Before i start , i wont reveal my identity , but for now , just call me Sherlock .



So i went to investigate who this so called "Tasos Flambouras" is. I used google to see what s coming up and after much investigation: the name is FAKE !!

So does he exist ? what is going ON HERE ??



Look here :

"FLAMBOURAS

Results from Genealogy Today databases

No matching records were found.  Try another search"



Well, it didnt suprise me really , but i didnt give up yet .

So i hit the "Try another search button " and guess what ??

I got the SAME RESULT !



After some head scratching my alarm bells rang .

I did a google search again and i came across another gem:



http://www.fallingrain.com/world/GR/0/Flambouras.html



This fictive person used a town in Greece to pick his name omg.

the mystery gets deeper and deeper , "you re on to something sherlock" i said to myself as adrenaline pumped through my body.



And he s the final nail in  the coffin :

THEY EVEN STOLE THE NAME OF THEIR GAME !



Now with all the proof i just showed you , how can you people still believe this isnt vaporware?



Strange indeed , strange indeed.....

    if DF was a practical joke why make it last 5 years and go through all the trouble... for free.

    yeah. trolls are failing because it isn't practical. some time some day DF will probably release, either now or in the next 10 years, it doesn't matter if it sucks or not but it will most likely go live.

    What I can't believe is that Athens is a large city and there's bound to be a Greek poster or two here on the forums.

    I 'm shocked that no one has yet thought of actually going there and checking out whats going on.

    ... and the summer is coming... if yer going to Athens to check out the Parthenon don't forget to take your spy camera with you and take a pic or two of one of the greatest mysteries of the modern world - Aventurine SA.

    Wow great job, useless digging on useless information. I know you were mocking my OP and you think Darkfall actually exists. At least my information had meaning and evidence and motive...

    Not to mention your excellent skills at using Google Earth. Have you considered a career in CIA?

    lol made my day mate. That was good.

    Reminds me of that one South Park episode with the terrorist and the CIA busts in Stans room and uses ever day sites like Google and Map Quest for their investigation lol, good stuff.

    Put some effort into real investigation.  However, I doubt you have the balls to do so.  There is a chance you might be wrong, and apparently the penalty for that is being mocked.

    We have better things to do with our lives? Seriously if u pay me for my time the same money my employer does i can check out adventurine's adress for u

     You can't rule out a person's name like that. Actually his name is quite "Greeky"

    On the other hand now... it is very alarming the fact that there was or still is a product which is a software under the same name, and also being produced within  EU. This company, Flashpoint AG, can very well demand royalties, or even force them to change their name. Of course there is no actual product, and as we know, courts cant rule on vapors :p

    I would not be very worried if I was Flashpoint A.G.

    How can vaporware have secured an old and well respected European publisher, that announced to its stock holders that it would be distributing a game called Darkfall?

    That game was released in 2002, long after Darkfall was in the works for the first time (though the game was totally reworked in 2003). If you search online there've been documentation of Aventurine securing copyrights on the game's name. I swear these trolls...

  • ddevddev Member Posts: 165

     You mean, the vaporware?

    Because the real one must have been circulating a lot earlier than 2002 (hint: win95,win98) :p

    So, what is it then? the game started or not in 2003?

    Aventurine or Razorwax copyrighted it?

    We are confused here...

    They announced that they consider a deal with Aventurine to distribute online games in Europe. No mention of Darkfall. Nothing more than that. Aventurine still claims that they are self-publishing Darkfall.

     

    And AVE is no "old and well respected European publisher". What they do is distribute movie DVD and VHS in Greek video clubs. Nothing compared to ...Eidos or Ubisoft, like the DF fans try to believe.

    First of all, AVE IS NO well respected European publisher.

    It's a Greek distributing company that distributes dvds and pr0n in video shops 

    What's that gotta do with respect and old, I m not sure I understand, however I do realize your connection with Aventurine and concern..

    On the matter of securing cooperation, well, an MoU means nothing solid, it can break anytime while on a coffee break or when on the toillet while crapping
