🥄Mah spoon is too big!🍌
You know, when gamergate was in full swing and my eyes kept sliding off the page at all of the bullshit involved whenever I tried to read up on it I thought maybe that was it, that I was finally out of touch enough that I couldn't take pleasure at poking fun at retards on the internet anymore. But between Roberts' incompetence, the most spectacular implosion of a company I've ever seen happen in real time, Derek loving Smart using his powers for good, and everything that's happened in the last few days, I have a schadenfreude boner the size of a $1500 space ship jpg.

I honestly don't know whether I'd prefer this to keep going just so we can see CIG get deeper and deeper into the poo poo, or immediately implode so we can watch the fallout and the reaction of the true believers.

As soon as I go to sleep this thread gets really loving weird. I'm having trouble telling if this is all a giant joke, it's all too hilarious to be true.

It reminds me of a game I was involved in focus group testing for called "Stargate Worlds". A Stargate themed MMO which made some average progress, stalled a bit then promptly exploded in a pile of million dollar lawsuits.

So how much of this is bullshit and how much might actually have substance?

Please grab a lawyer and see what is going on at CIG. The whole thing is a house of cards. This is your opportunity to either see it is going to be okay or cash out for anything you can get.

http://www.cbetta.com/director/simon-paul-elms-2

Simon Elms was a director at Gizmondo from 1998 to 2008. He went from Managing director to Financial Director in 2004. Three years earlier, a Swedish Mobster named 'Fat Steve' and a business associate bought Gizmondo. Erin Roberts was the Studio Director of Gizmondo Manchester. Simon Elms is now a Financial Director at CIG's Manchester Motion Capture Studio and Erin Roberts is an executive producer on Star Citizen.

Its all true. All these people worked for a money laundering game company run by the Swedish mob. Everything else is a fun ARG.

There's also no loving way on the planet that Simon Elms didn't know he was working for a mobster, since Fat Steve wasn't the subtle sort:

quote:

Establishing a reputation, they started to dress in expensive suits and hold "business meetings" in exclusive Stockholm hotels. Attempting to defraud the Swedish Bank Giro Central of 22 million kronor, Eriksson and Peter Uf, the other future executive of Gizmondo, were found guilty of fraud and counterfeiting. In 1993 and 1994, Eriksson was sentenced to ten years in prison, though he only served half his sentence. Court documents show Eriksson and a partner broke into a man's home, destroyed his property, and punched him repeatedly in the face. Eriksson also held a knife to the man's throat, threatened to cut off his fingers, and finally shoved a gun into the man's mouth.[3] The Swedish police had great difficulty finding people who dared to testify, and the head witness later survived two bomb attacks.[5]

The best part to a blog like that would be reading the brown sea to see what off the wall denial they fabricate.

Depends. Does the police have problem finding witnesses that are a) not to scared to talk and b) not exploded? If so, then we're about even. Otherwise, no, Fat Steve got us beat.
