Negotiation with AC

[Victor]

He or she writes again:

Hello again, Victor

i remooved a gross porshion of you're messudge(it was to long( - hear are the mane points! answered too the best off my abilty...

1. Respond with the full description of why you dislike this mod
As a development team, we don't dislike the mod. On a personal level, I haven't played it, but it looks too 'busy' for me; I have simple tastes.
2. Cease to mislead your users with false allegations of copyright infringement
3. Not waste time trying to hide our name, AssaultCube Reloaded
I've lumped 2. and 3. together, as they're covered by the same catch-all. When users register on the AC forums they're presented with a "Registration Agreement" which contains the following:
"You agree that we have the ability and right to remove, edit, or lock any account or message at any time should it be seen fit."
4. Notify us of any copyright issues that we may have missed (probably not)
I don't know anything about any copyright issues. Someone told me some of the sounds come from another game, but I don't play anything else, so I wouldn't know. Someone else pointed out to me that you've repackaged the game under a different licence from that stipulated by the Cube engine licence. As I've said, I'm not a coder and I have no legal expertise; it's just something I read.

I hope you have fun reading this. I made some mistakes, just for you to correct, because I can tell you have too much time on your hands.

Say 'hi' to all your friends and family for me

All my love

In all seriousness, Victor, I'm concerned for you. I hope you can get some professional help. The issue we have is with *you*, not your game. You first appeared on our radar as a cheat, and your personality went downhill from there. You're trying to force ACR upon a community by using that community's official game forum; of course it's going to put our backs up. You correct grammar in an email, for heavens' sake! Don't you stop to think for a second about what a douchebage you must appear? I realise you're not going to take the blindest bit of notice of me, but that doesn't stop me hoping. Take care.

This is my reply:

To whom it may concern: (it's the same gender-neutral salutation [that] I use)

Good grammar is important. To prove this, I will, starting with this sentence, use a combination of incorrect grammar and archaic grammar. Notice you the incorrect usage of will in the last sentence? It should be an "shall". Correcting your grammar doesn't help I, but this showeth why thou shouldest use proper grammar.

Me does value thy feedback. This games (ACR) might is a little too "busy", so me shoulds works on that.

Me have attached file ("googleac.png", which mean either "Google Auto Complete" or "Google 'AssaultCube'", whichever thou decidest) which (instead of that) proves thou are wasting time to hide (instead the of gerund hiding) ours name. Perhaps that will be after thou leavest AC, and it wouldn't matter to thee anyways.

The licence for AC's code are allowed to be changed, since it am the Cube Licence. Since the Cube Licence's 4th clause only apply to Cube, it does not applies to AssaultCubes code, which allows I to change the codes' licence to an GPL. The /packages directories get distributed under the original licences.

After to read (reading) your post scriptum, methinks that if me transfer ACR to another dev, you has no problems with it. Since me are going to leave eventually, thou wilt have zero problems with it on the future.

The improper grammar does end here, in this sentence. If you have had trouble interpreting any of the above--even though it has hints, please request a proper Modern English translation from me.

My policy is to not cheat on games that I created. This policy does not extend to games that I have not created. If you have a former cheater, you should recognize that persons can change. They can stop cheating, like me, who am no longer playing/cheating AssaultCube.

Best Regards,
Victor

P.S. I am noticing you and am not going to take the blindest bit of notice of you, since I am not the most blind.
