The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Commissioning Question
|
on: 2007 June 29, 14:31:47
|
Just work on the Sims 2 content for free! Every real fan does! As you said, the gratitude they give you makes you happy. Money can't make you truely happy. This is why the world has charities. People feel happy as they made an impact on other people's lives through charity work. Consider your work to be about the same, minus the impact of course, charity is second to NOTHING. Why not get a job first, if you can make a decent income, you could spend your weekends relaxing and designing some Sims 2 content. Just please, DON'T quit! I hate to see you go, as I respect every Sims 2 custom content designer, with the exceptions of paysite creators.
Lemme tell you a little story, cos I'm bored. I'm not sure if its true, but I'll go on. Mersenne primes is a number which is a power of two (two multiplied by itself) with 1 subtracted from it. When the inventor of Mersenne primes, Father Mersenne, was still alive, he declared 2^67 -1 as a Mersenne prime. (thats 2 times itself 67 times, or 1.47573953 * 10^20. The full number would be 147573953000000000000. Can you imagine after subtracting 1, anyone would bother actually figuring it out?) His word was treated as the truth until a mathematician, Dr. Cole, who spent, as quoted "5 years of sundays" working out the 2 numbers that multiplied to form 1.47573953 * 10^20 - 1. What this story is trying to say is that you should consider only taking such a massive undertaking of juggling work and the Sims 2 custom content making over a long period of time. Look at Cole, and see the results of his hard work?
(PS. This was quoted from the book "Murderous Maths, Numbers the key to the Universe. I frankly doubt the story due to Dr. Cole's full name, Frank N Cole, bearing similarity to frank and cold, which is a good description on how he was depicted.)

The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Still there but helpless...

tenkyow! Well, my files in TSR are deleted. And? Im thinking of new ways to destroy them... Could you guys help? Im bleeding... Replace them with heads of Egyptian Thomas, and make him wear a "I love Atwa" shirt. You can alternatively replace them with "Atwa" and "I had sex with Thomas and all I got was the FA job and this lousy T-shirt." caption on it. Make fun of all the FAs and SAs on TSR you don't like on the shirts. Don't forget to advertise MTS2, PMBD and other freesites on your creations! And include readmes that denounce TSR. Easiest way to get them off the server and your account too.

Next time, warn before placing links to dirty images. I WILL KILL THE SON OF A BITCH WHO POSTS AN IMAGE OF GOATSE, TUBGIRL OR WHATEVER HERE! I swear that I will find your house, tie you up, burn your chilluns and feed you their flesh, cut out your ear, your penis/clitoris, I will GOATSE YOUR ASS and cut out your tongue, then I'll stuff a stick of dynamite up your ass and RUN! *rants* Luckily, I'm not stupid enough to click on any links you people post without the words "Sims" or with the words goatse, tubgirl, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_sites for sites you should avoid, or go if you're a sick pervert, a goddamn sadist, or wanting to preserve your eyes.

The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Question

I'm tired just sitting down and complaining and biding our time till EA does legal proceedings. Or maybe they're too busy with Spore to actually sue. *lots of hope* Or maybe not *downs rum in sorrow* I just can't stand the paysites, especially the stuff they make don't even work properly sometimes, or are just ugly. How could PEOPLE PAY for that stuff? And Jojo, heres some crap you might want to know about your pro-paysite stand. (Pardon me if you changed your stance) *Paysites have never started an open campaign to eradicate us. (Reason? Doing so would make publicity to us.) *Any mention of PMBD on any paysite will most likely get your ass banned (For "advertising") *What Lorelei said (excellent job on that *thumbs up*) *Paysites have only sent cease and desist letters to us, and not many of them do.(2 possible reasons. 1. We could find out where they were and dig up more dirt about them. Then, in the middle of the night, we would send pirates to capture them and make them walk the plank. 2. They know it won't work.) What does this show, paysites KNOW they are in the wrong, but they refuse to stop it, because they don't believe EA would sue them. But I worry... what happens if TSR, Peggy and others PAID EA so that they would turn a closed eye to them. *sweat sweat sweat* :shock: I need reassurance. :cry:

Well, you cannot find Carla's stuff on SFV, so I guess s/h/it does not have very many subscribers.
And it seems that Cardrew itself is not sure wether s/h/it is male, female or inbetween, so we just call it s/h/it. Why do I see that you're trying to call CN a piece of sh*t? Not that I like that *****.

the thing is, for EA/Maxis to sue paysites, they would be spending megabucks to do so. there are many paysites out there as we all know, and the people running them and illegally selling copyrighted stuff are in many different countries. to clamp down on them would push operating costs up, which would be reflected in the retail cost of future software.
if we give EA/Maxis a list of the criminals concerned, the people's names, company names, postal addresses, physical locations and so on, it might assist them, they might send out a warning letter (cease and desist type thing?) but they might well choose not to do anything. Consider this for Maxis as an investment, they recoup their loses and gain the loyalty of the fanbase, or they lose $$ but still gain the loyalty of the fanbase. When one of the paysite giants lose the suit, others might chicken out in the line and leave it voluntarily. Kinda like dominos. Also, cease and desist letters never work for this type. Enact legal proceedings, and the paysites will definitely not resist, with the odds stacked against them.

The Pirate Ship / ARR! / TSR IS A SUCK-ASS SUCKY WEBSITE

Dammit! I missed the fun! Did the troll leave for TSR? I wanted to pet a real-life troll, instead of watching others do it? DAMMIT! Worse of all, I can't find a good troll image (the troll in the first Harry Potter movie) to make a macro of! Does Thomas actually do anything at TSR other than promote the Atwas of the world to FA and sit back and watch the money roll in? It seems like all the grunt work is done by his underlings. It seems when people have problems, that it's Tug or one Thomas's other servants who help. Like in the site information forum. Thomas just starts the threads and rarely answers the myriad of questions the barrage him after his initial post. Thomas HAS to do some work. In which company does the president not do the least bit of work? He would probably make all the big decisions like who to promote and who to demote, who to ban, major management decisions and etc. If he doesn't do any work, we would be complaining about some other paysite manager instead of Thomas, right? Yep certainly, now what would you like to call this creature? Maybe ogre comes to mind On what to call the troll, I think we can call it a half-troll. It has half a brain at the most, I'll say. I could have elaborated at his stance, but I don't wanna be as badly treated as the half-troll was. :oops: :oops: And by the way, if you don't want to hear what I'll say, just say no. I'll keep my newbish mouth shut. :wink:

LMAO :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
But... couldn't you linked the penis image somewhere. I didn't like the underwear round it, made me think of BDSM. :shock: :shock: You wanna know about mine? Its kinda embarrassing :oops: :oops: and worse of all, I can't use the male urinals properly :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
Should I have said that? Its shorter than an ant with stunted growth. 3 inches max at the age of 14.(or maybe even lesser than that)
:cry: :cry: I have no idea whether its normal or not. Can I cry? :cry: :cry: Maybe reading some conspiracy theories on Pescado would cheer me up.

The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Top 10 worst Paysites since TS1 days
|
on: 2007 June 22, 14:55:04
|
1. Carla Niven (GET A BETTER SITE DESIGNER! And wth!?! I can buy 10 gallons of rum with the amount I can use to pay for everything on that site!) 2. PeggySims2 (Too many images. No wonder she needs that much cash for bandwidth) 3. TheSimsResource (I'm not a creator, though I would love to be, but I'm dedicating my time to another game and I've got school, but so many people have been victims of the corrupt policies of Thomas and they're so desperate to keep pay that they're promoting all the crap artists to the FA status, like atwa, how can I NOT HATE TSR? Actually, I hate the country where I genetically came from, cause its a commie state. How do I cause more bandwidth usage for TSR anyway, free of foul play?)

Here's an incentive for them to sue. $$$. :lol: Who doesn't like $$? It can buy rum! I don't think EA will ever directly go after paysites. They'd lose some of their Sims fan base, and they really don't wanna do that. I do believe though, that they will continue to issue statements and keep the exchange open. That way they don't alienate any of the fans and they still make their stance on paysites quite clear. That IS an excellent way of losing some fans. Tommy, Atwa, LyricLee and others aren't what I really call fans, I'll call them...... hold on.... lemme search through the dictionary.. dolts. Maybe some sheep will cry at EA for bringing down TSR, GlamourSims, Carla Niven, but then the stuff not submitted will (mostly, unless those driven by money quit their creative works) definitely be submitted to those fansites like MTS2 and others, I see absolutely no reason why EA should just take a passive-aggressive stance on an issue pissing off the entire fan community for several years. Nothing is lost and $$ is gained. I suppose the money they earn could feed off the lawyer's fees, and once they show the EULA, its pretty much a walkover, even if they bring up the bandwidth arguement(charging for bandwidth), our site can testify to counter that. Unless its... a conspiracy! *swigs rum to weed off unwanted thought*

The Pirate Ship / ARR! / What do Paysite owners spend all that money on?
|
on: 2007 June 21, 11:47:17
|
Gossip, gossip, gossip. I just love them, even if they're made up. Maybe Tommy and Nit-nit spend it all on drugs! They seriously must be high to think their site and stuff are good. :lol: I bet Carla Niven spends it all on sex-ASSIGNMENT surgery. (note difference between sex-REassignment surgery and sex-ASSIGNMENT surgery) After bandwidth costs, what do you think they do with all that extra green? You think they ACTUALLY would spend any cash from those "donations" and sales on bandwidth costs? :shock: Of course they have to spend, but the cash ain't coming out from them or their "donators" and customers, I bet it comes from their mom.

Its horrible! I... don't WANT TO... no... my eyes... they're... BURNING... *puts it out with rum* Aw... anyone got more rum? Please? :cry: The faces of every sim used, it looks like they're puckering up to a kiss for Carla Niven! *horrible graphic image* So... is CN a guy or a girl? The picture used in the Staff picture looks like some woman with male features in her face. Just looks like it. Have a look. Does ANYONE (besides the subs in PMBD) pay for that load of crap? Just tell me no, I need my sleep, I don't want to spend all night trying to calculate the IQ of those who do. (No offense to retarded people)
