101 ways to leave a game show

Michael Segade, you claim that you are being attacked, yet in this single thread you've insulted one of my moderators, the auditioning process as a whole, and the entire community. There is a reason that so many members have approached you about your behavior, Mr. Segade. We appreciate that you're making an honest attempt to participate in the community, but calling people out for what you consider to be bad behavior is not the way to do it. You've been more disrespectful to the community in this one thread than most people have ever come close to being in their entire tenure as members here.

This community is comprised of one of the nicest and smartest collections of people that I have ever had the privilege to get to know in my entire life. If you're going to come to Millionaire Fans and attack my members and my staff each time you're called out for your own questionable behavior, then I am not going to stand for it. The community has gotten along just fine without you, and the password-protected fan games board has done a wonderful job of protecting the hard work of our members. I guess that means that the problem lies with you and not the site or the people who frequent it.

Furthermore, leimeisei has a point regarding your identity. You originally approached both me (through the PM system) and the community at large as a representative of the Zodiak Corporation. I've been contacted countless times about the validity of that assertion, and frankly I'm unclear about this issue myself. Could you please provide the community with some proof that the Zodiak Corporation even exists? You're seeking copyrighted materials (official music and sound effects from "Millionaire" chief among them) from us, yet no corporation would ever be obtaining these materials on a fan message board. A corporation would have to license these materials from the copyright holder. At this point, your entire identity is thrown into question because it appears that the Zodiak Corporation isn't really a corporation at all. And the copyright message you attach to each post in your signature certainly seems to have little validity.

So it falls to you, Mr. Segade, to explain your identity and your motives, because the behavior that you have displayed in your short tenure on these forums only casts increasing doubt as to your trustworthiness and character.

When the Zodiak Corporation first auditioned I thought I'd check them out and found as much as GSK did. I thought "Judge not, lest ye be judged" and it didn't really matter so I didn't say anything. But since we all have been judged now, that's a different story.

Just look at the dates of all the posts on the various websites of the Zodiak Corporation. In one of their YouTube videos they say something about an 8 year anniversary. There's nothing about that corporation on the internet from more than one year ago. I'm not a businessman but isn't the internet kind of important in our day and age? If you've been in business for so long, wouldn't you want to promote your work, show what you've already achieved, who you've worked for? Especially if you've worked for Cartoon Network, wouldn't you mention that everywhere? I'm not criticizing Michael Segade's Millionaire game, because that's grea, but there are no other games (except for that Rayman game which they're only promoting, apparently), no publicity, nothing.

And one more thing about the copyright comment:
Taking credit for somebody else's creations and selling them is against the law, yes, but it's frustrating enough to see your work spread all over the internet for free without consent, I would imagine. Iff someone does take money, asking nicely if the thief would be so kind to take the game down probably won't work. And it's not like we can all simply hire a lawyer to take care of everything. Lawyers are expensive and many of us have barely graduated high school.

You might find our talking about trustfulness arduous but I personally value honesty above all else. Somebody can make 100 mistakes but if they admit those mistakes and tell me why they made them, I'll very likely forgive them. If, however, they have obviously made a mistake but deny it or blame somebody else, that's a deal breaker for me.

Okay, and since this is a thread about 101 Ways To Leave a Game Show, here's my opinion on it: Distressing , takes itself more seriously than it really is, but not worth the fuss.
