This project was basically started because of the drama that happened over the summer. Destiny barely got any respect here, and sought to create a game, exactly like tron, she had control over. The game is basically a locked down tron, with people already banned in the source code. Even all the servers go through Destiny and Compguy. Destiny wanted people on tron to actually migrate their servers from tron to this new game. It's more like an insult to the devs of this game. They did make the game however, and can do whatever they please with it. I heard about this game months ago, but didn't realize till now that this was the purpose of it.

If they are, I'm sure it somehow violates sourceforge's TOS. :) If it's a fork of arma, and they don't release all the code, maybe there'll be a fight. Hmmmmm...........

I was involved in this project at the beginning.

I contributed some awesome ideas. None of them were considered. The people in charge cared too much about the fun exciting novelties like ramps and bridges rather than the less interesting changes that would actually make Tron better. Like when people want to open a bar and spend all their time deciding what design of coasters to give people. Kinda silly.

Whether this is a result of inspiration or drama, I hope nobody takes it too seriously. Yes, I'm bitter about it.

Compguygene was the one who made the statements. Are you saying he's lying?

Point to source on WW forums or somewhere where he says it's all this is about or shut up. Even if it's true, those goals would be much easier achieved by distributing a simple ban list, there's definitely no need for a fork. And it's definitely not a slap in our faces. Don't try to pull us over to your side, whatever this is truly about.

I'm agreeing with z-man that this thread is essentially flame bait.
