Guest FireFly Posted November 1, 1999 Share Posted November 1, 1999 When I was going to submit the petition, I came across some bad news on the LucasArts website... This is an excerpt from their 'Communicate' section (see bold parts): "Q: What exactly is an "Unsolicited Submission?" A: An unsolicited submission is defined as the unrequested tendering of materials or ideas to LucasArts for consideration. Q: What are some examples of unsolicited submissions? A: Drawings and models of ships,vehicles, buildings, environments or characters for inclusion in a Star Wars game. A script for a sequel to a LucasArts game. A computer game you programmed. Q: Is it possible to sign a waiver? A: No. Unfortunately there are no "correct channels" through which you may submit an idea to LucasArts. For legal reasons we cannot solicit game ideas from outside the company and therefore do not accept unsolicited material which is sent to us. Q: What will happen if I forward my ideas and material? A: We request that you do not forward any materials to LucasArts. Any submissions will be returned to you unread and unviewed. We hope you understand our need to consistently apply this policy. Thank you." So I guess this means the petition is good as dead. Oh well, all that work for nothing... *sigh* Sorry if any of you were expecting any results out of this whole thing...

Guest FireFly Posted November 1, 1999 Share Posted November 1, 1999 Yeah, I know it sucks... foo. Anyway I'm gonna see if Factor 5 will listen, and if they like the idea they might take it to Lucas Arts. Its worth a shot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shootist Posted November 2, 1999 Share Posted November 2, 1999 WHOA, FOLKS. LET'S DON'T GIVE UP THAT EASY. I read that too and I got the distinct impression that the LucasArts blurb on "unsolicited" input refers to free lancers and wannabes for their own personal profit. I really don't think their marketing people are in that close touch with the development folks. They are two different entities (departments). I'm too stubborn to give up that easily!! Besides, I'm pretty sure that LucasGames who sponsors this site monitors the petition's progress from time to time. Big Brother is probably watching now. Give up on RS? NO! ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Imladil Posted November 2, 1999 Share Posted November 2, 1999 Well, if anyone can tell me how to get to the Skywalker Ranch, I can print this petition out and take it to them! My sword and I will make them see reason.

Guest Shootist Posted November 3, 1999 Share Posted November 3, 1999 Hey Firefly. In this case the word "consideration" translates to "for profit." We aren't asking for any monitary consideration in any way are we? Let's don't give up. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rebel_jediknight Posted November 3, 1999 Share Posted November 3, 1999 Well said, Shootist! I agree. Let's keep a little optimism here! Who knows, if they see the amount of names we have here they might consider it! Besides, it's not as if we are doing this for "our own personal profit"- we just want to have fun! Am I correct? ------------------ "The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FireFly Posted November 4, 1999 Share Posted November 4, 1999 No! You have misunderstood me, I'm not giving up! I submitted the petition to Factor 5 2 days ago, and I'm still waiting for a response. The problem with Lucas Arts, is we cant convince them to notice us. The corporate scum who reads the mail will probably just delete it and forget about it like their FAQ said they would. The only way we can get Lucas Arts to listen is if we find a way to notify the actual developers directly. Does anyone here know any people who worked on RS? Speak up!

Guest Shootist Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 FireFly, I wasn't accusing you of giving up. Please keep up the good work! My concern was for all the other RS'ers who may get disheartened. I sincerely hope your letter will work the magic we need. I wonder if anybody has given up...not me, and thank the FORCE, not YOU!!!

Guest FireFly Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 Sorry, the comment wasnt directed at you Shootist. Perhaps I should have rephrased it. Anyway, I still havent gotten a reply from Factor 5, but I think we should give it a few more days. Again if anyone knows someone at Lucas Arts, speak up. it could really help with getting someone to notice the petition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Imladil Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 Get some bright young computer terrorist to do a bootleg version of new levels. THAT will get their attention.

Guest FireFly Posted November 22, 1999 Share Posted November 22, 1999 Nope, still havent gotten a reply. But I did manage to get a list of all the current (well, a few weeks out of date) signatures so far posted on <a href="http://www.free-parking.com/petition">http://www.free-parking.com/petition</a> and I subitted it to several search engines. Hopefully Factor5 simply hasnt reviewed our email yet (as opposed to ignoring it).
