I really hope not.

What with my post on the first page and all.

Leto · #92 01-20-2010, 03:38 AM

I like to think he reads my every word and values my opinion.

LOL

I've always like the Oddworld series and I like Lorne, but seriously? Everything now just feels like the dead parrot sketch from Monty Python.

Was that sketch part of the Flying Circus? If so, what episode?

I really doubt it...

Maybe he should.

***Xavier*** · #96 01-20-2010, 07:46 AM

Yeah, perhaps... but you aren't going to make him look at the forums, do you?

OANST · #97 01-20-2010, 07:52 AM

What?

No, really. I don't understand the question.

***Wil*** · #98 01-20-2010, 10:07 AM

I thought the complaint was that he's taking on so much he isn't focusing on one project. So you want him to start reading OWF.

That's not my complaint.

MojoMan220 · #**100** 01-20-2010, 02:23 PM

Personally, I'd be a little curious to see what my fans were saying about me. I wouldn't expect him to spend any substantial time reading threads regarding paramite pie recipes, but something like this... it's very possible he's taken at least a peak.

Leto · #**101** 01-20-2010, 03:03 PM

Lol. That is wishful thinking. He may have peeked at the forums a while ago, but not this particular thread.

Zukan · #**102** 01-20-2010, 05:35 PM

Don't listen to these losers Lorne, go beat the shit out of the system I've got your back.

Sekto Springs · #**103** 01-20-2010, 06:44 PM

I'm so sending him the link to this thread via Facebook. :3

skillya_glowi · #**104** 01-20-2010, 07:02 PM

Dunno, if I were him, I'd be pretty curious to see how his loyal fans are receiving the news of his new projects. We are pretty much the first ones to see the announcement and actually care, after all.

Sekto Springs · #**105** 01-20-2010, 07:14 PM

I'm not sure if Lorne is all that concerned with what we want anymore.
We're Oddworld fans, and though that intrinsically makes us Lorne fans too, he doesn't necessarily have to care about what we think anymore if he's not pursuing Oddworld-themed projects. He could leave us in the dust, floating around in limbo wondering what happened, while he pursues an entirely new fanbase.

Who knows? He could be creating something extremely different from Oddworld. In which case our input is somewhat useless. Granted, it would be a dick move to leave us hanging and neglect our opinions of his performance, but he doesn't necessarily have any obligation.

skillya_glowi · #**106** 01-20-2010, 07:31 PM

Well, I feel appreciated. :/

I could care less if he looked at the forums. I doubt it would change his mind on any particular thing, but it's human nature to want to know what people think about you and your ideas. Personally, I think it's a little arrogant not to take advantage of this focus group of sorts, but that's just me. It would take literally two minutes to come to this site every few months simply to gain some mild understanding of what's on the fans' minds.

Sekto Springs · #**108** 01-20-2010, 08:10 PM

Wasn't Alf actually Lorne or was it used by one of his hired staff?
Perhaps a multi used by anyone who worked at OWI?

skillya_glowi · #**109** 01-20-2010, 08:55 PM

Nah, Alf was a great fan from England who passed away.
If we're talking about the same Alf.

Sekto Springs · #**110** 01-20-2010, 09:01 PM

No, I'm referring to the member of OWF named Alf.
He served as OWI's official spokesperson on the forums, but also never broke character in the spirit of "Dear Alf".

skillya_glowi · #**111** 01-20-2010, 09:14 PM

Oh, then I have no clue. :P

If you could care less it means you care then

Thank you for this.

***Nate*** · #**114** 01-21-2010, 01:27 AM

To the best of my knowledge, Lorne never visits OWF. However, when I spoke to him in 2008, he did express a certain level of perplexed amazement and honour that there is still an active group of loyal fans interested in Oddworld.

***Xavier*** · #**115** 01-21-2010, 03:22 AM

That's the feeling I've always got Nate...

Oh and for those who are interested, Alf and Alf's Assistant were an OWI employees, not Lorne

Jesus, you spoke to him? How does one do this 0.o?

***Xavier*** · #**117** 01-21-2010, 03:38 AM

You go to him and talk to him... he's a friendly guy so it's not that hard actually.

Taco · #**118** 01-21-2010, 03:42 AM

I meant, how do you track him down?

It's easier than you think. That isn't to say that once you find him he'll give you the time of day though...
