The Universe is Toast petition?

Post by Lava89 »

Has there ever been a petition done to get id to let Tom Hall have the rights to Keen?

I know petitions don't always do any good, I just feel I have to do something and it never hurts to try.

I think not, but can't be sure, I tend to forget everything by one year intervals. No idea how such would work, though.

There are two petitions:

http://www.petitiononline.com/LostKeen/

This wants to make Keen6 and the commercial version of Keendreams available for the public

http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/ck/

I actually found this on the links page of keeniverse, so KeenRush sure signed it. This is about completing the keen series.

But there is no petition trying to convince Id to give Tom Hall the keen rights.

Hmm, because the TUIT one doesn't mention Tom, I'm reluctant to sign it.

What I said, I forget all this kind of stuff. :old But now when you reminded, yeah, back in the day someone made that and I used to link to it on my Keen site's main page, if I'm not mistaken. But as Spleen said, naturally the rights should be given to Tom, and not just anybody should make TUIT. Perhaps I signed back then without thinking much.

Sure, go ahead, I don't think it's gonna change anything (The other petition has been up years), but I'm willing to sign it.

73 signatures should be more than enough for iD to give the rights to Tom for free.
Aaaah, not the bees!

Given that Djaser easily wins the PCKF Sarcasm Award, I'm pretty sure it's sarcasm.

Maybe ID would accept hostages in return for the rights.

If we could only get megakeen back......................... :p
Forget it.
