Why are there 45 guests on the board?

GoldenEagle · 04-13-2004, 12:25 PM

I guess they are here for a Kodos poll.

Refugees from the .400 boards, heard there was a good fireworks show over here.

Maple Leafs · 04-13-2004, 12:27 PM

Wow, 45 guests. Good thing we got rid of the offensive-to-strangers QOTM.

Alan T · 04-13-2004, 12:31 PM

Is it too late for me to post a "When is OOTP6 being released?" thread?

Franklinnoble · 04-13-2004, 12:34 PM

The attorneys have begun logging in. Imagine all the billable hours....

Maple Leafs · 04-13-2004, 12:37 PM

Currently 83 members, 38 guests.

My guess is it's all the wives showing up.

Oh, to answer the original question, I'll bet that this is a big reason why.

Don't you guys think that is a serious deal if what he says is true?

hoosierdude · 04-13-2004, 12:57 PM

I didn't know lawyers could read. I thought they hired someone to do it for them.

Franklinnoble · 04-13-2004, 12:58 PM

I don't think druez has written proof... so this will all be much ado about nothing.

I agree wholeheartedly that this is very a serious deal. Period. If what he says is true, it is a very serious deal. If what he said is false, it is very serious as well.

GoldenEagle · 04-13-2004, 01:01 PM

Who read the druez thread first? I did.

What do you base that statement on? You have no clue whether I do or do not? When I get home, I'm going to go through my logs. I gained nothing by doing this except clearing my concious and loosing my job as a reviewer.

Hey, no offense... but I thought I read earlier that you said most of what you were alleging was based on phone conversations.

I'm not calling you a liar, I'm just saying that in a court of law, and in the court of public opinion, people tend to favor harder evidence than personal testimony.

GoldenEagle · 04-13-2004, 01:12 PM

I do not think anyone has a realistic case for any judicial matters unless .400 sues for slander. I also do not think .400 has anything to lose, as probably a small majority of their fanbase would actually care about ethics.

Im not calling him a liar yet, but Im more likely to believe Joe as opposed to Jason K. Then again, I do believe that this boards (by its nature) leans more towards FOF then any of the 400 games- and that there is a certain defensiveness towards FOF (like an official game board)..

Alan T · 04-13-2004, 01:15 PM

So I think I missed alot while I was out of town for a month or two... Who is and is not affiliated with .400 anymore? I saw a few people in those threads that I thought were working together taking shots at each other..

wig · 04-13-2004, 01:16 PM

I just want more conflict.

He would last about 5 posts before you put him on the wigban list.

I wouldn't wish he or his minions on my worst enemy.

GoldenEagle · 04-13-2004, 01:21 PM

I am impartial right now. I could see .400 doing something like this. The company has a history of releasing software early, which could be unethical right there. It is a competitive market and Joe might not stop at anything to get ahead. I think druez's wife is the secret here. Why was she hired? Was she hired to keep druez quiet? What is her exact position at .400?

So many questions and no answers. I am reserving judgment until the facts arise.

I am not ready to jump on the .400 bandwagon quite yet. In a way, it makes sense. Why would druez just attack the company his wife works for? I think this matter is beyond being swept under the rug and answers will have to forthcome.

This is taken from the locked thread. I have chats and emails but no voice recorded conversations, because who would record a voice convesation?

Why did he go nutty, create false accounts, and troll (poorly) the board for several weeks, get banned, and then whine about it on the 400 boards? The guy loves creating conflict.

The "?" at the end of "I have chats and emails?" gave me the impression that you weren't sure you had anything like that.

I'm not an attorney or anything, but if I were you, I'd shut up for a while and seek sound legal counsel.

What FN said druez. I'm also not a lawyer, but you should really think about this before saying anything further on the matter.

There is a difference between being a troll and being stupid. I hope, HOPE, druez knows the difference.

On the contrary it is very similar.

Ahh the ? at the end was in respond to the question of documentation. He asked if I had any. So I said I have chats and emails? Like is that good enough for you?

wig · 04-13-2004, 02:00 PM

What about Arlie? Tell us what you think about him, druez.

I will give you credit. You have creative questioning. I think everyone has forgotten about the rest of the .400 staff. I have seen Gary Garowski lurking all day.
