Ok, I guess the three lucky fellows (KKNDMaster, Nahoo, BennyBarrageCraft) managed to make their missions using WinME. Wish we could all do the same anyway...
Will the petition really change their minds to do a KKND3? Ok, if all it will do is annoy them, and if they're really sick of all the nagging, the original programmers at the very least, they should:
1) Release an updated KME that really works, or at least a patch for the existing one. We could even pledge to pay them for it.
-or-
2) Make an SDK or a MOD creator like the way they do for Quake or Half-life so we can make our own spin-offs based on the KKND2 engine.
-or-
3) Release the source code so some kind-hearted group of programmers here could make a KKND3. I'm certainly up to it.
-finally-
4) Perhaps they could give us the rights to use the names, units, armies, etc and we could develop our own sequel? There are a lot of free RTS engines out there and all you have to do is get artwork, music, etc to make yourself a game. All we gotta do is get permission (if needed?) to borrow the names of the units, buildings, etc... To preserve the game. We can use the storyline from the 'literature' section of this site as a guideline.
Well for now, wish there was a way to make a mission sigh. You guys are really lucky to have made them.
