I doubt that excuse would stand up in court*, somehow...
"What do you mean 'I stole their game's name' ? It's a commonly used expression... And just because my game is about crime, stealing cars and running about in a city, it doesn't mean I'm stealing any ideas from their game which is...
I think the other Stargate mod just broke up into 2 teams, but I'm not sure...
I think I remember everyone saying "see ? we told you you'd get shut down" and them objecting that they hadn't and wouldn't be.
I was considering posting a message to the effect of "There are loads of 'GTA' mods out there that have no work done on them... people aren't going to make your ripped-off mod for you" for the first reply.

As a pretty big Stargate geek, reading your design doc almost made me cry in some places.
But yea, jumping on the "get permission or don't bother" bandwagon for this one... illegally using Stargate IP is even more silly seeing as there's an offical game out soon.
I left this alone to begin with, as usually these threads die out when nobody offers to help, but now I feel I should chip in...

Could you re-phrase the question ?
