“What we’ve got here is…failure to communicate. Some men you just can’t reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it…well, he gets it. I don’t like it any more than you men.” — Captain, Road Prison 36 from Cool Hand Luke
Note: This is the only published portion of Part IV I wrote. The full article is available in the unknownplayer.com archives.
Also in a phone conversation with Forest Parker AKA Stryder, Sunday night, Forest admits to still using the @everlore.com e-mail address to get into betas and get gaming information from companies. Huh?? Isn’t beta where people find lots of bugs?
If Everlore, CamelotExchange and Obsidian are all the same people, then what does this mean for the gaming community at large? Even if it’s only that Stryder and Forest work(ed) for both, how could someone involved with a legitimate site condone the actions of exploiters by working with them and providing e-mail and other services or information?

Many thanks to Unknown Player who popped this onto my IM. According to Anarchy Oline, BlackSnow (for brevity’s sake, hereinafter referred to as “BS”) issued a press release sometime yesterday. This one sez “OK gang, we’re really thinking harder about suing them because they said we were banz0rd when we weren’t.”
Think I’m kidding?

Recess is now over. Follow your line leaders back to class.
We received an email from Adam Young of Funcom. Yes, THE Adam Young. It’s a rebuttal and a “my side of the story” type of thing.

There’s been a small shitstorm, and we’ve got some news to tell.
According to this article from pc.ign.com, full-time farmers BlackSnow Interactive have threatened to sue FunCom to get back 22 banned BlackSnow accounts that had been banned because they were suspected of using exploits.
The IGN article would have you believe this is The Man coming down on the enterprising young people.
From what our sources say…BlackSnow is blowing smoke up collective rears.
