Pundit is in trouble now...

Don't care about this 'Fox guy".

No one ever asked for his game when the store was open.

Doesn't really seem like it has a true connection to RPGs.

If you guys want to help, please share my video on your social media.

Quote from: RPGPundit;1126050I really, really hope it doesn't have to come to that.

Why? He keeps escalating this even when you leave him alone.

He's just going to hallucinate you doing something against him again and possibly do something even worse.

Certainly legal action is a big step. But hes obviously not gong to stop. At the very least start looking into it in case things get worse.

I've seen something like this before. Look up 'Brett Kimberlin' and 'Bill Schmalfeldt'.

Pundit, it might be worth your time to contact the principal actors involved in dealing with those lowlifes, particularly William Hoge or Aaron Worthing. See if they can offer you any advice.

Yeah, lawsuits are expensive. But if Fox manages to screw up your DTRPG income it's no longer just an Internet slapfight.

Fox and Koebel are found-kindred fools, so when Pundit targets one, the other comes running.

F it were me, hiring 2-3 lawyers to circle the wagons around Fox would be fun, aka, worth the scratch.

Even if he survives, the victory would be purely Pyrrihic. That's enough.

Lawsuits sound expensive, a pain in the ass and a gamble, but gotta agree with many here. This crosses a line and could have further consequences down the line, especially since we seem headed towards an age where mere unsubstantiated accusations on social media are enough for companies to act and deny business or funding to you.

The guy does all he can to tie pundit to white supremacists/nazis. That, is a very, very direct smear to affect livelihood. If there were ever justification to get an attack dog lawyer, this looks like it.

Posted this on his twitter example of nazism

That is arguing a point no one was making he did not substitute muslims for nazis. He substituted Muslims for conservatives... did the guy not read before responding?

Somebody liked it and I was blocked shortly after is. The guy is saying things that did not happen, and worse read differently than he says they do.. I feel like this guy gives two fucks about rpgs, but is on the phone all day trying to get a movie/netflix/media deal sealed to just make money. I guess the virtue peacock is needed to get that gangs attention.

Wait, Pundit thinks people are bribing judges to win Ennies?

That's crazy. I mean, there isn't enough money in an RPG to afford that even if the bribes are splitting a pizza level of corruption.

Who are those names and where can I contact them?

There were literally at least two very public scandals of bribery in the past. Neither of them involving Fox, I'll note. It amazes me how everyone has just forgotten they happened.

Meanwhile if someone wanted to be more immediately helpful, they could post the link to my video on their social media. Right now the video isn't even on reddit /rpg/, maybe some of the people suggesting I spend years and thousands of dollars in a protracted legal battle for their amusement could start helping out by posting the video on reddit?

Sorry if I'm coming off as a bit snippy, bearing in mind I've had less sleep and considerable stress because of these outright lies being flung all around the gaming internet about me by leftists who don't give a fuck about the truth, but there's also a lot of people on here acting like suing someone is a super easy thing to do and not something that will literally devour years of your life, especially international suits.

I am not. Its a big step and not one to be taken lightly. I advise looking into getting a lawyer first even if it is only as a "just in case" fallback. Do some research and ask around.

Quote from: Doc Sammy;1126040IIRC, that's not actually a photo of Pundit.

If it is somehow a photo of him, then it's at least not a current one since the photo looks like it was some old Polaroid taken in the 1980's or early 1990's.

It isn't. Go to the photo, right click, choose "Search Google for this Image". It is one of the earliest memes on the internet, being attached to archeovirii ranging from the stereotypical nerd to "too much Second Life".
