pops117: "Truth is the consensus of opinion... or something" sorry I've been playing too much Penumbra lately :P
To be honest, if Jochen really gets through on his attempts at sueing you, a WWF lawyer would really come in handy ;)
But if I were you I wouldn't get so much involved, his deeds and his project are already collapsing under his feet.

I will wait 3 hours. If I got my sue, I'll call him.
Or else I'll depend the number of posts on my decision.
Protip: I'll reconsider to Stonebro's,cogadh's, bansama
bansama's, Delixe's and michaelleung's posts at most.

Narushima: Here's yet another interview : http://sixtyfpsorbust.tumblr.com/post/635687639/give-whatever-you-want-controversy-an-interview-with
I say, it's not very gentlemanly to portray the man in his full English language amateurship. The man may not be the most reliable on Earth, but everyone deserves a fair trial.

Tantrix: No, it's the correct way. Any other correction from the interviewer could be count as subjective interpretation. If Kolbe isn't able to find a decent English writer, it's his own fault.

I did not express myself clearly enough, sorry.
I didn't mean that the writer should rewrite Jochen's responses, but that he should not point out his language weakness so obviously and displaying the fact that he had to repeat his questions to be understood.
If you make an interview, you don't publish the question where the answer is "huh ?". That's basic journalism, and the writer would have never done that for somebody else. Here he is just beating a dead horse, and as I said, that's not the nicest thing you can do.
Edit : oh and Tantrix, stop worrying about a lawsuit, that will never happen. He has absolutely no way of telling who you are, and even if that were the case, what law did you break ? None !
When I e-mailed Child's Play and The EFF about this, I gave them all the links that can be found here and explained the situation. You should do the same

I just read Jochen's latest entry at the Indie Games Blog:
http://www.indiegames.com/blog/2010/05/givewhateveryouwant_indie_game.html#comment-887001
I have no idea what he's been reporting you to the police for this time, but it sure as hell is additional idiocy on his behalf. So now I say: Release an unholy sh*tstorm upon him, he obviously doesn't want it any other way.
EDIT: On the other hand, if you do get involved in the WWF business, maybe that could actually bring you in the middle of it. Damn, I don't know, man.

Tantrix, I would just send links to all relevant public information to do with this to the WWF if they ask for it. But I wouldn't get any more involved than that. The WWF are a huge entity and if this were to get any more legal, they can handle it themselves.
Which they probably may well do, as they I seem to recall them being very protective of their identity. They even went after the WWF (Wresting Federation) IIRC. Slightly different circumstances, but it shows they don't take these things all that lightly.
"Aber f�r Tantrix wird es teuer wenn wir seien Identit�t gefunden haben. Sehr teuer. Da gibt es einen sch�nen Paragraphen im BGB der ihn sch�n zur Kasse bitten wird. ^^"
"But it will be really expensive for Tantrix once we know his idendity. Really expensive. There will be a pretty paragraph in the BGB who will call him to checkout quickly. ^^"
I feel my hand on my phone. Not out of fear but out of being really pissed right now.

Seriously, I doubt there is anything he can sue you over. But if you're that worried, don't do anything out anger. Simply seek some legal advice from a law firm/solicitors, citizens advice bureau or whatever similar institutions you have in Germany.

That only shows he is really frustrated and pissed off, nothing else. So it is more important for you to act in a chilly manner. Send them the links, they can get an idea of the situation by itself and can decide what to do.

I am not worried about myself but rather about my family. He says he'll "trace my IP". Well maybe he found my address for whatever reason, but what if he sues someone with the wrong name?
I see a yellow letter from the German Regional Council of my brother, and I see a huge DinA4 letter from a attorney's office directed to my Stepmother.
What if one of them is about the complaint?
I don't want them to get involved in this sick game! And the way Jochen threatens me already reached the boarder of malicious trolling.

lackoo1111: but how ???

That's what he said in one of the private messages on the German board.
He said something of "I'll request the bots(I am not sure if he meants mods) to keep your account here" and "I'll trace your IP and you'll get trouble soon"....
It's been 3 days for now. No answer and stuff, but fuck it's still thrilling.
Do you all live in fiction land ?
That man is never ever going to take any legal action, that's just bullshit to look important !
I'm sure we can arrange a 'pay-whatever-you-want for Tantrix's legal defence fund' scheme.
