The Bisquit Tin Coalition - the campaign for Civ III LE

[Rasbelin]

It's now BTC Day!

Be active! Discuss! Send e-mail!

Surf to the BTC's website for the latest
news and BTC Day information.

BTW, I have already sent 2 inquiries today.

[Rasbelin]

My latest e-mail to Infogrames (actually fourth today):

Hi!

I'm writing to you on the behalf of the Biscuit Tin Coalition,
that wants a worldwide release of Civ III LE.
We don't see the current treatment of non US customers
as fair, because many devoted Civilization series fans
has now been left without their long waited Civ III LE.
And without any good reason! There's currently no BXA
restrictions on releasing a PC game in Europe or inside
the EU zone. Is this just idiotic fumbling of Infogrames?
As a Nasdaq listed company, you should know that every
single dollar that can be earned in these tough times
is important, but apparently you're company is so stupid
that it doesn't see its own best. How can your investors be
pleased with you? Huh!

I demand that Infogrames would release the Civ III LE worldwide,
and not just in the US. Perhaps not under the name Civ III
Limited Edition, but as Civ III Collector's Edition, but that's
also good enough for the BTC and all the other "civers"
that are keen on getting an opportunity to buy the special
edition. I hope that you could at least think on my suggestion and
for God's sake finally respond to our inquiries. I warn you
that we will not stop the flood of e-mail until the LE is
available to all of us, or at least a worldwide LE release
date has been announced.

Your reply is expected and demanded!
Only cowards don't dare to face their customers!

Regards,
Rasmus Anderssén, Finland,
campaign manager of the BTC

Has anyone else done anything today?
Am I the only active BTC activist or supporter?

BTW, I received 30 mins ago a message from Amazon.com.
Total bulls_hit! They alomst assumed in the message
that the returning of my SWIFT cheque would be "compensation"!
Looks like you'll have to ask for compensation, if you
want to have your own money back. But that doesn't still
solve the real compensation dilemma.

The latest LE and BTC news can be found

changes have also been made. The most
important is the correction of wrongly spelled
Bisquit Tin Coalition and Biscuit Tin Coalition.

I'm in the campaign. Granted, it's cheaper to me to go to the nearest shop and just buy the unlimited edition, and I'd probably never have ordered LE from abroad anyway, but it's the principle.

Say, what happened to those BTC banners? I link to one, and the next day I just have a red X where the banner used to be.

store in Finland (chepest prices: 232 FIM and 255 FIM).

I know. That's exactly why I won't order anything from internet any more. Second reason: I would probably have got it even before if I bought it at a shop. So why would I use internet for shopping? One time too much...

The biscuit tin Civ3 LE is being sold outside the US. I just bought it in Hong Kong. Paid US$40. Luckily I cancelled my order through Chips and Bits. Buying it from them would have cost me about US$65.

So if you live outside the US, don't dispair. The biscuit tin edition could be coming to your local store.

Thanks for your support!

Remeber the BTC Day 2 tomorrow. A day of action and rally.
Check out BTC News at BTC's website.

There's a notification on the Promote BTC page and
at BTC News on that. I had to remove them temporarily,
because they include an URL that doesn't excist anymore.

I suppose I'll try to make new ones JIT for BTC Day 2.
I appologise this inconvinience.
