 Г  Build and rule the fabled cities on the lost continent of Atlantis! Go    Г

 Г  head to head with ancient civilizations as you establish new colonies     Г

 Г  in the ancient Americas, Africa, Europe, and Asia. More goods, buildings  Г

 Г  (including massive monuments), and characters unique to Atlantis expand   Г

 Г  the city building experience presented in Zeus: Master of Olympus. New    Г

 Г  gods, monsters, and heroes inhabit Atlantis as you build it into a mighty Г

 Г  Atlantis with a powerful yet easy to use Adventure Editor.                Г

 Г                                                                            Г

 Г GROUP NOTES:                                                               Г

 Г ~~~~~~~~~~~                                                                Г

 Г Yesterday, Razor beat FLT on the release of LoMM.  We released the         Г

 Г game to sites several minutes before FLT did - FLT even requested a nuke   Г

 Г of their own release when it was clear the battle was lost.  Two hours     Г

 Г later, FLT concocted a story to try to get revenge for us beating them.    Г

 Г                                                                            Г

 Г Razor 1911 would like to clarify the events of yesterday all interested    Г

 Г parties.  Quite simply, FLT has pulled yet another dirty trick in a long,  Г

 Г long laundry list of dirty underhanded tricks.                             Г

 Г                                                                            Г

 Г Last Summer Razor started releasing again - August in fact.  This was      Г

 Г after a long dry spell.  FLT was in a clear position of dominance, with    Г

 Г Deviance a distant second, and nobody even trying for third.  In our       Г

 Г first month of the comeback, we took second place to FLT.  We continued    Г

 Г to perform very well, scoring lots of big titles that would have once      Г

 Г automatically gone to FLT - No One Lives Forever, Giants, Quake 3 Team     Г

 Г Arena, etc.  During this time FLT began to display a high degree of        Г

 Г animosity to Razor, calling us names (though never in their nfo files, I   Г

 Г guess hypocrisy is universal these days) and much worse.  Eventually,      Г

 Г after losing on more games than they would have liked, they started doing  Г

 Г things like nuking us if we released a game first and then racing the      Г

 Г release (for example with Star Trek StarFleet Command 2 and Rainbow Six    Г

 Г Covert Ops Essentials).  Recently FLT has ordered nukes of working, legit  Г

 Г Razor releases simply out of spite (911 Fire Rescue a few weeks ago,       Г

 Г for example).                                                              Г

 Г                                                                            Г

 Г Over the last few months, Deviance has put together a very nice run and    Г

 Г clearly established themselves as a superior group to FLT.  In response,   Г

 Г FLT has become more bitter than ever and is giving no quarter in its effortГ

 Г to discredit the competition wherever possible.  Because of Deviance's     Г

 Г recent releasing prowess, it is very easy for them to pick on the little   Г

 Г kid on the block, namely Razor 1911.  We pride ourselves in being a small, Г

 Г cohesive team, putting out games for fun and doing the best we can without Г

 Г worrying about being #1.  We have made our share of mistakes, nobody can   Г

 Г deny that, but yesterday's release was not one of them.                    Г

 Г                                                                            Г

 Г For a very long time, games that are intended primarily for network play   Г

 Г have been released with only the disc protection removed (if any existed toГ

 Г begin with) and a serial number included so the game could be played in    Г

 Г a single player, and sometimes a LAN mode (though some of the games do     Г

 Г require unique keys to be played over a LAN).  Legends of Might and Magic  Г

 Г is no different.  There was no disc based protection, only a key needed    Г

 Г to install the game so that single player games could be enjoyed, and the  Г

 Г possibility of LAN play provided the game allowed the same key to be used  Г

 Г on a LAN.  Our initial release included only a serial number - AS DID THE  Г

 Г INITIAL FLT DUPE WHICH WAS LATER NUKED.  Worth noting also is the fact     Г

 Г that the FLT sublabel Class did not release the game with the "crack"      Г

 Г that FLT later used - only additional keys were included.                  Г

 Г                                                                            Г

 Г This is a very salient point.  FLT put the game out in exactly the same    Г

 Г format we did upon initial release.  It was only after they had lost that  Г

 Г they came up with the outrageous solution to their defeat which was then   Г

 Г employed against Razor 1911.                                               Г

 Г                                                                            Г

 Г I mentioned hypocrisy earlier.  If FLT truly believed in releasing the gameГ

 Г in the manner in which they did, you would not have seen a Quake 3 release Г

 Г from FLT several years ago which included a key but no network play.  You  Г

 Г Would not have seen a Counter-Strike release from their EPH sublabel - CS  Г

 Г is not playable without a unique key, and doesn't even have singleplayer   Г

 Г practice missions like LoMM.  You would not have seen a Tribes 2 release   Г

 Г that included a key .. or a Kohan release .. or many others.  Yesterday FLTГ

 Г abandoned one of the unwritten rules of releasing, and that is that        Г

 Г games such as this are to be released with a key so that they may be       Г

 Г enjoyed in singleplayer, but anything beyond that is a "bonus" which the   Г

 Г end  user  may  eventually  get  in  the  form  of  a  key generator       Г

 Г or something like the many indepedant cracks for Quake 3 and Kohan which   Г

 Г allowed for playing the game without network authentication.               Г

 Г                                                                            Г

 Г Had FLT released their "cracked release" as a bonus, a patch to allow for  Г

 Г non-authenticated server games, and not re-released the entire game as if  Г

 Г to make it seem the Razor release were somehow improper, you would not be  Г

 Г reading this text.  But the fact that FLT makes a habit of systematically  Г

 Г ignoring the rules of fair conduct between groups required such a response.Г

 Г It is true that FLT has earned, through a lot of releases over the last    Г

 Г couple of years, a place in scene memory. They do not, however, deserve theГ

 Г respect of their peers -and this is something we wish to make clear at thisГ

 Г time.  While FLT may release a lot, they do not lift a finger to earn the  Г

 Г respect of Razor, and I would also think Deviance feels the same way thoughГ

 Г I cannot speak for them, as FLT has screwed them over in shady ways on moreГ

 Г than one occasion.  We do not respect FLT and until the group demonstrates Г

 Г its ability to behave in a responsible way towards its peers, we will not. Г Г

 Г                                                                            Г

 Г Ultimately, the end user is who is hurt by the ruthless actions of FLT, andГ

 Г others who might choose to behave in an underhanded manner.  By using theirГ

 Г substantial position in the scene to rob you of your choices, they are     Г

 Г undermining what the competition between groups is all about - competition Г

 Г between peers who respect each other and do their best to play within the  Г

 Г limits of the game.                                                        Г

 Г                                                                            Г

 ГWould you root for a baseball team that trotted 6 outfielders onto the fieldГ

 Гeach game while its opponents were honor-bound to play with only the regularГ

 Гcomplement?  We wouldn't, either.                                           Г
