Smart Parts Aquired!

[cockerpunk]

Nobody said they're window shopping, but they also haven't closed the deal yet. There is zero chance that this group is the only one interested in acquiring something like HALF of the paintball industry.

bingo.

maybe fizzle fry can't read the acutal article, but steve has clearly stated both in the article, and in many threads that the deal HAS NOT BEEN FINALIZED. WHITE HATS DOES NOT OWN ANYTHING SP YET. they merely have secured the credit to make an offer.

that means this thing is no differen then the 5 odd other attempts by banks, and other paintball companies to bring SP back. NO DIFFERENT other then someone is affilated with a media outlet, and thus can freak everyone out and build hype by saying they did it (which they didn;t even acutally say either)

also, frizzle, reported. pretty pethetic post.

Bring El Tigre and Black Lotus back please, thanks new guys... we gotta hope for the best in what's happening, because all of these assets are going to go to someone. Just hope its someone not worth a pile of... dancing nanners.

And on a side note, I am just about as interested to see how far the flaming will go in this thread as I am new, legitimate answers... page 3 is awesome so far!

Bulldog (BD) states:

"The thread on MCB is a real rumor mill as well. I guess no one read the part where it says "in negotiations to purchase". They haven't bought anything yet. At this point anyone could be "in negotiations" to purchase SP even me! "

Followed by:

Newraceowner:
"That's it!! I'm starting the rumor that BD is buying SP!!! everyone meet me over on PBN to fan the flames!! LOL"

Lets not be seletively reading anything- We're not a bunch of PBN idiots.

I'm sorry, maybe you have some special Cockerpunk-Edition dictionary in which the word "acquire" is defined as "window shop"?

I guess I'd forgotten your oft-mentioned "credentials" (your words not mine) that consist of meeting and having your picture taken with Tom Kaye (that's not an endorsement, pal...) and "publishing" videos to Youtube along with thousands of injured car-surfers, wannabe rappers and drunk beerpong players. You'll have to excuse me for not bowing to the clearly superior knowledge of a student who as of a few years ago was just some kid begging for people to donate barrels for a cockamamie barrel "test" that didn't account for temperature or humidity. It's been made clear through recent posts here that you rarely look into the things that you comment so authoritatively on, nor do you have the necessary real world experience to fully understand the things that I'm sure you've just learned in class and are applying to paintball applications.

Here are some Merriam-Webster definitions that might be helpful to you in the future:

transitive verb
1: to get as one's own: a : to come into possession or control of often by unspecified means b : to come to have as a new or added characteristic, trait, or ability

credentials noun
2(plural): testimonials or certified documents showing that a person is entitled to credit or has a right to exercise official power

adjective
1: exaggerating or disposed to exaggerate one's own worth or importance often by an overbearing manner

overreact much?

overreact much?

My tolerance level for that pretentious loudmouth has been worn down to almost nothing over the last few years, and judging by the PMs I received last night (both volume and content) I'm not by any means the only one.

My tolerance level for that pretentious loudmouth has been worn down to almost nothing over the last few years, and judging by the PMs I received last night (both volume and content) I'm not by any means the only one.

intersting, since every accusation against me about "not reading" and "not knowing enough to comment" and being "pretentious loudmouth" is exactly the situtation you find yourself in. you clearly did not read the article nor are invloved enough in the conversation to see what Steve has personally said.

ignornace is bliss right?

sometimes, being facturally correct is boring. not nearly as much fun as a "who dun it?"

and until we know that someone has bought the IP, it makes little difference to me. just add one more name to the list of poeple known to be interested. whomever white hats are, they still dont have the IP, and have covered there tracks well. though if you want to point the "pretentious" finger at anyone, i'd point it at the guys who call themselves paintball's "white hats" ... but thats just me.

If you look at the time stamps and the edited article (i.e. the one from the 20th that stated "IP acquired" on which this thread was based, and the edited one from the 22nd that corrected the first one) you might understand where I was coming from, but you were a little late to the party... I've read all of the articles, including the two that were locked/delted after it was found that they weren't accurate.

I'm not pretentious, I just have very little tolerance for children who don't learn their lesson or use logic and reason when opportunities to do so are presented time and time again. Hostile little know-it-alls who think that the degree they haven't actually earned yet counts for something and insist on self promotion and degradation at every turn tend to piss me off. Frankly I have no idea why the few people and forums who put up with your BS continue to put up with your BS.

so you missed the part where white hats had clearly NOT aquired SP or the SP's IP and thus my post of

a company that so far has only insisted that they are interested and have some money, not that they have purchased anything acutally. k, add this company to the list of interested parties in that IP ...

is still 100% accurate?

sounds pretty logical and reasonable to me ... we know someone else wants the IP ... cool. who, what there intentions are, and if they actually will get the IP is totally speculation, as TK even pointed out!



as to the second paragraph, no idea where that is comming from. havn't brought up my college degree (which i have earned, and its not in law so it doesn't help me in this thread), haven't said i knew anything more than anyone else (in fact, pointed out the opposite), have not insulted or flammed anyone, nor mocked them in any sort of way.

i have no idea what your pissed about.

Isn't this annoucment premature in the first place seeing as the Courts have NOT accepted the pending petition to change the filing from Chap 11 to Chap 7? Or would this sale then make that petition null and void?

I think whoever the "White Hats" could be used the situation to try and inflate thier position making it harder for another 'deep pocket' entity to enter the fray. It has been said in other forums that there are several principals in negotiation for the same asset package that WH LLC is alleged to have 'exclusive rights'.

Again.. I am fascinated by the discussion on this and other forums. MCB has closed the thread on the subject because it has turned in to wild speculation, acusation and flames, as I assume this thread will be soon to.

I for one am going to pop a cold one, sit back and watch the show.

this thread already got to that point.

im down for a cold one, but i got called a luandry list of names for no reason, was compelled to defend myself. the sad thing, the very post where i said this is all speculation and that we don't actuually know anything, is the ones that was attacked.

idk, im still confused about it. when in doubt though, find a bar. thats what i suggest to everyone right now.
