The fact that you don't know any other game company with online chess on their page may not be directly related to the quality of all game companies in the world...Ghost_loy said:Interplay is one of the only companies i know that have online chess on there page. So i suppose that means all other companies are shitty and Interplay's the only good company out there!

Roshambo said:Corith, put a lien against everything of his you can think of, including the car.The amount owed is over $10k in just your case, so therefore it nicely falls outside of small claims laws for considerations in filing liens (in most states, I have heard in Cali and others it may be $5k, so it doesn't matter - Herve is hosed), so have fun. Invite multiple people into it, and see how quickly you can freeze the slimy frog's assets, which may be possible if it is judged to be severe enough. With the risk of a liquidate and run CEO, and if this is brought to the judge's attention, it spells SCREWED.
ohhh I have an idea... could you please put one of those "liens" thingies on the fallout 2 source code and any relveant tools. Not sure how much it's worth but I'm sure more than a few of us in the modding community could put together a bounty of some sort. Of course after I convert from New Zealand dollars (aka monopoly money) into US$ I dont know how much it would be
But to be serious if you could seise the Fallout2 source code we could set up a paypal thing for it, I'd pay mopney to be able to get around all those hard coded bits!
*EDIT*
okay I just finished reading the other pages now.. Wow what a long story, though I do feel bad for anyone going through a relationship breakdown, combined that other legal issues with interplay etc it must be a very stressful time for Herve. Maybe I'm soft in my old age (argh late 20's!) but I do feel for the guy, that being said my boss pays me my salary on time, if I was owed those sorts of money I'd be pretty pissed too!
Of well if anyone can get the source code I'd be very grateful, maybe Herve could sell it for a few hundred dollars, hell I'd buy it for that much and I dont even know how to program, so I'd have to find me a programmer to code those new perks for me
It's an all round crappy situation, I dont see a happy end in site for anyone. Corrith is rightly somewaht pevved and insulted that after making atempts to comprise and being rejected that only after this time is he asked to compromise, must be frustrating as heck...
Anyway, I'm going to craw back under my rock now

Quite incoherent, i'd say. Seems like usual ''everybody suck, except me'' rutine by Rosh, although i didn't quite catch the whole plot of the conflict.MurkyShadow said:Stephen Amber said:Gnidrologist said:Seriusly? I wonder why.Jabberwocky said:

And what's this ''don't talk about F3 design before u played it'' prohibition accusation towards NMA, that seems to be one of his points? I thought there were lots of talk about how Bethesda will probably screw up the franchise on here.
The accusation has to do with our refusal to post rumours on the frontpage, unless we recieved them firsthand. It's not our policy to post rumours from people like Vault Dweller no matter how much I personally believe him. I'm not sure why he's complaining that we didn't, seeing as he was an admin and could've newsposted them whenever he wanted.
I'd just leave it be if I was you guys. As for the "whole plot" of the conflict, I'm still trying to figure that one out myself, but it's not really relevant. We didn't force him to do anything and asked him to advice if he so strongly disagreed with us (he never did). He de-adminned and banned himself, which is a shame, but it's his call, and that's really all that needs to be said.

This is one of the most original ''internet things'' i've heard of for a long time.

And even then we work for some sort of confirmation first, and check other sources, that's how it worked in the Van Buren days and that's how it should continue to work, even if it seems strange for a fansite we do have editorial standards and try to deliver the best info for our viewers.
I do believe VDweller is right on the things he says, but we shouldn't post things based on hunches, we should try to uncover the facts before starting a row.
For the rest I don't believe Rosh has the story straight, but I love him anyway, no matter how exasperating he is. This time both parties should move on and focus on the new challenges that face us in the future, and this internet drama is just getting in the way, so let's move on to a future without Rosh at NMA while giving him a warm salute.
And now let's start hunting for the big headlines

Briosa, you seem to have been left off in Rosh's cleaning of his closet.
I had no idea so much was going on behind the curtains, alas, I always enjoyed Rosh's rants.

Well he has his style and always bring out a good reason and fact when saying something. (Games, not the god-knows-what relationship thing)

I second that. NMA isn't the same without him.SimpleMinded said:

Bah, saying Rosh is a troll is like saying 4Too is a directionless drug addict. Rosh would only get mad if you made a very stupid comment and tried to state it as fact.
as said once before, for there to be an average, there has to be 50% of stupid(er than average) peopleLemur said:
while Rosh flamed like a troll, he wasn't one, because underneath his flaming lay actual knowledge. (if you could see past the flaming he often made quite good points. sadly he never took the time to actually explain those things to noobies.)
either way, he'll be missed for both entertainment value and fount of knowledge.
Lemur, if you just registered here to troll, you may as well leave.
So cut it out or contribute something meaningful.

Lemur:
In my opinion, it is too late to spit on Roshambo's muzzle, or pat his haunches, here. Perhaps one could initiate a ''coom ba ya'' thread in the General Forum.
Actually, it appears to be a rather shallow motivation to register in a fan forum, when one can articulate a buzz word such as ""prolix"".
One that can toss out invectives of the quality of ""prolix troll''' could have the street smartz to evade the raging bull that is / was Roshambo.
Unless one is concealing a missionary or mercenary agenda on the behalf of corporate entertainment investments, the urge to satisfy 'polite' free speech imperatives could easily be achieved, with in the grasp, of one that could toss off endearments, veiled jargon, such as "'prolix troll''.
Please to consider, the liberation of the intellect from all ''hate-speak''.
If one does not wish to associate with ""the end justifies the means"" ontology as exemplified by the Quixotic Roshambo, perhaps one could refrain from the rough and ready flow of all forums. If the elements of style that hard rail one's world view are of the modern minimalist fashion, the weaving of raw emotion and frontier justice could be too "dirty'' to contemplate and emote.
One of such sensitivity could be too 'polite', 'politically-lite', for NMA, DAC, or the Codex.
If one has subtle anger issues linked to the free opinions of the consumers of computer entertainment, then one should perhaps find shelter in less outraged communities.
Perhaps those warm and fuzzy group thinks, consensual communes, that profit from early releases, manipulated stock indexes, hijacked genres, and the co-opted journalism that shills the unfinished, empty boxes .
This thread was rooted in a con man's evasion of paying his employees, and is as clear an example of the computer game industry's moral standards as any other. If one disagrees or agrees with that drama, then registering to this forum, and declaring such registration, here in this thread, seems logical, a philosophical imperative.
If one registered to piss ''in the general direction of'' Roshamdo when Roshambo can't piss back, then that's the *water mark* where one's reputation is established.
Jabberwocky and Sander, as mod's, have directed that we should all just let this go and move on.
So, perhaps reaching out and clasping the appropriate appendages in a great ''coom ba ya'' circle could occur ... else where ....
There are plenty of other posts and forums one can leave their shallow water mark on.
If some or none of this applies, then one's too polite opinion, and the minimalist invective, ""prolix"", is dually noted, and one can irresolutely move on.
