As valiant an idea as this is, I cannot help but feel that it is predestined to fail. You're looking for support in the wrong place, and you know it. Tribes will fade inevitably fade out, and life will progress as it always has.Marweas said:It's business, so the only influence that matters is money. If you follow the money through the industry long enough you understand where the weak points and the pressure points are. VUG won't listen to anyone here. But there are ways to make them listen to EVERYONE here.

elementary my dear krytoss. we all go out and buy as many bargain copies of t:v as possible to taunt them at their failed endeavor. then the audience will be there and we'll have a legitimate voice, but they would have lost a majority of their profits.Krytoss said:i'd like to hear just how we as a community can cost VUG hundreds of thousands of dollars. i'm all for shooting a hole in VUG's neck and fucking the bloody wound, but without actual clear "this is how to do it", i'm a little wary.

TheRoDent said:Marweas, you truly are a dumbfuck. According to you - whichever way it goes - VUG wins. Hah! Was this your "great plan" that you needed a weekend to think over? Even if you could possibly barter a deal to get Tribes(r) rights secured for use by the community, why the fuck should we trust you at _all_ ?
Whichever way you spin it supposedly, we lose. Wrong. If the master servers for T1/T2/T:V get pulled tomorrow I will make it my personal mission along with 10 other talented people to hack the WON, and GaySpy API's to pieces, thus making sure that people that BOUGHT these games are allowed to play it as they intended to. ONLINE.
The TW community have their hands on the engine. The projects are popping up. Tribes and it's Universe will live on regardless of what you or VUG do. The only rights VUG has is the name "Tribes(r)" and that's about fucking it. The community has owned the storyline, the characters and the lore behind Tribes more than VUG's shitty talent could ever dream of.
Goodbye VUGames, Thrax-fuck-up-a-game-Panda, Mar-fucking-suck-a-mommas-nipple-one-last-time-weasel, and the rest of you fucking wankers. I am making it my personal mission to violate the Tribes copyright in as many creative ways as I can possibly find.
Marweas, you can come back here and attempt to be the new 'independant' that saves the Tribes franchise, but most will always refer to you as that little fuck that ruined Tribes along with another bunch of little corporate twerps.
Tribes is bigger than you or VUGames.
It belonged to the community since 1995. The engine has belonged to GarageGames since 2003. Your announcement here simply reaffirms that fact.
STFU. And STFD.
