Mikael released his first 7 games before Xmas each year - but #8 was delayed until the beginning of the year 2012 - Mikael, in his very early 40's claims that he is getting older??!

 

 

During the second half of the year whilst the game is in full development we are in Skype contact almost every night - and last night I asked him about the name of his company "MDNA Games".  In particular Madonna has named her latest album and also the name of her latest world tour "MDNA" - which is the word "Madonna" with all the vowels deleted.  I asked him if he took this name first or copied it from Madonna !  He replied (and he always tells the truth) that he 'invented' the name "MDNA" first many years ago and was actually extremely surprised when he saw that Madonna had used the same appellation.

 

For many years now Mikael has operated the largest Madonna internet site in the world.  He is crazy about  Madonna and goes to as  many of her concerts as he possibly can.

She will perform in both Sweden and UK - Mikael will be present at both of her concerts there. 

I thought he might even fly to Israel for her opening concert here - but he passed on that one.

You might be interested in reading my previous thread concerning Madonna here on the JA-Forum ???

Actually I think that would be MDNN - not quite as appealing as MDNA for a games company!

 

The Carol Reed games are great. Who's that you've got as your avatar Len?

You had 3 topics going about this game, and all have the same information.  I deleted the other two.

SNAFU (as they used to say in the WW-II army !


I deleted one of the 3 *MYSELF* !
'Somebody' deleted a 2nd one - not me - without any notification - nothing to do with me !

It is now late morning (7-6-12) in Israel nighttime in USA,
There have mysteriously' appeared **TWO** posts with the identical titles on the "From the Forums" list ?!?!? They were not there yesterday night and I have not touched anything since,
There is also an anomaly in the 'top' and ONLY *relevant* post.
 
 

I am shortly going to correct all these anomalies.

However, Shane very kindly asked me to inform him **personally** if I had any problems so I have taken screencaps opf ***EVERYTHING*** concerning this in case there happens to be  a problem - after my corrections I believe all will be 100% OK and no need to 'use' this innocent tangle for **ANY** possible problem (e,g, deleting or locking my thread, etc. !

I am convinced that this mix-up and crossed lines can now be left alone *COMPLETEly* without further waste of time or energy for ANYBODY !
I sincerely hope so since I am struggling to complete a very tricky article for submission exclusively to JA and all this is a diversion and frittering away of valuable time - at least on MY part !!!

I would be greatly obliged if you would reinstate this thread in its rightful chronological place in the "From the Forums" section from whence it has been regrettably  deleted twice already.

 

I would like to continue research into key article ad do not want to waste more time on this superfluous issue.

 

If you would like to delete this request and my previous 2 posts her - I think it would be a VERY good idea to avoid any further misunderstandings and water of time, effort & energy  !!!

I don't have anything to do with the home page listings.  As I understand it, the posts here appear in the forum list automatically and eventually disappear when new topics are posted.

WHAT A RIGHT B**LS_UP.


But since you posted for all to see (rightly or wrongly) that you hasd deleted 2 of my attempts to post a new topic, I naturally assumed that it was *you* who was causing thhis mess-up !

In case it's not crystal clear :-
Each of 3 times I posted a NEW-TOPIC and EVERY time, it appeared IMMEDIATELY at the top of the "From the Forums" list just as it should do - so far so good !

There it remained for a relatively short time - maybe an hour or so - and all seemed to be fine.
But thenb to my amazement and shock after an hour or so IT COMPLETELY DISAPEARED from the "From the Forums: list as though somebody had *DELIBERATELY deleted it from there. This of course upset me. So I repeated the process - EXACTLY identical results - OK at fist but deleted after a fairly shot time. I began to get irritated & annoyed. So I tried for a third and last time with the same resuls !!!
Why would it start OK and then getn deleted after a while ???

However since I was wrong and ***it was not you*** but somebody or something else ***I SINCERELY APOLOGISE*** for "accusing" you for something for which you were :innocent:!!!

But - Talk about the story of the boy who cried "WOLF" !!!!!
The 2 mods have not been 'affectionate' towards me - GROSS UNDERSTATEMENT !!! ...............
A............... and not to beat about the bush, have taken every opportunity possible to attack me on the boards implicitly &/or oovertly.


In the past roughly 1/2 yer since the JA takeover I can't remember one single kindly, nice, jovial or positive word applied to me from you mods as not infrequently to other members (not that this upsets me !!) but **PLENT** of the diametric opposite.

Hence it is not surprising that this episode appeared to me to be another attempt at trollin-harassment tiowards me.

However, I repeat - in this what seemed to be an ovious assumption was incorrect - and once again  I  AM  sorry  &  apologise !

Please inform Karla of this post - As far as I/m concerned, she is **VERY  MUCH  MORE** of a jailer than the kindly local 'Bobby' on his beat !!
