I am already promoting the game everywhere I can, in different forums throughout the Internet and talk everybody into it when I notice somebody is playing computer games just to bump the sales even more.

Come on Telltale, get us another Season, everybody is waiting for it...

    Pray LA gets a good pro-adventure director?

    I can already tell you. Telltale must be working on a new Maniac Mansion game, and LucasArts is working on Maniac Mansion: Special Edition.

    I want Telltale to announce new Tales of Monkey Island at E3

    I CAN DREAM!

    I heard that Telltale doesn't plan to make a new season until at least 20 forum members get over 4,000 posts.

    Another thing that might help contribute is having an obscenely large signature. The larger and bolder the text, the better! Animations are also great! Remember, if your posts take up more space than your signature, you're doing it wrong!

    Also helpful is making threads asking "When is Season Two coming out?"

    Just as a disclaimer, he is completely joking. I don't want any noobs to think "LULZ IF I PSOT A LTO TELTAL WILL MAKE NWE SAESON!!!"

    Don't do it.

    This is true though. Especially the part I bolded.

    Ignoring RDs' post. Just wait a while, since that "Cliffhanger" I doubt it'll be long before the release of Season 2.
    Just remember, Telltale said there were new IPs to be announced later this year; and we still have Sam & Max and Puzzle Agent coming out. Wait, and be patient.

    That is all.

    I've been wondering. Why do people say we should pray for LucasArts when Telltale is making the Tales? I mean, is the Monkey Island deal any different from Sam & Max? Why can't telltale release new Monkey games without having LucasArts telling them to?

    The current director has stepped down, and they are looking for a new one.

    We might get another one like before the current (SW only), and in that case it seems doubtful there is more MI for us.

    EDIT:
    Misread your post.
    That's because S&M is a IP from Steve Purcell, they made a deal with him.
    However Monkey Island is an IP from LucasArts, so they cannot make a ToMI2 without their specific authorisation...

    I doubt it'll be out this year, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was announced at E3 *next* year.

    LucasArts' posession of the Sam/Max license expired in 2005, so Telltale bought it. Monkey Island is still owned by LucasArts, and most likely will be forever, unless they decide to give it to Telltale after MI2:SE or something. Would be nice LucasArts :) Anyway, LucasArts and Telltale collaborated on TMI, whereas the Sam/Max seasons are a pure Telltale product.

    To accurately explain this:

    Steve Purcell owns Sam and Max. He created them as an independant comic strip before his work at LucasArts. He started work there as an artist, passed along some strips, and it was kind of a right time thing for LucasArts to license the characters to make a game. LucasArtrs owns the original parts of Hit the Road, essentially all the elements that do not show up in the comic strips. But Purcell owns everything else.

    LucasArts had a deal for exclusive rights to make a game based on Sam and Max, but those expired. They made the deal again for Freelance Police, but that game was never published, and rights reverted back to Purcell. He was able to license these rights to Telltale Games without LucasArts having anything to do with it.

    Monkey Island is different, because it was made by LucasArts employees for LucasArts. It didn't exist as anything else before it was a LucasArts game, so the company owns all of the rights to it. LucasArts and Telltale never had any money exchange hands until Tales of Monkey Island.
