Can't someone counter-sue/sue a company for falsely suing a company? Especially to this magnitude? Isn't this like...against the law or something? We should all get together and sue Uniloc for just being a money-hungry, falsely-suing, idiots. They're not even that big of a company. They somehow got away with patening something that would literally pretty much make it so no one can program, so that only they can be the programmers. Isn't it a crime to make a law so that only you can be the big business?

I want customizable capes for everyone.

I personally do not understand why there is such elitism concerning capes, that it somehow must always be a mark of distinction and recognition for only those who went to MineCon or only for people who bought the game as alpha and/or beta players or only for those who came even before that. Nor do I understand the sentiment that the only reason a person would want a cape would be for its exclusivity and that it's cool solely for the reason that it is "rare".

I don't want a cape because it would give me some bizarre notion of being "special" and more "special" than those (sarcasm commencing) "bandwagoners" who bought in the game in beta or in full release (as suggestions about capes tend to be that Alpha players should get capes). I already know I bought the game in Alpha and I don't see why that matters, why there must be something given to me proclaiming to the world when I bought the game and how that somehow makes me "better" than other people (because that's really the gist of having something exclusive).

Do not mistake me for begrudging those who already have capes such as those who attended MineCon. I like capes and I want one because I think the straight-as-a-piece-of-cardboard cape attached to unnaturally square shoulders, flapping behind whilst my avatar runs looks bad ass. As of now, I use a mod to give myself a cape and it probably looks a hell of better than anything Jeb or Notch could give me simply because it fits my avatar and Minecraft is all about customization for me.

I can do whatever I want in the game. Perhaps I don't like how an item or a block appears, well I can fix it to suit my tastes. Maybe I want my avatar to look like a knight, or a cow, or some iconic video game character, I can make that happen. Maybe I want to build a grand, spacious Tudor Manor with beautiful French gardens and fountains or a humble log cabin in the midst of the forest? Yep, I can do that too. An ethereal floating castle amongst the clouds or an imposing fortress sitting on the flat plains or even a palace ensconced upon a mountain top? I have my pick, I could even construct all three.

So yes, I would like a cape, one that I can use my own texture for. And there, of course, should be an option to turn off capes for those who simply don't want it.

Just my two cents,
GP
