But why does that imply it's short term? The deal looks fine as it is to my mind - rake off plenty of the below-the-line profit year on year, with luck the investment will appreciate.

Simply off of how VC works. They do not do short term. They do do pump and dump, but they don't do short term.

Also, due to the Modus Operandi of VC, it would actually be counterproductive to have a laissez-faire policy when it comes to your investment. Typically, these firms require controlling interest for the terms of investment so they can call all the shots

These firms also won't wait forever to make profits. This is especially true when the company's profits are in the red with their cash flow also being in the red.

Would something happen in less than a year? Unlikely.

But...18-24 months out? Looks more likely given the circumstances. "Revenge...is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion."- Jeremy Taylor

Then we are largely in agreement. Of course they can call the shots - I just don't think they will in the short term as it increases the risk too much.
Then again, I'm only talking about 12- 18 months, so that's not contrary to what you're saying.

I wouldn't bet against them training up a parallel team of devs in China, for a number of reasons. I would want odds though lol

If that is what you want to think to help you feel better, then by all means think that.

You are implying that this is not the case? please elaborate.

What is even being discussed now?

The response to a response to a response to my post about how its impractical and probably not going to eventuate in Jagex being moved to China.

So the thread did take a tumble down unicorn valley where the beautiful topless eleven maidens roam free and the trees talk.

Only when Fifi and D4 ran out of ideas, then it was meta arguing.


Only when Tclcis ran out of logical counter-argument so decided to brand any propositions at odds with his own and cannot envisage such possibilities.

Stoat this is a measurement fight. I currently have the most supporting evidence so I am undoubtedly winning.
Really? Like what?
The outcome means nothing as you said, the future is unpredictable.


Fifi, most people make friends with their work colleagues.
Data source??? (Other than your own opinion).
If you are ruthless in this regard, doesn't mean everyone else is.
If you are over-friendly in this regard, doesn't mean everyone else is either. You have no evidence whatsoever if Jagex employees are "friends" with anyone, or not. There is a big difference between business acquaintance and friendship.


Id be careful where the naming and shaming/defamation of people with no evidence.
What on earth are you talking about?? Are you seeing things??



Speculating that it would indeed cost a fair bit of money, and time is far different to speculating how much. Twisting words to suit your own means wont help you.
I haven't twisted any words at all. I stated that I believe the majority of your posts to be mere speculation and not fact.


Yes. I am not surprised you did not respond to any of my points and chose to dismiss all as "silly".

However, since you are "warning" me that I have named, shamed and defamed people without evidence - could you kindly direct me to the post where I did that?

It's quite an accusation and I'd like to check out my conduct?

I think you're being a little unfair fifi. In a effort to measure the future more accurately, telcis has given himself an enema of clever-sounding sentence fragments which he has then **** all over this thread.
For which I admire him. I can do the tarot and read the tealeaves but this is is really groundbreaking stuff.

In the circumstances, expecting a cogent response is indeed silly.

Not sure what you're getting at with the next bit. I would have taken that as a slap on the back

Yes. It certainly does become and issue when I am accused of naming, shaming and defaming people, and my accuser provides no evidence of this.

And responds to entirely polite points with a blanket response of "silly".

Mmm-hmmm.

I'm not saying that either side is right or wrong.

It is just an observation based on what I skimmed through. (Sorry there is a 0% chance that I will fully read the posts made in the last 24 hours) And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

Oh easily, in my case.

I'm so bored with the whole thing my brain is starting to melt whilst reading it, so I don't think I'll actually bother from here on in. In any event, it's ALL just pure speculation as to what might or might not happen and, as such, entirely meaningless.

However, I sorely wish to discover who it is I am supposed to have wronged so badly.
