Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

When you insist on making such clearly outlandish claims and making it clear you're going to break the law, you shouldn't expect to be treated with fairness and respect. That's reserved for people who actually follow the licenses they've agreed to and don't run around trying to pass other people's works off as their own.

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

You are a thief. Period. Arguing it with us is futile.

EDIT: I am curious though what a Tupac song has to do with your thieving actions.

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

Why don't you and Samson and "prof1515" create a bot that just says "Thief" every time I write a message. Might save you some time, you know.

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

I'd only use that bot here and TMC, because if you posted on any of the three MUD sites I moderate the "bot's" response would ban you.

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

No, they perform an investigation which requires research which is why it takes up to a year to actually get listed.

To the haters:
The one thing I haven't ever seen you self-indulging prideful, lying ignorant bigots do is apologize for being such pudding-for-brain morons, dolts and trolls.

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

I am not in the habit of apologizing when I have done nothing wrong. Nor am I ignorant or a liar, though both of those adjectives describe you rather accurately.

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

We'd prefer to see the administration revoke your privileges to post about your thievery here, but it seems they're not going to do that.

There's a reason we banned you from MudBytes, you're demonstrating it right now.

Guess again. I've filed for 3 copyright registrations for MUD code and each time spent $30 to get the certificates and they all arrived in my hands within 4 weeks each time. If they did any research at all, it was very VERY quick. Given that it's a government agency, I can't credit them with that kind of efficiency or accuracy. I could have been registering for copyright on Windows and given them chapters from War and Peace without any trouble

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

No they don't. They do not verify anything. They are just a record keeping organization. In the event of legal action, all the US Copyright office will do is present a legally valid submission date to the courts. They do not verify whether or not the submitter is the legitimate owner of the copyright. That is a matter for courts, and it would be exceptionally onerous and expensive for the US Copyright office to attempt such a thing. They sure as heck couldn't afford to do it for the $35 electronic filing fee.

Furthermore, it does not take up to a year to get listed.



"Ninety percent of online filers should receive a certificate of registration within six months of submission. One-third should receive a certificate within ten weeks of submission."

So 2-6 months approximately. I've filed tons of them, and I don't remember a single one taking more than 1-3 months.

Filing a copyright is one of the simplest and most straight forward processes in the entire realm of the federal government. It is not proof of anything beyond the fact that you sent them a copy of a copyrighted work you claim to own.

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

No, that sounds more like the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office). Verification of a trademark can take that long but that's completely different than registering copyright.

We're not being any of the things you described. You are describing yourself. Self-indulgent? I'd call posting repeatedly in thread after thread year after year the same bull**** pretty self-indulgent. Prideful? Being unable to acknowledge your ignorance of U.S. copyright law, the facts about the origin of your code and even the source of the reaction against you is pretty prideful. Lying? Claiming to have invented YouTube, OLC and any of the other things you had no involvement with is dishonest. Ignorant? Just look at your arguments regarding U.S. copyright law. Bigoted? Just look at your refusal to acknowledge reality when it doesn't agree with your opinion. By the way, I'm still waiting to hear someone speak up and say you're correct. *crickets continue to chirp* Morons? Again, look at your arguments regarding copyright law. Only a moron or a self-indulgent, prideful, lying, ignorant bigot would continue to argue your opinion in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Same applies for dolt. Troll? You're the one going on TMS and TMC stirring up trouble with your baseless opinions and demands. Sounds like a troll to me!

One of the signs of narcissism is blaming others for your own weaknesses and failures. Your inability to acknowledge your errors and inacurrate opinions demonstrates that quite effectively. Additionally, your boasts of your clearly-exagerrated IQ and abilities are also a sign of a narcissist mind. I'm not sure what, if any, treatment is available for such tendencies but my heartfelt suggestion is that you seek it immediately lest the remainder of your life be as pathetic as your life thus far.

On a related note, I am introducing a motion to the RPMUD Operating Committee to prohibit the listing of any game using stolen code unless the games themselves reinsert the proper credits. By default, any game using Nimud would therefore be banned from the listings due to the nature of Locke's crimes. I would like to also suggest TMS and TMC adopt such a policy and remove any such games from their listings.

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

I would hate to see these threads deleted, for one reason. Debate can never be bad. I don't care who is "right" in these cases, any thread where people are passionately debating their side of something that is obviously a complex issue of legality deserves to be forever used as as reference for any further problems.

Some of the threads are definitely winding down to being 'spam' so those I wouldn't mind seeing gone. But any of the threads that have a detailed length of information between users personal beliefs should remain for archival usage.

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

Also if we delete these threads we have no evidence to ban Locke if he continues posting more threads on his NiMud thing or whatever it is.

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

None of these responses warrant a reply.

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

And yet you just replied to them...

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

Yes, I wrote that, in a nutshell, I do not value their input and don't really feel a need to repeat myself further since they just keep attacking from the same position no matter what I do or say.

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

That's called consistency. Our position has not changed, yet apparently we still need to repeat it because you're willfully ignoring it. You're a thief, a liar, and a worthless paranoid human being. One day you'll get the justice you deserve and my only regret would be not being there to see it happen.

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

"Our" -- speaking in the third person? It might be appropriate to note that the FBI lie detection field manual discusses liars as those who "have difficulty speaking in the first person", using plural pronouns instead of singular when referring to thyself.

It's basically irrational behavior; you refuse to accept any evidence I give you and, at the same time, accept only the evidence that you provide. This is why it is best to be tried by an unbiased jury, and not the biased ones such as yourself and your "crew".

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

Man, you give Good Crazy. :-D

Seriously, you'd think by now I would be full to bursting with it, but it's just so delicious I... I just can't stop!

Drakkos

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

You do realise that you've been addressing multiple people, by using the plural form, right?

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

Yes. "Our". Because there are at least 3 of us who have openly taken the position that you're a liar and a code thief. So it would be appropriate to refer to that in the 3rd person.

Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL
 

Our seems rather accurate to me. Samson, prof1515, Delerak, KaVir and I seem to all have very similar positions. Collectively that would make it our position.

PS:

Splitting hairs? It might be appropriate to note that Fizban considers those who comment on another's word choice when losing a debate are usually pathological liars and thieves trying to change the topic.
