no, actually I don't trust you. No offence, but I don't know you from jack, and we have exactly one thing in common - we want to see CoH live again. But other than that I don't know anything about you, or the (non)team that put this effort together.
If you had been paying attention, I not only stated numerous times that I am author Mercedes Lackey, I actually PROVED it back when I first signed on to Save Paragon three months ago by quoting from one of my books not yet published (was published last month). Clearly you have not been paying attention.
- and that's not to mention the whole Hail Mary bollocks! Why are we giving this some religious mumbo jumbo cloak? That in itself is entirely objectionable!
I see, forgive me for assuming that a Brit might possibly have some understanding of an American football term. Oh, Wait, Ammon, Quinch and Rae are all Brits and they knew what I was talking about....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hail_Mary_pass "A Hail Mary pass or Hail Mary route in American football refers to any very long forward pass made in desperation with only a small chance of success, especially at or near the end of a half.
The expression goes back at least to the 1930s, being used publicly in that decade by two former members of Notre Dame's Four Horsemen, Elmer Layden and Jim Crowley. Originally meaning any sort of desperation play, a "Hail Mary" gradually came to denote a long, low-probability pass."
Here's a challenge: You want me to buy in to this - then post a redacted version of this 31 page document that excludes confidential information. Let me make an informed decision about how I proceed. If you don't, I call bullshit. Sorry but that's how I see it.
No.
For two reasons.
One, I am not willing to take the chance that somehow, NCSoft will manage to connect something we wrote to our sources and proceed to sue them. They don't deserve that.
Two, Disney is traditionally extremely secretive about all aspects of negotiation.
Even though we have made it clear that we are only four players pitching the idea of buying the game, and not those with whom they can negotiate anything, nevertheless, I am not willing to risk getting the whole pitch on their wrong side by making it public.
Now what I don't understand is, if you are really, truly, interested in seeing the game find a new home, why are you having enormous tantrum ragefits over all this? Are we asking you for money? No. Are we asking you to endorse the pitch itself? Actually, no, not really.
I'm sorry, but I call bullshit here. You could very easily have quietly not written letters instead of demanding things you have no right to and having tantrums because we said no.
