[QUOTE=Kirbyfactor;36107489]It's been 4 weeks now,anyone else had to wait that long?[/QUOTE] Me, currently.

I'm thinking about buying this: [url]http://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Princess-Skimmer-Dolphin/dp/B004PBF1WW/ref=pd_sim_t_1[/url] And giving it to Mary on behalf of everyone at FP for the awesomeness and kindness that she has given to everyone here. Thoughts?

[QUOTE=Maruhai;36107500]Me, currently.[/QUOTE] Same. But for a reply :/

Can you guys like make a card or something, so I can include it with the plushie? [editline]28th May 2012[/editline] Well just noticed everyone already made a card. If the card hasn't been sent yet, I'd love to print it and deliver it personally next week to her.

[QUOTE=Ctrl+Alt+Llama;36106550]Joel is very much alive and kicking. He was on a contract with Valve but now hes a full employee. Joel's job is a big one organizing a lot of stuff. Mary was brought in to handle fan requests to help ease the work load of the front desk. It was recently Joel's birthday. He is very happy at Valve and i'm sure all your kind gestures you gave him over the year were very much appreciated. Edit: Danm it EX EX[/QUOTE] Ah, okie doke. Thanks guys! Great to hear he's a full employee and is doing great! =D

I've still yet to mail that box of hats. I must do that some day

Joel's official position at Valve is to melt down all the crowbars from OPERATION: IMPATIENCE and sculpt them into a statue based on [URL="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1847874/greatnewell.png"]this[/URL].

I ordered the Dolphin! I'll try to get a picture of Mary with the Dolphin to share with you guys. (Hopefully).

I would love to. Just send me the file and I'll get it printed in high quality.

[QUOTE=testinglol;36115885]thats not being impatient.[/QUOTE] Believe it or not, I had forgotten it was called Operation: Crowbar, so I put in the first word that came to mind when I thought about the event.

What's Mary's email?

[email]marym@valvesoftware.com[/email]

Thank you

Seeing you guys got all that awesome stuff, makes me kinda jealous. I only got a portal 2 mousepad and some stickers :v:

They send what they want to send, if you beg them for free shit, "Plz gve me lots of free stuff! I want dis, dat, deese, and dose!" they won't send you anything. Be happy with what you got, and try to enjoy it.

Does Mary reply back after she asks for your address when you've sent her your address?

[QUOTE=Confuzzed Otto;36116712]Seeing you guys got all that awesome stuff, makes me kinda jealous. I only got a portal 2 mousepad and some stickers :v:[/QUOTE] I want to punch you very badly for being a bitching asshole. You don't deserve the stuff.

[QUOTE=ryandeering;36148405]Does Mary reply back after she asks for your address when you've sent her your address?[/QUOTE] She did for me when she found out I live in an area where she lived for a time. Other than that I don't know. Probably not.

I've since lost the email, but I emailed Robin Walker about the Fan-o-War description not being a haiku. He sent a reply in Japanese.

[QUOTE=ryandeering;36148405]Does Mary reply back after she asks for your address when you've sent her your address?[/QUOTE] she didn't for me

I sent an email to Mary! I'm hoping for a mouse pad because at the moment my old one ripped after years of service... And I'm stuck with this extremely small one. I need one because the surface of my desk apparently isn't usable for my mouse...

It's almost been a year now since I emailed Valve, asking if I could mail in some games and get them signed. They okay'd it. I sent them in. That was that. I've emailed front desk, and Gabe, both several times. No responses, not one. I mailed my heart to Seattle, but you didn't send me a reply, Gaben. [url]http://youtu.be/4eWjnpQodWo[/url]

[QUOTE=En Ex;36172393]But did you email the front desk under the aegis of Mary?[/QUOTE] I actually emailed Mary using the email posted above. Figured that'd be worth a shot, with how much people here seem to like her.

So I emailed Mary and I asked her if I could send my HL2: Raising the Bar book to have them sign it. She replied like 10 minutes after and she said yes and gave me the shipping address to send it to. I am excited.

Yesterday it was 5 weeks ago that Mary said she'd mail me goodies, should I keep waiting or send her an email askins her about it?
