I was only using my Admin powers to my advantage, the way you did on your KOA forum. Notice that I did not do anything to Tovec's post. I never have modified your comments. I may have added to your comments but to delete em is a different story. Adding or deleting karma is different, changing your name is different but letting everyone else read your comment I have done nothing to edit your comments around. Yes, you did, you edited my comments to make me look like a fool.

Shut down the forum or I will go into legal actions. 1) Read my 'Proofs' on my VIP forum. 2) Legal actions... what're you going to sue me over? Plagiarism? I have pulled no plagiarism. Impersonating you? I never claimed to be you or Skillet or anyone else. Stealing VIP? I clearly stated that this VIP is not equivalent to the old VIP, although I had Skillet's permission to use the VIP name.

It is still stealing a name You don't have the Leader aproval. Skillet isn't a leader. The main Leader is Me... and I have the name under my rights. You created a forum which you still have no legal rights to even own the name. Change the name that does not have VIP in it. Or else. I am very serious. I am not mars or acting like mars. I will take you down by forcefully actions through the legal way. I may be the first player doing this.

I did not leave the fleet to skillet. It is solely my fleet. I own the name, I created the name, it is still under my ownership. I never said I gave it away, as it says above. I left the fleet to no one. In fact those who stayed in the fleet still have no ruling over me. I own the fleet. How stupid are you to think that you can just say Skillet is the leader. He left the fleet, Corster was never ranked a leader. Just like any other fleet if the leader leaves and he leaves and takes everyone with him... the leader still has rights to give the fleet to someone who ask him.
Therefore since I am the main leader, I still have rights over this fleet, Meaning I can kick all the other leaders. The other leaders could not kick me because they will have to vote to kick me out...

I will take you down by forcefully actions through the legal way. I may be the first player doing this. Haha. The only way you could possibly sue me is over trademark infringement over the name 'VIP'. Now. I quote from a page made by Harvard Law School. You can only argue that VIP is a descriptive mark. 'Overview of Trademark Law' In order to serve as a trademark, a mark must be distinctive -- that is, it must be capable of identifying the source of a particular good. In determining whether a mark is distinctive, the courts group marks into four categories, based on the relationship between the mark and the underlying product: (1) arbitrary or fanciful, (2) suggestive, (3) descriptive, or (4) generic. Because the marks in each of these categories vary with respect to their distinctiveness, the requirements for, and degree of, legal protection afforded a particular trademark will depend upon which category it falls within. A descriptive mark is a mark that directly describes, rather than suggests, a characteristic or quality of the underlying product (e.g. its color, odor, function, dimensions, or ingredients). For example, "Holiday Inn," "All Bran," and "Vision Center" all describe some aspect of the underlying product or service (respectively, hotel rooms, breakfast cereal, optical services). They tell us something about the product. Unlike arbitrary or suggestive marks, descriptive marks are not inherently distinctive and are protected only if they have acquired "secondary meaning." Descriptive marks must clear this additional hurdle because they are terms that are useful for describing the underlying product, and giving a particular manufacturer the exclusive right to use the term could confer an unfair advantage. ... A descriptive mark acquires secondary meaning when the consuming public primarily associates that mark with a particular producer, rather than the underlying product. Thus, for example, the term "Holiday Inn" has acquired secondary meaning because the consuming public associates that term with a particular provider of hotel services, and not with hotel services in general. The public need not be able to identify the specific producer; only that the product or service comes from a single producer. When trying to determine whether a given term has acquired secondary meaning, courts will often look to the following factors: (1) the amount and manner of advertising; (2) the volume of sales; (3) the length and manner of the term's use; (4) results of consumer surveys. Zatarain's, Inc. v. Oak Grove Smokehouse, Inc., 698 F.2d 786 (5th Cir. 1983). ... Assuming that a trademark qualifies for protection, rights to a trademark can be acquired in one of two ways: (1) by being the first to use the mark in commerce; or (2) by being the first to register the mark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO"). 15 U.S.C. ยง 1127(a). Remember, however, that descriptive marks qualify for protection (and can be registered) only after they have acquired secondary meaning. Thus, for descriptive marks, there may be a period after the initial use of the mark in commerce and before it acquires secondary meaning, during which it is not entitled to trademark protection. Once it has achieved secondary meaning, trademark protection kicks in. ... The rights to a trademark can be lost through abandonment, improper licensing or assignment, or genericity. A trademark is abandoned when its use is discontinued with an intent not to resume its use. Such intent can be inferred from the circumstances. Moreover, non-use for three consecutive years is prima facie evidence of abandonment. The basic idea is that trademark law only protects marks that are being used, and parties are not entitled to warehouse potentially useful marks. So, for example, a recent case held that the Los Angeles Dodgers had abandoned rights to the Brooklyn Dodgers trademarkMajor League Baseball Properties, Inc. v. Sed Non Olet Denarius, Ltd., 817 F. Supp. 1103 (S.D.N.Y. 1993).

Now. You did not register 'VIP' with the PTO, therefore you have no rights to bring an infringement suit against me for use of 'VIP'.
Further, you did abandon 'VIP' without intent to resume its use. Therefore losing any rights you may have had on 'VIP'.
Thus you have no legal grounds against me.

How hard is it to create a fleet of your own. I am begging you to put down that forum. Or you will see some sort of action against you.
CREATE A FLEET OF YOUR OWN... meaning do an original name not copy it.

You never had any intention to resurrect VIP. Under the law therefore you abandoned the trademark, meaning you abandoned your rights to the trademark. You have rights to come back and own it again just as anyone else has rights to use the trademark. Besides you hafta prove that I hurt you monetarily through my use of 'VIP'. Which you can't, because this is a virtual world.

I love the false description you wrote about VIP on stardock. VIP was the best fleet LOL. They weren't that great they stalemated against EDGE, and they couldn't stop EDGE from destroying Outcast Eagles, which where there allies during the war. Yes OE surrendered to us, and then Mars went into hiding for about 4 months.
And most skilled LOL yeah right. Everyone in VIP where SB wh0rez, they would only fight in SBz, because they knew that only 2 people in EDGE had access to SBs. We in EDGE would call them VISB (vets in star bases) LOL. And we where more skilled cause we would have to use our maruaders to fight four planet camping SB's and one AI SB so it was like 5 sbs. Sure we got killed alot but we where going against 5 SB's that where shooting like 12 rapid 2s. But we got a few good kills in with our mauraders.
And one more thing VIP wasn't really a vet fleet noobs like My_Name and Goku where allowed in the fleet and they had played for less then 2 years at that point. As i recall to be a VET you need to have played for more then 4 years. The only reason they were let into VIP was because kd recruited them into HOPE and when he left HOPE he took them with him.
Next time try to get the whole story before you write your lies on Stardock. And everyone knows that, the EDGE VIP WAR was the last great war, how dare u taint the history of SF by insulting VIP. Albert you said you quit SF, so what the fu Ck are you doing.

He's trying to get in any fleet by proving that he got into koa for a while and was kicked ... really all he is trying is get in every fleet he thinks is great... VIP did win the FW but that is all he knows and that is why he sees it as a great fleet.
