A question about third parties

Posted by Mykltron Wed Apr 07, 2010 1:22 pm

Motto: "If I win again I'm still the champion. If you win HAH! that's just impossible.

Weapon: tea cup."
This has been puzzling me for sometime. It's not important in any way, I'm just curious. I presume Hasbro are the first party manufacturers. Groups like FP are third party. Why? And who is the second party? Am I (a customer) part of the second party?

Motto: "Don't do drugs, beer's cheaper anyway!"
The first party is the main licence holder in our case Hasbro/TakaraTomy
The second party is the consumer the customer buying the product
The third party is another company or entity that produces products based on the 1st party's property, usually this company has a licence for doing this from the 1st party.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Thanks guys! I posted this and then forgot about it until just now!

So I guess this means we're not in a party? :-(
