That's already a first mistake. Telling a company that may only partially own the rights to SubSpace that another company will host something they may partially own for money, they might just want some of that money or to claim more of the portion of SubSpace they already own. Nothing should have been said at all about that. This dispute was over another company using a spaceship-themed game called 'Subspace' with similar properties and us taking that right from them. Edit: P.S. I know that second sentence was a bit confusing, basically telling a company somebody wants to host their game for money is like offering them the idea of trying to get some money from that, etc. Also, I have nothing else to say about this (at least tonight). I'm just hoping that everyone calms down so we can take care of this the right way. I don't mean to be mean or bash anybody in any of my posts, this is our community and we need to stick together.

No, the other comment was towards 'rootbear75' because he had mentioned in another thread he is moving to a city 20 minutes from BDE's offices. I don't think everybody involved is happy either, because of the fact people are going to be paying for a game and community that is supposed to be free. Lets not get off topic on this subject/thread though, this is strictly about BDE and having the right person with the right information get in contact with them to help out the situation and to claim our name not only as a game but as an online community that has been around for over 10 years. I'm thinking if he/we can't get a hold of Priit K., then PoLiX is a genuine candidate for this. Speaking with Ghost beforehand may be beneficial toward the whole dillemma, but if this matter is that urgent, then I do say PoLiX go for it. Edit: freakmonger is absolutely right though, spamming BDE's e-mail (as well with information that may be misleading) is very unprofessional and could complicate things. I second the notion of nominating one to two representatives to handle this with care.

I was wondering if anybody had any active contact with Priit in the first place to be able to pressure him. As far as the 'gamersgate' idea, I read the other thread and it would be unethical for them to provide a free game so they can cash from it's benefits. The players whom paid would also realize the game was free in the first place and would most likely boycott the game as well as influence others to do so, and also it's in violation of SubSpace's license saying that the game is only FREE and may not be sold commercially whatsoever. As far as speaking to BDE in person, I'm no judge on this matter but I don't think you are the qualified person for that based on information somebody would give you over the internet. It needs to be somebody with in-depth knowledge of the situation (including SubSpace terms and license down to the T), be able to answer any question at the drop of a dime, and full knowledge of all possibilities the outcome may be whether it be good or bad. This seems like a vulnerable subject, and must be taken care of meticulously and with precautions.

do you have any form of contact with priit at all? any of his e-mails or some sort of chat program he might logon regularly?

Good to see you guys still around here and there. I still talk to old ASWZ players all the time on and off of Subspace (via AIM also). I started playing there in 2001, and still think about the ol' flag game 8v8 that I miss. I wish it could have still been around, as well as all of the players from it. We had our own small community, almost like a leg off of the whole Subspace community. Once ASWZ died I moved my way over to Warzone which died a few years after as well, now I play Premier League in Chaos Zone, and some other old school ASWZ'ers play there, as well as Powerball. Anyways, nice to see you guys are still around here and there, hopefully we'll run across each other.
