    Even so, I hardly think "open discussion" means "same exact discussion over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over....
    I understand your annoyance at repetition, but as I see it...and I really can't understand why you don't see it. How much is there really to discuss about Evony?

    The critical points of the game (Guide forum, help & questions, screenshots) pretty much are the discussion. Anything else related to Evony is just the leftover stuff. Almost like that dead animal that you see on the side of the road..you know the one where you can't decided whether it's a raccoon, or a skunk.

    If repetition is needed to drill some sense into them (Evony team) about their advertising methods, well, then I guess it's needed. Because you know, when is it going to be enough?

    Also, I'm not worried about being banned. As I see I haven't violated any of the rules or policies. Evony was willingly posted the "Press release" onto the forum, and I merely responded to it. I'm not a big time forum user (noted by post count), I sometimes pop on to see what I can use for the game to make it better.

    I have read Bruce Everiss posts on Evony. I agree with some of the points. As he points out, Evony, which was Civony at the time did steal images from Age of Empires II. Now, tell me that he's still ruining the game?

    I find it amusing that I received an infraction for saying "False things about Evony" which are in fact true.
    Not only that, they are true things which I actually dont see any problem with, except that Evony refuses to admit to it.
    ROFL.

    Bah a lot of games steal images and concepts from one another in the B grade end of the Games Dev world..
    Starting out like that is not a problem in my books.

    Evony has made a lot of relatively new and interesting additions to the game. Enough that it is it's own game in it's own right now.

    Evony just need to come clean about stuff which really doesn't matter at the end of the day and make a good clean break from thier past.

    well it really doesnt matter if you havent violated any of the written rules or policies they can still ban you, close the thread, delete the thread.

    The way it was explained is that they dont enforce the written policy that is available to all the players to read and abide by, they enforce their particular interpretation of the policies intent.
    since most of us aren`t mind readers we arent able to know exactly how any other person is going to interpret the intent of any part of the written policy and rules,therefore we have no way of knowing if or when we might be violating the interpreted intent of the policy.
    Depending on which mod or evony rep is doing the intrepetation of the policies intent, nothing may happen or everything might happen.
    notice my signature?

    Nice how you so willingly take things out of context to capitulate your lie. Are you sure you don't work for 13-1?

    If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

    They stole something, whether they did it 50 years, or 100 years ago doesn't change a thing. They violated the copyright in order to promote their game.

    But as much as I despise these "me too" threads, so long as everyone obeys the forum rules, I will allow it. Besides, I see other things here in GD that require the services of my banhammer....
    I know that they all deserved their respective bans (Myself included) but surely you see the humor in it? It APPEARS as though an example were made, regardless of the truth.

    I've said it before, I say it again, you twist people's words to suit your own intent.

    For those who aren't people who are trying to poison minds against GOOD moderators, that quote is from a thread asking why a thread advertising another game got closed.
    I point out that advertising on a competitor's personal forum is not only a cheap, low tactic, it is also against this forum's rules, as with many other countless forums.
    Foxybunny had said that to indicate that she would have closed it because it is a low tactic, whether it had been against the rules or not, because to advertise on a competitor's forums is a despicable tactic.

    A reminder for our community that Thalin has already stated that the pending litigation is not to be discussed.
