[QUOTE=TopHatLayton;30215836]I always think about asking for an autograph and then backing out because of all the people asking and I don't want to spam their inbox. I wait a week and think about it again and suddenly there's 10 more people getting autographs. This cycle has been repeating for two months.[/QUOTE] Go for it, but dont spam them if you got no response, sometimes it takes a looong time. (example 2 months)

I got a reply in 2 minutes asking for my address.

I've emailed with a marketing suggestion, then I might ask for a autograph. Dunno if I should, they might be getting tired. Also, if any one actually got an autograph anything, got any pictures? Would love to see it. Then rob you.

[QUOTE=Squarebob;30225334]What did you suggest to them?[/QUOTE] I would tell you, but I kinda keep my ideas to myself. But I can give a hint to smartphone people. Also, emailed at 11 Central US Time, no reply yet. ( It's 3 o' clock.) Hint: [img]http://i.imgur.com/oUAgK.png[/img]

Offering another copy of Portal 2 with an Autograph? Wow valve

I told her that Chet and Erik would be the best for Portal 2 [img]http://imgkk.com/i/njs4.png[/img]

i sent a email to Moby Francke.Hoping on a response ( It's been 2 days )

Does anyone here actually email Valve for reasons other than free swag?

Should i send in my copies of HL2, Orange Box, CSS, L4D1 and 2 to be signed, or get a signed copy of Portal 2 with Erik and Chet on it?

[QUOTE=Smashman;30226748]My curiosity, it flares. Well that was boring. OnLive.[/QUOTE] Ah, Smashman, I've seen your posts before. And yes. That. Also, I sent a request to Alison K., got a reply. RE: A request. From: Alison Krey <alisonk@valvesoftware.com> To: Me Sure. What’s your mailing address? ■ Alison Krey ■ Valve Corporation ■ [email]alisonk@valvesoftware.com[/email] ■ From: Me Sent: Friday, June 03, 2011 1:54 PM To: Alison Krey Subject: A request. Hello. My (user)name is Lunanite. I have a Steam account in that name. I have bought HL2:DM, have Portal, bought Garry's Mod(Made with the wonderful Source engine, tell the coders they are gods), and am buying the Orange Box sometime next week. I love everything Valve was to offer, whether it be the wonderful games and mod support, or the amazing updating/buying/everything else software Steam is. Without you guys, I'd be stuck a corner all day, shaking. And since I've been told you guys are nice to the fan base, I was wondering if I could get an autograph of some kind. Nothing much, just something. And if you will allow me to get over-expecting, I would love something from the coders or writers of the Half Life series. They rock. And if I'm not mistaken (pardon if I am), you are a administrative assistant . And I've found that you receive many, many, *etc manys* e-mails from people, 24/7. I would like to thank you for your support of the people who love the company you work for. Thanks. ~Lunanite P.S. Please excuse wall of text.

Do you guys think it would be possible to ask Valve for some TF2 voiceactor autographs, or should I in that case track down each voiceactor, as I doubt they hang around the Valve office?

[QUOTE=Carne;30227147]Do you guys think it would be possible to ask Valve for some TF2 voiceactor autographs, or should I in that case track down each voiceactor, as I doubt they hang around the Valve office?[/QUOTE] Sure, the first one. Its worth a shot. You might get lucky and they can access voice actors.

Heres the complete email conversation. [url=http://imgkk.com/i/7qlw.png][img]http://imgkk.com/t/7qlw.png[/img][/url]

I feel kind of an ass asking people at valve for free stuff, they must get so many requests for autographs and things.

I'm happy that I didn't even ask when they sent me Portal 2 with Gabe's signature and the digipens of portal signatures.

I want to email and ask for an autograph, but I'm never lucky with these types of things :smith:

Holy caboly! Took Alison Krey less than 2 hours to respond to my e-mail!

[QUOTE=Carne;30230446]Holy caboly! Took Alison Krey less than 2 hours to respond to my e-mail![/QUOTE] It took her 15 minutes for me.

[QUOTE=Squarebob;30230655]It took her 15 minutes for me.[/QUOTE] Jog on :( Though Chet once replied to me 20 minutes after I sent him an e-mail. It was awesome.

Chet responded to me once in less than 5 mins

Alison K responded to me in 7 minutes. I'm waiting for my autograph. And if anyone from Valve is listening, STOP LISTENING. It ruins the effect.

i just sent one i await the reply
