I'd picket outside the building with a sign, "GIVE US CIV".
Then, I'd try a whole bunch of clever tricks to sneak myself in. They would find me in a closet with a laptop playing Civ3.

West of Ireland.
I know some great bogs and as you know things live under there. Dead things maybe but they're sure as hell there.
Why do you think Ireland has such a low homicide rate? No bodies... they're all dumped in the bog.
Hunt Valley eh? sounds kinda kazikstanish...
But then I was never one for names.
Dont ask me what I'm on I'm just tired OK

Compared to some of the people here, I guess I'm kind of close (currently in upstate NY), but if I _did_ live there, I would be begging them to be a tester. Failing that, I'd get a Sid mask (sold at your nearest Break Into Firaxis HQ Store location) and waltz right in. I'd steal a copy and play it, and might be *ahem* persuaded to post it to Apolyton.
Nah, I'd just gloat until the police came

This very minute I'm modifying my life-size Catapult civ unit to use GPS to adjust it so accurately that I will land nicely on top of the Firaxis HQ. They will never know what hit them, bwahahahaha

I'm about a 1.5 hour drive away (just outside Philly), but I don't have any means of transportation.  Otherwise I'd have already set up camp right outside of their office.

Location of Hunt Valley
Go Poly, Go . . .
Hunt Valley is easy to find from Libery Heights . . . It is on the other side of Falls Road.
Take Falls road to 83 and drive north to Hunt Valley.
