Fox don't care about bribes of monitary value... at least not at the scale you'll probably generate. Expecting to get money from making a mod is rather fool-hardy too.
Making an AvP mod is generally not a great idea but that's nothing compared to trying to make a mod at all with the attitude you're displaying =/
<b>edit:</b> on a fun note I'm sure ID would quite happily inform you of the laws of using an unlicensed engine to create a game for monetary purposes. I'm not sure if you're aware of it but you're not really allowed to make mods for the purposes of capital gain =3

actually, not all our dev team our registered.. some live on the other side of the globe. we have like a 7 man dev team. and we DID ask permission... still waiting...
People on the other side of the globe that play NS are registerd here and so am I so I fail to see why that would be a problem,but 10/10 times you ask permision you either get no reply (as I seveierly doubt that you even know who to email) or you get a no.

I am not gona attack your mod (as every one else is doing it ny way)
I am just gona tell you that the term FOXed exists for a reason.
NO unlicenced game bassed off of their products will EVER survive past infancy.
If you think they wont find out, you got another thing coming.
Just change the idea slightly. You can have a mod bassed off of a species that hunts other intellegent species as prey. So long as you stay away from things that would be viewed as copywright infringment (images, names, sounds, and even ideas)

And look, if you read doomeh's comments (and to some extent mine) you are not screwed. You just nee to do some tweaking and step away from being a pred mod, and become something that was inpired by, but with your own ideas.
If you honestrly have those members, then you shouldn't be that hard off.
Just Step away from the Pred idea and you are safe.
maybe... tweak the looks a bit, change a few names, add a few new species, change the marine corps. from colonial marines to somthing else... it might work.

tadah!
note, when you say "tweak the looks a bit" you are gona have to make them look rather different (not just blue preds with extra spikes)
after all, you do have 3 concept artists <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Seriously though, you have big plans. Way too big. You're talking about a full Predator conversion for Doom 3, the money you're possibly going to make with it, how Fox will get 20% of the money etc. If you'd use your mind, you'd figure out it'll never work. Also, hereby I will assure you this "mod" will die.
Because first of all, you're not the right person to lead such a team. Just look at you now, you're making no sense. Secondly, if you're planning on hiring people for your team like this, please give up now. It won't work. Once again, you're not the right person to do this. Thirdly, I really doubt Fox is going to allow you to start, because, you see, people BUY the right. People don't just get permission to start working on something they have a copyright on. And even IF they would give people permission like that, they'd be smart enough not to give YOU permission.
forget what i said about any money. Maybe i could buy the right. That wuold cost a lot though.... secondly, im not trying to hire people thirdly, im not the head of the mod fourthly, i dont have copyright privledges. yet.

And fifth, this *is* advertising. It is totally unrelated to NS in any way, shape, or form. There is no dedicated discussion going through the thread to tie it together, beyond criticism of the concept and link posted in the first page. I'm actually confused as to regard it as spam or advertising now. In either case...

Name 1 mod that HAS been given permision.
we have 2 mappers,
one animator
3 concept artists
1 modeler
1 story-writer
and i think we have a skinner...
I guess they could all pitch in and.. you know... do some concept-work for the coding.
Just an important note here but I don't see 'coder/programmer' which makes the rest somewhat impotent unless you just forgot to mention them.
Silly me.
