And once again waltz, we all thank you so very much for doing this for all of us!

It's also great to hear things are going well! ;D
What thing is it without a name that brings my mind ere back the same to thee?

Ah. I don't know anything about his previous exploits, so it may have looked that way to him. Still unfortunate, though.
I imagine a lot of former Sierra employees are pretty jaded about software corporations. :(

So .. I've been following TSL for years (finally made a forum account) and am just sad/pissed about the whole situation. I fully support you guys 100% of the way. I just think that it's f'd up that you guys have gotten all this way and now they're saying "no."

...To hell with activision.. I say we take this issue to the capitol. Who's with me?

welcome to the forum!

sadly, your idea won't work.  it has been mentioned a lot on past pages of the thread.  many a time.

we are already talking and negotiating with activision, and at this point it would be stupid to just go up and start trying to attack them.

I think we are all pissed, but there is still a good amount of hope.  check out our website at http://savetsl.co.cc

read some of those articles... things are looking good for the team last I heard.

I am not on the TSL team, I am just the leader of the save TSL team.  (the 3rd one actually, lol)

anyway, read up.  turns out that the f*** activision, to hell with activision or whatever.... it just isn't a good idea.  you would also be surprised how many people suggested it.

^ agreed. everyone's anger is merited, but there is no productive outlet for that anger.

let the negotiations continue. i am confident that something good will come from them.

You can still write polite letters to Activision, thanking them for opening their doors to negotiation and urging them to allow TSL to continue. I would say that's a pretty productive outlet. :)
So what if I am, huh? Anyways, I work better when I'm drunk. It makes me fearless! If I see a bad guy, I'll just point my sword at him and saaaaaaaaaay, "Hey! Bad guy! You're not s'posed to be here! Go home or I'll stick you with my sword 'til you go, 'Ouch! I'm dead!' Ah-ha-ha!" Ha-ha. *hic* See? Ain't no one gonna be messin' wit' ol', Benny!

^ right. i just meant kicking and screaming will do no one any good.

keep your fingers crossed, man.

no one except the team and activision has heard anything in a little while.  not even me.  but I think there is hope and we just need to keep on hoping for the best.

As I've said before... no news is good news.  Just keep on doing what you all are doing and things will come through in the end.

I have no doubt that all will be well in the end.  I'm preoccupied with a number of games at the moment anyway- Final Fantasy XIII and Suikoden to name just a couple.  The Space Quest 2 remake over at IA seems to be moving very close to release, so for those of you who are into that series, I suggest taking a look at that in the mean time.

There is also the E3 Expo going on right now. I'm pretty sure there have been numerous amounts of resources taken up(On Activistion's side) in the past few months and even currently for that event.

Now that the Game is Dead, atleast spill the beans and show us everything you guys have done :(

Technically, with the cease and desist, we can't do that. It would be a direct violation. However, we're still in talks with Activision, so hope is not dead yet!
