The money that will be collected will of course only be used for costs directly related to running the website and the forums.
The team is going to create a contract for all team members to vote on and sign to specify how the money will be used and how it will be dispensed at the end of the life of the mod. We would prefer to dispense with donations and ads all together, but we do have expenses related to the forums and will have expenses in the future in regards to domain name, hosting, bandwidth, software, etc. We have requested information, and copies of records, however Tyr has of yet not been forthcoming on this issue. We are uncertain if any abuses were committed, but it is something that concerns us. The Rome: Total Realism development team is concerned about how the former project director Tyr was administering funds from donations and ad revenues. He compares himself to Hitler and discusses the importance of rhetoric: Here's the thread on the site being shut down: įor a funny read, here's a log of him explaining his actions on AIM: I think he's 16 years old or something, so he's basically just throwing a tantrum.
Today, he shut down the website and put it up for sale at $1,500 dollars without the team's knowledge in an effort to cripple the community and destroy the mod that he "helped" to create.
At that point, he agreed to step down and hand the reins over to one of the mod seniors. He was basically kicked out of the RTR group a couple of weeks ago in a coup d'etat by the modding team who considered him useless and even detrimental to the development of the project, due to certain issues with him stealing donation money (though this is difficult to prove). Now, I don't know if you guys follow the RTR mod for Rome Total War, but suffice to say it's got an excellent community and a healthy dev group producing it, all except for a guy named Tyr, who used to be the mod 'leader', not that he did anything, of course.
