[QUOTE="Shakeshift, post: 8595488, member: 7034572"] The part that makes me feel that they're incompetent is that when all of this started, Lanasa actually [I]initiated[/I] the lawsuit against Wizards of the Coast, thinking that they at TSR3 were wolves and the corporation was a docile sheep waiting to be bullied into submission. I'm sure Lanasa's crack-filled idea was that they'd reclaim Dungeons and Dragons in it's entirety from Wizards of the Coast due to seizing a neglected domain name and they would (via Ernie Gygax) be holding the keys to the entire billion-dollar kingdom by showing the world that the selling of the original TSR to WotC was somehow fraudulent in some way, in spite of how improbable that would be, considering that Lanasa (and Ernie) had no legal claim to any of it anyway. I'm sure though the billions of dollars the company is worth blinded both of them to the realities of how corporations work. I'm sure they both thought they'd be on easy street after a legal battle. Best $300 that Justin ever spent to poach a domain name from someone. The incompetence is being proven now, especially in light of the lawsuit WotC filed against Lanasa (NOT his LLC's) and the amount of pressure Wizards is getting on social media to squash TSR3 flat. Lanasa can't make a dent in them in the courts, so all he has left is delaying gestures and stalling tactics to delay the inevitable. Basically Lanasa has already lost, and so he's just trying to keep his head above water until the final verdict smashes him to splinters (financially.) Wizards has been carefully monitoring his financial shell game, and they've hired investigators to record all of his blunders and mistakes for posterity when court times does come around. A jury will almost inevitably come to see the side of Hasbro in this case, because Justin is just... BAD at doing his job. He's so careless and lazy. [/QUOTE]
