Quote from: OldBloke;402057I still see PACT as the best fit as things stand. A division-based alliance might suit us better when game mechanics are better known but for now I like the idea that we can call upon much larger orgs to aid in our endeavourrs.
Yep, completely agree.

Document is 'view only' for me (no 'Suggesting'). I've requested the ability to edit.

PACT application submitted via email.   Pdf of the application is attached and the above google docs link is the original document.  Careful wording has been used in places to make sure it aligns with their policies, so be aware!

Thanks!  Oldie helped me tidy it up last night and finalise it, so I'll share the credit!   :biggrin:

PACT app is on hold whilst they sort out this unbelievable situation!

QuoteGood morning, Tealeaf.

I will preface this with an apology - what I'm going to say is somewhat stupid.

PACT was sent a copyright claim over the weekend while I was working my event.  The individual in question proposed our logo and the original text of the Treaty almost three years ago.  His organization left PACT two years ago and he hadn't been heard of since - we, of course, carried on regardless.

Since Star Citizen is a game (or so we keep telling ourselves) our Treaty is technically an artistic work of fiction.  We felt it best to simply remove all of this individual's contributions so that we don't have to deal with him any longer.

We'll be re-writing the Treaty over the next week or so.  Functionally it will not change - in fact, it will better explain who we are and how we work, as we won't be bound to the old format.  I would still recommend that DMW temporarily holds their application until you read the new version.  I think that you will be happy with it, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

In the meantime, I've taken down the old version of the Treaty.  I can provide you a copy if you'd like one for reference.

Again, I apologize for this.  Communicating with IP lawyers regarding my Star Citizen hobby was the last thing I expected for my Sunday afternoon.

Sincerely,

Ephraim

Well, we've had exactly the same from some members who wanted to leave no trace of their DMW presence.   I remember three in particular, the only thing missing was the lawyer.

Ok, they have drafted and are voting on the PACT agreement.   This is draft and in confidence, their vote will not finish until 28th September, but is not expected to change.

Draft attached for early consideration.

...and the final version is on the website.   We ought to read it I guess to make sure it is still as was and then let them know we want to go ahead with our application.

I may not get a chance to check through it until the LAN, so if someone else can then so much the better!
