FYI when I reach 40 signatures I'll be submitting the petition to Andy. We are at 39 right now.
Hi!
By the way, I wanted to mention that it takes a lot of guts to do what your trying to do and post it on the SG forums. I respect initiative and action to back up words. Kudos to you sir!

Thanks. I did it for two reasons:
1. We need to move forward if Epic is going to survive as a game. This is my selfish motivation - I want people to play against!
2. I like Greg Lane. This may seem counterintuitive but as the discussions here and on SG went on, some not so nice things started to bubble up to the surface. The petition was coming no matter what. I wanted to be in control of it so nothing personal was said about Greg, so I initiated it.
Besides, what are they going to do? Tell me not to post? Call me a bad person? Disagree? I don't consider it gutsy simply because there is little at risk here (besides my friendship with Greg that is). However, it seems that not a lot of people agree with the petition otherwise there would easily be a hundred signatures. That's okay too. The real purpose behind it is to stir Andy to action in any form and I doubt even this will work with such a low turn out.
But either way we win. If Andy does nothing then the community sees that he isn't interested and we move forward with NetEA. If Andy does something then the ERC gets revamped and people get the revised rules as we were initially promised.
Thats cool. I have been harping on this being done ages ago, so I'm glad you got that ball rolling.
Lots of people may not join you, even when they may sympathize with your point. My recommendation is to surround yourself with a good core of dedicated people who will out in the work to make netepic A a reality.
All it takes is the desire to start it and the will to see it through.
