Hope you can sort this out. Whatever you planned, it will be awesome.

[Dutchygamer]

I don't hope this is some kind of test of our patience
Anyways, I hope it gets fixed asap

[D.K.]

Oh, lads, at least tell us who is trying to put a broomstick in your asses... Come on, legal issues? Bloody hell, what for? Using name? Date? Content? Hell, then those wankers whoever put you in trouble should screw half of the worldwide modding communities...

Dear God...

4. As I have said there are several people outside of this community that have an involvement, we think this is where this issue has come from.

I know some contents of GZ but I don't know about this nor could think up what outside involvement it would be. I ll leave myself at that statement from within my ignorance. No reason to gossip and Wizard's request to keep it down should also be adhered.

And Drugkoala, it wouldn't be very wise to reveal the party that has undertaken it, because that might lead to the community, or certain parts of it, trying to get involved.

I really would like to know who is suing you, and what the suit is for. If I dont, I am sorry to be frank but I dont believe you otherwise. The community deserves to know.

Wizard you forgot about that GZ trailer .

Just as long as you didn't violate any intellectual property, then there is no justification for legal action of any sort. Even with the name 'Ground Zero', noone could have done this just over that, as codenames are not covered by intellectual property rights, only the marketing. 'Ground Zero' would count as a codename, and the cryptic text is not covered by it either, just as long as it wasn't lifted from an existing piece of text. Also, if this project would be non-profit, then there are even less legal standpoints for this legal case.

Maybe they were planning a freeware SAGE replacement? Maybe EA wouldn't have liked this...

or you can just chill and be patient like everyone else

[Brad]

this thread just screams D:

Oh well, hope this gets sorted out

[D.K.]

Ain't easy, lad. Ain't easy.

Well, it was just a matter of time when I will "break out" this week. Got a F in school, girl dumped me, got flu, and now this...

Just logic.

Uh.. lets see it's been 2 years since I had a girlfriend, got 2 D's and failing a class, brother went to college leaving me in charge when I didn't want to, still got no car, no cell phone, 16 years old and live in a depressing country.

So tell me I have no life. Be patient, all good things will come.

[Camille]

so logic defies... logic??

[Libains]

Either way, that's not what this thread is really about. I'm sure that when the time comes, information will be revealed as to what has happened here. At this moment however, we sadly have no choice other than to believe what we are being told. It is very possible that if something has crossed a legal boundary, then it would be extremely unwise for the staff to mention anything pertaining to the case, as such that they may risk their own legal futures by doing so. Hopefully, this is a misunderstanding of some sort and the air will be cleared sharpish. Until that point, it's not worth pushing as I get the distinct impression that the moderating team will not be happy with it.

Unfortunately they can't give any information on ongoing legal matters, because that could only make things worse. I'm curious about the details of what the problem is, myself, but patience is a virtue.

That is right, thanks Soul. I'll remove it now. I did forget about that.

[D.K.]

Ah, pity... well, can we do anything about it? Intimidate those who intimidate? Rape their families? Anything?

Well, we can only wait...

No problem, it's better to be safe then sorry.

Aww, really sad to hear this, hope this can be... uh... fixed very fast.

PS: Is "fixed" a proper usage of word here?

[Whitey]

I'm not buying it.

Really what reason would they have for doing this? To give GZ more attention? Why would they need to do that, its already captured the interest of the forum there would be no need for a stunt like this.

[Rai]

So you mean this announcement is a lie, and what Wizard said was sarcasm and the staffers are being sarcastic about this article. Is that what you mean?
