El Sitherino Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Alright. So warez have been out for a bit now. I saw a thread in one of the clan threads that I suspect might be warez. I'm not all that sure though. Just a heads up though. *edit* Kurgan got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 You're absolutely right. The link you sent me proves it: http://s6.isohunt.com/torrents.php?ihq=republic+commando&ext=&op=and (PS: Most of those links are down, but if anyone feels like reporting this site to LucasArts, feel free. I'm sure they'd appreciate the help!). I didn't find the date it was "released" but it's definately out now. I've started the policy we used for JA. If people make us suspect they have warez, we give them a 24 hour ultimatum. Prove it or be banned. If somehow an "innocent" person gets banned, they can always provide proof later and be unbanned. People asking for CD keys, cracks, etc will be warned. Of course CD cracks may be used by non warezers of course, but they aren't allowed to discuss or beg for such things on our forums. If a person has a problem with a cd crack, we tell them "well try not using the unsupported crack" and that's that. I warned Phirestorm already. Let's keep a record of who we warn. I would kind of prefer it if Mods/Supermods didn't issue the ultimatums. An admin can make the call, so if you find the evidence, post it here in private and we'll make a case, then the admins will enforce it. Ok? We COULD just ban people we suspect of warez, but this is much more fair. It gives people we're suspicious off to prove they're legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 Originally posted by PhireStorm First of all, whats WAREZ? i'm taking it as piracy. I DID NOT GET THIS GAME ILLEGALLY. WHY WOULD I POST IF I GOT MY GAME ILLAGALLY< huh? I AM ONLY 15, I dont even know HOW to get it illegally, i dont even know anybody who can steal it for me. I dont like of being acused of something i didnt do. I didnt post to be bombarded with accusations! I threw out my recepeipt, it weas a gift from my parents, so i will see if i can use their camera, i dont have one. Originally posted by PhireStorm My parents are being really resistant about the camera, since i erased some memory last time, but it was their fault. I can keep trying, but dont remove me from lucas forums. plz dont. Yes, i know what kazzaa and limewire is, but i never knew you could download big files, such as games. All i have is the fact that my parents got it for me at ebgames, gave me the recept, and i tossed it as soon as single player worked. plz believe me, I dont want to be banned out of suspicion. Originally posted by PhireStorm My parents are too cheap to, besides i got it at Best Buy. This week went to hell for me. Game dont work, no more receipt accusations (Kurgan, *frustrated look*), and now I cant find my mom wont let me give me her camera Originally posted by PhireStorm Oh ****, this doesnt help me. I am telling the truth. We went to EBgames first, but left cus it was to full of ppl, so we went to Bestbuy. btw, i am reinstalling the game with a new key I know you wont believe me, will ban me, and do whatever you will do. I cant stop that. This new key will work, i just hope i can put up post of future Star Wars games... Seems he's a pirater to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Reinstalling with a "new key"? Ok either: 1) He contacted LucasArts, got a new key, and didn't tell us about it. Unlikely since he's made such a big deal about every single thing he's supposedly tried, and he opened with his claim that he threw away the reciept that his parent's got with the game they bought for him (people throw away receipts all the time, that's possible, and not every store has a policy like Best Buy where they will replace the item with an identical one even without a reciept within a short period of time). 2) He bought a brand new copy of the game. Might be possible. He claimed his parents took away his previous copy. 3) He warezed the game and simple got himself another CD key off a pirate site. However, the "problems" he complained about shouldn't be fixed by him simply getting a new pirated CD key. He'd have to keep getting new ones as the old ones are cancelled by LA, meaning he'd be smart not to complain here to us. I told him what he needed to do if he really had a problem. He showed us a picture of the game (didn't email it to me, he just posted it on a site). True, he could have easily grabbed it off ebay or somesuch, but I figured at least he'd shut up for awhile. His claim to be 15 and thus not "in the know" I agree is pure BS. Plenty of people that age know all about the scene, and in fact it's probably the majority of folks in it. His claim that he knows about those services but not about "big files" on it, might be true. There are a lot of clueless computer users out there. But it's purely his word. He was clueless asking for tech support about something we couldn't help him with in the first place. Watch him, and if he pulls anything like this again, he's out.
