The Gaming Den

Hey guys, I'm going to ignore the point of your posts, but instead ramble about a poorly-thought-out analogy one person used!

Kiss my ass.

My points are salient. If they make you uncomfortable, feel free to press that ignore button.

I could go kill a bum on the streets and just because I never get charged doesn't mean I didn't commit murder. You're sticking to an extremely narrow viewpoint of what constitutes a crime. You're basically saying "it's only a crime if you get caught, otherwise there never was a crime". Wh...

I find this amusing. When Catalyst started, they basically waved off a discussion about having a central NDA repository as something they'd get to at a later point. So it was basically up to the devs to collect NDAs for their freelancers. Since I'm in Chicago, and I wanted to be able to check who h...

No, criminal charges won't be filed, but that doesn't mean theft didn't happen. Why won't criminal charges be filed? If someone steals $850,000.00 then criminal charges are generally filed. I'm hanging my hat on the fact that if someone steals 850k, then the District Attorney would be interested. L...

The reason they can't suggest that is because it requires admitting that theft occured, and acknowledgement that Catalyst did wrong. I can't acknowledge that theft occured. No one has even been charged with theft. I will happily acknowledge that Catalyst did wrong by its freelancers, shareholders, ...

One possibility that no one has mentioned (i'm surprised Tarq, Clutch) I'm sorry, But to even suggest that they might have learned from a huge screw up and are doing the right thing is to be instantly branded a sock-puppet, criminal conspiritor, or worse. No thanks. I'll keep my speculation on the ...

However, whilst those in the know are probably on AH's side or at the very least warmly sympathetic, I don't know how much influence threads on DS have in the grand scheme of things. I think the real big mistake on JH's side is a much simpler one: Losing AH's work. AH is good, he's (very) productiv...

Yes, generally, Publisher puts the books on the Distributer's shelf, who then doesn't pay the Publisher until they sell, and the Distributer returns the remainder. Retail buys product from the Distributer, paying (or at least owing) immediately, and can't return the unused portion. Hobby game distr...

-They could have gotten an advance -They could have failed to deliver books -They could have failed to deliver books Alliance is allowed to sell -Alliance could have a deal whereby it won't sell books while printers it works with are not being paid. Yeah, But did they? Here and other places people ...

This isn't one bad thing, this is a collection of hundreds of wrong things. Hell, the thing where he used the company account as an ATM is one wrong thing every single time he or his wife drew money out - adding up to over six hundred wrong things just in that category of wrong things. But you and ...

I am brave, because I have nothing to fear. Not to nit-pick, but being brave and having nothing to fear are not the same thing. Having plenty to fear and doing the right thing anyway, that's bravery. It's the last bit that really bugs me. It's like they're acknowledging that whenever anyone lets in...

His statement does several things which reinforce a patriarchal setting. Which is where we find ourselves. First, it assumes that men and women write or do things differently, which is false. No, that's true Next, it brings up women as incapable of making rhymes or puns while men are Nope. I'm sure...

Loren doesn't have a college degree that I'm aware of. He was a nuclear electronicsman in the Navy. I'm pretty sure he was in engineering on the Nimitz. Clutch :gross: Fuck, that was MY job. I wasn't on the Nimitz, I was on the Stennis, but still, the idea of having the same military career as this...

Frank is a pud puller.

Not only that he pulls posts's.

Frank. Don't pull anymore posts. It makes you look amateurish.

I'll admit that one way or the nother this is "crunch time". If he's here gathering information against his 'enemies', he should PM me. I will be happy to provide my name, number and address so he can fill out another slot on his shit list. I consider being on Loren Coleman's shit list a p...

Okay, Firstly. I'm a Harlequin fan, except for some reasons that I might get into later. Secondy. You're really reaching. If you could write a plot as thick as what you propose, I'd buy it. Loren has not a single valid reason to acknowledge your existence Frank. If his problems are as big as you say...

But really, you could just ask him. Laughingman2070 is extremely likely to be Loren L Coleman. See what he has to say about endangering the welfare of his own offspring by committing financial crimes. There's zero chance that Laughingman is Loren. Loren wouldn't have called you "Frankie" ...

Speaking of "Rabbit Holes". What about the Coleman's three kids. I know the knee-jerk reaction is "What about em". But I like to think that I am one of the good guys. As such, shouldn't "collateral damage" be considered? I'm not having a go at anyone, I'm just throwing ...

However there is a thing called "Alter Ego Theory" that can be invoked in the case of comingled funds I realize you're not a Lawyer, but what is the burdern of proof for the "Alter Ego Theory". Is it prima facia, or is it a bit closer to beyond a reasonable doubt. I'm aware that...

Hmm,, Can they go after his house? If the Colemans really are the sole owners of the LLC, and they are the ones who (appear to have) looted it, one would think that the assets of the LLC itself are in play, not any assets of the owners. I'm not sure that the bankruptcy of a company can trickle down ...

I can piss thirty seven thousand dollars.

What's your point?

3. It's the internet, you can find these people if you search for them.

Of course you can. But why in the heck would you?

I mean being able........you know what. Fuck it. Let's party.

This is how we do it! It's Friday night

From my discussions with Paul Stansel

Frank,

Why in the wide wide world of sports name would you be talking with David's dad?

Guy's!

Spilt milk.

Kaelik, I am not going to explain the positive aspect of humility to a person who thinks of arrogance as a privilege. I simply can't - you don't have the proper frame of mind. So let's you do this - click the ignore button over there above this post and we can both take a break. I'm just going to s...
