Unofficial HL2DM Division

[Macaroni]

Seeing that at least Bleed V and I enjoy Half-Life 2 Deathmatch, I thought we could start a group for it. This is a eGO (clan, not rank) group only. If you like HL2DM and are in the clan, join. I might post various announcements, events, etc. about games we can play together.

This is the new one.

If i were you I would send a pm to the council about this and see if they would be interested in gettting into the game

 

[Macaroni]

I wasn't trying to get an official DM division going, I just wanted to create a more efficient way to communicate with fellow clanmembers for the purpose of playing Deathmatch. Thanks for joining by the way.

 

[Newman]

yea, np i haven't played dm in a while so i figured that i might as well start up again. Also for this you should try to get people to play hl2 ctf also

hey algebra, did you ask the council first? you cant actually use the clan's name in anything else w/out there permission

For the third or fourth time, before GGVW sees this please remove the group or any association it has with eGO. This is a really big thing that will get you in trouble. The TM on the end of our names states that this name is a trademark and you must have permission from the holder to use it. You have only been given permission to wear it as a tag NOT to make a group with it.

Thank You

I believe it has been said that they werent making it official. Its a group of people that wants to get together and play a game.

Doesn't matter Herm. They don't have permission from the Council to use the name. If it was Half Life 2 Deathmatch Friends it would be perfectly fine. But when you include eGO or Edge Gamers it becomes a trademark issue.

 

[Arn0t]

MrQ is correct. listen to him

 

[Macaroni]

Ok - I'm sorry. I am willing to change the name of the group to something that does not include Edge Gamer's Organization, but I can't find the option.

 

[Arn0t]

create a new group

 

[Newman]

just close the group and remake it then

 

[Macaroni]

Any ideas for a name that implies HL2DM and the fact that it is an unofficial division, but is not trademark infringement?

 

[BlackJoker]

Considering that Edge Gamers isnt a company, trademark isnt that uber of an issue. Make it something along the lines of HL2DM:buddy battalion lol.

 

[Macaroni]

Ok. I made a new group. The link at the top has been fixed to point to the new one.

I beg to differ. Unless you paid the money for the trademark then you have no right to say what is uber trademark issue and what isn't.

@Algebra: Thanks man!!

 

[Macaroni]

How is this not trademark infringement?
