Shifty News Network-Rock n Roll Fantasy


Recommended Posts

Shifty News Network here on this fine day of our lord, August 26th, Anno Domini MMXVIII.

Today comes a pretty funny leak of pointless drama.

RnR's troubles with Bad Company and how BC called in fire support from Vanguard:

Wow what a wonderful father sneks make. Coaching his grandchild on how to be a good politician too.

This is Shifty, reporting the news no one else will.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stop whining and kill each other already!

@Prefonteenfrick you i want a refund now, ruining the show. It's not fun until the blood of the guilty and the innocent have covered the earth in a shining red pool for all to wade. >:(


Also, doesn't the rest of VG have a NAP with House Stark from Ayyslamic Crusade?
Goddammit Pre, you really are ruining the fun.

Interesting one, owning names in this game. Especially with themed alliances, not entirely sure anyone can own say Guardians of the Galaxy or something.

Doesn't come up a lot either way.

[11:52 PM] Prefontaine: But Keegoz is actually bad. [11:52 PM] Prefontaine: He's my favorite bad leader though.

BC realises that just because they're record company themed, they can't actually apply legally binding trademarks, right?

Clearly you've never met a Record Company Executive. Greediest lil shits on the planet.

In B4, GoG get sued by Disney for copyright infringement, if NS had to change from the UN to the "World Assembly" or whatever they changed it to. Then I wouldn't be surprised if some companies would get pissed off at people even using their names.

While we're doing this, I exercise my right to the "Black Knights" name as the only active co-founder and hereby request the infringers remove any and all references to my intellectual property.

</s maybe>

I like how my nations random spy attack made it to the news, but it had nothing to do with this. They both spied each other, stopped and that was the end and I spoke to dread about it. So we Gucci fam. 

The only thing TI did with this whole mess was the dumb ass embargo thing.

Sooo.... Where do we go to get the trademarks and copy rights? Is there a Sheepy office for Intellectual Property?

Alex will roll this out as a new feature:

Prevents a specific alliance name from being used, costs 10 credits per day to maintain.

As a point for clarification: I wasn't threatening war in order to coerce Dreadnought into doing anything. Bad Company had attempted to negotiate with RnR many, many times before I even had that conversation with Dreadnought, and he was as belligerent as depicted here. Since he would not come to the negotiation table regarding the name (which, in the end, he did do), anyone could have seen future conflict over it. Everyone here is, presumably, smart enough to see that. VG would have been pulled into such conflict, therefore it was in our interest to try and negotiate the situation from becoming one. 

House Stark kindly got Dreadnought to come to the table, and we got BC to do the same (despite their belief that Dreadnought would simply spout much of the same without any intention to change his mind about the name), and they negotiated. R&R agreed to change their name to RnR, change their flag, and everyone moved on (despite Dreadnought's prior attempts at poaching BC members being left unaddressed). No conflict will occur because of this, and it is quite old news.

Goddammit Pre, you really are ruining the fun.

Any conflict which would have arisen because of this likely would have occurred after the NAP would have expired. However, House Stark got RnR to come to the table, and a compromise was reached, everyone went home content. VG has no issue with House Stark, and as far as we are aware, House Stark has no issue with Polaris. 

 

 

Ultimately, the story here is that there is no story. Enjoy the non-prose nature of this leak which, presumably, came from Dreadnought after he was butthurt about having to change his alliance name and not getting his way. I, frankly, have bigger fish to fry, and won't be responding to this posting anymore. 

 

Good day all.
