Sorry MHz, I'm feeling particularly goofy after submitting my grant. :)
* * *
<Scuzzi> Mornin Jolo.
<Squelchy> lo jolo
<MHz> jolo: can I ask ya some stuff about the ibl page....?
<Jolo> um... no
<Squelchy> *hic*
<MHz> ok.
=== Action: Jolo no longer supports the IBL page
<MHz> no way!?
<Jolo> the IBL page has been commercialized
<Squelchy> oh?
<Jolo> talk to ThoughtPort
=== Action: Jolo counts his tidy pile of cash
<MHz> are you serious?
<Squelchy> ack
<Squelchy> not them
<Scuzzi> haha
<Squelchy> don't tell me it's on their server
<Jolo> at first i was like, no way
<Jolo> but they kept upping the price
<Jolo> finally i said fux it
<Scuzzi> Jolo's pulling our legs.
=== Action: Squelchy checks to see if it's April 1
<Pins> scuzzi - no he's not
*** You have been kicked off channel #bolo by MHz (Evil joke bitch!)
<Pins> he is serious
<Pins> sheesh
<MHz> heheh really?
<Pins> jolo told me about this last week
<Squelchy> hmmm
<Jolo> it's not up yet
<Jolo> it's going to be part of the new OBHP
<Pins> but he didn't make any cash
<Squelchy> that's what she said
<MHz> hmmm....we're still running ibl, no?
<Scuzzi> Why would ThoughtPort by a Tournament?
<MHz> I mean what's the deal.?
<Jolo> it'll take a while i'm sure for those bozos to get it compatible
<Pins> caus bq is a wuss who does exactly what vert tells him to do
<Jolo> their server is weird
<Jolo> heh
<MHz> hmmm...was there a post about this I missed somewhere?
<Squelchy> tp is slow
<Squelchy> at everything
<Jolo> Scuzzi: same reason Berserkir is sponsoring the Avara league
<Jolo> it's good for business
<Squelchy> bq means well but results are where it's at
*Pins* I take it things are going well joseph :)
Jolo-> *Pins* heh
Jolo-> *Pins* that "cheat codes" thread got me in a trolling mood
<Jolo> Pins: I *was* going to take some of my 1st check and buy beers at next bo
lofest but now...
*Pins* thats good to hear.. you were getting too freaked out with all the stress
.. glad to see you back in the land of the humourous *poke* *poke* :)
<MHz> hehehe
<MHz> they paid you for it, really?
<Pins> oh
<Pins> yeah right
<Pins> the day Jolo *doesn't* buy beer at a bfest... :P
<Jolo> i'm legally obligated to shut up now :(
<Jolo> non disclosure agreements sux
<Jolo> oh well
<MHz> yeah....
<MHz> well, some kinda post about you not running it would be nice...
*Pins* lol
*Pins* rotfl!
<Jolo> well it's not official yet
<MHz> I see.
<MHz> ok.
<Jolo> i haven't exactly received any checks
<Jolo> their lawyers are slooooow in approving some paperwork (no surprise)
<Jolo> it could be months :(
<MHz> just curious about s/t if you can't answer it's ok....why would they pay y
ou for it?
<Jolo> heh think about it
<MHz> I mean good business yeah, but why not just make their own?
<MHz> no copyrights or nuthing on IBL?
<Pins> they are buying the good faith of IBL
<Jolo> MHz: anything i write on the web or rgb is copyrighted
<MHz> me too?
<Pins> you think boloers are just ognna jump ship and join a tp sponsored tourne
y?
<Jolo> for example my FAQ is copyrighted
<Jolo> it says so in fine print at the end i think
<Jolo> plus what Pins said
<MHz> I see...but they could make a similar tournament
<MHz> true....
<Pins> jolo - its only copyrighted if you put the little copyright symbol on you
r posts
<Jolo> MHz: not without violating my copyright, I would sue them.
<Pins> and sueing is what geeky scientists do best :)
=== Action: Jolo has good lawyers
<Jolo> my work exposes me to lots of liability
<Pins> jolo - I could be wrong but I read that if you slap the c inna circle the
n you got total cp protection otherwise yer on shaky legal ground
<Jolo> gotta watch out for #1
<Pins> killing good looking breasts
<Pins> :)
<MHz> hmm...so you hjave to put the symbol/fine print for stuff to be copyrighte
d?
<MHz> hehehe
<Jolo> MHz: actually no, Pins was kidding
<Pins> mhz - yeah
<slymouse> I don't think you need the circle there
<Pins> jolo - erm I was serious
<MHz> it's automatically intellectual property?
<Jolo> http://www.qucis.queensu.ca/FAQs/FAQaid/copyright.html
[ boring copyright discussion snipped ]
<MHz> well, jolo, what does this mean for ibl, season's over?
<MHz> or reporting via the web is over?
<MHz> or can you not say....
<Jolo> MHz: i'll continue to run it for a while at least
Jolo-> *Pins* wonder if these rumors will kill ibl?
<MHz> ok..
Jolo-> *Pins* should've thought first and come up with a good rumor
Jolo-> *Pins* hmm
<MHz> I can see this "good" thing....going down the tubes fast...
<Jolo> god knows, with the typical TP pace, i may not see dime 1 until 1998
=== Action: Jolo thinks cash in his pocket is a good thing
<MHz> fer you....yeah....I don't blame ya...
<MHz> but I think this is gonna kill bolo a wee bit more..
<Jolo> might just have to sponsor an interstate bolofest :)
<MHz> I could be wrong
<Jolo> bolo is dead fewl
<Jolo> wake up and smell the stench
<MHz> well....mebbe...
<MHz> but losing ibl gonna make it worse.
<MHz> they buy the faq too?
<Jolo> heh
<MHz> or intend to buy?
=== Action: Jolo winks
<Jolo> i can't say
<Jolo> maybe, maybe not
<MHz> ok.
<Jolo> it's all conjecture anyway
<MHz> hmm, I can't see why they're so interested in this stuff if they never shi
t and get off the pot
<Jolo> mmmm
<Jolo> shit
<MHz> like....they have had it for like a year now, no?
<MHz> ya know, the rights...etc..
<Pins> hmm
<MHz> buying stuff up...but not putting teir shit in one pile...
*Pins* I was away reading that page
*Pins* interesting
*Pins* hehe
*Pins* its just m hz
*Pins* if anyone else asks just tell him you were yanking mhz chain
*Pins* solves any problem of ibl being hurt :)
*Pins* or even post the irc log to rgb
*Pins* if you want to totally defuse the situation
Jolo-> *Pins* considering doing that :)
Jolo-> *Pins* kinda mean tho
*Pins* and?
Jolo-> *Pins* heh
