Neutrino 03-02-2004, 04:33 PM Sorry I don't get it. Bounty admitted to some sort of dishonesty? I've seen all your responses and all I see is reasons not to give money to charities such as the American Red Cross because they might use the money for something other than what you intended to give for (even though you never gave in the first place). Nor would you give to any charitable organization that dishonestly pays an electic bill or pays thier employees a minimal wage or invests in other money making stratagies.
Sorry man but those are the facts of real life and if everyone embraced this attitude we'd be putting out 50% of everyone's income for taxes to support disaster relief, there would be no churchs, private schools, soup kitchens, or policemen's balls.
A contribution to TW shows that you want to be a member. It keeps Imposter looking for Bandwidth whenever we get kicked out of whatever present bandwidth we're on. It keeps the lights on and the guys who do all the work feeling like they're doing their job for a reason. It keeps Colosus working on a way to allow the sort of thing that goes on here. TW is Colosus at this point and Colosus is TW. I'll eat anyone's shit that can prove to me that there's anything above 10% of the content of Colosus' Laptop that is not TW related.
I strongly advise anyone unhappy with Colosus decisions to start their own Community in protest....the same way TW got it's start. We need as many diverse communities as we can get for Tribes players. I hate to see people leave with an attitude but it's better than having such unhappy people around here.
I mentioned Bounty because he said that he specifically words the marketing campain for the non-profit he works for in a way that makes contributers feel that they are giving to something that they are not.
Also, I did give to the Red Cross and many other organizations until 9/11 happened. What I said that I didn't donate to was the TW, and for that everyone has the right to tell me to stfu, but I'm bored so I am going to argue, neener.
I understand that only portions of your dollar end up for their intended purpose, to think otherwise is foolish, but when people are willfully dishonest and make you feel as if you are contributing to something that you really are not... I'm sorry, that's wrong (I'm not saying that is what happened with Col and TW, just a general statement in line with non-profits and directly shown by Bounty's post).
Colosus 03-02-2004, 04:33 PM i believe that people capable of setting up a website this elaborate and a shoutcasting network that supports 800 somethin listeners could have prob. found a much better method of asking permission to use other peoples money. i serioulsy doubt many if any people would be complaining if col had atleast made announcement about this before fraggle did!
Not my fault a disgruntled member of this community decided to begin drama. I did adress this in IRC when it was first mentioned. I did not think it warranted its own thread and had fraggle not posted this or had it been posted after I was already awake so that I could have responded BEFORE page 15, it would have never been an issue.
It is like a rock rolling down the hill, it gets harder to stop the further it goes.

good reasoning :) I do however think that you knew this type of issue deserved a thread, but that is beside the point now. imp said you made an apology and i think thats all that counts. i still appreciate what you do for this community along with people like cheater, imp, yogi, dwarf, etc...
NightTrain 03-02-2004, 04:37 PM I really want to contribute to collossus getting laid though, i will donate for that, but i want the money to REALLY go to him getting laid, NOTHING else.
From Pixie's posts in this thread, it just sounds like throwing good money after bad.
But Col should take comfort in knowing he is better off in the long run. After 14 years and two kids that's one thing I'm 100% sure of. Run while you can!
DruMAX 03-02-2004, 04:40 PM people who have given money to TW...pretty long list :)

Machine 03-02-2004, 04:40 PM He spend 1k of TW money on hardware that'll be used to cover events like that press conference and E3 and other crap that turns up. Ya most of the time it will be just his, but we needed some hardware to do a job, and its gotta live somewhere.
And who will pay to get colosus to E3? Tribalwar again? Must be pretty fucking nice!
Anguish 03-02-2004, 04:43 PM :\
I dont have any problems wif Colosus as a person but i've never liked him running the site :( I enjoyed Rayns/Ratorsnikis and even zero-X-'s command much the better :|
Cheater 03-02-2004, 04:43 PM I think we should start up the donation machinery again to get Colosus paid for the <$800 he has invested in that laptop. There's absolutely no reason that he should have to take that kind of $$$ out of his own pocket for our enjoyment.
Come on people show your support hit that donate button now. I want to see $800 by the end of the day pacific time!
vawlk 03-02-2004, 04:44 PM return the laptop! :p
Colosus 03-02-2004, 04:44 PM Machine']And who will pay to get colosus to E3? Tribalwar again? Must be pretty fucking nice!
No. As of right now I am not attending E3. Unless I get a job, I won't be. Yogi and WOFN will be going though and I'm sure they'll get everything covered.
E3 gets covered by every tech site alive. I don't think we need to TW's own reports.
Methinks Colosus is just using that as justification to buy himself a cool new machine to play UT2k4 on.
vawlk 03-02-2004, 04:46 PM since you can't go, will they be bringing the laptop? Who pays the shipping?
No. As of right now I am not attending E3. Unless I get a job, I won't be. Yogi and WOFN will be going though and I'm sure they'll get everything covered.
so if you're not going to any of these, why do you need a laptop again?
Colosus 03-02-2004, 04:47 PM E3 gets covered by every tech site alive. I don't think we need to TW's own reports.
Methinks Colosus is just using that as justification to buy himself a cool new machine to play UT2k4 on.
My PC is twice the machine the laptop is.
Colosus 03-02-2004, 04:48 PM If WOFN requires the laptop it will be shipped to them or MasterGnr can bring it down when he drives. It is for WOFN to use.
Kizzak 03-02-2004, 04:49 PM 50 pages by midnight
My PC is twice the machine the laptop is.
so why do you need this laptop again.
sorry if it's been answered already but i dont feel like reading 30 pages at TW's current speed to find out.
so if you're not going to any of these, why do you need a laptop again?
colosus not going doesn't mean the laptop isn't going. read the thread.
