yeah, we'll cross that console laden bridge if/when we have to.

Ahh, but I have no problems at all with it begin made for the consoles, as :V: ports it's console games to PC anyways. I just think that this way, both PC players and console players will get the best that they can get on their respective platforms. I have nothing against consoles, it is just that current consoles can not beat high-end PC when it comes to space sims. I would still buy FS3 if it was a port from a console.

And I agree about Mr. Smart in this case. I have yet to play any of his games, but he certainly does seem to be a major asshole.

Another idea: what about ground missions? Would such thing be possible?

[Inquisitor]

Todd's the one who got me in touch with them. I have been asking about SCP related stuff, PXO concerns, that sort of thing.  As I settle that, I will inquire as appropriate about other things. If someone else is "nominated" let them do it. Everyone calling will just piss people off that we shouldn't be pissing off. It costs money to answer the phone.  

However, it sounds like we got pretty straightforward, believeable answers from Todd, in about as an offical capacity as "concerned fans" are likely to get.

The whole press community has been trying to get comments from Interplay for months. They get what they are given. And that's all, we're not going to get anything but directed to a press release if we DO manage to get an Interplay rep on the phone. Even saying please won't help.

A big dose of "go play a game" is in order here. Want to help? Paly some FSO and help us find bugs. That's a constructive use of energy, and will actually accomplish something, and improve the game you love.

[Knight Templar]

I'd say Icefire, Inquisitor, or Ace.

Even so, if you're in constant contact with them, then you're the prime canditate. Depends on werther or not you have time/**** like that.

It's great seeing all this stuff pan out. I missed pretty much all the early modding stuff (infrequent vists to VBB not withstanding)

I didn't  think anyone from V (ex or current) paid any attention to FS anymore.

[Starks]

I'm so glad that I was able to finally give back to the FS2 community and HLP... I never expected my phonecall would lead to a mobilization of the community to send reps to :V:...

[IceFire]

I'd say that things are as well in hand as they should be.  So while I appreciate the groundswell of support for me to speak to them I believe all that we're ever going to get has just been achieved.

As I have said...if they are doing something about we'll get no-comment, if they aren't...we'll get no comment.  All we can do is tell them what we feel.  That may be better expressed by a simple note on a website.

I trust WildWolfs judgement on this as well.  He's been in this community just as long as I have and he's worked there and knows more about these things than I do.  So I will follow his lead for this.

Besides, I've got 10 billion other problems to deal with

[MatthewPapa]

So, you think we should just leave it as it is right now? Sounds OK to me.

[jdjtcagle]

Sure, fine with me

[Starks]

I don't think anyone would have thought of sending a rep to :V: until I called yesterday.

[Bobboau]

well seeing as all three primary nomenies are in agreement that no further atempt should be made to contact V I think that's a fairly conclusive point.

[Liberator]

Icefire of Wildwolf.  Preferably Wildwolf if he actually worked there, he would have connections.

[Annorax]

I know my vote doesn't matter that much since I lurk and test a lot more than I post, but....

I vote for Wildwolf. Hopefully, he's got connections and can put them to work.

Oh yeah, anything > Derek Smart.

[Setekh]

Thanks for the nods, guys, but sadly it is impractical if we are going over the phone for me to fulfil this position. Most of you have cottoned onto that anyway, so it's okay. I would go for Ice, WW, or Inq myself.

And WildWolf, cheers for hanging around and being helpful. It's deeply appreciated.

[JR2000Z]

Soooooooooo....are we still planning something?

[Sandwich]

There may be new developments in this area, yeah. Should know within a day.

[Setekh]

Indeed. Nothing to be worried about, though.

[Gloriano]

Intresting...... hhhmmm

Well, if V reads our official statement something might happen.
