Fangame sellers strikes back!

Err... Didint think it would go this far...

Well, This was the funnyist hoax I've ever created, infact the only one I've really pulled off. Thanks for really taking this seriously - I don't appretiate it.

Yes, Its ture. This was rather an idea when I was A young one, always wanting to promote other peoples games. But not for cash.

But, in any case, I came up with this funny little joke for the Sonic community that I would pull off and get everyone beleaving I was really gonna sell other peoples work. And guess what - it worked.

I spent A good day and a half pulling this togeather, I made it rather crappy, yes, but still good enough to pull this off. Than, got A crappy Installation program from ClickTeam and imported this into Gamemaker. And lastly, to finish the job, upload the video on Youtube. Now, this didint get anywere on the first few days, but than - tons of Flame mail. My funny little joke worked. And now, I have 2 flame PMs, and 20 - 25 messages on the video of flaming mail. How 'bout that.

So, now that the joke is over, I'm (atleast gonna try) to take the video off of Youtube. Hope you enjoyed my little gag!

P.S. Just so you know, the original intent (when I was young) was to get credit from all the creators and sell the disk only as much as it seemed it should be. A.K.A. Case + Program + Image = expence.

EDIT: Say goodbye, the Video's gone now.

I don't believe this was a joke. I believe that you are an idiot, and that you got caught. Finding out that emails were sent to Sega and stuff probably made you shit yourself, which triggered the whole "Uh... uh... I-i-it was a joke you guys! Heh heh heh..." thing.

In the immortal words of Mr. Deeds (played by Adam Sandler)

b-b-b-bullshit.

Note: People here know cover-ups when they see them. We've all tried to make imitation code red before by mixing Cherry Juice and regular Mountain dew. It doesn't work and neither will this.

Why won't anyone forgive me, I never ment any harm to anyone (exept maybe some people feel rather angry) and I never sold any copys of this, thus I didint actully DO anything illigal.

Right now I'm pritty much in A meltdown. Everyone denys my joke. No one will allow me to talk to them. I bet Im on my way to ban - hod here, too.

I'm really sorry if I affended anyone. Like I said before, I never ment to cause so much chaos. I know I should be punished, But being the ametur I am, I didint know what I was getting into.

And, if this is my last post entry...

Many of you may conseder me stupid, idiotic, anything else that comes to mind. But hey, we all got our weaknesses. Thats why most of us work as A team to accomplish something. But you must know that were I live, in this pitiful town, Me, and my friend Progames are the only 2 in our mittle school district who know programming. (No, I don't mean I know alot, but I know more than many do.) And my artistic skills, although mot very good compared to many others, is consedered very good at my district. Lastly, If I have to end of Forums, websites, etc. Than my life will be totaly ruined. I spend my LIFE learning, working, and reading on the computer, or otherwise Drawing.

I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am. And I just can't say anymore. I just can't think right now. So.. I guess Ill finish the entry.

No shit that you and your friend are the only programmers in your "mittle" school. Not many people under the age of 15 care to learn programming. Consider yourself special, not handicapped.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for you because you live in a small "pitiful" town? So do I.

If I have to end of Forums, websites, etc. Than my life will be totaly ruined. I spend my LIFE learning, working, and reading on the computer, or otherwise Drawing.

A+ lawl material.

Offering to sell something illegally is illegal. Even if you didn't sell it yet. It really sounds like this is a cop-out to get your ass saved, but it may be too late. I already emailed Sega of America this afternoon. Let's see how much trouble you get in.

Whether or not you were really joking, you shouldn't joke around about something as dangerously illegal as this. Hope you've learned your lesson.

So I see you removed your video. Shame I didn't give Sega of America any other means of contacting you. I would send them another email with your email address, but it seems kind of pointless now that the video's gone anyway.

Shall I ban him indefinitely? Any objections?

....

I said when it would come out it would be $10.00, I didint say It was currently being offered.

Wow. now my life it totaly ruined. As soon as my parents find out... well... you get the point.

Spike: You must have an attitude problem. I've said how sorry I am. I can't do anything to change what Ive done. I didint mean to cause this.

And no, its not "Bullshit" that were the only 2 programmers in our district. We have A fairly small district that gos up to 8th grade in middle school. Some people have interest in it, but they don't know were to start, or what to use. I can name afew others familiar with gamemaker, it it was "too hard" to work with. Although, I can't say the same thing about high school. There may be more people there with intrest than middle. And, just as some quick info, I live in A small town in Origon.

You were still advertising it. That's still illegal.

And your parents may not necessarily find out, I don't even know if Sega will do anything now that the video's gone.

WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND STORY, MYGAMES!? NOBODY!!! IT'S THE INTERNET!!! REAL LIFE DOES NOT APPLY IN THIS SITUATION!!!

Yay!

We don't JOKE around about selling stuff illegally. We don't even TALK about distributing stuff illegally. We don't take kindly to warez, fangame sales, you name it.

Rael...time to step into action. Drop the hammer.

Relax. Nothing is going to happen to you on the legal side of things. There really was no crime committed (just plans discussed, which isn't a criminal act) and frankly, pirates get away with it all the time. Its not like we have your home address or anything like that either.

But let all this fear be a lesson to you... people don't like their work being stolen, less so at a profit. People also don't like cover-ups, which believe me, we can tell exactly what this is.

As for my vote...

Ban until he grows some testicles, and with them, hopefully a brain. 2 Years.

But that will never happen if he drinks any kind of soda which uses primarily yellow 5 instead of red 40.
