*giggles and looks in the mailbox... stares blankly.*
You have made a powerful enemy this day, OWI. Revenge will be mine... bwuhahaha.

Oddsville · #33 12-11-2002, 06:53 PM

And I could um..send it to Alf....Yeah I'll send it to him! *stare blankley at forum room as everyone just stares back blankly**cricket chirps*... Yeah I guess anyone could do that, just trying to help. *walks off*

I got my card the other day; It's pretty darn neat.

BigBro · #35 12-12-2002, 03:52 AM

I just got mine today (12th). I thought it was pretty cool to get something from them coz I wasnt expecting it. I only signed up this year so I havent recieved any of the others

. If someone was so kind, could they show the past cards? Pwease???

EDIT: I also like the idea of giving them a Christmas card back. We should get someone who is the best at doing images to do it though, coz we dont want it to look tacky. But it looks like we've already nominated Mac.

Let's do it! A Christmas card from all us forum memebrs! OWI has done so much for us, let's make 'em feel special and tell them how much we love them!!

What can I do to help? Someone give me orders!

BigBro · #37 12-12-2002, 04:16 AM

Fetch me an alcoholic beverage, boy.

If you need help with the X-mas card, I'm putting myself available to give a hand

I can draw a character in some Christmas-y pose and scan it
coloring can be done in Photoshop

If anyone has ideas, lets post ' em

I myself think it would be funny to have a Glukkon in a Santa suit with a Slig as an elve

BigBro · #40 12-12-2002, 09:59 AM

Id love to do something, but our poota got "fixed" and PSP got uninstalled. Until then we'll just have to get people to show us some basic ideas and we'll chose the best looking one.

***Xavier*** · #41 12-12-2002, 11:05 AM

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

Mac the Janitor · #42 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 · #43 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!

***Xavier*** · #44 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.

Al the Vykker · #53 12-16-2002, 04:51 PM

???????? WHY????

:

Fuzzles roasting on an open fireFuzzles roasting on an open fire,
Interns beatinf 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 lovinf Glukkonfs 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-daysc. to you.
-from Alf and all the Inhabitants,

M.O.M · #55 12-17-2002, 03:16 PM

Fez · #56 12-17-2002, 04:10 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 · #59 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 · #60 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.......
