MORE LAWYER BULLSHIT

GODDAMMIT!! Now this jennifer lai is sending out letters to the people i sent copies of the revision discs out to! Fldude2k1 posted his letter on the board:

"Dear Mr. Pham,
It has come to out attention that you may recently have come into possession of a beta version of our new game, ESPN Football. THis Letter is to inform you of something you were undoubtly unaware when you accepted that game: it is property of The Sega Corp.As the Sega Corp and all its subsidiaries, including Visual Concepts we take the development of our games very seriouslyu and spend a great deal of money to sensure that they are of the highest quality. Our competitors would like nothing more than to be able to get an advanced look at some of the innovative features of the game, like First Person Football. To avoid this, we nmust develop out games in the strictist secreacy. We're Sure you'll understand and when we ask that you drop the disc in the enclosed, SASE, and return our property to us. Thank you in advance for your swif compliance. We appreciate your interest in Sega Sports and look forward to serving your gaming needs in the future.

Very Truly yours,
Jennifer Lai Esq.
Corporate Conunsel"

--i don't know how they got their mailing addresses to even send these letters out, but i intend to get to the bottom of this. I find it interesting that the reason she gives for wanting the discs back is "Our competitors would like nothing more than to be able to get an advanced look at some of the innovative features of the game, like First Person Football." -- like that feature hasn't been old news for weeks already. It's clear they want these early beta versions all rounded up because they contain INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE AGAINST THEM!

Nice try again sega, but your attempts to silence me only strenthen my resolve to keep on fighting, and no amount of harassment you dish out will make me give up!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......alright you guys got me.

Posted by: beta-7 at August 2, 2003 05:12 PM


That last comment wasn't me, btw.

I copied and pasted it from what fldude posted on the board. Since he got a letter on paper via snail-mail, I'm assuming he had to type it in himself to be able to post it, and if so, the typos are probably his.

Posted by: beta-7 at August 2, 2003 05:20 PM


yeah he doesnt seem too smart. His comments on espn 2k4 posted at nf2kx.com are almost illegibal

Posted by: at August 2, 2003 05:24 PM


Hmm...the nfl2kx forums are down now. Damn.

Posted by: at August 2, 2003 05:31 PM


hey be nice, man. i wasn't trying to say he isn't smart, just that a high-powered lawyer probably wouldnt make too many typos.

Posted by: beta-7 at August 2, 2003 05:31 PM


"yeah he doesnt seem too smart. His comments on espn 2k4 posted at nf2kx.com are almost illegibal"

Next time you try to insult someone else's intelligence, don't make a fool out of yourself. You spelled "illegible" wrong. MORON

Heh you know Beta-7, I just had an idea. If Sega is going to act like they don't want other developers to get access to their game maybe you should start sending copies out to all kinds of developers. Starting with EA sports.

Posted by: Sega Slayer at August 2, 2003 06:22 PM


Great Idea Sega-Slayer. Or Beta-7, you can black mail them, and of course take them to court...

Posted by: Leo at August 2, 2003 07:35 PM


If you blackmail them then they can take you to court. That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. Madden has already gone gold, why would they need a beta? What could they use it for anyway? All they have to do is get a finished copy of the game. Think before you type dumbass.

Posted by: at August 2, 2003 07:52 PM


Your not going to black mail them! Thats just crazy. Just start sending the disks to everyone you can think of that Sega wouldn't want to have a copy. Just to piss them off.

Posted by: Sega Slayer at August 2, 2003 09:12 PM


Why wouldn't you just put it online? Sega wouldn't sell a single copy since everyone would have it and then get all crazy liek you and then Sega would be sued by billions of people

Posted by: GameReign.com at August 2, 2003 09:56 PM


Well i was typing it quickly.. so what if there are a few errors.... Im not gonna go back and fix mistakes.. Frankly I just dont care.

Posted by: fldude2k1 at August 2, 2003 10:15 PM


Why not black mail sega by making them pay you some money or else you will go and give them to EA or other game companies. This same thing worked once with a hacker. He called up the FBI and told them he had total control over their server and if they hired him and paid him so much money he would make an anti-hack patch so that other hackers couldn't get in. The FBI actually hired him then and this guy become a hacker for the FBI. Its quite ironic how black mail can get you a job quickly LOL. Oh and the FBI hacker story, it is true, my uncle was once an FBI agent and he told me that story.

Getting rich was never my goal with this campaing against sega, all i ever wanted was for them to take responsibility for what they did, fix these blackouts they caused, and give me my life back. Are you talking about sending copies of the beta discs to EA, XxMeSsIaHxX? Cuz i don't know how much blackmail value that would actually have, with madden coming out in like a week. Besiedes, i feel that getting my story out there to enough people will bring more heat on sega than blackmail anyway. (I WOULD be interested in sending copies out to some high-profile people for safekeeping of the evidence, since sega/vc is trying to reel them all in -- but who?)

And uploading the beta copies probably wouldn't keep sega from selling copies, since the versions i have are unfinished and only playable on modified consoles. Plus, i'm trying to keep this dangerous product from being distributed, not release it like a deadly virus into an unsuspecting population. I don't want the thought of causing lots of other people to be afflicted with this condition on my consciense.

Posted by: beta-7 at August 3, 2003 10:56 AM


Hey XxMeSsIaHxX, the job he got would be labled "white hacker"

Posted by: at August 3, 2003 12:01 PM


Why dont you just forget about it. Why dont you just forget about it.

Posted by: Forget about it rick at August 3, 2003 12:23 PM


Beta-7 I warned you that your mother company would get pissed at you. Wow, I bet Sega Slayer feels like a real ass considering he said that Sega couln't do anything about the disks and he said that the disks were blank or something. What a dumbass. I guess I was right. If I recall correctly I said Sega could sue beta-7 for harboring/distributing illegal copyrighted disk. Sega Slayer, we all forgive you for your stupidity and ignorance.

Posted by: at August 3, 2003 01:54 PM


I'm sorry, you were right. I was totally wrong. Wow, that shows how dumb I really am. I thought these disks that provided movies of espnfl were blank. But wait, that doesn't make any sense because blank disks can't make moviws if they are blank. Oh, you guys, I gotta go, my momma is calling me, I have to go back to summer school right now. I'll be back and act like even more of an ass. I can't wait.

Posted by: Sega Slayer at August 3, 2003 01:57 PM


we definatly need a registration system here...

Posted by: fldude2k1 at August 3, 2003 04:35 PM


fldude your a tard go home and slit you wrists you nigger

Posted by: at August 3, 2003 05:30 PM


dude, grow up and show some respect - if not for others, than at least for yourself. there's no need for that kind of ignorant, moronic drivel, which i'm sure you're aware of, since you lack the balls to back your stupidity up with a signature.

Posted by: beta-7 at August 3, 2003 07:48 PM


YO BETA-7 i know were lucky that u dont ban any of us and i like how its so easy to post messages(u dont need an acount), but when assholes like that just say things like that i thinkt that your gonna change the way we post comments. DONT . i know i always fight with slayer but thats cause HE PISSES ME OFF. hes a faggot. ANYWAY.....can u post more vids?????

Posted by: fakeyguy A.K.A. fakeguy at August 3, 2003 09:24 PM


It should not be nessary to point out that the previous message in my name was not actually by me. It was rather obviously the moron who thinks that Sega can sue someone based on CDs that may or may not exist.

Guess what dumbass, Sega isn't sueing him at all. They just sent him a letter THREATENING to sue him. I can threaten people with all kinds of stuff but it doesn't mean I can legeally do it.

Posted by: Sega Slayer at August 3, 2003 10:54 PM


Ok...Beta-7 is clearly in the driver seat. Assuming he is telling the truth...If the media gets a hold of this lawsuit...then he will have a true outlet to tell his story and counter w/ a law suit of his own if he wishs.

Posted by: Common sense at August 4, 2003 02:03 AM


That is the most sensable and post and a great idea. Prob is can beta7 really proove that the game really made him blackout? Still i think getting this into the media would be the best thing he could do.

Posted by: Rapier at August 4, 2003 05:12 AM


Shit need a decent forum so we can edit our posts. Dam typos :P

Posted by: Rapier at August 4, 2003 05:13 AM


I haven't been affected by this beta game yet, seems like any sports game I've played. I also got a letter from Sega saying the exact same crap. They also gave me a letter to put the disc in and post it back. I laughed, like they would send someone all the way down to Australia if I don't "return" it.

The award this year goes to our most voted case in Orange Couty, California.
Kirkeby vs. Fascenelli

Lawyers and judges in Orange County are out of control in California.
It is the trial lawyers and democrats that run the State of California, sucking the honest hard working people dry. The judges in the civil courts in Orange County continually allow the good old boys network to bring frivolous actions and allow them to continue and participate in the court system.

For example, one case that I found and researched is a case involving a former divorced woman who apparently has issue's and nothing else to do with her money (from a former divorce settlement) than spread it around to lawyers and the Orange County judicial system.

The case of the year that gets all the votes for being the most frivelous case is
Kirkeby vs. Fascenelli,

Kirkeby is a divorced woman who is suing her apparent birth brother. The plaintiff Kirkeby is very careful to continue to use her former married name in all of her pleadings, so I found out after researching county divorce records and connecting the dots.If she was my former wife using my name I would take the gas pipe !
Divorce records show in family court that this woman accused her former husband of child molestation so its no surprise that this action is going on See the family courts.

Cynthia Kirkeby(Plaintiff in this new action against Fascenelli) formerly married to a Robert Kirkeby : some guy who plays cards and apparently considers himself soome sort of card playing garu, according to the search engines when you put in his name.

Apparently some lawyer representing this Kirkeby is telling her just what she wants to hear according to the files I read on public records.

I've seem less pleadings and motions in the OJ Simpson trial

Fasceenelli the birth brother seems to be just defending himself or we assume, but further research shows that this guy has a law firm that has a reputation for high dollar fee's so its anyones guess what the hell is going on and who did what to who.....

The ironic part of this entire case is that when you look at the records and pleadings they seem to have been written by a scorned “x Wife” rather than the attorneys. They are for the most part " esoterec" by nature and contain nothing but mud slinging exchanges, rather than pleadings with merit.

My surprise is that this case made its way through he court system as far as it did without any problem, which proves that even you can sue and be right no matter what you plead in Orange County as long as you have the money.

According to the bankruptcy court(to which is now where the case is (duh) the legal fee's thus far in this case have exceeded 1,500,000.00. The OJ Simpson case total fee's were 978,000.00 for the not guilty verdict Legal fee's must be rising :)

This is the most ridiculous case I have ever read and want you to see it.
Search Kirkeby vs Fascenelli in Google and watch the results that come up, all the way to the supreme court !

This dumb ass case is apparently supporting the sharks and keeping the judges employed.

This entire case is over a defunct business having to do with "dog tags", “What the hell are they all thinking” We know what the lawyers are thinking :) New Lexus, New House, New Car and the beat goes on in California...so dont even ask about the recall or Arnold, this place is becoming more like Disneyland everyday !

After you read this bullshit case, you will have no doubt as to who is running this county

Tune in next month for the newest bullshit cases that I find judges are allowing in the court system

In God We Trust, Lawyers "Want Cash"

I recently sat with a single Mom over a cup of java who was loosing her home along with her dignity. She went to an Orange County Lawyer who told her that he would help her..First Mistake !

When all was said and done the attorney helped her out of her wedding ring (given by her former dead husband), her car, and her daughters trust fund that she had for college.

The single Mom still lost all that was dear to her, and her attorney wont return her calls now.

She filed a complaint with the "infamous" California State Bar, and the bar wrote back and informed her that they do not get involved in fee disputes. (duh) another lawyer

The California State Bar although they "say that they police the attorneys ethics and conduct the truth of the matter the California State Bar was formed by the attorneys, and financed by the attorneys. The State Bar gets all of the interest money that is paid on lawyers trust accounts. Why would they do anything to hurt their cause. Yea I know their web site stats say they disbarred so many attorneys last year blah blah blah ? Hell those cases were so blatant their was blood on the floor and someone caught the shark while his teeth were still in the bite. Complaining to the State Bar about a sharks conduct is like going to the fox who is guarding the chicken house and asking him to protect and serve according to their porofessional ethics.....

Lawyers should be policed by an independent board of civilians much like police departments are watched. A man can steal much more with a brief case and a dark suit than he can with a gun.

Look, we have criminal lawyers in society much like others who rob banks and old people.

"As a side bar note and fleeing thought

I wish I sold all those sun glasses to old people, you know the kind that cover their entire face. now there is a decent ocupation"

Back to the point"

When soemone steals from you at gunpoint, there is no ambiguity as to why they are there. Lawyers on the other hand have a perpetual license to steal and most of them get caught up in the scenario of riches and the good life. Why in the hell would anyone want to become a lawyer, especially in Orange County. Becoming an attorney in Orange County is like selling hamburgers next to McDonalds.... (Would anyone financially back such a business venture to do so)yet they all seem to make a living in high rise buildings dont they ! You do the math and demographics.

The biggest joke If you think Im blowing smoke as to how this has all been set up, visit the bankruptcy court in Orange County. They have a sign over their that says "We Gladly Accept Master Card or Visa"

Jesus H. Christ what they hell are they doing to society...Bankruptcy court credit cards ! Is anyone else seeing what I am ? The trial lawyers need to go and return the State to the people....Its all set up much like Vegas, to get your money. When the judges in Orange County begin sanctioning these sharks for frivelous matters, then you will see a change. Other than this the beat goes on in Orange County with more lawyer bullshit.

Note"

Im researching another Bullshit civil case. Wait until you see this one and the sidebar comments from a court reporter "What goes on that you do not hear or see in the record"
