I want ICR2

Newsgroup mocks request to swap pirated ICR2 for Civilization 2

A poster openly offered to trade a copy of Civilization 2 for a pirated copy of ICR2. He was condemned and mocked, including a sarcastic suggestion that he ask Rick Genter for the trade. Rick Genter replied with laughter, and some posters missed the sarcasm.

Do anyone willing to let me copy their original ICR2 game? I am willing to exchange with the new best-seller CIVILIZATION 2 game for you. Want we can do is to transfer the huge files in a public directory and then ftp from there. I just bought Civilization 2 and do not have enough cash for ICR2. If you are interested, please email me so that we can arrange how to transfer the huge files. Richard, desperate for ICR2 after playing the demo version.

Hey dumb ass, as far as I'm concered that is known as PIRATING SOFTWARE, and is known in the United States and Many other countries to be Illeagal. Unless you're talking about puting the box and it's manuals through your modem what your talking about is illegal. God how dumb can some people get. And then publicize it too. -- Robert Knauber SRA Series Director http://www.erols.com/dknauber/sra/top.html

Go to alt.binaries.warez You want to stay here without police hunting you down and talk racing? Stay in rec.autos.simulators That's what us racers do. -- Kenneth http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/1517/ Rightful owner of Nascar, ICR2, and NFS
Congratulations!! By posting this message, openly admitting piracy on a public newsgroup which is monitored by the manufacturer of the product you are trying to steal, you win this week's STAR PRIZE!!! Your prize is to be strapped to the front wing of Damon Hill's Williams- Renault as he tries to take the lead from Michael Schumacher. Can you say "squish!"? Seriously Richard, that's pretty dumb. Without getting into huge piracy debates, if software producers make ***titles, there's a "try before you buy" excuse for piracy, but you've TRIED Indycar 2, you've said you love it - BUY THE DAMN THING!!!! Where else will Papyrus get the money to give you NASCAR2, Indycar 3 (?) and other great titles. We want Richard down at the software shop, cash in hand tomorrow! We want him on the hotlap charts - c'mon Rich, you can do it ;) Cheers!

We had to buy it, why not you. BTW, we have NASCAR and ICR2 so what the hell do we need Civilization 2 for? You know there are a lot of people at Papyrus/Sierra that depend on the sale of their products to make house payments and send their children to college. Do the right thing and BUY it. -- Michael Kirton Columbia, SC

I wasn't intending to continue this thread but just wanted to add that the above para. from John was very well said. If nobody or very few actually purchase a product/software then how is a company to survive and produce beyond... Please do consider this. Your $s do matter for supporting further developement and products. Yes, Richard. You know you like it and want it now so go purchase it! - Legally

You guys make me sick. As a software engineer, I spend long hours writing code only to be confronted by criminals such as yourselves conspiring not only to steal ICR2/Civilization2, but also, on a larger scale, to help bury the software industry. Hey, I understand the desire to "try before you buy", but hey, the first poster mentioned that demo convinced him and that he was "desparate for ICR2". Just buy the program, I picked it up for $39 last November from Best Buy. What's the problem?! If you calculated how much my cost per lap has been, it would be less that $0.01. What I can't believe is that you have the gall to say, "arrange it here in the newsgroup". Morons! This is supposed to be a forum for discussion about simulators, not a warez group, d00D! Thanks so much guys, it's people like you who are helping to ensure that a program such as IndyCar Racing III will never see the light of day. Clark Archer IVGA #3920

Clark, A suggestion: 1. Save that followup post by Larry 2. Hang around the newsgroup for awhile 3. Read Larry's post again P.S. Richard Yip, hope your CIVILIZATION 2 skills are honed. Rumor has it that Rick has been spending a lot of time on his. Good luck with the exchange.

Well, I may have missed the sarcasm here, but this was the second post talking about pirating some of my favorite software I read last night, and I'd just had it, that's all. Clark Archer IVGA #3920
> Do anyone willing to let me copy their original ICR2 game? > I am willing to exchange with the new best-seller CIVILIZATION 2 game > for you. >> Drop him some email. But keep us posted on how it goes. >> Larry A good fit for you is to look at the BInary Group Access Summary System (www.bigass.com). The tracking history here definately support the rumor that Rick has been crusin the net a LOT lookin for a free copy of CIVILIZATION 2. I doubt he's found a copy since he's pretty new at this computer stuff. P.S. Will CIVILIZATION 2 run on Rick's new 286?

>What I can't believe is that you have the gall to say, "arrange it here in >the newsgroup". Morons! This is supposed to be a forum for discussion >about simulators, not a warez group, d00D! I think if you analyze the post from Larry a little more carefully, you might find that it was made with tongue firmly planted in cheek. That doesn't excuse the original poster, but I think you're taking the wrong guy to task here. Personally, I found Larry's reply quite amusing. Dave "davids" Sparks Sequoia Motorsports

Why dont each of you deliver your respective copies of your bought games to your local FBI office along with a short memo of your planned exchange and let them deal with the logistics of copying huge files for you. Think of the on-line time/hassle you wil save not to mention your receiving a free meal or two. CT Hawaii handle: Cole

Uh, I think it is very clear the guy replying (Larry?) is just toying with the guy- I mean, telling him he ought to ask Rick Genter if he'd trade civilization... that was a great touch. What did Rick's reply mean? I'm not up with the codes.... but I can imagine what it meant. Hey I paid for ICR2 back in november, and I'm glad to support Papyrus. ... And I can't wait until we finally get the finished product- due by saturday, right Rick?
