Are... Are you trolling? Doobie promised lots of kickstarter rewards, some easy some impossible. Then he changed what he was going to use the donations for from an reasonable hot dog cart to a literal shack converted badly into a restaurant. Then he gave 1 of them and utterly reneged in the most smug manner possible. Then insulted people who politely inquired about the ks rewards by saying they don't understand ownership. Not until then did goons freak out.

Doobie shot first.
Didn't nearly everyone in the initial thread just say that they didn't want their reward they just wanted the business to succeed? Iirc there was an alternative reward proposed where he made a map with thumbtacks to represent the doners or something but by and large people weren't actually looking to be reimbursed they just wanted to help start a random small business they heard about through the awful kickstarter thread.

The entire gimmick was that it was an impoverished southern man we were supporting.

That's exacly the point: He didnt have to overtly rescind his promises, nobody cared and nobody was going to his remote restaurant anyway. But instead of just forgetting about it, and being happy people funded his dreams to come true with no real expectations, he said poo poo like "sorry I can 't honor my free combos promise, becAuse we don't offer combos." He couldn't even make A DOG WITH RELISH, which was what he said he'd do to honor the Goons ks backers. Then, when people said stuff like "hey how come you cant just make a dog with relish" and such, he said something smug like "you don't understand the difference between being a donor and OWNERSHIP." It was loving bizarre.

Then, he did all that idiot poo poo with overstretching his funds: renting a place sight unseen, not realizing you have to pay taxes on ks donations etc.

Instead of rolling with the punches, he got SUPER DEFENSIVE and like declared people who had the nerve to politely second guess him "bad froggers," surf the SA thread and passive-aggressively respond to every slight on his facebook, and pretty much act like a smug douche. That's what caused most goons to start giving him bad reviews and all that poo poo, and it just spiraled from there.

At least, that's how I remember it. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, but we'll never know because the awesome original thread about this, starcitizen, and Dayz got gassed.

I found out about doob like 4 months after he got all his funding, and have just been loving every angle of it. The guy who gave up his weird adult christmas for doob; the crazy goons who donated and then decided to touch the poop with bad fb reviews; the rational goons who just second-guess his most horrible business decisions; the angry goons who have to criticize everything he does, even the normal stuff; and behind it all, the doobster himself, who is acting like a kid who never learned the playground rule of "just ignore them. Plus just the general rural-Alabama-ness of it all. They are trying to rile you up." . This has been my all time favorite SA thing.

In the ballpark of 15k iirc for a kickstarter of a man who wanted to make a hotdog shack. In return for this we got a dude who made a hotdog shack that's been running for close to a year now.
don't forget that he quickly wasted all that money getting ripped off for various things, then after a failed followup kickstarter (drat you lesbiam hacker) he sold his boat and a truck. in his mind at that point he was completely self funded.

also it was like april or something so it's only like a half a year and he's already blaming us for slow sales

Tasha replies in the "doob's getting a website" fb post about how God will judge all the bad froggers.
It takes a special combination of naivity plus self-centeredness to think that a bogus fb review of a rural hot dog stand is what brings the wrath of the Almighty.

I liked the screencap of the review that was negative and he flipped out accusing the person of never being there. The person then responded what they do puts them on the road a lot and if he can't handle that mild criticism, he should not be in the business.

It was p funny

For the doob-defenders, please understand the temptation we face: doob reads this thread, he really does... Then he reponds to a good percentage of the hate in these threads... On his BUSINESS FACEBOOK PAGE. This is a thing that regularly happens.

Doobs is closing his FB as soon as he gets his legit website right? I think it was earlier this week he made an angry FB status on it, thanking SA for all their hard work.

That's what caused most goons to start giving him bad reviews and all that poo poo, and it just spiraled from there.
and by this point in the saga almost everyone who actually donated had long since checked out of the threads due to boredom or disgust. but it's more convenient to lump the donators, the people posting his dumb poo poo and laughing, the unfunny poop touchers, and the guy who jizzed on a photo all in one bucket

after all doob does this too, and called me out on a loving business Facebook page when I never to this day either donated him a cent or posted anything on his dumb page. just cause i happened to be posting jokes in a retarded forum thread.

as for whether people wanted their rewards, he asked months later via the lovely Kickstarter backer question thing and I bet the vast majority of backers had moved on and never even saw the poo poo in their spam box. and he basically weaseled out of the one reward he did give out once he realized it would cost him a $10 sale every loving time (even though nobody could be loving bothered to go get it)

also where's that guy with the dog avatar, didn't doobie make a rap song calling him out in the last thread? I stopped reading it once the gamergate poo poo started.

then when it gets quiet for a while, he gets lonely and loving posts a rap or something to get attention again

oh and remember a week or two after opening, after complaining about selling his boat and truck to cover the shortfall of those mean old bad froggers, he posted a picture gloating about the awesome new rims he put on his truck

"ik" stands for "Imp King", the uh "rulers" of the Imp Zone subforum of Games. They have non-poo poo opinions of video games and enjoy provoking MMO players into blind rages then reporting them without any context.

They also have stealth mods. Very advanced technology.
