that does seem to be the consensus. indeed, one of the links above said it would’ve been a great series if it kept up the earlier quality .
in addition to the so - called show trials, a series of closed trials of top soviet military leaders was held in 1937–38, in which a number of prominent military leaders were eliminated; the closed trials were accompanied by a massive purge throughout the soviet armed forces. stalin’s liquidation of experienced military leadership during this purge was one of the major factors contributing to the poor performance of soviet forces in the initial phase of the german invasion of the soviet union in june 1941 .
what does the future hold for trials beyond that? that remains to be seen, but one thing we can say for certain, there will definitely be more games from redlynx named' trials' - games that will build on the foundation of the legendary history of trials while breaking new ground into 2013 and beyond .

the editors and staff of trials would like to warmly thank our peer reviewers whose comments have helped to shape the journal .
an interesting early sign of the potential of trials came in 2003, when one of the biggest internet operators in finland contacted us, saying that they might need to rethink what to do with our trials game that they were hosting on their game portal .
held for the purpose of bringing nazi war criminals to justice, the nuremberg trials were a series of 13 trials carried out in nuremberg, germany, between 1945 and 1949. the defendants, who included nazi party officials and high - ranking military officers along with german industrialists, lawyers and doctors, were indicted on such charges as crimes against peace and crimes against humanity. nazi leader adolf hitler (1889 - 1945) committed suicide and was never brought to trial. although the legal justifications for the trials and their procedural innovations were controversial at the time, the nuremberg trials are now regarded as a milestone toward the establishment of a permanent international court, and an important precedent for dealing with later instances of genocide and other crimes against humanity .
i read somewhere that after the fifth novel, lange (who was a philosophy professor) hired someone else to continue writing the series. that’s when it got the bad reputation. the first five were good adventures .
when it came to create trials hd, we started over almost from scratch. only the basic game ideas and playability was carried over from trials 2. the 2d bike collision engine of trials 2 was replaced with a proper 3d physics engine. tuning the bike alone took six months. the bike itself required hundreds of iterations, with hundreds of parts and thousands of parameters, until we finally reached a polished state that just felt right .
the earliest trials games were released as freely playable online games, beginning in 2000 and continuing into 2003 with the popular and innovative trials bike basic and pro versions, which were among some of the earliest and most popular free games of selected internet operators in the early years of the 21st century .
along with pictures, this book examines how the war crimes trials against the nazis were organized, who was tried, and what the results were .
furthermore, the game clearly draws inspiration from the real world sport of' trials' or' motorcycle trials', in which riders ride specialized, lightweight bikes, surmounting various obstacles and performing daring, acrobatic feats without' faulting' or touching a foot to the ground - much as you experience in the game .
those other fellows definitely included rape and sexual torture and domination (gap series particularly) and one might infer the authors liked it a bit too much, but norman preached it like an evangelist, both in his fiction and in real life .
unfortunately, i don’t know where i read this. wikipedia doesn’t talk about it. but there was a clear change in tone, which led me (and presumably many others) to stop reading what had been one of my favorite series .

the city of nuremberg (also known as nurnberg) in the german state of bavaria was selected as the location for the trials because its palace of justice was relatively undamaged by the war and included a large prison area. additionally, nuremberg had been the site of annual nazi propaganda rallies; holding the postwar trials there marked the symbolic end of hitler’s government, the third reich .
following the trial of major war criminals, there were 12 additional trials held at nuremberg. these proceedings, lasting from december 1946 to april 1949, are grouped together as the subsequent nuremberg proceedings. they differed from the first trial in that they were conducted before u. s. military tribunals rather than the international tribunal that decided the fate of the major nazi leaders. the reason for the change was that growing differences among the four allied powers had made other joint trials impossible. the subsequent trials were held in the same location at the palace of justice in nuremberg .
so what happened to these early games, these vintage trials experiences? while many versions can be still found online, we have taken the best experiences of those early days and packaged them into one polished, downloadable pc game and released it for free, which we call trials legends, as a way to thank all our fans old and new, with a piece of living history .
controversially, limited versions of trials 2 se was made available on bittorrent streams, but we were confident that the appeal of the game' s community features would draw in more players than it deterred .
in 1966, john frederick lange jr. published tarnsman of gor, the first book in what would become the gorean saga, under the pen name of john norman with ballantine books. the book — and the subsequent series — was “sword and planet” fiction in the vein of edgar rice burroughs’ john carter series and leigh brackett’s eric john stark stories, with a man from earth going to a faraway planet to have swashbuckling adventures with medieval - style weapons. like pre - 1950s pulp works, gor mixed science fiction and fantasy elements with great skill. the books gained a cult following, and norman continued writing sequels as a result .
altogether we have estimated from different sources, that there were 20 - 30 million unique players playing these early versions of trials. considering the online games market of 2000 - 2005, those are exceptionally robust numbers .
between the years 2003 and 2007, as a multiplatform publisher and developer, redlynx was focused on mobile and handheld game development, and trials development took a back seat for a time. at the time, we were focused on developing major handheld properties for other publishers. but when 2007 rolled around, we felt the world was ready for more trials, and this time, the pc platform with internet distribution was chosen as the way to go .
however, the gorean saga had an aspect that burroughs’ and brackett’s works lacked: extensive sexual slavery of young women. from the seventh book onwards, this aspect became the dominant theme of the series, over and above the adventurous heroism of its early installments. this became a source of titillation for readers — and a source of trouble in the future .
both as developers and gamers, we feel at the same time humble in front of this sort of praise – and on the hand really proud' cause it has been systematic hard work that has resulted in trials hd .
the answer was trials. the key game idea, even back then, was not just a motorbike riding over obstacles, but the unique way in which the player controls the rider to guide the bike through acceleration, braking, and leaning. that simple game mechanic - easy to learn, but difficult to master - would become integral to the appeal of the original games, and after many years of tweaking and polishing to perfection, is still a crucial component to trials' lasting appeal .
there were many legal and procedural difficulties to overcome in setting up the nuremberg trials. first, there was no precedent for an international trial of war criminals. there were earlier instances of prosecution for war crimes, such as the execution of confederate army officer henry wirz (1823 - 65) for his maltreatment of union prisoners of war during the american civil war (1861 - 65); and the courts - martial held by turkey in 1919 - 20 to punish those responsible for the armenian genocide of 1915 - 16. however, these were trials conducted according to the laws of a single nation rather than, as in the case of the nuremberg trials, a group of four powers (france, britain, the soviet union and the u. s .) with different legal traditions and practices .
however, in the early 90s, donald a. wollheim, the original owner of daw, died. the publisher was then taken over by his daughter elizabeth r. wollheim, more commonly known as betsy wollheim. under betsy, the gor novels were discontinued, reportedly due to poor sales. but according to a 2014 message board post by author mercedes lackey, betsy had long planned to discontinue the series .
2016 marked the 10th anniversary of trials and to coincide with publication of our 3000th article, we put together a page to celebrate the great milestones of the journal, including a timeline, opinions from those in the field, links to our most popular articles, and more .
trials hd hit the xbox live arcade on august 20, 2009, and was immediately embraced by fans. a month later, we were happy to report it had surpassed 300, 000 sales. within little more than a year, it achieved the remarkable milestone of one million sold .
trials 2 se introduced automated game updates, achievements, and the beloved quick restart feature. it also added team play, ghost racing, in - game chat, a global player ranking list and all - time and weekly scores filter - able by team and country. with its global all time score list and online profiles, now you could compare your times to those of your friends from across the street or around the world. it also introduced new camera angles, improved sounds and physics, and - - for the first time in trials history - - the ability to play with a gamepad instead of just a keyboard .

nonetheless, most observers considered the trials a step forward for the establishment of international law. the findings at nuremberg led directly to the united nations genocide convention (1948) and universal declaration of human rights (1948), as well as the geneva convention on the laws and customs of war (1949). in addition, the international military tribunal supplied a useful precedent for the trials of japanese war criminals in tokyo (1946 - 48); the 1961 trial of nazi leader adolf eichmann (1906 - 62); and the establishment of tribunals for war crimes committed in the former yugoslavia (1993) and in rwanda (1994) .
organized fandom in the 90s made their opinions on gor quite clear: they despised it. remember that even then, publishing was a strongly progressive industry, and much of fandom not only shared these progressive opinions, but networked with those who worked in publishing. in this time, however, there was no kindle store to circumvent the big publishers and the internet culture as we know it today did not exist, so the gor series was left without a home and without anybody to publicly defend it .
tianjing li is an associate professor in the department of epidemiology at johns hopkins bloomberg school of public health (jhbsph). dr li was trained as a physician and subsequently earned her phd in epidemiology (clinical trials concentration) and mhs in biostatistics from jhbsph. the primary goal of dr li' s research is to develop, evaluate, and disseminate efficient methods for comparing healthcare interventions and to provide trustworthy evidence for decision making. her core research interests include methodologies for randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, network meta - analysis, comparative effectiveness research, and patient - centered outcomes research. dr li serves as the associate director for cochrane united states and the director for research for cochrane eyes and vision us project .
finally, trials evolution was released on april 18, 2012. the game garnered almost universal acclaim from game critics, with a 90 score on metacritic, and legions of new and returning fans. it smashed sales records on xbox live arcade, breaking all previous one - day sale records and gaining 500, 000 players in its first month on the service .
all this took much longer and required a bigger team than the trials 2 games, but we were able to focus on one clear platform and take full advantage of the xbox' s capabilities and polish the game specifically for that platform. all told, a team of ten people worked hard for twelve months to create the product we all know and love today .
between the game' s announcement and release, trials evolution was featured in a number of magazine and online previews, featured at several special press events, and was showcased at a number of videogame conferences and trade shows. along the way, there were changes for redlynx too, as the studio was acquired by the major european game publisher ubisoft in november, 2011 .
critics also embraced the game, and it has maintained a metacritic score of 86 since its release, and an even higher 92 rating from independent gamers. fans in the xbox live community also voted it the best downloadable game. the industry responded too, heaping awards on trials hd, including best finnish game, best nordic game, and a nomination for best downloadable game by the xbox live arcade community .
jeremy grimshaw is a senior scientist in the clinical epidemiology program at the ottawa health research institute and professor of medicine, university of ottawa. he holds a tier 1 canadian research chair in health knowledge transfer and uptake. professor grimshaw’s research interests are in implementation and knowledge translation, quality improvement, complex interventions, systematic reviews, cluster randomized trials, quasi - experimental studies and behavioral theories (and their application to professional behavior) .
moving from strength to strength, we soon brought trials 2 se to steam' s digital distribution network, cementing redlynx' s growing reputation as an up and coming player in the world of high - quality, downloadable digital games. along with steady sales, solid reviews, the game developed a fanatical base of players, who have in total played the game more than nine million times since its release - and are still playing today .
these proceedings included the doctors trial (december 9, 1946 - august 20, 1947), in which 23 defendants were accused of crimes against humanity, including medical experiments on prisoners of war. in the judges trial (march 5 - december 4, 1947), 16 lawyers and judges were charged with furthering the nazi plan for racial purity by implementing the eugenics laws of the third reich. other subsequent trials dealt with german industrialists accused of using slave labor and plundering occupied countries; high - ranking army officers accused of atrocities against prisoners of war; and ss officers accused of violence against concentration camp inmates. of the 185 people indicted in the subsequent nuremberg trials, 12 defendants received death sentences, 8 others were given life in prison and an additional 77 people received prison terms of varying lengths, according to the ushmm. authorities later reduced a number of the sentences .
the nuremberg trials were controversial even among those who wanted the major criminals punished. harlan stone (1872 - 1946), chief justice of the u. s. supreme court at the time, described the proceedings as a “sanctimonious fraud” and a “high - grade lynching party. ” william o. douglas (1898 - 1980), then an associate u. s. supreme court justice, said the allies “substituted power for principle” at nuremberg .
by now, the gorean saga’s reputation is well - known among fans of sci - fi and fantasy. its long, extended discourses on the greatness of female sexual slavery are legendary, so much so that according to tv tropes, “a mention of gor is equivalent to trolling” and several large message boards ban its discussion. it is understandable why the organized sci - fi fandom of today would detest gor, but these attacks on the series long predate today’s politicizations. through attacks on the gorean saga during the 90s, we can see the roots of the current shaming campaigns that would later impact sf / f as a whole — and the solution that diminished much of their power .
grade 8 - up following a thorough introduction that provides novice historians with background information, this series entry uses primary - source documents organized in a coherent chronology to demonstrate how the allies set a precedent and brought nazi war criminals to justice. each of the five chapters begins with a narrative preface and contains two to four essays, each with an explanatory introduction. for example ,

the best - known of the nuremberg trials was the trial of major war criminals, held from november 20, 1945, to october 1, 1946. the format of the trial was a mix of legal traditions: there were prosecutors and defense attorneys according to british and american law, but the decisions and sentences were imposed by a tribunal (panel of judges) rather than a single judge and a jury. the chief american prosecutor was robert h. jackson (1892 - 1954), an associate justice of the u. s. supreme court. each of the four allied powers supplied two judges–a main judge and an alternate .
the allies eventually established the laws and procedures for the nuremberg trials with the london charter of the international military tribunal (imt), issued on august 8, 1945. among other things, the charter defined three categories of crimes: crimes against peace (including planning, preparing, starting or waging wars of aggression or wars in violation of international agreements), war crimes (including violations of customs or laws of war, including improper treatment of civilians and prisoners of war) and crimes against humanity (including murder, enslavement or deportation of civilians or persecution on political, religious or racial grounds). it was determined that civilian officials as well as military officers could be accused of war crimes .

when it comes to other media and games that might have had an influence on it, there are literally hundreds of different games on many different platforms that have inspired our team members in different ways .
it turned out that people from all around world were pouring in by the millions, just to play this addictive game, overloading their servers and jamming their connectivity - even though that version was entirely in the finnish language! since they were primarily serving the finnish market, that was something they didn' t expect .

regarding this success, redlynx ceo tero virtala said ,

the first dlc, released in december 2009, big pack, was also a hit. for the second dlc, big thrills, we wanted to showcase some of the amazing work the community has done with the level editor. we put our heads together with our partners at microsoft and came up with the big thrills track creator challenge. along with the usual great, redlynx created tracks, users were invited to submit their own creations to this special contest, with the top ten tracks being selected for inclusion in the add - on .

the essays in this book are poorly put together. there is some good background information however the essays that are consistently on opposite ends of the spectrum present skewed personal biases that can be easily misconstrued as the truth. i purchased this book as a requirement for a class on the world wars and holocaust, as it was my last semester it was hard enough to keep my attention without reading the nuremberg trial. on the other hand if you have trouble getting to sleep i would consider it an excellent investment .

shortly after adolf hitler came to power as chancellor of germany in 1933, he and his nazi government began implementing policies designed to persecute german - jewish people and other perceived enemies of the nazi state. over the next decade, these policies grew increasingly repressive and violent and resulted, by the end of world war ii (1939 - 45), in the systematic, state - sponsored murder of some 6 million european jews (along with an estimated 4 million to 6 million non - jews) .
the death sentences imposed in october 1946 were carried out by master sergeant john c. woods (1903 - 50), who told a reporter from time magazine that he was proud of his work .
the way i look at this hanging job, somebody has to do it... ten men in 103 minutes. that' s fast work .
in december 1942, the allied leaders of great britain, the united states and the soviet union “issued the first joint declaration officially noting the mass murder of european jewry and resolving to prosecute those responsible for violence against civilian populations, ” according to the united states holocaust memorial museum (ushmm). joseph stalin (1878 - 1953), the soviet leader, initially proposed the execution of 50, 000 to 100, 000 german staff officers. british prime minister winston churchill (1874 - 1965) discussed the possibility of summary execution (execution without a trial) of high - ranking nazis, but was persuaded by american leaders that a criminal trial would be more effective. among other advantages, criminal proceedings would require documentation of the crimes charged against the defendants and prevent later accusations that the defendants had been condemned without evidence .
twenty - four individuals were indicted, along with six nazi organizations determined to be criminal (such as the “gestapo, ” or secret state police). one of the indicted men was deemed medically unfit to stand trial, while a second man killed himself before the trial began. hitler and two of his top associates, heinrich himmler (1900 - 45) and joseph goebbels (1897 - 45), had each committed suicide in the spring of 1945 before they could be brought to trial. the defendants were allowed to choose their own lawyers, and the most common defense strategy was that the crimes defined in the london charter were examples of ex post facto law; that is, they were laws that criminalized actions committed before the laws were drafted. another defense was that the trial was a form of victor’s justice–the allies were applying a harsh standard to crimes committed by germans and leniency to crimes committed by their own soldiers .
as the accused men and judges spoke four different languages, the trial saw the introduction of a technological innovation taken for granted today: instantaneous translation. ibm provided the technology and recruited men and women from international telephone exchanges to provide on - the - spot translations through headphones in english, french, german and russian .
in the end, the international tribunal found all but three of the defendants guilty. twelve were sentenced to death, one in absentia, and the rest were given prison sentences ranging from 10 years to life behind bars. ten of the condemned were executed by hanging on october 16, 1946. hermann göring (1893 - 1946), hitler’s designated successor and head of the “luftwaffe” (german air force), committed suicide the night before his execution with a cyanide capsule he had hidden in a jar of skin medication .

in 1974, with the publication of the eighth book, the gorean saga moved from ballantine books to daw publishing. at first, there was no major change apart from a stronger focus on sexually charged events .
the attacks on norman and on gor culminated in norman’s rejection from a worldcon panel in 2001. norman had taken his displeasure public, and several members of sf / f fandom weighed in on the matter. norman became keenly aware of organized fandom’s power that day, a power that many authors, even today, could attest to. later in the decade, dark horse comics was pressured to cancel a planned gor omnibus .
thanks to amazon’s kindle devices, john norman had the last laugh. as of today, the entire gorean saga is available in e - book, paperback, and audio formats. there have even been some limited attempts by organized fandom to reconcile with norman: pop - culture site io9 did a long interview with norman and allowed him to state his opinions without being attacked. if not for the changes in the publishing industry, the gorean saga would not have seen the light of day again. this simple story of gor’s rise, fall, and rebirth shows publishing as it used to be — and what is possible with publishing as it is now. the old gatekeepers have truly lost their power in these latter days of the 2010s .
as the legacy publishers leak money and face shrinking fortunes, the power of the gatekeepers wanes. the changes not only allow newer stuff to come to the fore, they rescue older work as well, rendering them impervious to whisper campaigns and public denunciations alike; actual book content is king. now a contemporary reader can enjoy these books and read them for themselves .
as long as amazon stays accommodating, of course. but even they aren’t invincible .
p. s. : for more information than you ever wanted to know about gor, go here .
the early gor books were true fantasy masterworks on par with zelazny’s amber. the slavery aspect was there, but it wasn’t gratuitously overdone .
the problem with the later books wasn’t simply their excessive focus on sexual slavery. the were boring. booooooring. nobody in his right mind swallowed the writer’s viewpoint on women, though there are thriving roleplaying communities today filled with plenty of women and men who use the setting to explore these “forbidden” themes. like s & m and b & d, these places of fantasy are fine to visit when everything is, ultimately, consensual. and if the literary community doesn’t condemn 50 shades, it can hardly condemn gor .
but norman jumped the shark early, and another 20 + books never redeemed him. too bad. i’d have read them all if they’d been as good as the first six. i plowed and skimmed though many of them, searching for the “good parts”–the adventure. frankly, i wished for an abridged omnibus version that kept the good parts and left out the painfully boring blah - blah .
i read tarnsman of gor, and it was pretty fun. as for norman jumping the shark, i think he was just churning them out for money by that point — hence why they became boring .
yes, i totally agree. the first books were quite excellent as planetary romance. i stopped in the latter books not because i found the topic distasteful (though smbd ain’t my bag) but, the long soliloquies on the topic put a drag on the plot which makes it boring. a good planetary romance shouldn’t be more than 120 — 200 pages and closer to the smaller end. adding 100 + pages of padding was just too much. it’s like, norman, we get it already .
that seems to be the consensus: the first six were good, but after the seventh, they go down the tubes .
especially with some of the fawning apologetics that comes from the “crowd” over thomas covenant’s rape of a girl in stephen donaldson’s first book. news flash: same stuff goes on in his gap cycle .
( if i am going to bring up the hard scifi good ol verner vinge should not come out unscathed. yeah vern what you did to that woman in a deepness in the sky (maybe a fire on the deep. i get em confused) …. .
in your writing you seemed a bit overly enthusiastic about it there bud. )
george r. r. martin has been dinged for too much rape in his work. don’t know about the others .
remember, though, that organized fandom is not the same as the large numbers of people who buy the books .
good point. i don’t agree with that “subjugate women” view either, but i will certainly defend norman’s right to make the works available .
i liked the early gor novels but as someone stated once the bdsm and slavery aspects became the focus of every story it simply became boring. there were a few of the later novels that were pretty decent, beasts of gor comes to mind, but most beyond the first 7 books were uninteresting .
the idea was to provide viewers with an unexpected, entertaining look at key moments in history .
the concept for these videos, were
chalk talk
- the “talk” is a phone interview with certain historians about a key moment in history. the “chalk” are blackboard style illustrations. the animated blackboard illustrations were intended to be fun, quirky, in some places raw, in other places polished. the audio vo was edited to be short, to the point, and revelatory. each episode has a “who knew” moment .
technically: these videos were illustrated in photoshop and animated in after effects. the video gogh plugin by re: flex created the chalk effects. the ghosting effect was created with this plugin, time distorts and some custom expressions. we used cinema 4d lightly when the script called for a rotating model, but we tried to limit our use of motion graphic cliches and really emulate the look of stop motion chalk animations. we also took a collaborative role in concepting the imagery, transitions, and design to work with the motion and to illuminate camp creative' s vision .

and executed or imprisoned. all the evidence presented in court was derived from preliminary examinations of the defendants and from their confessions. it was subsequently established that the accused were innocent, that the cases were fabricated by the
