Nope, we never even discussed an Incredible Machine clone. I haven't heard ANYONE discuss it at all as a matter of fact. So obviously Davinci and Eike kept the secret very well.

I certainly won't use any sly tactics to prevent someone else from producing a game similar to my own. We were very courteous to Applwoodhouse.com and their worms clone, Armourgeddon (whatever happened to that?)

The more [high quality] games the better.

Well, randall, im sorry if i offended you too.

Im looking forward to the snails for 720, it looks really cool. like i said, that was a rumor.

now, do you think we can get back to business..
Shape, i didn't mean to undermine your talant.

Everyone:

if you have an idea for an object, post it

now, i hope we can all act friendly again.

Perhaps I should not have responded in the first place, but now I will do it again.

I don't know Courtney, so I can't speak for his personality, but in the absence of evidence to the contrary, I will hold onto my oppinions of him.

As for the 'situation' as it were, I don't think this is an argument over style or skill. The issue at hand is slamming shape.

If you want a project manager, that is fine, have one. Though I agree with Randall that it may be superfluous in this case. However, to allow Shape to give a sample, then slam it, then go and tell everyone you booted him is low-class bs. The guy has been a contributory member of PM for a VERY long time, and trying to make him look bad (whether incidental or not) is just not cool. That is my complaint.

I hope the game rocks, I like the idea. I wish you all the luck in the world. I recind my offer to code (though you didn't take it up anyway).

Either way, I would rather see a kinder, friendlier thread on this subject so that we might endevour to have a calm conversation about it.

Personally I agree with both sides(I feel like a politician, taking the "middle ground" )

But really I can see both points.

I know that most of you have taken a side, and would love to battle it out, but try not to go overboard with name calling and the like. Hopefully this will just end, but in an effort to keep PM "free" I will not close this thread. Just as we have decided not to censor swear words.

So basically we leave it to you PM'ers to moderate yourself.
