Ok...its been a long time since we (as in this community) have asked HDI if they would be willing to release the source code for EFS. Its about time that we get together and try again. Who's volunteering to type up the request? :p

I tell you this in the hope that it will help you understand why I act as I do in full knowledge that great forces accumulate in my Empire but with one wish--the wish to destroy me.

Re: New petition
You need a lawyer and a responsible party to "own" the product and commit to abide by the terms of any licensing agreement.
Long Live EFS!

Shocker:
Not always, several companies have release there code without this before.
Besides, it doesn't hurt to try!

Re: New petition
Did anyone ever contact Mike Ely about the "interesting things?"You might contact Mike Ely if you are interested in doing some work on it yourself. He has some interesting things in mind.

Re: New petition
Mike is one of the most active players of this game.
Can you share what you had in mind Mike?
Was it what Deathifier did for us or something else?

Re: New petition
OHHH, now this sounds like an interesting prospect of possibilities.
As far as I can see they arn't working on any new games this time. Unless NA is going to pop up again. I also don't see any evidance of an EFS 2 on the horizen.
Maybe, who ever writes to HDI can drop a line about us promo-ing EFS 2, if they decide to look at going that route.

Re: New petition
I wonder who we would need to email the request too? Anyone have a good email address?

Re: New petition
Fromthe mess around Nobelarmada i know that HDI is reading and forwarding the mails incoming via the adresses on theire website. And i believe Andrew Greenberg registered here in the summer, so possible they are discussing already about this issue and waiting only for our request .

Re: New petition
Yes they do read and sometimes respond to mail sent to them via the website and I'm not sure if their contract has expired yet that would allow them to release source.
Mike was certainly working on interesting stuff and I believe still is.

Re: New petition
If a mail will have a chance for any success, then IMO at least a few things needs to be clearified:
1. a single person has no chance
2. a dedicated group is needed, and a (or more) dedicated persons speaking for this group.
3. a target must be clear: what you will achieve by getting the answre yes.
So who has the time and the power and knows how to handle things like that, go on.

Re: New petition
Agreed! The group would have to be the EFS vets (mod'ers) and there are several here. In addtion, we will need several programmers.
Not sure who has the time, but I would be happy to assist in anyway I can.
Once we get a group together..we can decide who will send the email/letter. I just have a feeling that now would be a good time to ask.

Re: New petition
wesnoth was discussed as a base for source for EFS2.
Take it as a base for building up a DEV team.
Another example i know is merchant empires, http://www.merchantempires.com/ where for a long (very long) time a (one at the start) developing team is around and spending a lot of effort to make the game great.
I am having a lower member number, being the admin here (and it is my site), so i was the one setting up this forum .
a lot of the 1st time members are in RL today fully envolved in family, job and other things, with other words normal "ppl". So a good source can be the active members today (minus me) and any volunteers anybody from us can get for this project.
