A secret global conspiracy of game developers that control society?
August 11th 2001, 13:38 CEST by Tommy I am not sure if this deserves its own topic (<i>it does - mr0n the phantom ed</i>) but as a common lurker I didn't feel I could just drop it carte blanche into whatever topic thread was currently underway. A friend told me about this site: <a href="http://www.gameilluminati.com">http://www.gameilluminati.com</a> That is apparently a members only bulletin board. You cannot access it without a password. Apparently it is 'invitation only' for industry people. Beyond the password members enter a holy grail of mature discussions and non- flaming objective discussions about the merits of games, as debated by an elite few. Interestingly enough, this board is registered to a one George Broussard, he of 3D Realms fame. Unfortunately, I myself work for a Publisher and am hence patently evil, so will no doubt never get to feast on the intellectual riches within (it's for developers who have shipped titles only). I would be interested to know if loyal PlanetCrappers from the development side have been exposed to the joys of www.gameilluminati.com and if so, if perhaps they could 'illuminate' us on the merits of this site? Is this a joyous site, protecting true captains of the industry and allowing them a safe haven for discourse? Or is this a dangerous and subversive, insidious form of elitism that harms us all? Could www.gameilluminati.com spell the end of our honorable PlanetCrap (<i>No! Never! - mr0n the phantom ed</i>)? Will we see gamesbiz professionals flee in search of greener, safer pastures yonder? Please Comment and discuss. Me, I'm just fascinated and nosey. |

Oh, come now. Your credibility at playing dumb is totally non-existent now. Especially in this thread. Your cover is blown! La Resistance, lives on! Look! I posted at #45... AND now at #50!! Two FIVES! Don't you see??!?! Don't expect me to believe that you are my puppet. I'm far too clever for that. *ahem* On a serious note: if you are serious about not knowing, and are serious about wanting to, email me. Otherwise, don't fuck with Mr. Zero. Resistance is futile. Ninety-threeeeeeeeee, biznatch! |
|
ouch, maybe I should actually read the posts first. :-) |
|
So it's true! The Texas Gaming Mafia is related to the Illuminati. |
|
And just like that, Warren's out. |
|
DIBS ON HIS CHAIR!!!!!! SCORE!!! Okay, now I just need to turn and face Bavaria while bleeding the virgin goat, and we're all set. |

Canadian Game Developer Dies in Freak Accident RALEIGH, NC -- Canadian developer Warren Marshall was killed today when a piano fell on him. "Don't blame me, I was walking my dog when all three cables critical to the suspension of the classic 1928 Blunther Grand Piano were cut," George Broussard said. |

/\ / \ / \ / (O) \ / \ --------- Get it? It's a pyramid with the all-seeing eye? Get it? AHAHAHAHAHA HA HA -shai (of course, mr0n's formatting stuff will probably gank those spaces anyway, and THEN who will look like a fool?) |
|
Hey jafd.. Lay off the crack. And I have to disagree with your web address based on how you present yourself. Not too brilliant. |
|
In a topic about the Illuminati, I'm being chastised for not being serious? oooooohkay. What you clearly don't realize, is that I greatly enjoy it when sheople, such as yourself, identify the value that I have to offer as being valuless. Such gifts as I have to share are not for such as you. It's a big timesaver, really, except when I'm feeling lazy and am participating in a wholly ludicrous discussion and decide to expend the energy to explain what ought to be self-evident. You... you... you have LOWERED my PRODUCTIVITY! Expect snakes. |
|
And just like that, Warren's out. Damn, busted. :( |
|
#60: It's okay. Just hit F5 and you're the cabin boy again, no harm, no foul. |

This whole thread would've been better if my pyramid had turned out. -shai |

This whole thread would've been better if my pyramid had turned out. Don't worry, I already found a hidden pyramid on my Diablo 2 box. |

jafd = ? (1) Mr. Circumlocution (2) Mr. Mixed Metaphor (3) Mr. "If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit." (4) Mr. "It's amazing how these drugs make such huge planks in my reasonable speech shatter to bits." |

I'd ask George for a login & pass (just to check it out) but I think the odds of getting a hands-on preview of DNF would be better. :) |
|
#67: Oh dear. I had been trying ever so hard to make a good impression on people just like you. Perhaps I had better go huff more glue, then perhaps I'll be as clever and insightful as you are. Which brand do you use? |
|
With a name like Game Illuminati its bound to get up people's olfactory organs, it's one step away from pointing and laughing at folk while saying "I'm better than you! I'm better than you!" in a girly voice. Anyway it's just a front, GeorgeB has just released ancient screenshots of it to members, and in a few months they'll decide to re-write what they have in perl. --- Who holds back the electric car? Who makes John Romero a star? We do! We do! |
|
"I'm better than you! I'm better than you!" In the context of creating games? Well, duh. |
|
I have to agree with jafd: They *are* better than the people who don't have access at making games. That's why they're professionals. -shai |
|
Well, of course. (see jafd & shai's posts) they are the developers, and if they want to have an insider forum, I think they are more than welcome to. im not sure if anyone has touched on this before (gah, the whole reading the threads thing again) but is this whole story spawned out of the fact that a publisher tried to gain membership and he was rejected? |
|
Does your mullet have a separate login and pass George? --jmc |

woooooo! gg The All-Seeing Eye |

YAY! -shai |

Hmm Doom 3 will come out for Xbox as well... And HALLEFUCKINLUJAH Trent Reznor is doing the score. --jmc |
|
I'd prefer Goldsmith or Christopher Young. :) |
|
It's probably just a place where they pat each other on the back and talk about how they're so perfect and we're all a bunch of ungrateful cunts. That's not good reading if you ask me. |
|
That's not good reading if you ask me. That'd be because you're an ungrateful cunt. |
|
Hmm.. Thief II sits on my desk, begging to be played. Should I install it and try it out? I'm a big fan of Deus Ex, and any kind of immersive FPS experience, so is it worth it? -- Dethstryk Thought Coma |

/me measures the gap Yep, no way a live, whole human could fit through there /me steps through |
|
Toad It's probably just a place where they pat each other on the back and talk about how they're so perfect and we're all a bunch of ungrateful cunts. That's not good reading if you ask me. Glad you've got it all figured out and aren't just jumping to a stupid conclusion while having no facts. |
|
*Pats Warren on the back* |
|
*panics and wonders why Preacher is behind him* |
|
No need to panic, Warren. It's Preacher, not Catholic Priest ;-) |
|
They *are* better than the people who don't have access at making games. That's why they're professionals. So call it gameprofessionals.com, "Illuminati" has negative secret society type connotations whichever way you look at it. Should I install it and try it out? I'm a big fan of Deus Ex, and any kind of immersive FPS experience, so is it worth it? Yes. |
|
No need to panic, Warren. It's Preacher, not Catholic Priest ;-) Of course, if it were "Preacher Boy" you'd maybe do well to panic doubly. |
|
So call it gameprofessionals.com, "Illuminati" has negative secret society type connotations whichever way you look at it. There's a secret handshake and everything. |
|
Upon seeing some of the reactions to the "secret" dev board, it reminds me of a Simpsons quote -- "Why don't they let me in their crappy club for jerks!!" -- Homer, "The Stonecutters" If they want a private forum, sure -- I can't say I'm not curious about it, but then again it isn't meant for me - I'm not a game developer by any means.

"Illuminati" has negative secret society type connotations whichever way you look at it. Whichever way? Well, not if you are illuminated, duuuuuuuumbass! Too funny. It is as though the trolls are flaming themselves with extra amounts of reckless Abbadon in this thread. |
|
hmm, one of those doors that won't open right now. Who wants to make a new door? |
|
There's a secret handshake and everything. I've got a book of all the secret masonic handshakes and other ritual type stuff kicking about somewhere, not nearly as interesting as people think. Whichever way? Well, not if you are illuminated, duuuuuuuumbass! You've entirely missed the point, I'm merely suggesting why people are reacting the way they have. |
|
Warren: You dun wanna know.... |
|
#95: If that's the case, you're right, the appellation 'dumbass' doesn't apply to you, in spite of your chosen nom de plume. However, I steadfastly maintain that anyone who looks at this story and thinks, "Wow! That sucks, what a bunch of assholes!" is not a "people." Not human. Just an animal with a mind they can't or won't use. By the way, if you actually do have such a book in your possession, and you... *gasp*... don't even know where it is, take steps. You're being monitored. |

I think Tommy Shaw said it best when he first heard about Dennis DeYoungs Mr. Roboto theater concert Idea... "Da fuck?" Trying to care about secret BBS board....trying.....trying.....failing.....failing..... So they have their own playground. I swear, people go out of their way to be offended by something.
