I'm your man (again) * cough*

I think I am on one line again with you and I'll be happy to work something out with you. Send me a p.m. when you need me.

@ Nopileo:
I'm happy to do something in return for our modders.

@ Shadow9216:
By now I am convinced that there is enough positive respons to proceed with making a draft.

@ Wulfmann:
I'm happy that you broke your self-imposted exile. There is nothing against a dissenting opinion.
But this time we agree totally. As far as I am concerned there will be no "accusations of things modders created; that X-1 was going to steal."
My idea when I restarte this thread was to make Matrix aware on behalf of some or many subsim.commers that there might be a problem with Seawolves / X 1 and to present them the facts as we know them.
I don't think that we should tell Matrix how to react, that's their responsability.
Personally I also think that if Matrix would not answer us or give us a negative answer and would support the Seawolves / X 1 project, the community should not react anymore. In my view this should be a "one ping only" action, just to make sure that Matrix hears us..
It would then be everybodies personal responsability to decide to be mad, protest, send mails, boycott the product or let the thing just go...

@ Beery:
Of course this letter should be sent directly at Matrix. And since it really has no other goal then to make Matrix officially aware of our concerns, it might be wise not to post it at their forum. Leaves them more options open for their reaction.
But I think Shadow9216 and I should work the details of the draft out and then present our action to Neal and the community, probably on a special thread simultaniously on several forums.
Then there should be a second round of discussions, not like this one about sending a notification or not, but about the specific content of our draft.
That part is gonna be fun for Shadow and me...


@ John Channing and all:
1. I hope you see that we intend to proceed very carefully and will restrain from anything that might be seen as accusations.
2. We'll consult Neal & the whole community all the way on this and/or a new forum, because we need broad support from you all. Your initial reactions on our community.
3. I fully agree with JCC that if we make any reference to the Subsim.com site we'll need Neal's approval.

Anything else and I would be out of this project.

In the meantime I suggest that you, John, make this thread a sticky, because it's easier for the community to react and we'll need your feedback...
