[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 8797439, member: 7808"] Okay, LaNasa admits a number of interesting things. I'm going to jump around some of the declarations he makes: "I, Justin LaNasa, declare as follows: ..." He admits that he knew about Jayson Elliot's TSR2. I think this will open up Ernie to some really heavy troubling depositions. "For example, Jayson Elliot, Ernie Gygax, and Luke Gygax used the TSR Mark (as defined in the Response Brief) between 2011 and 2019 without any assertion of superior rights by WOTC that I am aware of." He basically admits that the crappy playing cards were made only to secure the trademark. "14. As of August 24, 2022, TSR began offering playing cards bearing the Star Frontiers Mark on the websites located at [URL]https://tsrmuseum.com/onlinestore[/URL] and [URL]https://tsr-hobbies.com[/URL]." LaNasa does eventually come out and say he "suspects" Semora was the one who made the offensive version: "40. As the only known person with access to an editable copy of the SFNG Game, I suspect that Mr. Semora made these unauthorized modifications to the SFNG Game and released that version (which now appears as Exhibit E) to the public in an effort to harm and tarnish the reputation of me and my companies." LaNasa admits that the mock ups he posted images of were fake, and the that book doesn't actually exist: "49. The image of the SFNG Game depicted on the Museum and TSR websites (as seen in Exhibit P below and in paragraph 7 of the Rainwater Declaration, which I have reviewed) was merely a digital mockup of a book showing what the future game book might look like. It does not show an actual product that is currently in existence and available for sale. There is not one page of text between the digital covers. The book does not exist." [/QUOTE]
