I want this business to be over. I have spent more time in the last two weeks dealing with the problems he has caused us, than working on the events or the mods or playing the game, and I am sick of it. I am ready to talk, but he doesn't trust me. So I will go ahead and unilaterally make as many concessions as I think he wants to see from me. So,
1. I promise to never rebrand Legion in any way whatsoever. The mod will be called Insomnia Legion, but there will be no visual change to designate it. I have come around to this viewpoint because I considered that even if I called the mod "The Worst Mod In The World", people would still play it. It doesn't matter much -- at least in the long run -- what a thing is called if it is awesome, and my mod will sure as hell be awesome.
2. I will put Insomnia Legion on GitHub with an MIT license, and the other license thingy mikey asked for, so that other people will be free to do to my mod what I am doing to Legion. This will happen as soon as we can get around to it, which will probably be early next week.
and,
3. I will cease work on Insomnia Legion for two months, or until mikey talks to me and gives me his full input, whichever comes first. I will also cease PLAYING Insomnia Legion, for two weeks (which will also mean I will cease playing Cosmic War, or working on it, apart from writing two blog reports of past events). After these two weeks, I will resume playing Insomnia Legion, but not developing it further, until the two months are up, or mikey talks to me. (Please note that the Insomnia Balance we are working on for Clan League and Clan Wars will continue to be developed during this time. The only thing I am taking from Legion for that for the moment is the Tyr, because it's my favorite unit in PA and I want to use it in the games, and I will give full credit for it, as I will do for everything else).
I do not require any response from mikey for any of the above, nor do I expect any, but I believe that it would be in the best interests of all of us -- and above all of PA -- if he started talking to me at some point.
All the above applies to Insomnia Legion. We are also making several other mods, including custom lobbies for use during our events, with different color schemes, and the event logos in the background etc., plus leaderboards on the sidebars and so on, but I don't think that will bother mikey. These are lobbies that only we will use when hosting events, in order to make them look cooler and more professional. We've already posted a bunch of pictures of them, so he has already seen them. I don't know what issue he could have with those, but I hope he doesn't have any because they look awesome and I love them.
I am getting back to work now.
