This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Why would we even need moderators again?

Also Ben, pleas do not derail the thread!

I miss all the fun...or in this case, sadness.

As Sett said, show me the money!

Do you think anyone on this message board can answer that?
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Mommy and daddy are fighting again! There's effete stay-at-home dads from Canada, Stockholm syndrome, short buses, "suicide"-by-mod threats, princesses -- and lawyers! And I think someone took all the beer money, too!

It's all too much, One Horse Town! Make it stop before the cops come! I'm afraid to go downstairs...

The thread cannot answer the question of where the money is, but can make people think about the different possibilities.
And some of the more benign ones look VERY unlikely!

Also it would be SUPER EASY for Jamal or Tavis to just tell us where YOUR money is!!!!

That no one answers the question alone is damning enough.

So, where is the money?

EXEC. SUMMARY: The answer to the question is also the answer to the question whether there was fraud or not.

I guess no one reads my blog. I might have found some of the answers...

Well, I guess if he actually used the dough the buy stuff for his kids and make a nice vacation with the family...
In a way that is the most positive thing I have heard so far about him!

Well, this is interesting.

Maliszewski was able to get far enough ahead ( . . .?) on his Whizbros articles that they were able to publish one in September, two in October and one in December. I wonder if they have any more sitting on a hard drive somewhere, and if so, when they were written.

Would Whizbros publish his articles without communicating with him at some point? I've never tried to publish anything, so I don't know how that works.

I'm quite sure Tavis already said -- several times, actually -- that all the money was sent to Malizewski.

Now regarding what Malizewski is actually doing with the money, well, that's the real question. Not that I'd know why you care, since I find it rather unlikely that you actually bought in to something written by the guy you call "The Grand Douche".

Went back and read the Aos/Ben meltdown. Holy shit.

What the fuck is happening to this place?

It's exactly what I've always suspected would happen to this place.

Settembrini

It already happened, some years ago actually!

You think "He bought his kids some normal Christmas presents" is a sign he spent the money?

You've crossed into creepy stalker territory man.  Stop reading and reposting his wife's blog about her kids.  This issue is not worth you going there.   Time for a new hobby when you find yourself doing that. Whatever fucked up thing is going on in your life where you feel the need to attention whore on this level, time to address it in a healthier manner.
