CT vs. CC - The "Misinformation Ends Here" cagematch

Done. I spelled 'semen'.

Several of those links aren't working for me. I'd rather not use quotes from the VP forums, since I'm not a member there. I guess the original Ultracade/ MAME trademark thread here must have been sent to hell. It's not coming up when I try to search for it.

EmdKay's quote above is from the original thread
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=32730.0

But there was another long one too . . .

[Stingray]

Yeah, I found that one but I was looking for the other really long thread, which I think was the first.

-S

[Tiger-Heli]

There's also:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=38190.0

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=37779.0

Actually, a search on thread by number of replies might find it as well.

Actually, I think 32730 might be the first one - it's 19 pages long . . .

Without actually using guy on guy porno, I'm not sure how I could make it more gay.

Could take two pictured of characters that he has exclusive rights to and make them look like they are humping or making out.

ie Mr. DO! and some other char (not sure if he's fessed up yet which characters he owns)

[ChadTower]

I went to respond to Edgedamage's post and it had been removed.

[Edgedamage]

Yes, but you still might have won. That's the beauty of this system (or lack thereof).

It was easier to quit.  I went and had a life last night.

With this post count?

[ChadTower]

14 per day!  Oh no!

[Edgedamage]

Heee.

[Crazy Cooter]

Does he even own Mr DO!?

http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Universal_%28game_company%29
Universal Sales Co. LTD sold off their video game manufacturing arms in the 1990's to Takara and Capcom.
Capcom is still around, so that leaves Takara...

http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Takara
Takara Toys is a Japanese toy company founded in 1955. Hasbro combined Takara's Diaclone and Micro Change toylines in 1984 to create the Transformers. Takara's original mascot was a golliwog-like character named Dakko-Chan, which they only recently replaced with a similar-looking monkey.
So Takara is still around, so is Hasbro...

How did Mr. DO! fall through the cracks where someone could buy it?  Did Takara sell it off?  Universal's trademarks on the artwork were cancelled in Feb of 1991 according to the TM search at www.uspto.gov.

Okay the Ultracade page on my site has bloated quite a lot this morning.

I'm open to suggestions as to what needs to be added or removed.

[ChadTower]

He wouldn't have to own Mr Do, just have a licensing agreement with whoever does own it.

[Tiger-Heli]

He is claiming outright ownership, not licensing in the other thread.  I found a site yesterday where someone was talking about an arcade legends machine and credited Ultracade with only some of the games - this one:

Looking good, I'd move the quotes and the pic to the top - gives more impact before people read all the background drek and drivel . . .

(not that the other comments are true drek and drivel . . .)

(not that there'd be anything wrong with that if they were .  . .)

[Stingray]

Good idea. I moved the pic back to the top, but rather than clutter that area with all of the quotes, I just chose my favorite Foleyism and added it to the top of the page. I left the other quotes where they were.

Errm, contact who???

Foley posted on the other thread that he OWNED the trademarks, but he will just say that again if contacted, whether or not it's legit.

The website I posted is just some dude's weblog saying the machine arrived at his work, and listing the games it has, but it lists Ultracade as the trademark owner, after universal.  I don't think the dude with the weblog would KNOW either but I'm assuming he got that information off the ultracade site or the documentation that shipped with the machine.

Basically I was posting it to say that Ultracade is claiming the trademarks more places than just some posts here and at VPF.

[DrewKaree]

I'm game, but can Stingray change the page title, I only have 91 characters left and just the web address takes 94.

TinyURL it.  Here.  Copy/paste     http://tinyurl.com/7gwcb

There's even a sweet little tinyurl extension for Firefox if you so desire

Will this move the page up in Google, or will it make the tinyurl page move up in Google . . .

Cool idea, though!!!

The following needs to be changed wherever it appears:  David R. Foley, CEO of Ultracade

I realize it may be cumbersome, but in order for it to carry more weight and/or highlight the humor/irony/scumminess of the situation, it needs to be changed to:

David R. Foley, CEO of Ultracade and self-described public relations liason for Ultracade

Clean it up to be more "official" sounding, but that clearly has to be added to his title, since it's his declaration of his "public-relations" moniker further demonstrates the absurdity of his actions in light of his methods of dealing with his "audience/target market".

That, I'm not positive on.  I dunno the specifics of its redirection magic and how it relates to Google.

Weblog guy.  I'm wondering if it was in the literature?

Okay, good suggestion. Anyone have any ideas for "cleaning it up and making it sound more official"?

You can include verbage from these files

[Crazy Cooter]

Here's the letter Foley wrote regarding his actions.  You can find plenty of hypocrisy in the statements.

[Stingray]

Openoffer.pdf and mame.pdf are already on my site, but I added the full trademark application.

[Crazy Cooter]

You can also dismiss all Foley's comments on how people shouldn't use art that doesn't belong to them to promote their cabinets.  I found the advertisment he was using when he was distributing Namco titles without a license in his machines (found on the internet archive):

http://web.archive.org/web/20030414193513/www.ultracade.com/images/PacFamily2.jpg


oh the hypocrisy  .

[ChadTower]

Or maybe he learned his lesson as to the consequences of doing such a thing.

[JoyMonkey]

Any sightings of Stingray's Ultracade page on Google yet? I thought it'd be showing up by now...

[Stingray]

It probably would help if more people would link to it from their sites.

Hell, if you want to stalk me online, just google DarkKobold. I come up 75% of the time.

You do realize you are opening yourself up for a civil defamation suit, yes?
