Anyone here beta test Confirmed Kill in 95? If so, shoot me an e-mail off line if you could.

Thanks.

I remember the PC Gamer issue from 95, after I read it I wanted to do this "online gaming" thing.

CK Beta .98 those were the days...

I wasnt an official tester, just d/l the public beta.

-taur- from Warbirds.

Why do you want to know? Looking for witnesses for a lawsuit? Inquiring minds want to know.

Eagle, send me an e-mail (youngj@mvalaw.com) and I'll answer any/all questions of yours that I can.

It involves a lawsuit by Wild Bill over his claimed "chokehold patent on the internet gaming industry" (those are his words) -- a patent we are trying to kill.

Thanks.

Hit it about .81 I believe. Would love to get in on this one, but I think my "contractual agreement" would probably exclude me

-ice in CK Beta

calculating the latency and anticipating movements based on it is, well, patently obvious on those grounds (I mean, deflection shooting -- aka shootin' varmints and such -- is based on the same principle), and the patent is unenforceable.
Damn I wish I'd been in CK beta.
You might also try the OT forum over at agw.bombs-away.net . They're not funded by IEN any more, and most people there don't even play Warbirds these days.

For those of you curious, JY checks out as AV located in Research Triangle.

Hmm... you guys do Delaware Corporate Law, by any chance?

Yep, no secrets here. Jeff Young, Moore & Van Allen, Raleigh NC. Represent Epic Games, Wild Bill has sued us (Epic) and others on his "chokehold" patent.

Dinger, I agree with you (of course) on the patent, and I appreciate you directing me to the other Board. I will pay them a visit.

Thanks.

---- (edited out dumb question) ------

For the record, I was in since 0.81. num6, no-6, -bcnu-, and most lately bcnu++ were my callsigns (can't remember when I last flew WB or anything else for that matter, a month straight work does that to ya.)
