AdvoGraf: At full trottle into the grit
Michael Schumacher, the popular Ferrari race driver, queues to the squad of
admonishers. He considers the domain
michas-formel1-site.de,
carried by Michael "Micha" Stanka, to violate his name rights.
AdvoGraf smugly wrote: "At first the questions is, which part of name
is to be violated, cause "Michael" rather is a collective term for male
Germans than an individual identity feature - and to call someone Michael
"Micha" neither is much inventive nor seldom. And that the Ferrari pilot has
"Formel 1" for his second (first) name at least was hidden from the author, up to now."

Publication of data of the game BATTLE
Marco Frischkorn writes:
After considering the issue I have decided to publish a part of the data and of the texts of the suspended game BATTLE. Originally the texts of "The great NewsPaper" should be complemented each week to bypass the time until the game has published. Furthermore it was meant as a introducing story.
The story itself represents a small part of the things which you had experienced in the introduction and later in the game itself. Should I meet my former graphicer then I will try to get some Whiteboards for the introsequences.
Furthermore there is a small choice of graphics of the game respectivly of its parts. You can also find screenshots of one or another tool. As soon as I will find a little bit more time I will also add some comments to the most important pictures.
If anybody should ask for the source code...NO WAY!
And now have fun with the things you can find here!

After a long time, aros.org is back :-) So undo all your bookmarks,
CVS entries and mail addresses and point them back to aros.org. Until this
happens again, that is... I'm still working on it, though ! I hope that

the site on which aros.org runs in the next few months.
