Challenge accepted. I will parkour into some constructive debate with you since it seems that is the only fuel you seem to be running on right now. Why? Because I'm in a good mood -- I just quit my job.
This will be fun. Get your popcorns ready fellas.
1. You are running assist illegally, the project is illegal and you can hate me for saying that, I have been in RM board for a while to know that.
You can throw the word illegal as many times as you would like and that still won't make Assist illegal. If this case were to go to court, we'd be at most charged on any conventional manners by the unauthorised distribution of America's Army 2.5...which would become void as soon as previous Developers and the respective authorised owner/stature expressed their consent for such actions.
Illegal no more.
2. You implemented features to the game illegally, you have made your ''own'' rules illegally since it's not your game. Where do I stop?
No features have been implemented to the game that weren't already in the AA2 franchise (the SAI, for instance, was ripped off from 2.8.5 so technically it already belonged to the game). Any other features you may take notice of have not been implemented directly into AA as we simply do not have access to the source code of the game.
Furthermore, no rules have been created in regards to the usage of the game itself -- all the rules we have created and currently enforce are directly connected to Assist and its subsequent derivatives such as the forum, shoutbox and the likes. We own all of these. Simple as that.
3. You are planning to ''force'' use to ban us from shoutboox. You have made bunch of rules on your ''own''.
We are not forcing anything onto you. We do not force you to be active on
our shoutbox, we do not force you to disrespect others and we do not force you to complain once you've failed to adhere to the ToS to which you agreed to upon registration.
Also, force (as a means and not per-concept) is only applicable either in RL or through reverse psychology --none of which we currently possess the tools, desire, liberty or interest in practising.
4. If you saying freedom of expression, opinion or speech doesn't exist on internet so that means rules and any other ''legit'' stuff doesn't exist since it's internet.
Freedom of expression, opinion or speech (they're all different kinds and entail different concepts within, henceforth rendering your argument fallacious from the get-go) all depends on social contexts, norms, conceptions and ultimately an opposing regime/utopia.
The internet sadly offers none of the aforementioned nor are its various conceptualisations consensual at best. It is therefore impractical to demand any such civilised right unless any one structure has been created to reflect the aforementioned values and contextualising items...which Assist has and does to this day.
5. 6. (I can put more bullet points how my freedom of speech is protected, how I can criticise the system of form and so on, don't start throwing your fucking rules that are not legit.
Some clarification is in order:
The most basic component of freedom of expression is the right of freedom of speech. The right to freedom of speech allows individuals to express themselves without interference or constraint by the government. The Supreme Court requires the government to provide substantial justification for the interference with the right of free speech where it attempts to regulate the content of the speech. A less stringent test is applied for content-neutral legislation. The Supreme Court has also recognized that the government may prohibit some speech that may cause a breach of the peace or cause violence.
Your bullet points where coherent, your argumentative skills are stable and very pro-keen (perhaps too much?!) on the defence of your truth --one you evidently believe to be final-- you just missed the point and its veracity entirely though.
7. Every country has it's own rules, it's own protection of speech, think about where you live and have a read about it.
Assist is hosted in America. Assist was created in America. Assist abides by the American Law. America's Army is a trademark from America. No matter where you look, left or right, America will always pop up --it's almost scary! We euros need to retaliate! Let's unite comrades!-- therefore it is only natural we operate by the American Law.
8. If someone can't handle what I say, they can call a layer and I would still win.
Let me be honest -- you speak too high of yourself. In fact, your facades are becoming increasingly contrasting. First you were no-one and badly even wrote English, then you became a RM (you were quite helpful back then, I have to add. I'd know, I was the one that added you onto the boards and hand-picked you!), then you went shenanigans on the game and community and now you act like the all-knowing all-mighty hotshot. It's confusing to say the least.
I want you to understand this; I desire no malice towards you. In fact, the only thing I desire is that you may live a happy and prosperous life. Being humble often helps achieving a middle-term between the two and getting ready to take that big leap. Why is it that you can't seem to come to terms with this?!
9. You throwing your ''strong basis, I will throw them back, like I told you, I know what I am legit to do or not and I know what you can do or not since In talk to all (admin team that runs this game).
Off we go again:
legit - legitimate
adjective
1. according to law; lawful:
2. in accordance with established rules, principles, or standards.
4. in accordance with the laws of reasoning; logically inferable; logical:
In accordance to law, your recent attitude towards this community could be treated/considered harassment. Legit = Negative.
In accordance to established rules, principles, standards (we established ours), you're a far-cry from anything legit-related.
In accordance with the laws of reasoning; logically inferable -- I haven't seen a coherent proof-guided argumentation from you. Just a bunch of stuff picked out of nowhere with no real co-relation bundled together to form this impenetrable opinion of yours.
10. Your own rules and TOS does not stand above the law.
Precisely. And you don't stand above our ToS, simple as that. If you don't like our ToS, don't use Assist. You can still play America's Army manually without the interference of a third-party such as ourselves. Otherwise, yes, you need to follow our ToS especially given our ToS replicates the American Law.
11. Internet is virtual life and should not be taken seriously, this is not physical attack by any means nor I integrate with anyone here.
Not being physical does not mean it isn't personal. Internet isn't virtual-life either. If anything it is the virtual expression of very true and real life personalities and emotions alike. That the internet shouldn't be taken seriously is yet another drawn-from-god-knows-where conclusion just there to strengthen your un-strenghtable set of arguments.
Think about what you are doing ''legit'' and what you are doing now to prevent us from saying whatever we want.
I have. We have. We've discussed endlessly about it and even looked for help. Maybe it is you who needs to think the extension of your self-proclaimed legitimateness. To conclude, we're not preventing you to say what you want. We're preventing you from saying stuff that might get you to violate our ToS and therefore American Law. We're being your friends here -- it is only you who don't seem to understand this.
...And that's that! Phew, that took some time, eh? If I may, a little advice; It may be wise to not misjudge/pre-judge others by what you've seen, figured to know or conclude to be certain of.
