Let us know if you get a response from him (Lowtax). He has to deal with dozens, if not hundreds of, jackasses every day, so it's probably a crap shoot as to whether or not you'll get a reply. Though, since you're not a moron, maybe your odds will be better.
In related news, I bought a SA hat for use in softball this season. (They are the black ones with the grenade logo on front, rather nice for a hat bought off the internet.) I wish I could afford to get 10 of them for the entire team, but they were like $23.50 a pop when I bought mine. That's insanely high for a baseball hat, but I look at it as part donation, part merchandise, so no biggie.
(While writing this, I just got a call from my brother, who is the best player on said softball team and the manager. I am batting seventh in the first game. I guess that's an improvement as I was hitting dead LAST in the lineup last yer. He said he'd move me up if I got two hits. I said, "it'd be easier to get two hits if I were moved up and had more opportunity for at-bats" but it was apparently not the most convincing argument in the world. Ah, well. Here's hoping for two hits.)
At any rate, Lex, if you don't get a reply back, do write your game but with your own made-up characters. It's an enormous amount of work to make a text adventure and you may feel an extra amount of pride when it's all done with and released when the game contains 100% of your own content. (Though I hear you regarding the fact that if you announce an official JeffK game you will get an enormous amount of downloads through association.)
