Not really new and definitely not good. He's gone quiet again too.

So regarding the former, do you mean it was just rewrites of his previous material?

'Fraid so

Quote from: Luca;1043412It would have been infinitely better for both the creator and the backers to declare it a failure a long time ago and end it then and there.

Sometimes, you really need to understand when it's better to cut your losses. This is one of those times.

No KS project should ever admit failure until after the statute of limitations has passed for commercial lawsuits in the state of New York.  The KS terms mandate that all legal action has to be filed in that jurisdiction, so once you hit the statute of limitations there, you are clear.

Oh, look. Gareth was sick. Again.

Bubble Boy had a better immune system.

Repugnant, lying piece of shit.

Anyone have the "Not Ghosting" post from today?

Quote from: Mistwell;1057342Anyone have the "Not Ghosting" post from today?

Yes. Here you go:

"Hey folks --

I realize that you haven't heard anything from me in two weeks as of today, so I wanted to touch base with you and assure you that I haven't disappeared.  Work is still ongoing.

Those of you who follow me and Eric on Twitter will know that Adamant got hit by some illness over the past couple of weeks -- (https://twitter.com/mercuryeric/status/1042476666692358144) -- which is quite a feat, given that we're a virtual office, separated by 2000 miles!   Eric often says that years and years of doing big conventions in August and September have worn a groove in our immune systems, so now we get con crud without even going to the cons.

Anyway -- as you might imagine, this slowed us down a bit, hence no manuscript deliveries.  A situation exacerbated by the fact that we're giving them to you in book order, rather than as they are done (some of the latter chapters are already finished, but we want to give you these in the order that you'd read them in the core book).

The next delivery to you will either be occurring later this evening, or (more likely) Monday,  and, since we're both feeling much better, I expect things will be back up to full speed in the coming week.

I saw in the comments of the last update that some of you had some problems with the Dropbox delivery links.  If that's still an issue for you, please drop me a line at gms@adamantentertainment.com and I can send them to you directly.

More later,

Gareth-Michael Skarka
Lawrence, Kansas
21 September 2018"

Translation: My most debilitating condition is pathological lying and the anger at not getting away with it sickens me.

I honestly haven't read the new d6 versions yet.  I liked the original version from a few years ago that just didn't have the setting chapter in it.  At this point, I'd almost rather just have the setting stuff system-neutral and be done.  I must have at least four other games I could use to play Wuxia Westerns that are already done right now.

Hmm, that's an interesting point. And do you know what the statute of limitations is?

Six years for breach of contract
N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 213(2)

Meanwhile, Cortex Prime was supposed to be physically shipped back in April, but doesn't even have PDF versions sent yet. Oh, but Patreon supporters get access to the latest builds and versions of it rather than yaknow, the Kickstarter backers who actually funded it.

Except it's usually measured starting from the event which reasonably alerts you to the fact of an actual breach. In addition, if the other party is saying, "I will have it for you next week" then that's essentially a new verbal contract with it's own statute of limitations (usually 2 years).

Agreed, but I suspect a judge would declare a reasonable date after the KS's failure to meet it's delivery date as that "reasonably alerts". I could see a judge saying that 3 years from the end of the KS would be the start date. AKA, if you didn't get your book after 7 years and you didn't do shit about it for 2 more years, its your problem.

I wonder about "I'll gladly pay your Tuesday" for actually restarting the clock. Does that have legal precedent? It's certainly better than a verbal contract since its direct communication with the backers via the KS platform.

But GMS is safe because he only owes each person small potatoes. They could go to small claims in his backyard, but that's expensive travel for most backers. Otherwise, its a class action which means hiring lawyers and paying court fees and wrangling backers. The Robotech Tactics Kickstarter has/had a Facebook group of backers trying to launch something against Palladium because of that debacle, but I doubt that will ever see the light of day because of legal costs.

Didn't GMS all ready have one of the Attorney Generals of a state on his ass about refunds and such a few years back? If so, wouldn't that affect any future litigation, since he was forced to give some people refunds due to that?
