    BTC Day on Friday (GMT)

    The BTC Day is getting closer...

    The activity day will be on Friday (GMT).
    The more detailed schedule and program guide
    will be published on Thursday (GMT).

    BTC Day volunteers are needed!
    I would need some help with the planning
    of the events and also with preparation.
    So just let me know by PM, e-mail or
    reply to this thread.

    But until further I can tell you that the
    BTC Day is an activity day with some goals
    that should be achieved.

      My order was cancelled today - eventhough it had already shipped?????????????

      This was the main part of the mail:

      Unfortunately, pending clarification of federal regulations now in
      place regarding the shipment of computer software products outside
      the U.S., we have temporarily discontinued shipping software titles
      overseas.

      I can't live with this!!!




      Please give me my LE

        And even though civ3 LE is not a basic human right I fully support it, as I would've definitely bought the BT myself.
        I also agree that Infogrames' good name and reputation will (and I hope )be damaged, due to this incomprehensible limitation. Infogrames treats the world outside USA as second-class citizens, first by releasing it weeks later, then by banning LE.

        To reach all of those who agree with you but don't have the motivation to write a full letter to Infogrames themselves: wouldn't it be an option to make some kind of a 'standard letter' which one could just cut&paste?


        Good luck on the campaign for LE-justice!

            Well you know what would happen if bin laden or saddam got a hold of Civ3. They'd take over the world.

              They did the same to me, even if I had pre-ordered it and
              paid it with a SWIFT cheque. When I asked for compensation
              for time and banking charges, they just ignored my e-mail.
              But wait for BTC Day. Then they will get something else to think
              on...

              Down with Amazon.com! We want the Civ III LE!

                At least I suppose I have been quite devoted to
                this campaign.
                And even though civ3 LE is not a basic human right
                Heh! True, but the point was more like that others than
                only US customers should be allowed to have their LEs.
                I fully support it, as I would've definitely bought the BT myself.
                I also agree that Infogrames' good name and reputation will (and I hope )be damaged, due to this incomprehensible limitation. Infogrames treats the world outside USA as second-class citizens, first by releasing it weeks later, then by banning LE.
                Good to see others that also share the common BTC opinion.

                Oh my goodness! That was a brilliant idea.
                I'll write one later today for the BTC website.
                Thanks for the proposal!
                Good luck on the campaign for LE-justice!
                Thanks! That will be needed.

                  Actually Tingkai has understood the problem.
                  But I'll reveal the whole story on the BTC's website
                  later today, because I don't have enough time now.

                      You're a funny little man, Rasbelin.

                      I have no use for the biscuit box (or a tin of anjovis), but I'll support your cause for just this one time.

                      So long, and thanks for all the fish...

                          Pardon, but is this a compliment?

                            If you dont like it TS

                            You will have to order it from our people


                            Oh yes! There are way more fanatic civers in America. Not 7-10 years kids who just buy it cause the cover looks cool (Oh yes just for that derogatory comment I hope it never ships over seas to whatever 3rd world nation you live in)

                            usa ! USA!! USA !!!
                            Actually i ordered it from "your people" in 31 October. It's called the Deviance Unlimited Edition and it seems at least for me it was a free hard civers edition.

                            Now i will just wait calmly and buy the L.E. IF it comes to my country. You see i am not gonna spend a week average salary of my country just because of delivery and tax at custumer service. That if it would anyway be sold threw mail to my country.

                            IF it doesn't come i will have to get a way to send at least half the price of the regular edition to Firaxis.

                            About that stuff talking of 3rd world country : If i live in a 3rd world country than you live in a 4rd world country. You have middle age stuff like death penalty, spend at least two times more % of national defense in army althought GNP per capita is at least 3 times more, we are poor but give free unlimited healph care to everyone and so on. And you see my country is not any state of art in politics and society.

                            But anyway you must be a kid to come saying what you said.

                            FOOT NOTE- Don't wanna offende anyone but this pissed me off. I like american people, i have many american friends,i have already been to america, i have friends that work in america before i was born. Althought i don't like many things in america or of america as a whole. And also some that i love: FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY... but that´s not everything.

                              I would cancel my Amazon order, but I didn't order LE and I was informed that they had already sent Civ III for me. If I would return it, I had to pay for shipping costs.

                              First and last time that I order from Amazon.com, although they didn't hurt ME at all...

                              Actually it hasn't got much to do with your problems, just because it COSTS MORE!!!

                                Jusbaummer, if you have already been sent the
                                game, then my simple advice is that just keep the game.
                                Don't return.

                                BTW, it's now cheaper to fetch Civ III at a local
                                store in Finland (chepest prices: 232 FIM and 255 FIM).
