________________________________________________________________________________ the last status conference in la (january 10, 2000) did not bring any spectacular news. eToys did not drop the lawsuit and did not even reinstall the dns root entries of etoy.com... we expected this to happen. we don't need to hear them talking about a misunderstanding and our wrong style of negotiation. not at all! still: some positive developments were reported by our lawyers. ...etoy is sceptical till we know that eToys sends other people to negotiate than the ones who tried to destroy the art work and infrastructure of the etoy.CORPORATION. to SPECIAL.agents & etoy.FRIENDS world wide! *************************************** thank you for your support! you helped a lot! the e-commerce giant eToys had to move backwards during the last weeks... step by step. this is the result of your efforts! the eToys stock crashed from $ 67 (on the day of the injunction against etoy) to under $20 (initial price) this week: pr damage, legal problems, confusion and agression are not good to sell plastic toys. you can read more than 100 articles on their fight against etoy in the TOYWAR.newsroom or in the press articles scattered on the TOYWAR.battlefiels around the world...(called: war reports) learn more about TOYWAR! make conntact to a registred player on the TOYWAR.front-page... trained TOYWAR.agents will help you. -------------------------------------------------------------------- during the last two weeks we got many emails from people who help to protect the etoy.ART-BRAND. some of you sent emails with concerns about the etoy.MEDIA-STRATEGY. others are desperately waiting for further TOYWAR.orders. here is our first suggestion after a silent period: we had to give our lawyers room to get things together and to convince the court about the fact that we are not just jerks trying to molest innocent children with confusing images and etoy.SHARES. they urged us to stop press communication and further pressure. the deal was to do this for 2 weeks! now it's time to inform you about the situation... our lawyers did a great job and forced the other side to understand that we are serious about our goal to get back the etoy.com domain. etoy announced a 10 years battle till the end of the legal system if this is what eToys wants. at the same time etoy used the attention gap to established TOYWAR.troops around the globe: more than 800 etoy.TOY-AGENTS build an permanent media army of journalists, friends, artists, security experts, spies, media activists, djs and lawyers who observe the enemy 24 hours a day! every move and promotion statement is scanned and discussed in our internal TOYWAR.system. eToys needs to know that there is no chance to cheat or to turn this into a minor misunderstanding about numbers and ways to negotiate. THEY WENT TOO FAR. AND NONE TRUSTS THEM TILL: www.etoy.com is back on the net and till the etoy.SHARES are legalized! TOYWAR.com keeps up pressure! there is no reason to deactivate the tools we established till we have a clear situation and till the damage eToys caused is reversed. on wendsday we transferred 5 etoy.SHARES (etoy.POINTS in TOYWAR) to every soldier (5% of the 64.000 TOYWAR.shares). to reward beta testing and solidarity. (check your TOYWAR.portfolio !) ---HOW CAN YOU HELP ON THIS LEVEL?--- ... we enter the war of nerves ... don't believe the propaganda! it only looks like there is no war anymore! the etoy.com domain is still on hold. nothing really happened. but stay calm. we don't need to drop atomic toy-bombs at the moment. we don't want to destroy our attorney's work. the enemy just has to know that we are still prepared. that's the mission at the moment: *YOU HAVE TO OBSERVE eToys AND REPORT THINGS IN YOUR PERSONAL TOYWAR.briefcase or by using the MEDIA-TOY-BOMB tool (marked with the etoy.SAW logo) INFORM YOUR PERSONAL TROOP AND MEDIA-TOYS ABOUT YOUR WILLINGNESS TO FIGHT IF THERE ARE FURTHER PROBLEMS CAUSED BY eToys. *YOU HAVE TO BUILD A RESISTANCE PAGE AND (OR IF YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE: ) UPLOAD IT TO THE TOYWAR.battlefields. there are already more than 250 resistance pages out there: telling the story of this lawsuit and informing people about TOYWAR.com. *WE ALSO NEED ALL THE ONLINE PRESS ARTICLES PUBLISHED ABOUT THIS TOPIC (YOU FIND PRESS UPLOAD BUTTONS ON THE BATTLEFIELDS AS WELL). you get etoy.SHARES in return for all those activities. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT MISSION IS: the TOYWAR.army has to keep up direct pressure till we know that the other side is really dropping this lawsuit and not just talks about it! THEREFORE WE CALL YOU TO SEND MESSAGES TO eToys AGAIN: TELL THEM TO REINSTALL THE etoy DNS IMMEDIATELY, TO LEGALIZE etoy.SHARE AND TO FIRE THE RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT THEY CAN JUST BULLDOZE OTHERS FROM THE NET! we should all let them know that we are prepared to attack them if they try to manipulate the situation! otherwise they think you turned away after eToys offered to reduce pressure. TELL THEM THAT YOU DON'T ACCEPT PROPAGANDA! JUST FACTS! USE THE BUSINESS-TOY-BOMB FUNCTION ON TOYWAR TO SEND THIS MAILS AND GET SHARES (etoy.POINTS in the us) IN RETURN FOR GOOD MESSAGES. YOU FIND THE TOOL ON THE OFFICIAL BATTLEFIELDS. please: don't mess around. just tell them that you are ready to fight if they don't stop this lawsuit now. WE ARE PRETTY CLOSE ! HELP US PROTECT THE etoy.BRAND AND BECOME A SHAREHOLDER ! thanks for your services! signed: TOYWAR.crisiscontrol / etoy.BOARD ps: more comfortable fighting now possible! new battlefields added. discover further functions & tools (f.e. TOYWAR.radar!) after a 7 days beta test period with pioneers TOYWAR.com is now prepared to accept further agents. outsiders can apply by asking registered players for access (on the front page). ________________________________________________________________________________ no copyright 2000 rolux.org - no commercial use without permission. is a moderated mailing list for the advancement of minor criticism. more information: mail to: majordomo@rolux.org, subject line: , message body: info. further questions: mail to: rolux-owner@rolux.org. archive: http://www.rolux.org
