Alf's word...

[Xavier]

Found on Oddworld.com

Dear Rehabbers,

I've decided to take a bit of a sabbatical. A break, a vacation, leave, furlough. You've been truly gracious, putting up with my saucy witticisms, and I've accepted your slanderous back-talk with tears of admiration (Bet you're wondering if Muds really have tear ducts, eh?) Together we've gleefully decimated the pleasantries and formalities of the common FAQ. Now it's time to lock up the rehab, power down the computer, mute the ringer, and take off to travel this big ball of dust called Oddworld in search of the most exotic teas, the most outlandish tabloids, and all things odd.
Until then... Stay Odd!

Yours Sincerely,

Alf
Proprietor, Alf's Rehab and Tea

Thank you Alf.

I see two things in there, new areas of oddworld being discovered
No word of the inhabitants before a loooong time

and yes, I'll stay Odd!

[mudling]

does this mean no alf? it was so great how that guy replied to our letters. maybe he is just on long service leave, or on holiday, i can only hope that. he doesn't seem that mad in this though.

[Rich]

It means Oddworld don't want the Dear Alf section overun with questions about the future of the company, which looks very grim to me anyway.

[Oddish]

That's a bit... sad. I'll miss that good old tea drinking mudokon.

Thanks Alf! You've been great to us.

[mudling]

that was one of my favourite sections of oddworld.com. it told interesting things about oddworld, things that were funny and discuising what realy happened. and now all the people who posted to alf, well i guess there questions will be unanswered.
ok, i basically said this in my first post, but i felt the need to express my feelings. i am hoping oddworld will still last.

[Oddish]

Is Alf's Assistant left too? Just woundering.

[Abe16]

So...., Alf's taking a vacation. He deserves one for answering all our questions.

[mudling]

i think it's a little bit more than a vacation.

[odd chick]

That's a bit... sad. I'll miss that good old tea drinking mudokon.

Thanks Alf! You've been great to us.

I'm a bit confused..did he leave permanently or just temporarily? Anyway, I agree. You have been great to us for answering so many questions for so many years, Alf. Thanks!

[Hunk of Steef]

His way of avoiding the answer is kind of annoying anyway.

[Nepharski]

His way of avoiding the answer is kind of annoying anyway.

That what makes him Alf. That's why we love him. If he made sense, we'd probably pelt him with rotten tomatoes and run him out of town.

Seeya Alf. And yes, I will stay Odd.

[The Marching Mudokon]

See ya Alf! I always liked reading the Dear Alf section, I hope Alf comes bach soon though.

[Five]

yeah, I've read that on Oddworld official site...
I think that Alf deserves a vacation and I hope that when he will come back (because he will? Right?), he will have more strenght and even bigger sense of humour.
Take care, Alf
And you bet that I will stay Odd.

[Solitus]

I begin to wonder if this is a step closer to never seeing the mudokons in the Oddworld games again first SW now this, it's sad cause abe was like one of those heroes like sonic and super mario and now he will perish like he never even existed

[Oddish]

I'm a bit confused..did he leave permanently or just temporarily? Anyway, I agree. You have been great to us for answering so many questions for so many years, Alf. Thanks!

Well I don't think he'll back in a long time, and mentioned "leave"

Looks like this place will be a dead for a while, because we have no idea when we'll see new news on oddworld, good be months, I don't know.

[Fuzzleman54321]

Alf I will miss you! I will stay odd!

[Dipstikk]

Be careful, Alf. Those Scrabs are ravenous.

Take care, my main Mud.

[Joe the Glukkon]

Oh.... man! *tear*

See ya Alf!

[stingbee]

good luck alf me and my friends will stay odd goodbye buddy

[Xavier]

Is Alf's Assistant left too? Just woundering.

I'm not sure Alf completly left...

[MojoMan220]

I doubt the guy will ever return, he's probably one of the employees who got laid off in the downsizing. It just feels like the company is falling apart, so I'm not very optimistic about all these major changes.

[odd chick]

You could be right about the laid off part. But I'm still not sure if he left for good or not, though. =/

[Hunk of Steef]

Good thought, Mojoman, I was too busy thinking about it in ODD terms to think about it in real life.

[stingbee]

I hope oddworld isn't going to shutdown I really want them to finish the quintolligy

[Hunk of Steef]

Yes, I wouldn't have been mad if they had never done Stranger and stuck with the Quint. Real good story, there.

[Mudokon Princess]

This...SUCKS!! Well, we will all miss you Alf, and I most surely will stay odd!!

[Xavier]

I realy want something clear
something official about the future

we don't realy know anything about what is going to come

[Nath]

Well Alf said he's taking a bit of a sabbatical, which basically means he'll come back when he's fit and healthy, and ready for some more of our (or your) annoying questions.

So all I can say now is 'see ya pall' (and don't catch rabies)

[Xavier]

I guess Alf will be back when a new project will be launched and be announced to the public

[Oddish]

Alf mentioned "leave" aswell. I think Alf himself dosn't know when he's coming back, it's up to him realy if he dose.
