Suddenly the US Airforce is sponsor of the MOTY 2008. It even looks like it is the main sponsor now being presented and praised on all the official award pages with big shiny logos and long promotional introductions.The MOTY 2008 is not just sponsored by the US Airforce now... no it is "presented by the US Airforce". The headlines of the news and all other articles have new colors now (based on the colors used on the US Airforce logo) and somehow the other sponsors became less important. Ok sti…

This portal has been created based on very clear principles. Not to support military or political questions here does belong to those priciples.We are gamers... carelessly of our nation, skin or religion. Only that matters here. Supporting an event that gets sponsored by the US military is a matter I can not agree with (based on all the wrongs they have done - and there it does not matter if they did it by order or not). I dont want to see a CF mod presentation which starts with "presented by t…

the discusion between me and the moddb administration (Quote)

yeah - half of the modders agree that its a crap sponsor... the other part disagrees (mainly US militaries from what they have claimed)

im discussing this issue with the moddb staff nowand no other solution can be found i will pull CF out of the MOTY

its not about what computer companies have done and its also not every single incident that the military has doneits about the try of the military to gain influence in the gaming world when SWAT was created the founders agreed that no national politics will be in any way connected with the portal... the moty would break our rules and principles

i might repeat it againI dont want to see a US AIRFORCE logo infront of my mod... and i dont want SWAT being in any way aligned with a national military organisation at the day this will happen... i will close the portal and sell the domain as i would have broken my principles

im in contact with the moddb staff but discussions run slowit is not clear if it is possible to get the airforce stuff removed (from the mod if being awarded and from the news and final presentation as its always connected with the awarded mods)I still have no clear answer to it... but if its not possible for moddb to treat the airforce like an ordinary sponsor then further discussions about this topic get useless since SWAT has to pull out of the moddbbut as it looks now the moty and everythin…

magnetand where will the winning mods presented? where are the top100 presented?on the MOTY sites ... together with the airforce crap @hourhow should i knowthere is absolutly no information about that but based on the general presentation and the way it was done last year I can only imagine that the worst case conditions will come true and yeah - best mod gets a free trip to Iraq ... the 2nd best to Quantanamo Bay

and believe me... spiky said the same when he joined BG

and it was the best combat training you can get

i will not argue about the goods that are donebut how much good is needed to even with the bads? I worry more about the methods being used than about the reasons and i worry about the reactions that came from the "pro airforce" faction. Many comments where very nationalism like... many full of insults against people with other oppinions. Many people which were against the airforce in this discussion have been able to explain their reasons very well... including the use of facts and correcting f…
