Hmmmm, shouldn't that be doth? Anyway, It's been a long time sinse I've heard from Sk8, developer in chief of dragonslayer, ---- actually some people besides myself are seriously wondering what's happened, especially as Sk8 hasn't been answering his e-mails.

While I certainly like the idea of being boweth down'ed to, I'm afraid you'll just have to wait and see, ---- but be certain that as soon as I here anything I'll let people know (assuming Sk8 or someone else doesn't first).

Hey dark, come one, you don't have to correct me, well, I am terrible at that, I was just being weird.

But, I guess I still will boweth down to who dutst, (that's how I say it dark) postetha linkage!

Ah, as I thought, thanks Arjan. If you have either a skype contact a recent e-mail address for him, both Archer and I would like a word if possible, but rather than posting his details on the forum, please e-mail me them if possible on dark at x g a m dot org (appolobies for the antispam, I've had recent spam issues with e-mail).

Ah, that's a shame, sinse the E-mail address which both Archer and I have for him doesn't seem to be working. If you run into him on Godwars 2 again, please pass the message along.

robin24,
I am from Germany as I said before in other topics. Why did you have to put down all site contents if only the Mario game was against german copyright? Besides who does know that you hosted this website and why were we not noticed of the issues from you? I remember that the mirror on your server was simply gone without a note about this. I don't want to offend you, I am simply curious about this going unnoticed.
For DSg itself: If my memory is inded correct, the last news update of DSG was back in August of 2007.
Bye,
Lord_Raven

I am German and the above statement is not true.  Maybe someone told you BS in order to scare you.

Hello... Um, I'm acutally not sure how to start this, so I basically won't even try.
Arjin was rcorrect in the fact that I have been crazily busy running cross country, wrestling, and now running track while throwing in radio, skateboarding, and community service. Oh I probably forgot to mention hanging out with friends, but this stuff is sort of irrelavent to you guys.
I deeply regret disappearing from this community as many people do. Back in August, I forget, but I believe I posted something saying that I had busy times coming up. Reguardless, the busy times have come and everything has been great, but I've missed working alongside and for many of you here in the ag community.
I'll start with contact issues: I received none of the said emails. Robin, LArcher, I ahve had no clue that you tried to contact me. Skype wise, I recently did a lot to my computer so I don't actually have skype installed, luckily I have my contacts back up. I'd love to have more time to chat with you guys, but for now, on here will be the easiest for me.
Reguarding the law, I don't believe that I should go too in depth on this forum, but I am shocked. I can maybe understand the Mario remake having issues, but elemental battle? Dragon warrior? Any of those minigames? That boggles me and I frankly think Robin was bullied, but you don't really mess with the law; I wish I was informed about this sooner.
Actually, lets jump back to the Mario thing, if there were such strong copyrights imposed on Mario, I don't believe themushroomkingdom.net would exist.
Any, games... I still have copies of all my work backed up, so that's wonderful if you remember the first DSG. Unfortunately, and this is why I haven't appeared in so long, I don't think DSG for the present can continue at the rate it did before... Okay, I'm really struggling with this, quick break.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, I didn't post between so long ago and now because I didn't want to implant false hopes. I am seriously considering working on some smaller projects, and I still have an almost finished Dangerous Waters on my harddrive that I'm not sure what to do with.
I've seriously been thinking about making some more games for leisure recently. Actually, me and my friend Taha(you don't know him, he's from my school) have been kicking around the idea of starting doing some work together. He, like most of my friends, is sighted, but unlike most of my friends, he knows how to program wi th some skill. If you can't see where this idea could go, it's a collaboration to make a game that blind and sighted can play. I'm not saying light up the news, this is just something we're kicking around, nothing official. We probably throw a some programs back and forth, see if we can come up with anything simple, then see where it goes.
So that's where I'm at in life... I just wish I knew where I was going with this post, but I don't, so I'll leave it open ended, or sort of. I guess I'm just curious how you all ahve been; I'll make a point of it to check back here.

Hi Jayde,

Please, could you not just think about the situation in the US? Jayde, what you say is true in the US. In the US, you can also set up an internet radio station and play the newest songs and that's OK as long as you don't make money with that. In Germany they will try to sue you, no matter if they can get money  or not.

That's one of the things they wanted to do.

A and B are out of question, I don't have webspace somewhere else and won't buy any jut for DSG. As for C, they told me not to send the files to anyone and I'm gonna be strict about that. Well, Jayde, I see you're a system admin, I'm sure you have some webspace. Why don't you host the site?
Robin

In order for German copyright law to apply, either the website, the source material, the producer, or any combination thereof must be German and thus subject to that country's copyright laws. If  any of these categories are noted, there is grounds for potential legal action or, at the very least, legal postulation...otherwise, it doesn't matter who you are, where you live, what you're doing or how open you are about it.

Permission having just been provided in writing to informally host or give out DSG software means that, if push came to shove, no one can even get a foot in the door. Robin, if your website is hosted in Germany, I suppose I understand your worry and was never trying to get in your face about anything; however, absolutely no one except the holder of a copyright can limit who spreads it...just bear that in mind. You gain nothing by adhering to the order that no software be distributed through channels to which you have access.

I may know a lot about this sort of thing, but I am not a system admin in any sense that would make your final point salient. I cannot host software in any way, though I am not necessarily against distributing it so long as the license-holder is okay with the idea. All that having been said, I haven't meant to cause tension, I'm not upset, and I'm not trying to either make anyone look stupid or cause any unrest.
