errr, I pull a John Kerry and support whoever everyone decides upon. Kara, Icefire and Steak are all good choices, though Icefire and Steak might not want to shoulder the cost of calling internationally.

Am I the only one who is in favour of drafting some sort of manifesto for the whole FS3/Derek Smart/Volition/Interplay situation? If no one does it, I'll probably come up with somrthing in the next few days.

edit: my bad, all the above mentioned people live outside the US, including Kara.

Id vote for Icefire or Setekh due to their professional nature in handling conversations.

i'd nominate myself or someone close to them, since so far of all the people mentioned (Setekh = Australia, IceFire = Canada) i'm the only one that could contact Volition without paying long-distance call charges... perhaps you guys had better think of them too, and how much they'd have to pay (particularly Setekh, a call around the world would be a fortune) to speak to Volition.  someone local would be the best bet... or someone with unlimited long-distance calling.

as long as the person is respectful, they'd hardly have to be patient, since they're talking to Volition, who are our allies ;) and everyone likes them :D

Hey...  Adam P. just got back to me with some questions I had about the story line from FS2...

*sniping a bunch of questions *

And lastly, the one that everyone wants to know...
(10) Would you be willing to make FS3 if given the rights to it?  :-)

I assume you mean "you" in the studio-wide sense.  As such, I can't speak for the studio by saying we're willing or unwilling to do anything.  There's certainly some personal attachment to the FreeSpace series here, but that's just one factor.  We pick projects based on a wide variety of factors.

I don't know anything specific regarding Derek Smart and FS3, so I can't offer anything useful there.

Icefire seems pretty commited. I dont think he'll mind the long distance charges as long as he gets to say what he wants to say. BTW, Stealth is a pretty usable candidate as well.

Sounds like a nice way of saying "We do what THQ tells us".

And Steak's already going to end up heading a lot of stuff, no need to pile more on one person than is really necessary.

AND he's not here right now.

Yea, we need to get someone whose here today. This situation has the chance to develop very rapidly (already has somewhat.)

Is everyone discounting Shrike in this?  While i think that all of the aforementioned candidates are great choices and would represent us well, let's not leave anyone else out of the discussion.  Styxx lives way down south in Brazil, and i don't know where Shrike lives, but i would think that either of them fit in nicely with the group mentioned.  To be perfectly honest my vote goes to Ace.  He knows them AND has heard first hand from Derek Smart.

Rictor: Which is perfectly true, and normal for any subsidiary. If THQ says "no", then THQ is their employer. I doubt any of 'em are willing to quit over vague hypotheticals.

What about Bob or Eish? Don't they live within "local call" range? :D

That was a cheap shot...

BTW, is this gonna be a face to face contact?

Surely not, which ever one gets it cheap and doesn't mind doing it, they can easily decide. :)
