Nov 4th 2007 7:32PM As a PvPer, I actually enjoyed this game for the Free For All PvP server. The biggest problems were the game stopping bugs and the absolutely horrible performance, and if it weren't for those things I probably would have still played...

Brian Ball responds to xPad developer's claims {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 5th 2007 12:15AM This part of the IM logs struck me the most.
Brian Ball: if we were to do it over again, how could you see us working it out so that it was a win-win for both of us.. assuming I still couldn't invest the $460 / month on something that wasn't selling.
5:45 PM
Garrett Murray: brian, i wouldn't have sold it to you if you were more honest with me. saying you couldn't invest the monthly amount means you were never planning on paying it. which means signing that contract was pointless and you intended to default on it
Garrett Murray: i don't appreciate that kind of tactic
Brian Ball: no no
Brian Ball: I didn't go into the deal with the intention of defaulting
Brian Ball: Garrett
Brian Ball: look at your numbers prior to our deal
Brian Ball: those numbers certainly didn't justify the price we agreed on.
Garrett Murray: i gave you those numbers BEFORE you signed
Brian Ball: the fact that we both signed means we agreed. I get that.
Garrett Murray: do you understand who insane you sound to say that they didn't justify the price we agreed on??
Brian Ball: But don't you?
Garrett Murray: you LOOKED AT THEM and THEN sign A CONTRACT
Garrett Murray: i don't get what's confusing
Brian Ball: yes, and so did you.
Brian Ball: In fact, you wrote the contract.
Garrett Murray: if someone said to you, this car has only three wheels, and then you bought it, and then you took it back and said i'm not paying for this, it only has three wheels, people would laugh in your face
Brian Ball: or at least you sent it.
Garrett Murray: you knew what you were buying
Brian Ball: yes, and if someone said.. "but if you can't make the payment, I want the car back."
Brian Ball: actually, "If you don't make the payment, I want the car back."
Brian Ball: you presented the contract.
Brian Ball: that clause made it doable in my mind.
Brian Ball: I can't assume what you meant by it.
Brian Ball: it's just English
---------------------------------------------------
Brian forces the conversation of the topic that Brian sign the contract with the intention of defaulting on it. Strange he offers the idea that he couldn't financially support xPad given the numbers, when he knew before the sale of those numbers.
I find this extremely interesting.
