Dumped...on my old board, by someone NEWER!!! OH THE SHAME!!!

Lol...

Wow...

http://soeternal.proboards12.com/

Star Ocean Eternity was a board I used to go on quite a lot back in the days, as I was a really big fan of the Star Ocean days back when Star Ocean: The Second Story was king of the PS jungle, and fanboys / girls were everywhere...it led me to RPG Maker, making my own site, and among many things...without it...I would never have discovered RPG Maker.

But in the last year or so I have distanced myself a lot from these people, as we are all heading our own separate ways. Some of them are in college, while one is HEAVY into anime conventions and stuff...me? I'm more the guy who loves watching sports and enjoys a good talk about hockey. But these things have bore people over there...I used to be the talk of that board...but now I'm the castaway.

Just recently...a new guy has appeared on the board from out of the blue, and I'm all and down for new people...but this guy...has become my newest rival! He's basically a fantastic artist with a degree into game design. Him and his company are working on a MMO Star Ocean fangame which of course...has rocked our board senseless! He provided some facts and pictures but he had no gameplay. Still...I supported him and thought it was cool.

Then I posted my Monopoly movie, only to have 4 lousy views and be BUMPED down from the front page by him, it seems like he didn't like competition.

Since then I have became the castaway, the old guard, the old man. I have been tossed away like a used lunch bag replaced by a guy who's a better artist then me, made a way better Star Ocean fangame then me, while my game has gameplay and stuff and is making some damn good progress...people don't believe me and think that will come out when hell freezes over. Wow...I'm the loner who talks to himself on that board.

*sigh* so maybe it's time to say **** to my old buddies and take my ship somewhere else. But alas...GW is the same like them, although improving over time...still there are some bad vibes there. RMN is the best place on earth! No disses, no challenges of you better finish that game in 13 days or be banned, nope! simple, quiet...just like the olden days.

I was going to have a second thread on that forum when Monopoly was finished, but now I doubt they will even care...or that guy will bump it down to get attention towards his project...wow.

dumped...dooped...gone...

Has anything like this ever happened to you guys?

I feel pretty bad and sick. He uses god damn VX for god sakes!? I never seen him here before. >:(

Anyways...rant over. Peace.

I HAVE MADE GW ANGRY AGAIN!!!

LMAO!!! ^^

Check It Out:

I shouldn't need to explain myself here. I've mentioned everything in the topic. You know exactly what you've done and have been doing for god knows how long. We've warned you time after time and you continually get worse.

Seriously, now. Stop, or you will be banned. You're one warn away, that's all. And I will happily ban you again. The forum was a much better place without you last time

---

basically everyone is angry with you and wants you gone. you are causing too many problems in G&D and even though i think people take this stuff too seriously a lot of members and mods are complaining now.

---

Please stop spamming. We've warned you so much already.

---

You really need to start reading your warn logs, read back the series of PMs that several moderators have been sending you and really consider stop spamming the forum with these ridiculous posts because I will ban you myself.

You are everything that is wrong with the G&D right now, and if you do not change, you will be off the forums. No threats, this is a promise.

And my personal favorite:

You are everything that is wrong with the G&D right now, and if you do not change, you will be off the forums. No threats, this is a promise.

Lmao...this was ALL over one thing I did in the screenshot topic that I forgot long long ago, apperntly I forgot that you could post music vidoes over there. Oh! I didn't post menus this time, all gameplay. Because of this...the very threat of Monopolo's existance has been called into question! OH GWDS!!!

Sorry to take this garbage over here, I just thought it was funny to share with you all! ^^

(Apperntly I have now 18 days left to finish da game otherwise I'll be banned ma! OH NOES!!! THAT MEANS WE SHOULD TAKE THE WHOLE TWO WEEKS OFF OF WORK AND GO NO PAY JUST TO PLEASE PEOPLE!)

I love this. Truly makes my day.

And don't worry...I won't be a pain over here. ;D

I did this partly for Neok's sake too. :)

It has been one month...Has S4D changed?

*sigh*

As the one month ban from GW continues for unlimited amount of time, it's time to review today's topic... Has S4D changed at all since last month?

1.) FINALLY MORE GAMEPLAY SHOTS!
* Perhaps the biggest change is more gameplay shots are being shown, which the angry menu shot mob has become quiet which is a good thing. HOWEVER! There are still numerous people who believe that this is BS, among most of those members lerk on GW.

2.) DOESN'T PLUG GAMES INTO OTHER TOPICS!
* Have I ever posted something from Monopoly, Arena, Cromwell or anything in other topics? (Besides this one) Nothing...

3.) DOESN'T POST AS MUCH
* Why bother going on the forums? Either get dissed or get to work and prove them wrong, this is why my post count has gone down by a LOT, only one post a day it seems now.

4.) POSTS ARE A PAGE FULL LONG TO READ
* Why bother.

5.) DOESN'T TALK ABOUT HIS LIFE
* Because nobody DOES care. If no one cares about each other's games...then...well you know

6.) NOT ANNOYING!
* Yeah

So...has S4D changed at all? Or is he still the ***hole you still remember? Perhaps a lot of you are surprised that I'm still here and WIP hasn't banned me too?

I'm going to probably need some good comments, because tomorrow I'm going to contact GW and ask them that is it time to comeback?

Okay I'm done. :)

Hasbro Sues Indie Developer For Remake On Scrabble (Am I next?)

Am I Next To Go? :o

Source: http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idCAN2430389020080724?rpc=44


NEW YORK, July 24 (Reuters) - Toy maker Hasbro Inc (HAS.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Thursday it filed a suit against the creators of the online game Scrabulous, saying it infringes on Hasbro's Scrabble intellectual property rights.

The suit, filed in the Southern District of New York, names Scrabulous creators the brothers Rajat Agarwalla and Jayant Agarwalla, and RJ Softwares as the defendants, Hasbro said.

RJ Softwares, an IT solutions provider, cites its hand in the launch of Scrabulous on its Web site.

Hasbro, the world's No. 2 toy company, also said it sent a notice to Facebook, the social networking site that hosts the Scrabulous game, requesting they remove the application in the United States and Canada as soon as possible.

Facebook could not be reached immediately for comment. An e-mail sent to Scrabulous was not answered immediately.

Hasbro owns the rights to Scrabble in North America, a spokesman confirmed, while rival Mattel Inc (MAT.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) owns the rights to the popular board game in the rest of world.

Hasbro had sent a note to Facebook earlier this year asking it to remove the Scrabulous application, and decided to file a suit against Scrabulous' creators after launching a legitimate Scrabble version on the social networking site earlier this month, a spokesman said.

"We view the Scrabulous application as clear and blatant infringement of our Scrabble intellectual property, and we are pursuing this legal action in accordance with the interests of our shareholders, and the integrity of the Scrabble brand," Hasbro's General Counsel Barry Nagler said in a statement.

Scrabulous was launched in July 2006, according to its Web site.



I came across this article when my mother told me about it and thought I should read it, knowing full well that I'm following in almost similar footsteps with my Monopoly game.

This has started another battle between the games, although I'm not fully sure what Scrabulous did to get sued but here is where probably the main thing lies...they mention nothing about Hasbro pitching the orginal idea in the first place.

So does this mean I'm next? Although there are many reasons to say this is true and I could be held accountable for my actions...and even face major fines. There are others to suggest that it won't happen.

WHY NOT:
* 1.) In the opening movie I have the logos of both companies Hasbro & Parker Bros mentioned as collbrators. Pitching to people that these were the original creators, also on the threads and RM network in my summary pages, I mention these two again.

* 2.) No where is Mr. Monopoly found, although the name is being used...a different character is the mascot for this game. As this is why I wanted to go with a anime like approach.

* 3.) The music isn't theirs, so is the sound effects, some of the graphics is not their's.

* 4.) Unlike Scrabulous this game won't reach the record amount of people that they received. It is unknown how well it will actually do...ranging from maybe only a few hundred downloads

* 5.) Although the properties and character names remain...the board is completely different...no sign of the cop image, jail guy...tokens like the hat are different and replaced withh sprites.

* 6.) I'm not making any money off this game

Now that I have presented my case, say that in the end...that doesn't matter, Hasbro gives me 7 days to take it down or something...I have only this to say:

It's not fair that people can make Barkley games with an actual character in real life who didn't even mention the game...or people that make remakes on Final Fantasy, Breath Of Fire and yeah even my old Star Ocean: Shadows Of Zelnack, why didn't Tri-Ace go for my throat back then?

Although I'm not taking this as something to be feared and we need to shut this game down, because that's just BS. I will continue to make this game and finish it. (hopefully on time) Hasbro will probably treat it as a fan game...and nothing more.

So what's your take on this?

S4D Has Come To RM Network! ^^

Well since I'm officially kicked out of GW, I had to find myself a new dwelling to soke my feet in until the heat dies down. I remembered that back long ago when I had to make a choice between either joining Gaming World or RM Network I choose Gaming World, but since I'm gone...RM Network was my second choice! ;D

So here I am! ^^

For those who do not NOT know me, my real name is Brent Scott Murray I live in Canada and have been around RPG Maker 2003 ever since around 2003, I'm currently making two projects at the moment, and have made a couple over the years...sadly I have hit a lot of bad luck over those years and have never been able to finish something. But I feel very good now, my hobbies include playing sports, watching sports...BREATHING SPORTS!!! (That's all I ever watch nowadays) my favourite games are pretty much anything, including whatever comes from my own stable. Music...I don't care! I love it all! (Except for rap) :)

Oh did I mention I'm 22 and am currently single! :D

Okay intros over! Enough of this crap, feels like 2004 all over again.

So yays!

Now for everyone on GW. (You know who you are) Lemme explain.

I was kicked out of the forums for mainly the whole Indie Cup thing, GZ said it was a bad idea...but I didn't know that would be the sole reason for me getting kicked out in the first place, although it had 50-50 success, still a lot of people were probably at the end of their rope, and decided to just pull the plug on the S4D love, so that's about it. The reason they gave me was basically explaining about the Indie Cup rules...which made no sense, so yeah.

So what will change this time? I'm first...hoping that this post doesn't lead to immediate ban, because I don't think people on an another forum can ban something for what the guy did on another forum. Second...the font will now be the default one this board uses. (No more weird font, except this one! ^^)

Third, I'm keeping screenies to a minimum, until I have something big, I will show it.

Fourth...the ME blog is history...gone! It's really holding me back working on these things.


Other then that...Yay for RM Network! Let's have fun together. And if GW decides to bring me back, I'll still post here.

Now...let's see what kind of response I get. :P
