    You have to mention the name of someone famous to get them to appear. Specificity is important!

    Oh, glorious Brian Reynolds, come to us in our hour of need. Namely: why the hell is it that in SMAC there's only two society models that effect your green rating for like 85% of the gameplay time, and they're in the same value area, so you can't do any competing tradeoffs between values?

    Jason, I don't think Brian answers Firaxis-related mail anymore. He gets really excited when showing off the Nuke in Rise of Nations though. Really excited.

    Given all the Usenet hoo-ha about Reynolds being Mr. Greenie, I found that interesting.

    Heh heh. I actually took one of those online "tests" that's supposed to tell you where you fall in the political spectrum, and I was all excited to find out where I stood and then it came back with (0, 0) or something spectacularly boring like that.

    At least nobody was saying I was "pro-Hivemind" or anything. I guess even being "pro-UN" is considered to be taking a stand these days.

    Cool weapons, cool consequences when you use them, that's my motto...I think.

    What's SMAC, anyway? Just kidding. I don't actually remember the reasoning behind the effect you describe, so I may just be a dork, :oops: but I already knew that anyway. I don't have any involvement in any future development for that game...I don't think my picture's even on the new boxes. :evil: So I guess I'll just have to promise to have nothing but the best and most mind-bending tactical tradeoffs in Rise of Nations!

    Great invocation-of-a-developer's-name, by the way. I'll now disappear in a puff of smoke... >Pouf!<

    Brian

    Sorry to hear about your pic being removed Brian, though I suppose I can see why if it's one of those small boxes. It still says "... a Brian Reynolds Design" though, doesn't it?

    Oh yeah, he's gone.
    Reynolds! Reynolds! Reynolds!

    What a hoot. I can't say I asked for any other reason than to pimp myself out for the Community Relations Manager job there. Pictures of me in a fedora with leopard print brim band available upon request (feather optional).

    Any time I need Brian Reynolds to appear for an interview, I simply chant: "Brian Reynolds, you're my hero!"
