For the time being, looks like that rat bastard Polish scumbag Ausir (who I love to bits, of course) is winning, which is disconcerting because it effectively means nobody wins. So... what do we do if an admin wins? Someone's gotta get THE PRIZE!, don't they?

Win? Oh no, Interplay aren't dead yet. You just wait and watch.

"Win? Oh no, Interplay aren't dead yet. You just wait and watch."

There's supposed to be a big meeting at Interplay on Friday (4/23). The employees are going to find out if they are getting their backpay or not.

Stories going through the grapevine said that Herve tried to sell Interplay to Vivendi this week and got laughed out of the building for the price that he was asking.

I expect Interplay to close its doors tomorrow (4/23) at least for development, and file for bankruptcy soon after.

What grapevine might this be? Not that I doubt you, Caen has always said that he won't "firesell" Iply, but a source would be nice. I'll give'em a nickle.

There's always been a lot of grapevine when Interplay is concerned, that's for sure. Seems like they have had problems with employee loyalty. I wonder why. Huh!

I think those doors are supposed to be chained and locked tomorrow also because of the back rent thing.

so ? is it dead or what ? what sort of event are you waiting to declare iply death ?
dissapearing from the stock market ? losing all their instalations ? losing all their employees ? owing more than 10 times what the company is worth ? ppl commiting suicide ? another company buying the fallout license ? the goverment closing them down for tax/not paying their employees ? Herve turning into "The Master" while creating ping-pong crazed super-mutants ? what ? some of these things already happened

So, seeing that Interplay is actually still alive, are the bets still on?

Well, it never officially went bankrupt and has been continously run by Herve. I don't think that really counts as death.

Herve is probably reading the Codex and has been laughing silly for the past 4 years.

That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.

FOOL won't be released in 2009. They need to have the money and start the development by April 2009, but they have to release it before April 2013. See:

It's possible, especially if they don't gather the required $30M to retain the Fallout Online license.

Wait, since the world ends 12/21/2012, does that mean that no one wins the bet due to a technicality? "Act of God", perhaps?

World ends in the beginning of October.
But I doubt that even a supernova will stop Herve.
