going PRO
i've started a business plan
on google docs of course
highlighting a possible projection over the next year
to get this game on the map
generate a bit of money for z-man and the developers
and a major re-distribution of micro-payments amoungst the players
and thus defining/exemplifying a new economic model
one based on open-source principles
i found this game nearly four years ago
saw it's potential then
and after three years of self-organising tournaments
PROOF ladies and gentlemen that it can be done
PROOF that we can trust one another
PROOF that this community have the skills that are sadly lacking out in the real world
so
i make a call to those who are interested
because the time is now
what with the tron legacy film coming out next year
i don't want this game to be commercialised like everything else has been
i want players to be in charge
their honour and love in playing the game is not being exploited by some big-buck fat-cats
so
this is a call to all players who want to go PRO
you get to determine what that means
who will ensure that the power rightly stays in our hands
"it's only a game " / "not any more"
make the decision
ps
i'll leave the following space on this forum for the dissenters and the skeptical
just like what happened with the original tronic idea
pm me if you are genuinely interested
just like the ladle
it won't happen unless those who love this game take a step forward

Re: going PRO
hehe
thanks sine
so
no skeptical derision...?
either that's because
1
people would like to wait until they see the details
when it all becomes open and people are crazy enough to try
2
people have a private hope a dream a wish
that this could actually happen?
1 / 2
make the decision
(of course
option 3 is
this is complete tomfoolery
and it effects you neither way
and are happy to sit on the fence...
just play a game
and however much you love it
however much you feel part of a community
you don't want to put it to the test...)

Re: going PRO
Oh good, the muddleheaded, deluded fool is back with more grandiose idears. I loaded the game two nights ago. There was a grand total of 8 people playing. Get a fooking clue. You are not going to change the world with this video game.
You don't think people self-organise in "the real world?" Man, you truly are stupid; a ditsy, airheaded simpleton. And you're teaching kids? Sad.
I realise much of this response is not only frank but crude. But that's really all this deserves.

Re: going PRO
Little kids have an excuse for their silly and foolish intellectual and conceptual deficits (which are usually amusing). You're supposed to be a grown damn man.

Re: going PRO
ROFL. This community has skills? Man, this place is filled with more mouth breathers than any other game, also how does this game bring the "pro" into people. When anyone can just download this game, play a few games by pressing 2-4 buttons (flame me if I'm wrong), and be good at it. If anything a new system needs to be implemented to be make this bring out the "pros" or just the plain stupid.2020 wrote: PROOF that we can trust one another

Re: going PRO
if it was so easy why does Silar permanently get core dumped whenever he plays?
Re: going PRO
Please read the .doc before posting. There are some interesting things in it. It makes me sad to see this turn into every other thread here.
