I like them! Good job! :)

Which was one of the main points made in the petition letter. Let's just hope they are as wise as we are. ;)

Happy new years, everyone! :) Without raising expectations too high, DanQ has reached the PR director of Firaxis which I failed to get a respond from. She said she would gladly(!) forward the letter to 2K and see what comes out of it. She will keep him (DanQ) posted, and he will let me know...

I've sent the same mail twice with no respond. DanQ, head of Apolyton.org, who has actually met the people in question, has agreed to forward the petition on our behalf. Let's see if it gives any results.

Mail sent. Awaiting reply.

I've done some changes to the inital letter, adjusted it to fit in Reynolds' endorsement, and various other changes, and will send it on Monday. I figure it will be easier to spot our email when the Firaxis PR & Marketing director checks the mail box Monday morning. So cross your fingers...

I got another mail from Reynolds today. May be because I over flattered-him, calling civ2 his Sistine Chapel :D, or just that he is a straight up jovial fellow. :) Anyway, This is what he vouched for us to pass on to 2K:

Ok, here we go: Bascially Brian doesn't own the code, nor does he know exactly whom to contact to get it. He says that the source code for Civ 1, 2, 3, and 4 all rest with Take 2, which is also were Sid Meier works. This he points out might be to our benefit, that we may get higher up in the...

Surreal news. Brian responded to my email. Don't send the letter, Alex. I'll give you guys an update shortly.

Hey, this might be a real Brian email-address: brian -at- igda -dot- org (http://www.igda.org/contact.php) Either way, I gave it a shot and emailed him the petition to that address. :)

Hey, this might be Brians' real email-address: brian -at- igda -dot- org (http://www.igda.org/contact.php) Either way, I gave it a shot and emailed him the petition to that address. :)

Mail sent. Best of luck!

PM me your email and I will.

There was a letter. But first some quasi-approached to get Reynolds' attention were made, as there was no way to contact him directly. Big Huge Games (BHG) also has nothing to do with Civ2, so this would have to be a personal letter to Reynolds, who might hold the secret as to where the code is...

I quite agree with all the above posters. Impressive work! :goodjob:
