I missed the "and it goes to legal part." Sue me. Like I said, speculation, "wild" or not, is going to happen whether you like it or not. The question, as I said, is if those in the know are going to be there to keep it on track. It's not like anyone here knows what's going on behind closed...

I'm speaking of the little games they had on Gleemax Games. GameTable Online, not Atari (there's no reason why they should be exclusive to any one game developer or bound by HASBRO's licenses), developed their online strategy games. So that WOTC can focus on their DDI and M:tG III projects, they...

That's certainly possible, but considering their already tight resources, then being downsized, I would think that there should be no hard feelings on 3pp's part if WOTC has to focus its immediate attention on keeping afloat. It appears that the results of this last year and a half has been as...

Likely archived in a list server. The forums were messing up horribly for quite a while. So either a limited number of threads got transferred to the new server, or they dumped the old threads from the old server to free up space. I'd imagine someone probably knows where to find the lists.

When you don't have anyone stating the actual facts, then you only have conjecture, assumptions based on typical scenarios. Thank you for giving us some information. But unless you or someone else in the know wish to continue to provide that kind of information, there's still going to be...

Linae was not the only one working on it. Scott mentioned "changes we made", showing that he and others, not just Linae, were working on the GSL. As I undestood it, Scott was already head of the licensing department, or at least used to be and is again. He is also not the only one having to...

Well, the analogy is almost accurate, but it breaks down at the point that you assume that the corporation has chosen to get drunk. The reality is that a corporation is more like a person with condition-induced somnolence. Yes, they act like they're drunk, but in reality are fighting desperately...

What he said ^

What's so bad about what Brown Jenkin suggested that you would say that?

You're correct. It is an assumption that a committee is working on it, but judging by the update regarding the revised GSL, it would seem that what you are pointing out is how it's being done, instead of by committee.

Yeah, that would seem to be what it will be like. While that seems to be the clear intent, I hope the wording doesn't screw it up though. There were a couple of points in the GSL that had great intent, but which wording made it interpretable with more than one meaning.

Robert's Rules of Order (as I remember it. Could be remembering a different part. If it's not 2/3, then it's 100% vote, which I doubt. A simple majority only works for preliminary approvals). Roberts Rules of Order is the standard handbook for most committees, business or otherwise.

Thanks for the news update. I like the SOR idea. It looks like they've added a cushion period to allow the opt-out, suggesting they have given thorough consideration to the licensee's rights. All we can do is wait to see how it looks.

Speaking of relevancy. That's the second thing you've said that had no relevance, as even you admit in your next statement. The first round was due to acquiring a bunch of employees from TSR. The second round was due to cutting down the staff for the same reason after 3.5 was finished. Is there...

Is striking that out somehow supposed to lighten the statement? News flash: it doesn't work. The relevancy is WOTC's motives regarding the GSL.

I suppose this is the crux of your point, but then this just misses the point of what I said earlier. I didn't specifically spell out that the people in charge should have good business sense AND be gamers because I thought the collective intelligence could understand my meaning without having...

My being lost on RangerREG's points is probably why you're lost on my points. If I don't think his points affect the conversation, then my points regarding his points aren't going to affect that conversation either. The Lorraine Williams point is still moot. Yes, a business head can make...

First, what does TSR and Lorraine Williams have to do with any of this? I'll tell you: nothing. Zilch, zip, nadda. If that's all you have as the basis for your opinion, then I would suggest reviewing the situation a little closer. Lorraine Williams was only out for her own agenda and didn't have...

I'm taking the discussion regarding WOTC's motives back over to the thread discussing it.

I believe you are confusing political compromise for corporate compromise. Besides this, WOTC is run by people who love the game. Judging by those they hire, I would expect it to be a prerequisite to any position in the company (which is good business sense; you have to love a game and put your...
