I believe Voltion told THQ they'd like to acquire the license.  So.... V want the license, but it's effectively the decision of THQ whether or not a bid will be made.  Put it this way - it's up to THQ to decide on a bid, not Volition.

That's my recollection of dave's reply to Sandwich before it was pulled.

*nods*

Okay, that was one of the parts I was really unclear on.  So :V: would like to get their hands on the franchise again, but they need THQ to make a bid?

What the hell is the status of DSmart's bid on the liscense?  That's pretty confusing from this end.

Also, from wat everyone's said, it's pretty unlikely he could have a fan community shut down.  Has he done something like that in the past?

He can't in any way, that's already been stated by the Administrators.

As for the bid, that info will not come to us until the final decision is made, that's standard practice.

My own opinion is 'business as normal' for now :)

I'm pretty sure the nomination is over people. Volition already knows about DS's motives so there's no point to talk to them anymore.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

FSO is already like that.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Maybe the reps should include people who are in charge of major projects? 1 from SCP, 1 from HLP's staff, and 1 uber modder who's worked on and completed major projects.

How about that?

The principal idea is for there to be only one representative.
- Eddie Kent Woo, Setekh, Steak (of Steaks), AWACS. Seriously, just pick one.

If this thread went off topic like most threads, you wouldn't be asking that question.

Comes to show you that on topic threads suck. :p
