Well how do you trust people on the Internet? You can't its just impossible. To get around that where that issue no longer applys is what I am trying to explane.
Well the idea is on the table. And I believe our first OWF convention will take place eather (now this an estimated guess) but it would take place in 2006 maybe. I am tentively looking at that year as a possable time frame when it could happen.
But it is official there will be a Convention down the road Oddguy knows it and I know it. Oh yes there will be a Convention! Some how some way we are going to do this. And if it is successful then it could be an annual thing but we will just have to wait and see.
The question here is how do we make enough money and how do we pull it off where its convient in a way that makes it not a huge problem for everybody around the world? Getting a sponsor from Lorne Lanning is indeed a great way around that. One of us can write a letter signed by all of us to Lorne Lanning telling him about what we want to do and asking him kindly if he would like to sponsor our little Oddworld shin gig! And Lorne loves us because not only we give him bread on his table every night but we are his fans and as his fans we support him. I don't think he would turn down such a request then again ya never know. But why does that have to stop us? Why can't we give it a try? And so what if it doesn't work it doesn't work. But to not even attempt it because we think it won't work is crazy. Granted the potential of it not working is there but everything has a chance of not working.
The E3 takes place in one location but people from all over the world go to it. Why because it popular and its video games not to mention billions of dollars goes into running it. I am not saying get a billion dollars I am saying make something small but related only small instead of big.
How do you pull off a fan base event where it won't be any problem for anybody? The only logical solution I think of would be to make it public where everyone is invited not just us the fans on this forum. Make it public and general and people would come and its like they come and they go and well it would be a choice thing as oppose to something arranged and all of a sudden that person can't do it for what ever reason. But then again there is the issue of the real world, will people be intrested?
A lot of questions but I think with our creativity we can actually pull something like this off and thats my own opinion. Ya know all I got to say is if you want something you got go for it because its not going to come to you. Your not going to get rich over night, your not going to become famous you got to want it and that is the only way to pull it off.
