1> Faith has been available to the public since before SoTL's first post. It is on the Free Repo.
It's a large program, so some might want to purchase it to speed things along. BW on the Repo is sometimes congested with requests. High traffic may be generated by the need to attack Rev installs. I was merely proposing purchasing it as an alternative, should the need arise. I realize it's a big repo, but not everyone's going to be downloading Faith so, even if it's pretty clear now, that could very well change. I was merely covering all our bases and accounting for alternate contingencies.
2> Riolic the best way you can help is to get rid of your copies.
I'm not convinced that any of the copies are his. If they are, all he has to do is press "task complete" and the problem is solved. I'm sure he would like to see SGP taken down a peg but I doubt that Riolic wants to waste all the time and effort he's already spent and toss away his income in a reset. I believe he would find much more satisfaction in performing direct attacks rather than using underhanded tactics which punish everyone.
3> Exousia you need to read the dang group forums. You are saying many MANY things that We should be doing that are already posted there.
Forgive me for thinking that this is a community problem, not just an SGP/ARC problem. Not everyone reads the group forums regularly either. It's been very quiet there. I understand the need to do as we set out to do and attack Revelation, but why not enlist those who are willing? Am I wrong to think that a strong community action is required to fight this and other problems we're facing right now?
4> Installing Rev can not be killed. Not even by local host of the server it is installing on. The only one who can kill it is the person who is installing it (This is information that has already been given out)
All the easier if we choose to force an install just so we can disinfect it and stop the research on it.
5> Raistlin. It is your choice if you wish to join the fight or not. All I can say is that SGP does not have any installations going currently and all copies of Revelations we have are being deleted and/or formatted.
Then we have our answer from SGP, now we need SoTL to hold up it's end and start disarming so we know that their intentions are honorable as well. I've seen their format tasks with my own eyes but I've also seen the install tasks. At this time, they could go either way.
Whatever Raistlin's ill feelings toward SGP, I believe he is willing to set them aside for these reasons. He has as much to lose as any of the rest of us.
6> With regards to the Revelations copy on my main server. I am working at moving all of my files from it to a new main server at which point all will be able to log in and verify the fact it is currently in the deletion process.
Good to know. I never doubted it, but you can understand if I did not wish to stir the anti-SGP sentiment by insisting that it was a given and defeat/reduce any potential cooperation by breaking it apart with pettiness.
Make no mistake people, I am a member of ARC and and the FU, and I trust SGP, but I also understand the enmity that some bear toward SGP and maintain that these barriers to cooperation must be set aside for the time being if anything is to be accomplished here. I do not believe that I have done anything wrong or inconsistent with SGP, ARC, or the FU.
