And I thought I was the only one who thought of that!!! Darn, now you ruined how special I was gonna be!

Hey, I thought of that too. . .

But there may not ever be an SE5! MM might make a different game first, or something.

How about a free postage rebate instead?

Tim, Atrocities has a good point, if I send you the money to have gold addition put and shipped in
a jewel case, would you do so? I'll be glad to pay the extra cost or even send you a blank one. The US mail is not the greatest for using care with the mail.

just some ideas mac

I'm going to reach a ways back in this thread and answer a point that someone made (too lazy to find the right person now, and don't want to make this personal anyway):

Regarding how unfair it is that we law-abiding citizens who actually buy the real game end up paying extra to cover the cost of pirated/stolen/etc. Versions: EVERY SINGLE THING you buy has this hidden cost added in. Every store (both brick & mortar and Internet) adds a certain amount to the cost of each item to cover the losses due to theft. Shoplifting from brick & mortar stores leads to that store raising prices to cover the losses, just as pirating leads to software companies raising prices to cover losses. Some places are just more honest about this practice than others.

Just an observation.

BTW - regarding the rebate offer: since I live in the US, it's not a terrible hardship to send a copy of my CD back, so I'm not terribly bothered by the idea. Especially since I don't have to send it back until I get the new CD, which will replace the old one (I don't do PBEM or PBW, so the "original" Version wouldn't do much for me). But I can see how it would be a hassle for non-US players, and I sympathize. I wish I had an answer that would help the situation.

I am waiting to order my SEIV Gold when the mouse pads come out. My old mouse pad is plain blue and getting beat up pretty good.

To Malfador Machinations:

I am also dedicating my $15 rebate to Malfador in the hopes it will continue to allow them to produce such a high quality product with such great support.

To anyone who thinks they are getting ripped off:

Name me a game that you get such great support and playability for the price and I will request my $15 rebate and mail it to you.

You can pre-order the mouse pads right now, in fact you save $2.50 (I think) if you order now. If anyone wants a mousepad that already pre-ordered SEIV Gold, send me an e-mail @tbrooks@shrapnelgames.com with Mouse Pad Order in the subject line and I will galdly add it to your existing order and charge the credit card for the SEIV Gold order - then they will ship together with no additional S&H charges.

Uhh, guys it would be a nightmare to do this and really unnecessary. The size of this manual will be aroung 150 pages (maybe more) and will weigh in at approximately .65 lbs. This is very similar to RuneSword II for those that ordered that game. If it is damaged in shipping, then a jewel case would also get damaged in shipping.

150 pages. Wow this brings me back to the pre 1994 computer games when you always received a manual with 100 pages or more. And if their was not enough info to fill the manual then they with plug it with pictures.

I love manuals. I have kept all the good ones. Aces games, janes games, Empire etc...

That is the one thing I miss about most of the games published today. Bad or poor manuals. ( I understand about the costs etc... ) but it is like buying a pack of cards with no gum.

Ahh rant of the day done. Lets see what is #2 on the list of things to do today is...........

Thanks for the manual. Is their any cool tech poster to hang up on my basement wall. I have a space reserved for it between the Star Control 2 star map and the Wing commander 4 star map.
