Getting Organized
Berendir @ 10:10 am EST

Well it looks to be a slow news day, and this looks interesting enough. Andos posted this on the MEdev board.

I can see on this board a lot of people doing some great work in doing what they can to help salvage MEO and other aims. Well done.

However I really think that at this point we should take stock of where we are, what we want to achieve and how we should try to achieve it.

We need to stay focussed as a group if we want to have any impact on the situation.

I propose the following courses of action.

1/ That we formulate a statement as Development Board regulars and potential customers. This statement should be formulated by someone like Spiritwolf, Elenduil or someone else who can put their words together clearly and concisely. This statement should be posted to the board and everyone who wishes to should post their affirmation. The names of all the people who supported it should then be added to the Statement and that Statement should be put in the board's Hall of Fame and News Archive so that when the new team come along, we have a firm footing. The Statement with a covering note should also be sent to all gaming magazines. A person should be nominated to do this and chase them up.

2/ We need to understand what it is we want to achieve. Getting the original Dev Team back won't happen as they don't want to work for Sierra even if asked to come back. They are gone. So we want to achieve precisely what? That the game include the various ideas that the Dev Team intended. Let's list those things out, in order of importance so we know what we are fighting for. Who can do that best? (Volunteers please!)

3/ Bearing in mind the above point, I think any efforts by individuals involving letter-writing campaigns or websites should be co-ordinated. Would anyone putting together a site, please respond here with their URLs so we can look at what is being done and co-ordinate. I think that we should ask Valen to put up a Links page under the Features Section, or a section itself called "Save MEO" which details our Statement and related links.

What do you think? Ideas please!
