Chris - that format is already in the public domain. I'd give up trying to 'public domain' any format ideas in order to keep them from being patented because you just continue to display your ignorance of patents by doing so. The 'idea' doesn't get the patent, its the invention that uses the idea that gets patents. That's what CLAIMS are - that's 'c' 'l' 'a' 'i' 'm' 's' - not clams.
Besides, your beach ball idea has already been tried in front of the camera and it was a dismal failure. Suggesting it further displays your ignorance of game design
BUT
that's not what I'm posting about:
The NCPA web site is now tearing apart Milt Call and his arena ball format. From this a few things are clear:
NCPA is a creature of Raehl. It will continue to do absolutely nothing long term or substantial for college players until they figure out that:
the purpose of the organization's position is to keep anyone and anything away from college paintball until someone else can take advantage of it - perhaps that would be nxl, or psp - and its more than likely to be one of them since there seem to be some very strong ties developed between the 'creature' in Wisconsin and the 'creature' in New York.
The purpose of college paintball is not to make life better for college ball, it is to deliver college ball dressed and trussed for the slaughter.
It will fall on deaf ears, but I wonder if the creature from Wisconsin has ever heard the phrase 'judas goat'...?
I'd strongly urge anyone who is even thinking about working with the college league to realize that its a captive market, already under the influence of certain other creatures and if your business and political goals do not coincide with theirs, you're only slitting your own throat by helping them out.
They've attacked and denigrated virtually every single organization that has tried to help them - including Milt Call, including PNN, IAO and its NOT from stupidity, there's a reason behind it, it follows a pattern we've seen before and it won't be stopped until the college players wake up and realize that they are on the primrose path to armageddon. But they won't wake up soon enough - that's part of the pattern also.
What the master manipulator really ought to take a look at is the history of other industry folks who have enjoyed a relationship with NY similar to his own. Oh? You mean there were others? Yes - and the fact that you have no clue as to who they are or what they did, the very fact that they are no longer in the industry, ought to be a big wake up call.
But it won't be because NY plays to people's weaknesses - flattery, importance, making you feel wanted and needed, making you believe you're going to go somewhere, supporting your efforts (but not too much, got to keep them darkies down on the farm) and always staying one step ahead of your suspicions.
Deaf ears, I know. That's why I'm waiting for yet another telephone call - oh, let's say about two years from now - when someone calls and sheepishly says 'you were right all along, how could I have fallen for it'?
Just like the virgin that finds herself pregnant after one brief fling -and moans over the fact that she can never be a virgin again..
