Nomination of a representative to contact Volition
In a (vague) continuation from this thread, it seems you (or the majority) want to contact Volition and require a representative for this task.

First, a few things that I wish to emphasize.

1: The chosen representative will be contacting Volition for the community, not for Hard Light Productions. You will not represent us - but rather the community in general and their overall wishes/concerns...

2: The community will put together this message, or some points they want bought up. They too will not represent HLP as a website - but the FreeSpace community.

3: One person will do this thing. I can just imagine how irritated Volitions employees would become if they were flooded with calls from the community. Now is not the time to annoy them, but to try and get some sort of a reply. You stand a better chance of this if you have one person step forward for all - rather than 15 all asking similar but slightly different questions.

4: Volitions contact details will be treated with the greatest of respect. They are a business and, while in the games industry there can be a blurring of the line between them and their fans - they must still be respected as such. You do not act certain ways towards your bank or your peers at work - so you will not act these ways to Volition.

With this in mind, the objective of this thread is to talk amongst yourselves and choose a suitable candidate to contact Volition. If you cannot stick to the topic then this thread will be locked.

With that in mind, good luck.

Edit / Update: While honored that you might suggest me - there's no way I can afford to call the US from England, I suggest you find someone who can either afford it - or for preference lives in the United States.

I've already said I'm willing to do this.

I've had very little contact with [V] personally though so if someone who has wants to step up I won't complain :)

Plus since I live in the UK it would be better for my phone bill :D

Icefire or Ace, coz they're already in friendly terms with them, and they know their stuff too. Additionally, they're both able to keep their cool (unlike me, for exemple ).

Icefire, he knows the guys over there better than most of us.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

I think that Adam (Ace) or Colin (IceFire) should make this call. I really respect these two guys and they would represent the FS community very well.

While we're here what should Icefire (or me if he refuses) ask?

Obviously number 1 question is if they really are in contact with Interplay to aquire the license  (and if they say no I guess I should ask them if they would tell me lies if they were :D ).

Getting a contact number for interplay would be useful I suppose.

What else needs to be said?

I guess their opinions on the whole Derek Smart matter would be interesting regardless of whether they are in talks or not. Certainly sounds worth asking them if they would co-operate with Derek Smart if he did get the license.

I've mentioned the idea using the "Buy the FS2 Licence" money we hope to raise as a part payment to a developer. Worth mentioning that?

I never managed to visit Volition in person, so IceFire I'd say would be the best bet.

If Wildwolf was actively lurking and interested in some 'community service' he, I think, would be an even better choice (no offense Ice) because he worked there for a while.

Inquisitor would be another good choice, but I think that people who have actually been with Volition or visited with them would be best.

My vote is either for IceFire, or indeed Steak. Although everyone's right in that list has a good group of candidates.

Thanks for all the nominations.  I've been getting them on ICQ as well :)

Way to make my busiest of weeks even crazier.  Let me talk to a few people before anything else is said.   So neither a yes or a no from me yet.  Keep talking :)
