I don't know how many of you have looked at the petition lately but here is some good news!


Quote, "[APRIL 7TH] The leadership of the team has finally accepted handing the mod over to us! We have now entered in negotiations regarding the transfer of power. I've sent a request to PetitionOnline to temporarily remove the petition, so if it disappears you will know why. I will keep you all posted one way or another."
 
To everyone who has signed the petition, and/or joined the steam community group. Discussed the situation or even felt the least bit of support for Jeremy's team. Thank you!

INS soap opera

. One of the original developers (Jeremy) is finishing college and has time to dedicate to the development of insurgency now. He makes a post on the insmod.org forums asking for community ideas and it starts a wave of excitement among the player base. When, suddenly, without warning, Endless (a member of the current development team) removes the thread. At this point community members create a group "INS NO CONFIDENCE" and send out pms as well as visiting clan's websites to promote the group. A large number of people joined the cause and started asking questions on the website. Around the same time, Jeremy created an online petition for people to sign asking for the current development team to hand over the project to Jeremy and his newly formed development team. His team also started working with an old ins beta 1 code that he still had the rights to. They were porting this to Orange Box and planning to make an INS spin-off if the petition failed. Jeremy also did public relations with the clans making a series of notable appearances on our ventrilo to speak with us.

Endless began removing threads asking questions about anything that he saw as a threat to the current development team. Not to mention the banning of people posting those threads and commenting on them. He felt (/feels) that for the work of many to be handed over to the work of a few is unfavorable. However, the community disagrees. Dr. Spielmann (the ex-development lead) stepped down about a week ago and left the project in the hands of Endless.

A member of the development team (who's name escapes me) sent a cease and desist order to Jeremy asking him to remove his petition, and to discontinue his slanderous claims.

And rest is....how do we say?

Cake!
 
Sounds like Jeremy is going to get his wishes.
I think it is awsome to see him fight so hard for this.
Anything else that I/we can do to lend support?
