It's hard for me to believe that Sandi is Matilda.

That's a hard thing to fake, especially over a long period of time, and Sandi just isn't that good of an actress.

The lack of acting ability is the most damning reasoning it's not her stated yet.

Very true. It's just a weird thing to pull out of your rear end. Seems like the number of backers granted a refund would be closely guarded by CIG.

I don't think it's her, btw.

Yeah, I'm not worrying about it yet. "Some dude told derek smart he had plans to do a thing on the internet" is different than anything coming of/being made public about the outcome of it. If it turns out to not be Sandi, and the person is doxxed, then I'll be sad because that's out of line. Until then it's just more SC drama to have people get ruffled over.

As much as we'd benefit from the (incredibly unlikely, come on) reveal that Karl is Sandi we're not doing the dirty or asking anyone else to. It seems like some random internet detective has taken it upon themselves and will inform DS if they get a positive.

Is that a long enough stick to poke the poo with?

"calculated with 850k backers in total" - except it's already been said that this figure is the total number of ships owned by everyone in the game, so the actual number of backers is far less than that. I'd say Karl is just talking poo poo.

CIG continue to refuse to reveal the number of actual people who have paid money to back the game or what percentage of their money comes from a small number of whales.

We're thinking it's Sandi. Ortwin is a dumb-rear end who just happens to be a media attorney. No way in hell he would engage in using alts to attack dissenters. This has all the makings of it being Sandi.

Here is the original where is says 1300 people have received refunds. How would this person know that? I don't recall that information being anywhere. I checked.

No, I don't think there's any chance this is Sandi unless she shares an account with Ortwin. I'm leaning toward Ortwin.

She may not need to be. Her replies to Beer indicate that she's not that good with English in the first place.

Not, it's more than that I think

1. Offers "Ortwin" for legal representation against Dolvak (that clown who threatened to ruin my career and who quickly backed off when he heard back from me)

https://www.reddit.com/r/DerekSmart/comments/3q5f9p/so_i_just_got_doxed_by_derek/cwc6gm3

2. Knows about the number of refunds. A number that, according to Google, doesn't appear anywhere

https://www.reddit.com/r/DerekSmart/comments/3kwnz6/more_excepts_of_crazy/cv1k4oa

Aside from all the other analysis (e.g. writing) already run. At first, I was just discounting it as Karl (who has disappeared from the face of the Earth) being Matilda2013.

You are forgetting that Sandi has spoken in German. Claims to know German etc How hard would it be for her to fake it in writing?

Plus, how many Germans do you know, who have ever been on a hate campaign and spend so much time on this one thing (me)? Plus, have you seen this person's post history? No? Go to to http://reddit.com/u/Matilda2013 or use http://searchreddit.com and see.

I am 75% convinced it's her. And now that someone is looking into it, all it would take is one person to ...yeah right. Naturally since they are reading this forum, I'm not going to reveal how they could be unmasked
