I made a browser-based game? Does that count? :P
Maybe I could lend a hand for a user CP or something like that.

Andrew Keen was right....I never truly understood all of his talks and lectures until now. Web 2.0 has turned the next generation of children to use the web into a colossal pile of idiots that accept everything at face value and see no compromise in any of their media and just consume it all up and help spread the commerercialised crap that will eventually lead to random name picking MTV running everything but our bloody kitchen sink.
Please stay on the topic of a new RaGEZONE Private Server.Quote:

Canon, this (webdesign/systems) is actually my JOB irl, not just some crazy fantasy tbfh.
Yeah yeah, that's all well and good, and I'm glad, but that again is not all that's in developing a game. I'm genuinely pleased if that's your job because it will make life alot easier on us all and I wish you the best of luck, I don't remember suggesting your job was fantasy btw :ehh:Quote:

What you have is a man who argues in his speeches and his book for quite literally Corporatism. He believes every thing a person does should earn some company money. He doesn't believe in the free market, in fact thinks it's horrible, yet claims he is a proponent of capitalism (LOL, this is only contradiction #1). He doesn't believe in monopolies, he vehemently speaks against them, yet the companies he lists aren't monopolies, they just happen to have a product that's so good, or do a service so well that they dominate the market. The companies he doesn't list are more telling, namely one being Microsoft, another being Apple. MASSIVE corporations, clearly engaged in antitrust actions to produce and maintain true monopolies. Yet he never mentions them. He then believes strongly in things like copyright, patent law, trademarks, etc. These are temporarily granted intellectual MONOPOLIES. Another contradiction.
Instead, he seems to have a veiled hatred for innovation and technological advancement. He wants things to be the way they were when the progressives took over most major countries in the world and shoved out the idea of short patents, short copyrights, free markets, consumer rights, etc. Every point he argues is pro-corporatism. He wants huge companies raking in cash for EVERYTHING and consumers being completely fucked, no choice, and no freedom to do anything.
He's so fixated on this corporatism concept, which is inherently flawed and a horrible idea, that he doesn't see this has happened before, quite a few times in fact, and the companies that adapt and use new technology tend to do better than those who don't. The invention of the printing press, created the ability for people to massively reproduce written works. This happened before copyright was established and authors made far more money for their time than they do today (with a massive copyright system). Inventions, back when there were no patents came rapidly and built on one another because everyone could simply add on to the previous guy's tech. Patents came along and patent owners would sit on their patents raking in cash and stopping technological advancement in its tracks. These are systems that were put in place that have destroyed the boom in these revolutionary eras, stubbing our future growth to almost nothing, all done by progressives. And again with each new advent of huge technological importance, the same things happen, it enables people to do extraordinary things, then the government quickly squanders it into a utility primarily for huge corporations to make money. It happened with automobiles, radio, television, etc etc etc. Now here's a proponent for doing the same to the internet.
He's ass backwards in everything he says. The companies embracing technology are advancing and growing far more quickly than those set in ancient concepts and business models. He fears change, he's afraid of innovation, and prefers that long standing corporations remain standing forever, but advancements make it possible for new companies to demolish old ones. So much so that companies like Google.. like Amazon.. and those likes.. are dominating the markets in their respective products because they do it better than long standing competitors (research firms, book stores, etc), not because they're misusing technology or ignorant, or cheating. Simply because they embrace it.
This man is one hell of an ignorant fuck. I invite you guys to find anyone who's purchased his book and have a gathering to burn them, put the video on youtube, then e-mail it to him. He really is insane, and the scary part is, the people in control of our countries think just like he does.
Back on topic:
This thread is about a "private server", so we have a new thread about a RZ game. If the idea of a private server is being scrapped, and we're set on making a new game, why is this thread still open?
I always wondered what happened to that O.o also bring back RZ RYL! Best RYL server i played on :(Quote:

I'm not good at coding and shit, but I can help probably being a consultant. Send me a pm if you want that.
To everyone who thinks making it for free/ minimal amount of money isn't possible, it actually is, you just have to find the right people and it'll take more time.
You probably would want to make it such that no one is paid till the point of revenue generation.
I'm involved in stuff like setting up meetings, future goals, problems with community etc.
Wow a new RaGEZONE private server sounds interesting.
Too bad I'm as useless as a bowl of noodles, else i would pitch in some help.
