Here is the truth. Calm and Wise. Thank you Sheth.


What els do you except from Sheth? Sheth is the boss! it is nice to have somebody here that can talk about this inn a real manner and knows how it is too be on the other side! sometimes this community is a way to fast to pick up the pitchforks as sheth put it.
Life isn't hard, we just suck at it.

Why you posted this news and didn't contact direcly [M] for speaking about Stephano future ?

It's not very mature and professional isn't it ?

Just for 30 days.


Still doesn't make sense to me. I personally believe if you sign something saying you will do something for someone and you're not in a state of duress, you have an obligation to fulfill the agreement.

Whatever though, it's just something that jumped out to me as "different."


This law was created to avoid some assholes to force fragile people (very old, mentaly low, psychologicaly injured, very young) signing some stupid contracts that fuck them.

ATTENTION : What i just say his just to explain this law, nothing more.

Lets support the professional players, not the people who breach a contract the instant they sign one. French law or not, this is ridiculous and any Team attempting to sign with stephano better ask for some type of collateral so he does not renege on the signing in the future.

For Sheth to come in here and act like we don't have any information here is ridiculous. We know he reneged on the contract, that is enough for everyone and should be embarrassing.

Yeah we have loads of information. A total of two different PR statements and some small pieces of text from Complexity management. That's enough to decide on what's what to me!

Look into it before you buy the house. And you can still back out of the house when it's in escrow, which is usually MONTHS from the time you originally formally agree to sell/buy the house. So it's not really an issue, although you might lose your down payment. I'm not positive about this btw, but I think that's how it works.

Hmm. I see value in this regard, but I feel like there could be better ways to go around it.

TheOne, did you know about French law with contracts? I surely didn't before this started up. That's a huge thing not to know much about. Perhaps maybe you don't know everything about this situation? The point isn't that we don't have any information, its that after one day and both sides not getting along initially there's no reason to come here and claim one team or the other is "ridiculous".

What if by tomorrow it turns out that there was a bunch of information we didn't know? I for one won't be "editing my post" to remove anything bad I said about one team or the other. As you've already edited your post, perhaps that won't bother you.
Team LiquidUnderneath it all they were really quite nice. They just got screwed up. Mostly by stuff that wasn't entirely their fault.

I've edited my post to say what I had to say about your post that I had read after the fact, rather than adding onto the already large amount of pages here. Sure there could be some more information coming out, but unfortunately in this situation the amount of information already accessible is enough. 1. He did sign the contract. 2. He did renege. These points are all anyone really needs to conclude that Stephano is not to be trusted with a contract in any form. I don't believe I've said either team was ridiculous. This whole situation is, and its all at fault of someone who reneged on a contract. I'd really like to see the true reasoning behind it, without the fluff.

Maybe CoL is in the wrong with French law, but there's still Stephano's moral and ethical obligation to carry out a contract he seemed to have a lot of time to think about.

From a legal standpoint, it seems CoL can't do very much but again, from a moral and ethical standpoint, Mill should compensate CoL or Stephano should fulfill something he signed on to, assuming CoL was really as proper as they claim they in terms of how they approached Stephano.

Here is some information i found by someone at col that alot of people dont know about, it was in the comments below their statement on stephano breaking contract.

Everyone is assuming French law is on Millennium's side (and it may be) but don't jump to conclusions. This was a contractor contract, NOT an employment contract. The jurisdiction was Texas, USA and France has treaties that cover such international contracts. We are still investigating this, but people should not write off our situation just yet.

In addition, many spectators have doubted our willingness to follow through with legal proceedings (as I'm sure Millenium does). They need to study history more closely

http://www.gotfrag.com/css/story/37209/

Again, no decisions have been made but I don't think certain people involved with this situation are taking it seriously enough.



Apparently the contract was under the jurisdiction of texas law, i dont know exactly what this means but before i read this i heard a few people say that if the contract was under the jurisdiction of texas then it wouldnt matter about the french law.

Also after googling a bit i beleive the french law to break contract within 30 days is for employment contracts, and this contract was not an employment contract it was a contractors contract (lol wierd to say)
