SpoilerWhy are the kliks trapping them there?
wait those are rabbit ears? H'uh. thought they were pony/pigtails.
Who wants to guess that Idle's actually a busty humanoid cursed into being a flat-chested goblin?
I don't care about these characters Thunt! We all know you're only introducing them so you can kill them in grotesque ways. Again.
Get back to the plot!
Question about Not-Walter and the Maze of Many. Our Kin freed him, but he was part of Reality 38. Since Reality 38 didn't win, it should reset, so Not-Walter should still be in thrall to MinMax 38. But he seemed to be able to escape the Maze through a portal to Hell (at least, that's where Kin told him to go). So is he now free from the maze (and MinMax 38), or is he still in the maze and in thrall to MinMax 38?
Presumably he gets reset. We know they normally died in the tower room, so they were getting past him somehow each time.
It doesn't really make sense for him to get reset, but oh well.
So there's been another twork in the plot, and Twogath is going to be stuck tworaging in the Klik twotress two a while until such time as he can persuade Ward, Bowst and Idle to accompany him to the nearest exit so he can be reunited with Minmax and the GAP, and finally go to the epic showdown of ultimate destiny against the twomidable Kore. What a series of untwotunate events.:smallcool:
Edit: Since I'm on this tworum, I figured I'd ask. Did anyone else read Ward with a Brooklyn/Italian accent? Like those wannabe gangster Scicilian types.
keep in mind that this is likely not "our" not-walter, just an alternate version of him from reality 38. not sure wether or not he's getting reset or cloned or what though.
and i got an email today from kickstarter saying that GAR was going under leagal disputes. i'm assuming this is a good thing for Thunt. the kickstarter page has been taken down at least.
Do people think that Ward is being run by Drasst/Tuck's player? He is little & short & mean.
from the look of Thunt's Youtube channel it looks like he has a thing for Onyx. or at least Ruby/Onyx's relationship :P
Thunt posted a blog, is unhappy with the email that was sent to everyone. He also dissects it. It's not 100% clear if he realises it's a template email automatically sent to all backers in such cases and not something anyone specifically wrote for this situation. I think he realises that but he's ranting anyways, but I'm not completely sure. He's right though that the fact it was sent to all backers does mean they can send messages to all backers. But hey, I've always assumed they can, they just don't do it simply because someone (who isn't the creator of the project) asks them to.
However the blog doesn't answer the question of whether the project being taken down was caused by Thunt or something else. I was expecting him to explain "so the Kickstarter page was taken down after I did A, B and C" but the way the blog goes, I'm not even sure if he's the one responsible.
Either way, my guess is that the people at Kickstarter either forgot the automated email that gets sends to everyone in such cases, or couldn't be bothered to change it (or maybe couldn't change it? The person who cancels projects might not be one of the programmers).
Still I think it's a step in the right direction. I hope.
on the bright side nobody will be able to buy nonexistant merch from the guy while the kickstarter is down, right?
I'm kinda confused by the whole kickstarter situation... any place I can get a good summary on what happened? Someone stole money? :smalleek:
Someone wanted to make a Goblins game and spoke to Thunt about doing so. Thunt and the guy came up with some ideas and a Kickstarter was born. The kickstarter was run by the guy, not by Thunt. It was a huge success, and after it was complete there were still ways for people to pre-order the game.
After many months Thunt was unable to contact the guy he was in business with. He got suspicious and began trying to get a hold of him via various means. Nothing worked, thus leading Thunt to believe the guy had simply taken the money and disappeared (while continuing to get money from people who are trying to pre-order).
Thunt notified people as to what was going on and contacted Kickstarter. Kickstarter refused to deal with him because, despite the IP being his, he was not in any way, shape, or form involved with the Kickstarter.
Thunt should have gotten a lawyer but instead spent a lot of time and effort going back and forth with the Kickstarter staff who were unable/unwilling to help him because of the fact that he wasn't (officially) involved in the project. My opinion is that he was trying to make the situation go viral by repeatedly posting these conversations he had with them, but it didn't go anywhere.
During all of this he also decided that he was personally at fault and vowed to make the game himself and find a way to distribute it to the backers of the project that he was not officially involved with (he had linked to it and promoted it, but my opinion is that he's more of a victim than anybody else involved) all the while continuing to post updates and warnings to people - basically doing everything except for talk to a lawyer.
And now, somehow, the project page has been taken down and he is freaking out because they (Kickstarter) did something they told him they couldn't do (even though they never had any reason or rationale to help him at all since he was not involved in the project).
tl;dr - Thunt made a deal with the devil, the devil ran off after earning a bunch of money as a kickstarter project creator. Thunt has no official role in anything that's happened and rather than get a lawyer he's done nothing but make the situation harder on himself while repeatedly trying to make the situation go viral. Thunt got screwed hard, people who backed the game got screwed as well. Situation sucks.
I struggle at times to determine which is greater - the project creator's malfeasance, or Thunt's naivete.
