An actual doing-stuff thread re: fundraiser thing
http://nodewar.penguinbomb.com/forum/showthread.php?p=20966
(A thread about contact info for :I:)

I found 2 phone numbers, belonging to the same guy, plus his adress, and pictures from him with wife and kid (like that'll help), all from googling the DNS contact name. Any other names from :I: people to contact could be handy.

Not really, the physical post adresses are all for the same old Interplay building, currently only occupied by an empty, debt-collecting, landlord. The email addys are either @interplay or @hotmail, and the phone numbers I can't try out.

Still, it's something, and it should be possible to find out a little bit more from there. Just having a few names and a general address gives something to work with (provided they haven't delisted their numbers or anything, which is quite possible).
EDIT: Yep. Unless he moved to Texas all of a sudden, phone's delisted. The guy who owns the office building would have some kind of forwarding info, if only 'cos he needs it if he ever wants to pick up on overdue rent... not that he'd necessarily give it to us, given how Iplay's been hounded by the press lately...
DOUBLE EDIT: I might have Renich. Sorta. Except that at all of those are close enough to Irvine to be the right Renich.

You know, come to think of it, someone just got a hold of Volition and it's quite possible they'd know how to reach someone in Interplay, via personal phone number or something. I guess we'll have to see what comes of that, but still, cool. You and Singh both- good work.


Hey, Singh, that's actually kinda a freaky game. I'd thought that genre had died back in the early 90s...

****.

Is that Bobo retard one of us? If so, can some admin give me his IP number? I wanna murder the little ********, or at least make sure he permanently loses the capacity to type **** on the wrong forum.

There is now a need to move this whole affair to a more private setup. Uhm... mods, is it at all possible to have a private forum for discussing affairs here, for convenience's sake? I'd like to keep a thread out for volunteering and then move everything more solid to somewhere where every failed abortion on the Net can't find it and run around making ultimatums to Derek Smart.

I did say Volition was *looking* into acquiring the liscense in the Avault thread. I didn't say that they were buying it. :p

You'll notice this wasn't directed at you, but at Bobo.

We don't know what Volition's actually doing, and giving Derek the opportunity to go and get a better idea of that than we have before further calls are made wasn't the best move, but that wasn't what annoyed me. I may have had some reserve pissed-offedeness that I directed towards you, but nothing personal intended. Mostly I just wanna get face-to-face with the ****wad who's assigned himself spokesperson for the fundraiser, and do something to make sure he and his fellow morons don't attempt to fulfil that function again.

While I'm more or less on the subject: Krackers, no insult meant. He'd already dismissed you as a moron on art subjects just recently, and, well, you gotta admit, you aren't Venom. I'm not, either.

Just wanted to bud in and tell you guys that you have quite alot of goodwill out there and alot of people that are willing to help ( me included ) if you succeed in setting something that feels serious (fundraising). I hope you'll be able to do it before it's to late. Good luck.

Stryke: did you pay those 15 bucks?

Does anyone have another name of an Interplay guy?

Kas: It was more than $15 for any information with a guarantee of being marginally accurate, and I'm not about to pay $200 bucks for some random bastard's private info when we could poke around a little more and get it for $50 or free.
