But then again, some of them will be either deceitful, arbitrary, selfish or even weak willed. Some may even be flamboyant schemers, with a trail between accounts impossible to follow. Or willing to do anything as they're suffering from depression from a lack of CK2!I don't think that people who have signed the petition on this forum have also signed up at FB. CK-fans aren't like that, they are mostly honest people

Ah, finally someone who understands that I was joking
A CK2 would allow me to free up a lot of hard drive space, because I could just remove all the other games from my PC.

It's sometimes difficult, because you never seem the joking type.

He has a very dry sense of humour. Going by that example anyway.
Leave him alone. At least someone understands his jokes. (btw I did aswell cuz i read his previous posts on the issue).
My jokes usually just outright offends most people because they don't even consider them to be possible jokes at all.

We need more posts about this facebook page on other games forums. Especially HOI3, EU3 and V2.
In case I missed something we might as well bump those threads.

This. I say we burn down the world if we don't get Ck2!

Your home town will do for now. If they don't get the warning, then we'll take another one.
Looks like the trickle of "likes" are slowing down. I will be a sad panda if we can't make it to 25,000.
I've already exhausted my circle of friends so its up to you,the unwashed masses, to continue the fight!

Yep. I made a facebook account just for this, but we haven't reached the 5000 mark yet. I guess word of mouth isn't enough.
We're averaging about 7 'likes' an hour at the moment. Not terrible, but slow going.
Personally, I think that Paradox has been a bit slack on this score. Where is the advertising? Why haven't we heard of this in the "major" games sites? Almost like it's being left to just simply Facebook to pass things on. But Facebook marketing needs some help, it doesn't just exist because you make a group (and I don't count the "get a million people to join and I'll name my baby ......" groups).
If Paradox is going to leave it to us (or Facebook), then we may have to make some effort to spread the news. Spread it to other gaming forums on the 'net, major gaming sites (I've only seen it on smaller strategy gaming sites) and the like. Maybe even on sites like the WoW forums (to give an example of forums that will give a LOT of exposure). Perhaps market it as a chance to show that social networking sites can be used to show developers what we want in terms of games.
This is a great opportunity, but I am getting the impression that the marketing for this has been dumped (intentionally or otherwise) squarely in our hands.

I guess you are misinterpreting this whole thing. It is not marketing. To market something, you would need a product or at least a plan first. Features to advertise. There are currently non. We are petitioning to have a plan.
Anyway. Paradox usually works on two things at the same time: a full title (currently Victoria 2) and an expansion (I'm not up-to-date on that, but there was a poll on what they should do next time). As Victoria will be released in 1-2 months, even if they spend another half a year to work on patches (which I hope won't be necessary but knowing them I doubt it), they will have to start something new. Now, which franchise would be the most logical to choose?
Hearts of Iron? I don't think so. Currently, HoI3 needs quite some love before the title becomes seriously marketable.
Victoria? For expansions, yes. For a new full title, of course not.
Europa Universalis? The current version of EU3 is practically the limit of where you can go with that game in an official release (mods have their very own requirements differing from vanilla games). Making an EU4 on the same engine just doesn't seem necessary to me.
New title? That would be the second best option, but what could that be? Future? I guess not. Paradox is not that kind of company. (They make historical fantasy games
) A present-day game? Very unlikely. Again, not 'historical' enough. The time before EU - Rome? I have a hard time imagining a good Paradox game before history. Maybe one based on the Greeks or the Mezopotamian cultures, but that would be more like an idea for an expansion for EU - Rome. The only logical timeframe that would warrant a new title (IMHO) would be the time between EU - Rome and Crusader Kings.So, I believe we will most likely get our Crusader Kings 2, and even if we don't, we will get something quite close to it
(In about 1.5-2 years, but that is to be expected from a game that's not even started yet )
...

Let's just hope this "something quite close to it" will have the enhanced dynasty system ck fans want.
I more meant marketing the whole "get 25,000 fans and we will announce the game." Though perhaps "advertising" would be a better term to describe it.
