Hasbro is suing these Indian guys. They made an application, and so did Hasbro, so now the big guys are trying to squash the little guys. It's the age old story; I'm sure most of us have used it a time or two in our own campaigns.

This is the moment of truth.

I do not speak on behalf of the Guild when I say this, but as a human being with goals, dreams, and aspirations to do something with my life.

I have been playing D&D for years. I know we all have bought at least a hundred RPG publications, games, or supplements from Hasbro over the years. Try and add it up for yourself. Now figure that most of us have spent similar money.

I am broke as a joke right now. It's not even funny. It's scary.

I just got in touch with Wizards of the Coast Corporate email in order to work with them in connection to publish WFR-oriented content with the d20 mechanics logo, through my own personal business endeavor with my long-time friend [Torr-maat]. They have given me good replies, and I am awaiting more news.

Now I, like you may be currently, have learned that Hasbro - the makers of Scrabble - are suing these two Indian applications creators (a craftsperson like you or I) in stead og working with them legitimately and ethically in order to better negotiate a method of keeping Scrabulous alive. It mainly has to do with the fact that Hasbro is ALSO releasing an online version of Scrabble, which would mean that THEY MIGHT LOSE PROFITS. O.o

Let me tell you something, Hasbro. I have bought your products for years, and must continue to do so, in order to stay current in my creative field. Don't you DARE tell me that you are willing to squash the little guy for your own benefit, or you will see heinous results!

Now, having said my piece:

I am approaching all moderators of the Guild, as well as those who are willing to listen.

The time is now. If you ever had a dream, if you ever wanted to be something more than you are, and if you have EVER studied ANYTHING to do with business ethics, stand with me now.

To Hasbro: I have purchased your products, and will continue to do so, but if you hurt these Indian boys, I will NEVER play scrabble again... I will NEVER play an online version of Scrabble made by Hasbro... And I will do everything I can to make sure that your profits fail miserably in the face of independent adversity.

We as people are allowed to aspire. Give us an outlet, give us a say, give us back our spending power. We are humans too.

I do not yet speak for the Guild, but the Guild must know. This is not the time to say that it doesn't matter, because it DOES, and it IS important to defend what you believe. I believe that this is corporate insanity at its finest.

To Hasbro: if you want your marketing campaign for 2008 to succeed, you will act in an ethical manner, or you will have the WFR Guild Members acceptance, appreciation, and wealth no longer.

If you are not a member of Facebook.com, I do not encourage you to join a new site that you would not otherwise join. But if you ARE a member, please access the following application, and sign the petition to Save Scrabulous:

http://apps.facebook.com/save_scrabulous/

Keep watch for more updates. Those of you who have my email, please stay in touch. Guild Knights, you are being called to arms. We are defending the People this time, and it could get gruesome.

Best wishes,
-will

2008-01-19 [Firous]: As a moderator and a Guild Knight I will stand. I am not a member of facebook but if there is any other way to help let me know and I'll walk the path.

2008-01-20 [xido]: Thank you. Noted and appreciated. Please continue to act in an ethical manner, and we will make a proper stance in respect of our potential business clientele.

It is my opinion that this is a moment where Hasbro and Mattel are in a position to do the right thing. I certainly hope that they do.
