I see Derek is making friends again.

" Let me assure you of one thing that you can go to sleep with tonite. I
have FULL intentions of getting this license. If I DO get it, you and your
teenny leetle friends on your Ferrous Oxide project, are effectively,
shutdown because I don't piss around when it comes to IP properties. You
would do well to ask around. I've sued publishers for less and I have
attorneys around the world, literally on speed dial "

No doubt. He's a master at creating amusing online flamewar games.

This is a perfect example of history repeating itself. DS did almost the
exact same thing a couple of years ago. He wanted to get the license to
Falcon 4 (hard core jet sim) and make a sequel or "gold version". If you
insert the words "Falcon 4 gold" in place of FS3, you will get a replay of
history. He does this only to draw attention to himself. I seriously doubt
this will ever come to fruition.

Blah....blah....blah. DS just likes to read his own posts. He will never get
the FS license. Look how long it has taken him to finally get his own game
to a respectable level. Does anyone really think that they will sell a
license to a fairly successful franchise to a person that doesn't even pay
some of his "employees" and has taken 6 years to finally complete a mediocre
game?

I can't believe anyone actually believes he is going to buy the FS
license. I'll bet money he doesn't . Any takers ? I'll even bet DS if
he's got the guts.

And even if he did then FS3 would just be BCM with a new box.

Mr. Smart has proclaimed in the past that he started working on BC3K since
1988-1989. The hyphenated range is Derek's statement not mine. This was the
story anyway that was forced to be distributed with the freeware version of
his game. (which was almost identical to BC3K 2.0)

So bp is close to right but 15-16 is closer to what the pathological liar
said so that means that in reality it could be 9 - 18 years due to the
warping effect that reality suffers whenever any statement is made by the
Taco Supreme Commander.

My apologies. It was late and I was tired. I wonder why my spell check
didn't catch it? I did spell F**K correctly I think. Damn Xan, everytime I
read one of his posts it must kill off some of my brain cells.

Since you had such a good reason then, of course, all will be forgiven and
forgotten.

P.S. When do you want to collect on your "hugs and kisses"?

"You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand, there's no turning back.

The bugle sounds, the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As we plunge on into certain death.

ohhhhhh ohhhhhh!

The horse he sweats with fear, we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall

We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near, yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day.

ohhhhh ohhhhhh!

We get so close, near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below.

And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan"

Usually it's only a trickle of emails each month that are generated by
http://follies.werewolves.org/

The last few days it's been an avalanche. I'm sure it must be the Freespace
stunt that Derek pulled. If you do a Google on Derek Smart the first two
entries are the above site but, I suspect that most of the visits are due to
people providing links. I'm going to have to put a visit counter back on
the site.

Don't be too sure -- I've never been tested, but my wife seems pretty
certain that my IQ is an irrational number.
