This should probably be in the Suggestions forum, but I'm not sure if it's a very practical idea, so hence, I'm posting this here.
Anyways, I was thinking. As most of you agree, MT is a great community. Mad friendly, and plenty of users, right? So why not hold a nice big convention somewhere? I mean, obviously there are flaws and stuff, such as we have to consider those who live in other countries and whatnot, and not everyone can afford to fly to a convention for a couple of days. Oh, and the cost to set it all up..sounds scary! I'm sure the admin/mods have enough to do as it is as well...
But I think it'd be great fun, if it ever occured. It'd be a nice little social gathering where all can play games, relax, chill out, go out with other members into town, wherever it may be. Hell, contests and giveaways along with demos of up and coming artists can be shown there to promote themselves can be set up.
Maybe it'd happen for 2-3 days at some hotel. I dunno. Just thinking and using ideas from such events as that Quake convention in Texas a while back, or TGS and E3.
This is probably more of a rant than anything...but I just wanted to voice my idea, regardless of whether it'd occur or not. Does it sound good? Who knows, but at any rate, I want to hear everyone's opinion!
And for my closing comment, I'd like to break out 50 Twister boards tape them together, and declare that we all play Strip Twister. :)
Thank you for taking the time to read this!
