No. Knasser's post said: That said, anyone reading through the history of all this and applying some logic, ought to come to the conclusion that CGL and its supporters are majorly in the wrong. You may or may not agree on his take on the situation, but trying to make him sound like a douche by addi...

All indications are that no, Loren hasn't given the money back - mostly because he doesn't have the money to give back. Several efforts to get him to sign a promissory note to repay the funds have, likewise, failed. I believe he is still drawing a salary. It is believed that someone has finally prie...

What about the public announcements CGL has made admitting the problem to various degrees, or the several documents posted relevant to the case? Are those bullshit too? Hmm, well lets review what I said perhaps: Thats utter BS. Reading through a bunch of message boards where 90% of the posts are ju...

No. The reasons why have been spelled out a bit here.

Have you seen the charts yet?

The internet is not the world, for all that some of us think it should be, and most people are ignorant or, knowing, just choose not to give a damn. For the Colemans, I think the bulk of the milk has been taken from the cow. Loren still draws a salary, and he and his wife are the only shareholders o...

Sometimes I feel bad for Jason and how much he gets dumped on here. I mean he himself is not a thief, right? He's not even accused of being one. I may not be the best one to do this, but...whattafuck: 1) I still feel Jason has lied to, and generally misled, both the freelancers and the fans on mult...

I don't believe that's the case here. This is a forum that was announced well in advance to a dedicated group of fans; it's still extremely small compared to most other forums, and has the occasional spambot problem inflating the numbers a touch. Wait for the initial rush to subside and we'll see wh...

Nope. Different trees. Not man-eating.

Fun fact for anybody interested: this is the same conversation which led directly to me being banned from the freelancer forums.

From my understanding, that's about the size of it. I think it works like most surety bonds where they only have to put up like a fraction of the principal through a bond agency...but admittedly, I don't know. Of course, posting the bond doesn't guarantee they'll win either. If the judge even signs ...

CGL is asking the judge to require each of the creditors attempting to force them into bankruptcy to post a $75,000 bond. If the creditors fail at their effort, the bond is used to pay CGL back for its expenses on the trial.

For anyone still interested in following the bankruptcy case, CGL's lawyer has filed a motion asking for each creditor to obtain a $75k bond. (link)

[/edit]I had a big long rant here, but re-reading it I honestly can't remember what the fuck I'm arguing about here. Let's assume I was wrong and I'll go fuck off under a rock or something for a little while.

I say that Loren L. Coleman is a fucking hack, since he came up with the idea, and that he also believes it would sell. Because LLC doesn't give a damn about Shadowrun, he only cares how much money he can wring from it. The DotA, if you'd bothered to read them, are pretty shit. You haven't seen the ...

Ancient History: Dismissing Fuchs' arguments with "your opinion doesn't matter" is bullshit. He does have valid points, and telling him to shut the fuck up does not make them go away. From what has been posted so far in this thread, Shadowrun does not seem to have weaker magic than Earthd...

Your whole spiel can be boiled down to you complaining about someone getting filthy, filthy Earthdawn on Shadowrun, and when it was pointed out that at no time did Earthdawn or even "ancient magic" overpower Shadowrun's modern tech-heavy culture, you started into your fucking rant about ho...

T'be fair, I am a whiney fangirl. But Fuchs is still trying to compare apples and oranges here.

That would be true - but even when throwing caution in the wind and casting raw you were far slower than in SR. I would have thought that casting raw would have been at least as fast as SRs. No, if you force cast it you're just as fast as SR, and you take drain. My point is: ED was made as a mediev...

Earthdawn wasn't selling well by the standards of the time (i.e. it was selling more than most RPGs do these days), and so was discontinued. FASA still owns it, and licenses the product out to RedBrick Ltd. and possibly some other companies in Europe.

Fuchs wrote:I simply can't accept that in thousands of years, ED didn't manage to get say manabolt working at LOS.

One more time, let me try to get this across: what you think does not matter.

Then it makes even less sense why their bread and butter combat spells are so damn weak compared to SR's. Why they cast so slowly, and lack the options SR offers. It's like they developped nukes, but the firearms were stuck at the level of matchlocks. Not to mention that SR magic offers a lot of th...
