What happened between green ronin and osseum

[Kae'Yoss]

Well, I don't know about justice, but to slowly twist and snap his bones (I'll save the spine last) without anesthesia sounds like a fair compensation.

Screaming like a little girl and begging to stop the fracturing would just be icing on the cake.

That's appalling. Horrible. I like the way you think!

SSI Shredding Demonstrations The Dishwashers and Refrigerators ones are particularly enlightening. Caution: they have the sound turned way up on most of these small videos.

That was COOL! If I had Bill Gates money I know what I'd do on my spare time .. feed the shredder!

Interestingly though, we do not see people coming out of the woodwork to say that Green Ronin deserved it. Nice to see that people don't allow their personal views to color their reactions.

Food for thought. Although, to be entirely honest, Green Ronin isn't begging for handouts either, so, there's a good explanation for the lack of ire.

This just sucks.

Blood and souls (and large pieces of hardware) for my lord shredder!

And BMWs .. oh why didn't the Shredder vs. BMW video show..

Gates probably feeding gold bars to shredders right now

Moderator's Notes:
On the one hand, I'm clear that y'all are joking with the threats of violence. On the other hand, I can't help but feel that Eric's Gramma has a limit in this direction, as well: when you're discussing a real person and describing how you would torture them to death, that sets off alarm bells. It's fine to talk about the incident, but please do so without the torture fantasies, okay?

(Note that I've thought for a bit before deciding what to say in response to this thread; if you believe that forbidding torture fantasies on ENWorld is too heavy-handed, please report this post and give your reasons. I'm willing to listen).

The worst I feel for is the people harmed by this malicious action. A lotta good people in the industry, doing this for labor of love, and a few who tried to make a living doing something they love most. Sucks to the rotten core, and why I'm supporting GR in their efforts.

Besides Bad Axe and Green Ronin, who else was burned by them? I know that for a time Bastion's stuff was also distributed through Osseum, but I don't know how or if they were affected.

The publishers of A|State, Contested Ground Studios (who are friends of mine, as it happens), used them, and suffered as a result.

So what does 2006 hold in store for CGS? Well, an awful lot actually. After the trauma that was 2005, we're really going to be kicking on this year. 2005 saw us being hampered somewhat by Osseum, our fulfillment partners, going under and owing us a fair bit of money. However, we're now in a much stronger position than we were then, so can push on with our plans, even if they are now a year behind. Here's what we have in store:

They're okay and all, but I don't think they were particularly chuffed about what happened.

I agree. This is beyond despicable. One man's selfish act affects the livelihood of so many hardworking people. Here's to hoping that this criminal is eventually discovered and forced to pay what he owes.

Enron sort of served as the wake-up for the Big Industry.

Now we have Palladium and Green Ronin for the Gaming Industry.

(If you look around, you'll see thousands of small businesses hit each year with this sort of crap).

Lots of hardworking people lose a lot of money each year to creeps like this. There are a couple of ways you can do to protect yourself, but not everything is 100%.

If I was at Green Ronin, I'd be putting this guy's name & picture up and telling everyone

"If you see this guy, please let US & the Police now you've seen him, he's accused of X counts of (insert the various charges here)."

The gaming community (while small) is distributed World-Wide. Who knows, GR might get lucky & some gaming stiff in Peoria might see this guy & tip the cops.

While I'm not advocating using left over fireworks as a suppository or alternate uses for industrial shredders. Heck, I don't even think egging his house or keying his car is called for.

What we need is to catch the guy, prosecute him & send him to prison. (Well, he'd probablly be able to cop to some sort of deal for probation).

Has this even been brought to the notice of the Authorites? I'm hoping GR had enough business sense to show the guy commited Fraud and Theft.

So, come on, give us a name. Actually...

PLEASE give us a name, before some internet rumors start the names flying. It takes all of 40 seconds with Google to find a list of the President, VP, Director of sales & the other staff at Osseum Entertainment. Most of which have also been left in the lurch if he just skipped town. In the age of the Internet, it's more a matter of knowing how to FIND information, not wether or not it EXISTS.

So, let's do a cool Live-Action RPG. It's called Find the Weasel.
