I agree that the best thing to come out of this thread is knowing that HTS is no longer at WOFN.

Thanks for that.

Ok... Yankee started a thread for donations to get me to UVA. He accepted the donations and he sent me the money to buy me the ticket. I had absolutely nothing to do with it.... that's fine
i didn't lose any sleep over it

I don't see how Col has done anything wrong.

All i see is some shit being stirred in some petty attempt at revenge.


That seems to sum it up pretty well.

Lets throw this into the equation...

Why did marweas really get asked to step down?

Colosus can do whatever he wants with the money i've donated. He can use it to buy himself a realdoll for all i care.

which is exactly why you can't really do anything

i already said, intentions belong to those that do donate. not your fault.
having one personal paypal account is the key to your innocence.
Am I supposed to create a new paypal account for each and every "cause" that TW decides to follow? Because all of those examples were different ways people came up with to get others to donate for the one fund drive.

Oh how I tried. I figured Pixie was a reasonable alternative, but damn those free-thinking human beings. I think the anal fisting idea ruined any chance I had. :-(

just like you said, having one general account contains funds donated under different intentions. again, you are completely innocent.

No, it was the whole double penetration thing. You were obssessed with it.

Just use the leftover money to buy a prize for the winner of the "Tribal Geek of the Year" poll which should be set up as soon as possible so all those who are pissed off about the money that could have used to ease the pain in their pussy can be appeased :)

Wow. I have always thought that you were a great guy Cheater. I realize that your post is mostly focused at other people and probably a kneejerk reaction/joke, however... its not like the only people putting time and efforts into a HOBBY is TW and UVALAN Staff. I am sure I will be flamed for saying this, but if you are not doing things for the "community" because you want to do them, then do not do them. Head Admin/Owner of TW and leader of UVALAN all of a sudden are coming accross as if they have some deserving power over everyone else. IMO its ludicras. If you guys do not want to do the shit then simply do not fucking do it. I am sure someone else will be more than happy to fill in what gaps are left off. I am tired of seeing this shit thrown in peoples faces as if you have broken your back for nothing.

Right.

Mitsubishi has already shown that that is possible. UVALAN is fun and great and I'll sure as hell go as long as it's offered, but don't think the community and Sierra wouldn't jump ship to the first alternative presented should you threaten to close up shop.

There's a difference between being profitable and being a dick about it.

(Never cared that Colosus bought a laptop, he deserves it, he'll use it.)

Right. My mistake...


I guess this should be out in the public, since the community demands it. Colosus actually purchased 4 male whores with TW donations while we were in S.F. So, he actually DID get laid. Just not by me.

I'm about to cancel UVaLAN 6 for fear that we may be sued for maKing money. blah blah blah...

Last I heard, you can't get in UVALAN without PAYING. TW != UVALAN. If you volunteer time to the community, great, but don't expect anything out of it.

IMO, a laptop was overkill. There was no real need to make it a live event. It wasn't that great and they didn't even test the in game video feed to make sure it worked. So all I saw was a skewed view of a game at crappy resolution. It wasn't worth the cost of a laptop (IMO IMO IMO IMO). If a digital camcorder just recorded the show and uploaded the next day, that would have been perfect.

I totally accept the fact that he is free to do what he wants with the donations, but only if he discloses what he plans to do with it. Even though I think the laptop is a complete waste of money, if he had said something about it, then I wouldn't really care.

I didn't donate for colosus, I didn't donate for live events, I didn't donate for a laptop, I DID donate for a new server. Hell I didn't even agree with the way he planned on upgrading the system, but I donated anyway.

Plans change sometimes and thats understandable but if people donated believing that it was going to a server, it might just piss some people off....regardless of whether or not you agree. Had Col been running a donation drive for a charity, only to take the funds and buy a ticket to Australia to hand deliver the rest of the funds, it would piss people off. People make donations knowing where the money is going. People PAY for services to get the service and don't care what they do with the money. I wasn't paying to access TW, I was paying to upgrade TW...laptop wasn't an upgrade.

This is the difference between UVA and TW.

I would encourage Colosus to close up shop as well.

God forbid anyone should use the money we get from the Tribes community to better ourselves after countless hours of work we put in. I guess it's only fair that only Sierra/Vivendi make the money from the players who buy the game. Why should anyone profit from keeping the game alive and the community together.

So fuck everyone who wants to criticize Colosus. I refuse to be pulled into this bullshit. Let's just all forget UVaLAN 6. There's just way too much potential for me to profit from a year's worth of planning and the financial entanglements that make it work. It's the only reasonable thing to say.


I really honestly hope you dont mean that.
