But will this be a physical meeting?

[jdjtcagle]

can't answer that...

[MatthewPapa]

Lol, I could drive there but my parents would think I am a little nuts.

[ShadowWolf_IH]

OK, so far this is the tally, i'm just gunna lay the top 5 out there.

Icefire--17
Karajorma--5
Setekh--5
Ace--4
Inquisitor--3

I guess we have spoken.  so if for some reason ice decides against it, i say we just let Kara and steak figure out which of them wants to do it, if either.

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.

Not to be petty, but long-distance charges within the US are hardly worth quibbling over -- internationally, it's more of any issue (as is the time difference).  

But unless you plan on being on the phone for twelve hours solid, this should be worth the three bucks it will cost to make the call, whether they're in Boston or LA.  If the supported nominee can't/won't pay that, send me a bill and I'll gladly cover it  

No offense intended, Stealth.

I'll refrain from nominating/supporting anyone since I haven't been active here for a long, long time.  But I'm more than willing to add my opinion

I'd have 3 top coices, no real order, but each with a reason:

karajorma; because he's profound and respected
Icefire; he's actually met them, and knows them best
Bobbaou; he's very local (both Illinois IIRC) so calling shouldn't be extremely hard, and easier face to face if required...

[IceFire]

Trying to do this via internet medium rather than phone medium so as not to break the bank.  I'm also due for weekend leadership training session/camping and vacation...so this is not a good time.

Still doing what I can.  See what comes.

Is phone-phreaking out of the question?

Go back to sleep.

*sniff* only 3 votes *sniff*

Only advice, apart from my existing requests.

Keep your strong suit. Ask as the press. Ask as a representative of HLP about the state of the state. You got no clout as just a community member.

That being said, Icefire is probably the guy to make a call like that, unless you think PlanetDescent should be bugging Volition

And for you folks in North America: If your cell phone doesn't give you free long distance, you are getting ripped off

[Stryke 9]

What is this "cell phone" you speak of?

Really, phones are bad enough already. Why would you pay extra and court a brain tumor for the specific purpose of never being able to get away from one again, ever?

[ShadowWolf_IH]

We can't afford cell phones, we are too busy buying up all of the modelling and texturing programs we see

[Bobboau]

Icefire
Setekh
Thunder

though Icefire is the only one who realy could do it from a practical point of view, he does live on the same contenent as V after all.

[Singh]

Icefire.
Karajoma.
Setekh.
Thunder.

preferably anyone who knows where the V center is and can get there.

[Bobboau]

thinking abour it a bit more, Inqisitor would probly be as good if not slightly better, becase he is a gamedev himself (a _real_ gamedev).
so to me it's prety much Icefire, becase of his extensive exsisting relationship with V,  
or Inquisitor due to his general experience in the gameing world, and he also has an exsisting relation ship with V that is more profesional,

WildWolf has been MIA for the last few years, so I on't thinkhe would realy work as a good leason between us and V, but the fact that he worked there is defenately a plus, but I think we'd have an easier chance of finding someone from V themselves than WW

[Turnsky]

Icefire, due to having actually met the guys at V. i think a familiar face with them would be advantageous,

if not ice, then, Iquisitor..

[Gloriano]

Inquisitor
IceFire

[karajorma]

Don't worry about the phone costs for me too much. My girlfriend is currently working in America. When you make 30 mins worth of calls to the states a day a twenty or thirty minute chat with [V] will barely show up

I've got a very good long distance deal to the States anyway thanks to the phone company.
