Letter from J. Hammond

Post by xelono »

Hello there!

Can someone of you write this letter again? so that I can copy the text and translate, since in this form of manuscript it is a bit difficult for me to recognize certain words.

Oh, this is from the old Lot World site, right? I was just visiting it a couple of days ago.
Maybe later I'll go through the letter and retype it. Kind of busy at this time...

This is what I can make out of it, might be one or two mistakes:

"Dear Ian,

You were right - and I was wrong. There! Did you ever think you'd hear me say such a thing? Spectacularly wrong. Instead of observing those animals, I tried to control them. I squandered an opportunity and we still know next to nothing about their lives. Not their lives as man would have them, behind electric fences, but their behavior in the wild, the impossible dreams of any paleontologist.

Thank god for site B. I've organized an expedition..."

@tatu thank you very much!

@machf that's right, it's actually from the old forgotten TLW website. (Eres de Perú? entonces hablas español)

Ni me había fijado que decía "Chile" en tu perfil... :lol: ayer andaba con la cabeza en otras cosas porque estamos tratando de hallar la forma de convertir mapas de versiones antiguas del juego para que sean compatibles con la versión final.

Just out of curiosity, what are you going to be using this for?

I'm thinking about putting it in my GTA Trespasser mod, like an easter egg.

Ah. Do keep us apprised of your progress! I appreciated seeing some JPDS material in there such as the Aviary entrance.
