Well, since you guys make it impossible to contact anyone important I ask if you could please forward this message onto a supervisor or manager!

 

In regards to your attempt at a Take Two hostile takeover to target T2 shareholders (I AM ONE):

 

That's complete and utter bullsh*t. As a shareholder I want NOTHING to do with EA in T2. You guys are the most bland cookie-cutter generic game designers, while some of your games are fun - none really bring anything to the table. Recycled characters and recycled game play and a depressing feel of 'sameness' between all your games. Get your hands out of T2's pockets, tons of shareholders are ready to sell their stocks the second you purchase T2, if you do at all. Myself included and every GTA fan who holds shares with T2.

 

Put your hands back in your pockets and stop taking Microsofts route. "Can't design anything half decent? Purchase it and make the money for it!"

 

Leeches.

Hi There,

 

Thanks for writing and sharing your concerns.

 

Every so often we get a frustrated player like yourself who thinks we've stacked the odds against them. Believe it or not, we play our own games, and know that you can see some pretty amazing dice rolls and card deals from time to time. However, despite what you may have heard or what you may suspect, our card deals and dice rolls are done completely at random. We don't do anything 'tricky' with the rolls or deals, and there are several reasons why we don't:

 

- It would be completely unfair

- It would require a TON of additional programming and code to make the dice rolls or card deals favor one person over another. We have to keep the games small so that they don't take forever to download in your browser. If we added this much code to the games, they would take MUCH longer to download.

- Pogo stands to gain nothing by giving an advantage to one player over another. We have systems completely unrelated to the deals and rolls that keep things fair for players of different ratings (the ratings calculations and the bully limiter).

- To be quite honest, we really don't care who wins a game of cribbage or backgammon, we just want to make sure the game applet is fair, and that's what we do.

 

If you add all those up, it just wouldn't make any sense for us to do anything but make the dice rolls and card deals as random and fair as we possibly can.

 

We do recognize that people playing on Pogo are going to see some dice rolls and card deals that normally are VERY rare. This is largely due to the astronomical number of games the average person on Pogo plays. Your average Backgammon player on Pogo plays several thousand games a year, whereas they would probably only play a few dozen Backgammon at home with their family or friends each year. If you play 2,000 games over the course of a year, the law of averages ensures that you're going to see rare occurrences more often than if you play a hundred or so games at home, just due to the fact that you're playing a lot more games.

 

Please know that I understand your frustration, and I just hope that this information will help you know that we're not 'out to get you' or anything like that. We do all we can to make the games operate fairly for everyone on the site.

 

If I can help you with anything else, please write back and let me know.

 

Sincerely,

 

Pogo Anthony

Customer Service Representative

 

Why the f*ck does he talk about unfair dice rolls and card deals from Pogo? suicidal.gif

 

What a motherf*cking retard. biggrin.gif

This guy is really f*cked in the head, why oh why would you sue a company for millions of dollars if you have shares in it, that's like suing yourself.

 

Okay, no it ain't and yeah, he probably made more money from the case than from his dividends but still, how retarded is this guy?

 

He's constatntly trying to get GTA banned and yet if it does, it will negatively impact on his shares, that just about proves how f*cked in the head he is.

 

I don't think anybody actually takes any notice of him anymore though, did you read the reply EA sent to him after he offered his help to them? They reminded him about the time he tried to sue them as well because the sims apparently porn.

The only reason he bought his shares is because he thinks it can make him look important and T2 listen to everything he says. Right. We all know it's because he despises the T2 CEO like the devil. He's on a crusade to run T2 in to the ground. I'd say the whole fiasco with Rockstar was completely unrelated to them, but because of who owns them. I hope EA doesn't get Take Two, not because of the quality of their games, but because it would give old Jacky pleasure.

I hopes it's Jack Thompsons ass that I am on.

I'm going to stay away from commenting on that post. It feels like a trap.

 

On topic: I personally think it'd be hilarious to watch Thompson balk under the angry glare of a room full of investors. This guy does nothing but raise a stink over everything that Take Two does, and it's obvious that he owns a tiny-itty-bitty-sh*tty piece of stock specifically for the purpose of pulling stunts like this. His "peers" at the meeting wouldn't exactly take kindly to him, methinks.

What has this man got against them? They're honest men and women who are working for their money and, at the same time, making people happy.

They're not scumbags, they're not Satanists and I'm damn sure they're not going to be responsible for the downfall of Western civilisation.

Thompson is living in a dream world if he believes that this issue is the most pressing dilema in America today. The fact is that it's not even an issue, people want games, people make games, people buy games. It's called "Capitalism" and I'll be damned if any twinkle-toed pinko piece of sh*t fresh from the bayou is going to try to gloss over his own Communist leanings by pretending to be concerned for the safety of children.

The man is a hack and most probably a filthy Red too.

I find it hilarious that he's a shareholder, but he tries to prevent game sales. He definitely has a screw loose.

Police buy drugs from drug dealers. How else will they learn about what they're doing

just to be sure..you ARE kidding right?

No, I am dead serious, he is a hero. I want his babies, he is a sexy devil.

GO JACK THOMPSON!

Saying you're gonna kill JT only makes his argument more powerful. We should all invite him over for a tea party and show him that GTA does not make people violent.

This is just stupid Jack is hated by both parties , Jack got a message from EA to leave them alone

 

EDIT: if he messes up GTA IV's release somebody is gonna kill him , IF EA takes over T2 then somebody will blow up EA's headquarters

Ahh god, I didn't read this earlier, my question: how in the living hell did Jack Thompson become a shareholder in TT? Seriously, a guy that prevents sales for videos games shouldn't be anywhere near that position... What is this world coming to? biggrin.gif

Whats wrong with Jack Thompson? He's a good man. A very decent one too, and you should all learn a lesson off him.

LOL you will be famous in the forums!!! in every sig.

 

 

OT: i have a feeling this meeting will be unusual...

 

btw why does JT try to stop GTA and not some brutal FPS game from EA?

This isn't such a big deal. He's likely just trying to eavesdrop on T2's plans.

 

But, assuming he has little shares, he won't have much of a say anyway.
