Why not?

As long as it's not Sid's bald head we get stuck with but with good looking girls

And we should be able to CONTROL the angle of the webcam so we can direct and focus on the monitors

Please no.

I can just see it,

My roommate: "dude, you done with your work yet?"

Me: "Uhhh... yeah."

MR: "Then what are you doing? Its four in the morning?"

Me: "Checking what is going on at Firaxis."

MR: "Your sick."


Please don't do it. Please.

Admit it, you guys just want an excuse to keep the hapless programmers working round the clock to get Civ3 out.

Heck yeah, if we see a programmer slacking off or playing solitare on company time, a hot email to Dan would fix it quick! I've changed my mind, I'm all for the firaxis webcam. Make those programmers work faster!

What exactly would we be watching on there?

Programmers typing away for 4 hours straight?

Sid eating donuts in the break room?

Unless there are hot women at Firaxis, I say, "nah!"

Not a good idea because... Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

The problem is how much a hard time the Firaxis people would get from Civ zealots who can't wait to get hold of Civ3 and would post a complaint if one of them was seen picking his nose. After all, every second wasted is a second delay in getting Civ3 out the door. Besides, you know how nervous you can get and how much harder it is to concentrate if someone is looking over your shoulder all the time.

They are in Hunt Valley. (I don't know the exact location of that.) But it is not NY or DC.

Hunt Valley, Maryland, I believe it is just outside of Balitmore.

Yes it is. Baltimore is feeling some of the effects of the attacks, but it shouldn't affect Firaxis.
