Alf
p.s.t? Is that the same time zone as Washington? I'll have to figure out exactly when this is so I can join in.
Alf's a nice mud, this should be fun as long as we can avoid spammers. |
Spammers will be of no concern. I will take care of those, and if any other Operators are there they will too.
|
what's pst? can you please give the time in GMT so that anyone can calculate it. thanks
|
Fantastic! I'll leave "work" early so I can be there!
Nate_dog_woof, PST stands for Pacific Standard Time; The GMT equivalent would be 5:30pm + 8 hours, so it would be 2:30am November 2nd. |
GMT: I am not sure, honestly the only info I was given was really 5:30. Sorry, but still you should look out for that day and come. I know the regualrs will be there for it. If you have the time just check in there, as early as you can.
EDIT: Blah I didn't see that Pilot :D Okay he explained it. Thanks for that. So yes come people, it will be fun. |
Wow!
If i'm correct, please tell me if i'm wrong as I don't want to miss this! But would that be 10:30am November 2nd for me considering my +8 hours from GMT for Australia? Guess what Operators! This means we can use those cool voice and moderation features, like the previous OWI - OWF oddchats! Can't wait! :D Alcar... |
How did this come about? It's been a long time since we have had any kind of OddChat, and I've always wanted to have one again, but I don't like asking OWI as it's not really my place.
I am sure I can be there, as it will be a weekend and no work to worry about! :) Although can I please have my OddChat Operator status restored? For some reason it is gone and I have lost all of my privlages. :( Abe Babe... |
Oh, another Oddworld Chat, another early morning. Id est, another one I can't attend. Unless...
*checks* Hmmm, it's early Saturday morning. We'll have to see. Advice anyone? *anticipates the transcript anyway* |
3:30 am?
wow well okay, I will be there! hopefully I make a stick of thisl, like Kai asked |
f*** !!!
Please let me curse a little! I'm gone snowboarding then! Be sure to post a transcript afterwards please! |
Ugh, im sure he/she doesn't want it all about OW, im sure (s)he'd rather have a polite convo with jokes and quips at people then to be swamped with:
"WOWIE!! WHY ARE YOU CALLED ALF!?" "What will Munch do in the next game!?" "Will Abe be able to swim in ME?!" "Whats the next game going to be called?!" "Are you my daddy?" |
so true...
|
i will try to be there to chat..................................

ALf CHat
Pacific Standar Time? I think that's what I'm in so the time should be pretty easy for me.
And Jacob you are probably right. My guess is it will be really hectic with everyone trying to ask stupid guestions that they already know Alf won't be allowed to answer. I just hope Alf dosn't get scared away to quick. |
My only advice for you Max is to go to bed really early. Ok so 5: 30? dose anyone know what time that would be E.S.T? (Eastern Standered Time)?
Edit- Oh, and I'd just like to thank Kai for putting this together for us and Alf for agreeing to it and actually taking the time to answer out questions.:fuzwink: |
I'll be there. VOice thingies? Sounds like fun. He does come by a lot though, but I guess its nice that this is a set time.
|
Ee! Alfie's coming!! *puts on good clothing and gets them dirty immediatly* I'll try to be good and not set off any stink bo9mbs this time! *crosses fingers behind back* hehe, I said I'll TRY.....

Let me just quickly explain how this came about. Alf visits Oddchat once in awhile, I and he thought it would be a good idea if he came monthly, to do a short Alf chat where you ask him Oddworld related questions. He said he would love to do this, and would get back to me on it later. Sure enough he did, and now on the First of November he will do it. The chatroom will be controled, and made so that everyone has a chance to ask Alf questions orderly. This is how it all came along. Note this will only be monthly if it turns out okay.

TIME?!?!?! ...01/11/2002

When does Alf appear on Oddworld Chat in Japan Standard Time? :) |
Damn:fuzmad:damn:fuzmad:damn:fuzmad:damn!!!!!
It's on a friday night/saturday. I can go as I'm Jewish. if it happens again, can you please organise it for a saturday night/sunday? thanks |
one question per person? seems a very good Idea!
we sould do an appart topic about this in The GD |
Re: ALf CHat
:
Which means, only Alf and the Admins/Operators will be able to speak, in order to get your question in you'll have to send a Person to Person message with the question in it. I'm sure that's how it was done before, I wouldn't know though as I only had the chance of going to one, and missed it because of a stupid firewall. But, there is no way i'm missing out on this one! Alcar... |
We agree with you.
;)
|
The Operators in there will be:
Also, Operators you are to have your proper forum username during the entire length of the chat. And I might as well place this up on Oddworld Universe, i'm in need of some news and plus i'm sure other Oddworld fans not on the forums deserve to know *hopes that excuse fools everyone* ;) Alcar... |
I will not be a operator?
ah?:fuzblink: |
lol poor Xavier. *picks up Xavier and tosses him in Oddchat*

Good news everyone. I've discussed the matter with my cat, and it looks like it should be possible for me to turn up.
I work out 8 hours more than 5:30pm to 1:30am, not 2:30. Urg, time zones are confusing. So what is it? |
I think I will be there.
but I'm not 100% sure. what will be opp. able to do? what will visitors able to do? |

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I cant come on at that time
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :flames: :flames: :flames: :flames: :flames: :flames: |
Well I have off the day after Halloween though Im not sure if the musical will run into the time. Oh well its not like its me talking to him personally its like it being sent second hand. Also its ok, I have talked with him on oddchat a couple time before when he just popped in, and it was him because it was his Ip being hosted off Oddworld.com. So really its not like its a big loss, I rather much personally talk to him through a Dear Alf letter, or when he occasionally pops in, and thats fun times just talking to him when he does.;)
That doesnt mean I wont try and show up, buts its no big loss for me. And dont worry Xav, Im not an Op either. Not all of the staff members are, including us. So no worries. -Al the Vykker - |
hi ,
so is that 3.30 am for us brits as well?? and is it really only one question per person?? damn. i want to ask alf loads but i guess its fare since other people may ask the same question or alf may just give an obtuse answer. |
It appears that the chat won't be formal, it's going to be informal where everyone can ask questions, although it will have to have some sort of rules, we can't have people just asking questions like crazy.
If it gets out of control then it will have to be moderated. Just thought I'd let you know, as I gave you false information on it before, see you there! Alcar... |
Well thats a rubbish idea, come on, do you really want children making complete tossers out of themselves and asking RIDICULOUS questions and saying stuff like;
"*Runs up and gives Alf a hug and kiss before stealing his teabags*" No... |
I was hoping something like this would happen. I am still a little messed up with the time though. What is the EST for the OWI chat, anyone know?
|
Don't forget!!
