SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Anyone have any experience with Gareth Skarka?

Quote from: Caesar SlaadY'know, for all the talk about how wrong LB was for airing the issue, certain people don't seem to mind discussing it nonetheless.

I want to straight up answer the question here, but it seems too obvious. The dispute between herself and GMS. The one you were chattering about in post #14.

Either there's some subtext in the above quoted statement I am missing, or there is some some subtext in the post you think are responding to that's not there.

The gaming industry is like a highway. Drive long enough, and you'll eventually see another wreck on the side of the road.

No, was just asking for clarification on what you meant. As reveal seemed to think it was about her not getting paid when she thought, and I was thinking about something else.

:)

And for the record, I am not in the least upset or miffed that she is airing the "dispute", only how she did it....

Well Mike, given the low end choice (squabbles about small amounts of money and small niches) and the high end option (a hubris-laden party line that gets rewarded with sudden layoffs), I'm not really sure which one I prefer.

Take care Nothingland. You were always one of the most ridiculously good-looking sites on the internets, and the web too. I\'ll miss you.  -"Derek Zoolander MD" at a site long gone.

But there's so much more drama associated with the small ones! This comes down to one company being unable to cough up $90 to J. Random Freelancer. That's what triggers ranting scream fests and, hence, entertainment.

Word is, the thread has been "moved to a safe place".  Which is a shame; I really wanted to find out how many publishers it took to screw in a lightbulb.

Now I want to make an alt ID of J. Random Freelancer.  :heh:

Maybe I will when I get home.  I just need to find a pic of the comic shop owner from the Simpsons.  :heh:

Quote from: revealIf we were talking about next Thursday being the 15th that she will be paid, then I agree with your argument. However, the product in question was released on May 4th, which means they should have been paid on May 15th.
Sorry, Bro, that isn't how it works.

See, the 15th of the month is when the PREVIOUS months earning are paid out.

This is much like the way you are paid on Monday or Tuesday for work you did the week before.

If it was released on May 4th, her first payday would be June 15th.

She can either learn to deal with it, or do her own fucking shit.

It's that goddamn simple.

Damn, that's more than I've typed in about 4 days. YAY FOR OXYCOTTON! I can work again!
I am becoming more and more hollow, and am not sure how much of the man I was remains.

I dunno, a couple of ex-WotC continue to make snarky comments whenever possible, years down the line. :) Perhaps the smaller companies have bright flameouts while the larger ones breed seething contempt and ill-will that lasts a lifetime. :)

So is this thread going to become a thread about pretentious asshats on another forum that has a thread with a bunch of pretentious asshats talking about pretentious asshats on another forum?

Just wondering, I need to know how I want to join in on the fun...
