I thank u for a wonderful program called br.net. I remember the first time I went into a server running BR. The motd read “type !rules for rules” and I did. Then I thought.... dam that’s cool. Until renegade is finally shut down by EA server admins around the world will continue to use Blaze Regulator.net Many thanks go out to you.

You will be missed.
I have always respected your perspective, and candor in all things, and consider you a true intellectual. Thank you for sticking it out as long as you have. I hope we cross paths again some day.
There is no dishonor in calling an end to anything. In contrast, it shows great maturity to finalize things properly, and not just disappear from the radar. Unlike many who post "this is it" and come back, I know this is the end. You have always said what you meant, and followed up on all of them.
Of all the folks I have "met" out here, you were the only one I ever wanted to actually meet, other than K9, and hareless.
Fair winds, and following seas old man.

Not if it wasn't conditional on his being a team member. Plus he stated he was tying up loose ends. One can only assume that would be a loose end. He's never boned you before.....

Umm that doesn't mean I don't deserve an answer! Some of blackhand-studios main goals hinge on our non-profit corporation status, which Dante was setting up. And now since he does not "like being in this community any more then having an ingrown hair on my ballz", and flat out said he is throwing away his projects. If he is going to throw away things like Dead6 that he worked his ass off on, why should I not wonder if he is going to bother to follow up on the legal documentation? Dante is basically the legal owner of our company, wouldn't you be concerned if your company president announced that he didn't give a fuck about the company anymore, and was selling off all his stock?
I have met Dante in person, and he is a great guy. However I don't really appreciate having to read on a fucking forum that he has decided (yet again) to leave the community and look down on us. I also don't appreciate the entire team being lumped into some category of people trying to have "total control" of Renegade. Maybe with RG there would be total control...so what? Every game that runs punkbuster, the pb programmers have total control of that, as every gamer is running their code. Its not a bad thing, why paint them as some sort of power mad Nazis?
Whatever, Im still too pissed off to talk about it reasonably. I really should be talking to Dante in private about this, but since he found it appropriate to announce this shit and put me and the team down in public without so much as clicking my AIM/ICQ icon and talking to me, or saying "hey guys..." in the IRC channel that he and the team is in, then I am replying in the same fashion.

Actually, being the corporate shark that I am, I would offer him buyout options on his stock and consolidate my own control.
This is an opportunity, depending on how you look at it.

Your choice. I stand behind you on it.
Stopped playing Renegade a few months ago. Found much more enjoyable things other than point games that involve little teamwork.
|
Since you want to talk logic:
If you stopped playing, and find much more enjoyable things to do, then why are you one of the point men in Blackhand?
No logic at all.

Dante I really never you but I did know Trey. I was probably his closest friend on the net when he passed away. I know that Trey looked upon you as a work in progress and would have been proud of you started with the Ren communitty. I also know that he would applaud your desire to move on. I don;t know what is happening here or with you but good luck to you.

Well, I will miss you Dante. Cannot say that I am not saddened to hear you go, but we all have lives to live and we should play the game for enjoyment, not through obligation.
(I see your new computer opened up a whole new world for new games; my experience with a new computer has made Renegade much more enjoyable for me, as I haven't really looked into other games. Oh well, to each his own.) Good luck!

[What "legal documents" are there to go with BHS? Its been going on for not too long now, and no new projects have been started or released by it. And it still has all but one member.
Was it registered as a non profit organization or something?
I fail to see the problem here.
|
Have you not read anything I said, or any posts in the past month? Yes it is registered as a legal non profit corporation, and yes there have been official blackhand-studios releases, as well as more to soon be made publically available (such as working scripts.dll/so for the LFDS). BHS certainly has more than one member (in fact it has more than half a dozen members). The paperwork was legally filed by Dante (via a lawyer) and with Dante as the CEO so to speak. So he in effect owns the company, he is the only one with the paperwork. If he throws it away or doesn't follow up on it, then we have to start over...or he could wait a couple of months and decide to claim all the BHS intelllectual property and sell it, or whatever he wants to do with it (not saying that he would). As I said Dante is a great guy, but business is business and if your company President comes in and says fuck the company Im selling out, then its cause for concern, so I am expressing concern, that is all.

Hey Dante,
I am not around here much anymore but i would like to thank you myself and on behalf of my brother Halo38 (who created various maps and worked on various mods) you were an inspiration to me and my brother to work in the field on multimedia design, programming etc. You may not have wanted the title as one of the main players in this community but you sure as hell deserve it. I am currently playing Planetside on Emerald Server, as the head of the Archangels clan (www.archangelsclan.net) for the planetside Chapter i havent seen that many Renevo guys around lately and dont know the status of your group but my guys would love to work with you in game and on our Ventrilo channel. Send me a /tell ingame so we can hook up.
