There's an option missing for how much we'd be prepared to pay. If we can
get 1000 names willing to cough up $1000 each I reckon we might persuade
Sierra to let Papy start work ;o)

Yup.. I bet most of us are willing to pay some more for GPL2 than for
a 'normal' game.. Anyway, 499 entries so far, not bad considering the
petition was opened yesterday evening :)

Well, how do you guys say it: Puting your money where your mout is.
It's easyer to say $1000 than to actually pay $1000. Even if you mean it. :)

If I'm to cough up a thousand, I want a cut in the proceeds if the game
actually makes any money.

Exactly :o) My point is that if GPL's longevity here and on VROC, the fact
that it still sells from the bargain ba***t shelves, and the fact that
the guys at Papy would still love to make GPL2 doesn't persuade Sierra,
then I doubt a petition of even 20,000 will make any difference.
Mind you, 20,000 letters written simultaneously to Sierra HQ would be more
useful because letters take more effort to write and therefore carry more
weight in all customer relations departments.

Anyway, enough negativity for one day :o) I've added my name even though I
think it's chances of success are slightly smaller than my chances of
getting my GPLRank below -50 :o)

This makes me think.

If there were to be a GPL2, and a GPL2 rank: Would Greger Huttu be at the
top at that rank too? Is it possible to design a proper sim (with non-oval
tracks) that will not be dominated by Greger Huttu? ;-)

Papy has the know how. They know how to make proper sims. But has Sierra got
the balls to let Papy do anything else but another boring Nascar sim?
