Connor isn't part of the royal family. I consider MoE a spinoff, so I never played it. I'm trying to find it now, because I've heard good things about it(not from adventure game fans). I've played the demo, so I think I know how the game plays. Only people that like action/adventure(heavy on the action) will like it, if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

Ashrie, let me join Say in welcoming you to the forum. Post early, post often, and just ask if you have any questions!

[Ashrie]

Thanks everyone *feels very welcome*  
All KQ fans...*tears up*

Where abouts in Aus do you live Ashrie?! I live in Canberra, so yeah, I would definitely post a cd to you!

( I can see all the yanks with 56k modems going.... "damnit!" )

[shadow=yellow,64]Welcome to the forum, Ashrie!! [/shadow]

I know we had this debate before (though I can't remember whether it was here, on the AGDI forum or on both) - But wouldn't selling the game on CDs (even at cost price) be an even worse copyright violation?

IIRC, that's what prevented AGDI from distributing their games on CDs... they even tried to stop someone from doing that on eBay

[Jeysie]

I'm not a lawyer (obviously), but I don't really understand how at-cost CD selling can be a violation. It's not like anyone would be making money. If at-cost CD selling is a violation, then that would mean that the only way not to be in violation would be if you're always *losing* money, either by giving away CDs, or giving away download bandwidth, or both. Seems kind of strange to me.

Peace & Luv, Liz

All Americans aren't yankees.

Too true, im an Orioles fan myself.  

Ooh that was horrible.

[Louisiana Night]

I was expecting a comment like that. I'm don't pay much attention to sports(as far as watching on TV), so would you mind telling me where the Orioles are from?

Hmm. Apparently the New York Yankees used to be the Baltimore Orioles. I'm assuming the joke was intentional, in which case I salute you.

(Ah, nothing like research skills to cover up a lack of actual knowledge about a subject. )

Peace & Luv, Liz

Nobody mess with the O's... sorry I'm a local boy... they might be mediocre at times but they are the home team!

Louisiana Night the Orioles are from Baltimore... http://baltimore.orioles.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/index.jsp?c_id=bal

I know it's not tenchically correct, but most aussies call any american a "yankie"...

A bit like all you yanks calling us.... ahh.... what do yuo guys call us?    

[GunHoMac]

pouchless kangaroos

[Louisiana Night]

It doesn't really bother me, it just stands out. Like if I said Ya'll(you all). I call Australians, Australians. I've heard people(mostly Australians, but some from the US) call Australians, aussies though.

Yankee
historically=people from New England
technically=people from Northern US


P.S. Thanks for telling me about the Orioles.

[Grundy]

Nah, the Eye Rolling just seemed appropriate at the time...  

As for distributing the game on CD... I was wondering whether it was legal or not. I guess I'll have to look into it a bit more before I go sending out cd's to everyone hey! ( Too bad for those on dial-up! )

[Louisiana Night]

Assuming that KQ9 is legal, making CDs(and being payed for the labor of burning them) should be just as legal.

[B'rrr]

...is kq9 legal??  

[Grundy]

Tricky situation....

If you sell the cd's and only accept cash, and try not to get 'caught' by anyone who would care to sue us.... then there's no paper record of it... no tax... etc...
