.
Shame, as I'd like to slap a few people in real life ;) Alcar... |
Yeah 2006 would probably be a good year. By that time I'll be 18 and graduating high school. I like the convention idea, hey all of us could gather at a comic con or something just to meet I guess.
|
But who of us would still bother to come here in two years eh?
|
I've been here over two years, hobo, and I've no intention of leaving just yet.
|
if this board stays active why bother leaving?
|
:
|
im planning to stay for two years :)
|
As long as theres Oddworld I don't see why these boards won't exist. Ive been here since November 2001 so its been 2 and half years going onto three now.
I guess since it seems that most of you are waiting to be 18 I think thats a great time period to do this. I mean you guys are like what 15, 16, 17 somewhere in that area? |
well actually, like it says in my bio, im twelve. but anyways alcar who are those people you are wanting to slap? im very curios. anyway i cant wait to get this oddworld tour/convention to start (if it ever will).
|
Come to Massachusetts! Were Alcar is Alcah, chowder is chowdah, Nomar is Nomah and we pahk ah cahs in Hahvahd Yahd.
I'm lucky I can speak without a faggot-ass accent like the one mentioned ^. and no, I'm not making fun of accents. |
and there was actualy a reason you posted that???
