Gorf Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) Here is why..... Due to a few trouble makers, bringing up the IP issue on Gorf AGAIN, I have put the release on hold. One trouble maker told me he reported me to Midway's ip department. I laughed as I have been trying to get someone there for quite some itme now...well.... Though I am quite sure thos person expressing his displeasure with this release(obviously he hates a good cause) , is doing so only becasue he does not like me, I will shut him up and again do the right thing. Knowing I have to do what is right (with the fringe benefit to trump this problem causer and whatever his agenda toward/against me might be) I will hold off. Why? Becasue, after this person went off on me...I made a round about effort to get ahold of someone and I have finally contacted Midway. Instead of trying the IP department, I went to another department and worked my way around till I got Angel blackwell on the line. I explained what I wanted to do and she said she would be more than happy to give my request to the Midway IP lawyers. So I did just that. I wrote out an entire e-mail explaining what I want to do. She told me she thought it was noble idea and I told her it could be if she would help me. So I sent the e-mail to her and she told me it will be give to the attorney immediately. Im waiting on their reply, after explaining the situation to them. If this does not pan out, I will do something else some how to raise dough for this cause. Thought I feel the jerk complaining was doing it for alterior reasons and not out of concern for Midway's IP, he is right. I have to be clean and consistant. I will do something like I said if this does not pan out. Everyone start praying....(or crossing your fingers for you non-believers I guess...lol.) Who knows...perhaps i'll sick all of you on midway and have you guys start a letter writing campaign to let me go ahead with this...not just yet though, for all you trigger happy types. Gorf is now, truly, in Midways hands, and I have to say I already feel much better about contacting them. Do or die, I did what was right. I know other doors will open if this one closes. I am truly sorry for all of you that were looking foward to this if it does not pan out but I will do something in it's stead.

darthkur Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) Whoever this trouble maker is they are a sick, twisted and selfish individual. If there really is such a thing as karma then he's sure to get his due some day. Edited March 21, 2007 by darthkur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have important and major turns of events occur in a situation, it´s pretty much the the thing to do to start a new thread. That way you know the message gets out. I don´t understand why you have a problem with this. Edited March 21, 2007 by Palmer Eldritch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have important and major turns of events occur in a situation, it´s pretty much the the thing to do to start a new thread. That way you know the message gets out. I don´t understand why you have a problem with this. It's got NOTHING to do with Gorf or the amount of post...it has everything to do with me personally. Most who know our past know EXACTLY what I am talking about here. However, I do not wish to casue any trouble over this, as I am sure Albert would appreciate that, so let's ignore this pettiness...after all it was just an announcement to imform and I'd hate to see it turn to crap for no good reason.

Gorf Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) The other problem is these announements would not need to be made if it were not for people like yourself, Orion, with an axe to grind, for whatever reason.

Paolo Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Back on topic, maybe this whole thing is taking a good shape. You know, the need of contacting Midway ended up with you actually contacting them! Maybe this was the input you (we all) needed to sort this thing out.

Gorf Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) Well Ms. Blackwell sounded like it was not at all an unreasonable request but, who knows just exactly who she is in the company. I belive she is just an IP clerk, who actually goes and digs up IP info. She said she was handing it off to her attorney and urged me to get it to her before he left for a business trip. So that at least came across positive. Im sure this will delay things a while as I dont expect to here back from them anytime soon. Im sure the Midway attorneys haev a lot more stuff to research than my request to put out a title they probably dont even realize they own.

superjudge3 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 He's just bitching for the sake of bitching. Personnaly, I'm not going to buy Gorf because I don't have a CD player...but you don't see me whining about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorf Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Why troll? Why float all over the net to troll? There is so much more better things one can do to spend his time. Like write Jag games for instance. Mark Morrison of Midway contacted me via e-mail...we will talk today on the phone and discuss Gorf rights!!! Say some prayers!!! I will report the info as I am able on the usual forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
