    My Biscuit Tin is stuck in Cologne, Germany, since these UPS whankers do not work in weekends............

    There go costly planned days of playing.

      Rasbelin, Down Under is with you.

      Infogrames has not only made a bad commercial decision, but risks an international public relations disaster. Infogrames: It's not too late to correct this oversight

      LE for Aussies & Everybody NOW!
      ...as the free people of the world cried out for LE, Infogrames replied 'Let them eat cake'.

        If you receive in the near future, just let us know.
        I really can't give any good explanation to that.

          Good decission, Darkknight!

          Your choice as ACS signature is a good one.
          I suggest that even the "settlers" would
          start to use signatures (check out the Control Panel, Edit Profile).
          Especially pro-BTC sigs would be good.

            the BTE on 14th October and I have sent them
            a SWIFT cheque as payment. They have confirmed
            that they have received my payment, so Amazon.com
            has my cash, but my game hasn't moved at all.
            It hasn't been shipped at all!
            And they are changing the arrival dates every
            day, so I'm just wondering what their intesion is.
            Are they going to keep my 72.97$ and leave my
            only the SWIFT cheque order contract?

              I do think its unfair, see my post in the general section.

Firaxis never answered, Infogrames sent back a silly mail asking me to check the schedule for the release of new games for November...as one can guess no Civ is present for the near future. This morning, I posted on the general forum of Infogrames UK a shout for a fast release.
                Good work, shinoui!

                If you have those messages saved, cold you please
                send them to me so that I could add them to the Library?

                I haven't received any replies at at all. Not even confirmation
                messages.

                The message you received from IG France is actually
                amusing. Refering to the release schedule, even if the
                they no that it wouldn't answer your question/question.
                What can I do ?
                Have a look at the new BTC website. You can find some
                hints there.

                Have you pre-ordered/ordered a copy of BTE/LE?
                If yes, from what webshop?
                I planned to buy it in Finland where I shall travel next May....but it's a long time to wait for...
                Is that true?

                If yes, the standard Civ III will be released here 16.11,
                but one local retailer (Triosoft) has already mentioned
                it in an PC magazine ad. The price was 290 FIM (48,77 €).

                    Hmm, I have received a notice from Amazon that my LE has been shipped on November 1st, and should arrive between November 8th-15th; I'm in Finland too, so perhaps also you will be receiving it, Rasbelin?
                    I have also chosen the expedited shipment,
                    and my original arrival dates were the same as yours.
                    But the dates are now 12.-19.11, and they have been
                    changed every day. So it doesn't look promising.
                    I ordered and pre-paid the LE a month ago, way before the ban, so perhaps that is the reason?
                    I have pre-ordered on 14th October and they have
                    received my SWIFT cheque on 72.97$. But they
                    haven't done anything for it. So it's likely that the
                    ban is a reality, and not pure imagination.

                      Especially by not replying to our e-mails,
                      or then by hiding the real answer.

                        But your case doesn't solve the whole case, sorry.
                        So it means that the campaign must go on.
                        LarryLard, please don't abandon us, even if
                        you would receive your LE. We really need
                        all the help we can get.

                                I'm in, Rasbelin. *adds signature* I took the one with not so much emotion, but rationality.
                                Though I think I'll personally stick with the standard edition. BTW, in verkkokauppa.com it's 236 FIM (around 40 €) plus a 19 FIM (over 3 €) postal charge if sent to your home town's postal office. To my standards, that's cheap.
                                Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!
