    CIG Responds to Crytek

    Crytek is full of um, poop. (every 6 year old I ever knew loves the word poop)

    CIG Responds to Crytek

    Yeah I get it. There was always the possibility that Chris Roberts made a decision about dumping Crytek without consulting his lawyers, in fact this may actually be the case. That's how this kind of thing happens far too often. I used to say "If lawyers were involved when you bought your...

    Trading: Banking

    Interesing idea. But I'm curious about the names you came up with, you aren't by chance an undercover Canadian, insead of being from Oz? These seem like very Canadian names for banks. TIB = Got me here a moment, but Maybe RBC. RBC is the largest bank in Canada, and one of the wealthiest...

    CIG Responds to Crytek

    The law, well contract law at least, is so tedious because it is very very concise language, meant to convey the conditions of the contract so that there can be no misinterpretation, and even over the passage of time with the inevitable change in the meaning of certain words, the intent of the...

    CIG Responds to Crytek

    Also: 8.2. of the agreement describes that if either party is insolvent or can't otherwise pay their obligations, they must inform the other in writing. And that if they are insolvent or can't otherwise pay their obligations, the contract is terminated (ii) Crytek may be in violation of this...

    CIG Responds to Crytek

    Sure. It might take a couple of posts, but I'll do my best. Just a point: The GLA is a document, the license agreement, negotiated between Crytek and CIG, but the document itself is the property of Crytek, since it is clearly not possible for CIG to grant itself a license to Crytek's...

    CIG Responds to Crytek

    Heh. I read this shit. I'm a former and potential future entrepreneur (We'll know by May this year), who owns some intellectual property, and holds 2 patents, as well as several hundred copyrights in software, and has participated in the construction of several dozen license grants: The...

    About losing a real money purchased item without insurance

    It tends to do that as you get older. But here's something to sleep on: 10,000 light years away from here, there is a large nebula 1000 times the diameter of our solar system called G34.3. Why is that relevant? First, because the nebula is in the Constellation Aquila. Second, because G34.3...

    I suddenly have a Retaliator??

    What I wasn't sure of is why I have the Retaliator, Buck, and an extra hornet Hornet, an extra Connie, and two extra cutlass black's. (This is the list of "extras" in my inventory) It confused me a little as to which ones were the subscriber toys. Then I figured out there is an inventory...

    About losing a real money purchased item without insurance

    So you hit the nail on the head, and why I was concerned. The way the insurance mechanic works has not been well explained by the community, or by some CIG employees. When I checked the RSI website, not the forums, you get a much clearer picture. According to the Insurance FAQ, and statements...

    That is absolutely hilarious! So you get it in Financial software too? We used to say, "The light at the end of the tunnel is actually the headlight of the freight train carrying the next change request"

    About losing a real money purchased item without insurance

    You guys are funny. I'm not complaining about LTI. I have LTI on most of my ship inventory. I am saying that if there is no in game mechanic that someone without insurance could use to get a ship back, then that is not a level playing field when compared with LTI. It's a financial issue...

    About losing a real money purchased item without insurance

    What an unfortunate way to explain how it works. I gotta say, I do not like the way insurance is developing. You won't lose your ship, it won't be removed from your account, but you won't be able to use it until you "pay more". What's the difference between "you won't be able to use the ship"...

    Clive Johnson CIG dispel some myths that get repeated quite a lot...

    I just want to be clear about where I stand on this. I absolutely LOVE where they're going with this game. I'm critical of CIG, because what I do for a living closely resembles what they do for a living so I can be, but I am not negative about it. I'm also not insinuating anyone else is...

    Actually this is because it really doesn't take much CPU power for a multi-threaded cpu to sort through the big ass RAM chunk that is paging your 40Gb file, It just takes time. The consequence is, your GPU is spending most of the time between frame rendering, wondering when the CPU will...

    East Coast Weather

    That's incredible. I've seen this on the St Lawrence river, where huge sheets of ice 3 and 4 feet thick are tossed into the air when the pressure builds up too high. It sounds like a sonic boom. CRACK! There's probably a lot more pressure behind frozen sea water when the tide comes in.

    THAT is the quantum mastic tape! In Levski, there's a quantum spring too, it will reach up, grab you and make SURE you saw the texture of the front wall of the hanger bay. It's reached out and grabbed me after 2 quantum jumps after leaving Levski. One thing to try, is to turn your engines on...

    East Coast Weather

    You folks in the path of that Nor Easter, please take care. Don't go out if you don't know how to dress for that kind of weather. It's more dangerous than you think if you haven't experienced something like that before. I just don't want to hear that anyone died of exposure, or broke their...

    Thoughts and prayers to all our Oregon members

    Yes. Both New Jersey, and Oregon have laws that prohibit self serve gas stations. Oregon just passed a law that says they're now allowed in towns with less than 40K population or something like that. I remember when Ontario did it. It was really confusing for a long time, because diesel...
