    Part of any legitimate claim in this regard would be the ability to occupy or defend the territory. Since this buffoon can do neither, his claim is invalid, almost as invalid as the neural capacity of any fucking moron who goes around being called "Lord British".

    Shhh! As long as he's defending his claim, he won't be making any more shitty, shitty games.

  3. I'm so sick of Garriot. ENOUGH! by Zaphod+The+42nd · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Can we stop giving this guy attention? He's hardly worth all the celebrity and admiration he seems to be getting lately (and likely seeking for himself). He made a few crap games back when nobody knew how to make MMORPGs yet, and capitalized on it, made a fortune, and HASN'T MADE A SINGLE DECENT GAME SINCE.

    Now just cuz his dad was a TRUE astronaut, he bought his way into space with his ridiculous riches and he expects to be looked up to? Going around on talk shows acting like he's the talk of the town?

    Now THIS? Okay, I'm done. I never want to hear about Richard Garriot again. He hasn't done anything worth respecting.

    Well, if you want to place this game, the Lord can pound luna soil. The American's landed and placed a national Flag on the surface of the moon. So technically, it's property of the USA.
