I sign!

We really need those fixes and more. I can even make a picture of the bay thing to prove it! (It shouldn't take too long)

I miss when Maxis was just Maxis, they made many quality prodoucts (one is SC3K) and I miss their thingies.

I would also like the surface water feature from SC3k back... Could that be a part of the petition??? 17.gif

LET'S HOPE THAT EA LISTENS AND ALLOWS OUR OLD MAXIS TO WORK ON OUR BELOVED SC4/SC4RH!

and there another thingy I'd like some attention to...
 
Maxis... can you code the .exe so it recognises both #statement# and $statement$ as LUA plugin code in LTEXT's? This would be extremely helpfull as there are a dozen mods I cant' complete because of the LUA code being limited to '#' ... mostly because #city#, #mayor#, etc. also use that symbol...

You might want to change to a request for at least one more pack that fixes the three problems you listed along with fixing the pathfinding.....hmmm....even better just redo the whole traffic simulator.   The ability to have surface water.  Heck they should even throw in some of the highest rated lots from the STEX, they could add so many new RCI growables....

Hmm, of all the things that I've seen petitions made for, this has got to be one of the worst. That's not to say that the 'cause' isn't worthy, simply that I doubt a petition is the best way to go about it.

Even more disappointing is the wording of the petition. Half the people signing don't even know what they are signing for. Not only this but the petition sounds like a sermon, and pray that, We beseech you eludes us. I'm not sure about you, but for me, using these words don't make the petition any more pleasing to read, nor clear.

The superficial reference to things in the petition further adds to its lack of clarity. The Animated Props/Effects section hardly makes sense, and some petitioners have already admitted they don't understand it. I think in order for a petition to work, it must be clear and suscinct so that all parties involved can understand it, especially those signing - otherwise your petition looks weak.

Just my 5-cents.

    Hehe.. this is as much a test of the community to see if it can pull together on a common cause... which you obviously did not pass. Nor did those that voted 'Not Interested' whose apparent apathy extends to not even caring how their apathy can affect all those who do care. Instesad of trying to find something to knock down, you might consider showing support for something that could benefit those who have a passion for this game and are members here because of that.

    A 'petition' is not a vote or a poll. Its a collection of signatures of those who agree on a common cause. Its not a soap box for dissenters. Your role here would have been to either show support by signing/clicking... or just ignore it. Trying to tear it down only serves to hamper the efforts of those who care and are willing to make an effort to improve the game for all to enjoy.

    Here goes. I sign.   It can't hurt, even if I there are things that bug me much more about the game. But as Peg wrote this thread ain't a wish list.

    Out of all those, in the past month, about 400 would have visited the forums. About 30,000 don't visit anymore, 10,000 haven't posted since this thread was made, and of the ~4000 that do visit at any time, only about 400 will have visited this thread. 327 looks a little better when you think of it like that.

    Vidioman, thanks for information! One of my top advisers has been fired... They need to see all the context, not only some separate numbers 7.gif
