Lando: One of the big misconceptions is that folks often think that Citizencon is our biggest show of the year, and if you look at the history, Gamescom is our biggest presentation of the year. It always has been. Because Gamescom has that worldwide audience...Citizencon has always been more of a party more of a insular thing. Its a celebration of the community and what they allow us to do, it's almost like a report back to our,

Erris: Investors?

Lando: Yea I don't like to use the term investors and shareholders cause those have other connotations that don't apply here, but the folks who definitely make this possible it's our chance to go back and give a long form update. And in the past these big events where there are only big events where we showcased alot of this stuff...but because we have now increased the visual stats for AtV so much, because we're showing so much every single week on AtV, those points have to come out of other places, so live streams like gamescom or citizencon or our anniversary live stream, they won't have as great an impact as they would in the past, because in the past it would be like finding a gallon of dry water in the middle of a dry desert, it's now like finding a gallon of water in the middle of a rainstorm.

Some of you may have noticed there was an attempted Coup d’état at Imperial News Network yesterday. However, we regained control over the website, email addresses, and the Twitch channel and we’re back online. Sadly, we’ve had to let a few people go for obvious reasons.

Sadly, our PATREON ACCOUNT was also compromised. If you support INN on Patreon you should stop, the money is no longer connected to the fund used to pay for our expenses. We are working with Patreon to regain control but it is possible we will need to set up a completely new account.

As you can imagine, INN is looking for a few good men and women to join our ranks. Please contact WolfLarsenSC@gmail.com if you are interested in getting involved. Sadly, I’ve learned the team was ignoring many requests to participate with INN and I feel terrible about this. I will be following up on every one as soon as I can. If you’ve contacted us in the past to submit content please connect with me ASAP. We are definitely looking fo more contributors.

In the meantime, we’ll be changing up the program on our Twitch Stream and this week at the regularly scheduled cast we’ll be sponsoring ‘play with INN’. If you’re interested in getting involved, please let me know!

I’m sure there is going to be some conversation, in the coming weeks as the team at INN is rebuilt. I want everyone to know, I have a lot of love in my heart for Eric and David, and the rest of the old INN team and I know they’re going to do great with whatever they put their minds to next. There’s no need for anyone to ever choose sides…The SC community is big enough and healthy enough for us all to thrive!

See you in the ‘verse!

2 - Wolf claims that all the content on the site belongs to him. However, in a statement he wrote, http://archive.is/yJURM, he says ‘Your content will always be owned by you’ So there you have it. As we made all the content on the old site, we own it.

3 - We didn’t originally change the name, because we were told, by Wolf, that he wouldn’t fight us on it.
We’ve now been told by Wolf that he wants $5,000, and a 25% permanent stake in the company before he will give us the site back. Note - the screenshot below was edited at writing to remove Wolf’s real name from the image.



Suffice to say, we’re not going to do that. We might rebrand in the future if we continue to get pushback even though it was made clear this would not happen. We are still assessing our options here.

4 - Twitch - Wolf has now taken our Twitch account, and we likely won’t get that back. That’s unfortunate. We’ll come up with a new one. Once again we were told we would get no pushback on this transition.

5 - Patreon - Wolf said he wouldn’t fight us on this transition, so yes, along with everything else, we kept the Patreon - the supporters of INN support our content, not Wolf.

....

7 - SoundCloud - Wolf has now taken our SoundCloud account from us. That was paid for by the staff, not by Wolf. All content uploaded to the SoundCloud was produced by us and we are the copyright holders and the owners of the source files.

[–]WolfLarsenSC [+1]Pathfinder 2 points
I was hoping to keep this from turning this into more drama...But I think it's fair to respond. I want people to know that what I said in my other post, about feeling love and respect for David and Eric is true. The reality is INN is a business, we are incorporated in Wyoming and I own the majority of the organization. Eric and David are, technically my partners in the business.

The rest of the people who 'signed' this statement are also really great, dedicated people who don't deserve anybody talking trash about them so this is why I've avoided too much detail, but I feel like I deserve a chance to defend my own name in the community.
It's true that over the last year I've disagreed many times with Eric and David about the direction we should take INN. I've preferred a strategy which emphasizes polishing and perfecting our core strengths, where my partners have constantly wanted to expand into areas which we are not really able to deliver excellence consistently. This is evinced in a string of failed 'side projects' in the first year that were, ultimately, a distraction.

It's also true that the website has suffered from stability issues this year, as our popularity and amount of content grew, so grew the demands on the server I originally built the website on.

However, what's missing from David's characterization are the perfectly rational reasons why I was unable to meet every demand the team threw my way. These are actually pretty easy to explain and none of them have anything to do with me not wanting us to be successful, or deliver the best possible experience to everyone on the team and in our community. I'm sure everyone will be shocked to learn that, as the leader of INN, I always wanted the best for everyone involved...It's easier to be successful that way.
Compared to the rest of the team, it is true that my bandwidth is very constrained. It's always been that way. I have an incredibly demanding career which involves a lot of travel. I'm also over 40 years old I don't have as much energy as I used to, but I have almost 20 years of experience building successful web content platforms and I was shared this expertise with the team freely, in lieu of my time.

This year I've developed serious health issues which I'd rather not get into in detail, but I will share that between multiple doctor's appointments and diagnostic appointments I've spent about 8 hours a month in hospitals for the last year. My problems also make me very tired and sometimes I have difficulty talking.

Unfortunately, nobody I trusted enough with the keys to our server (Eric and David) have the technical competency to make some of the changes I also wanted to make, to improve the site's stability and make it possible for multiple people to safely work on the site. This may sound sort fo technical and but I never expected INN to take off the way it did so it was not originally created in an environment which could safely handle with multiple developers. For instance, there was no source control. Ironically, the moment I did trust someone (NYXT) he stole the entire code base and put it on a server I don't have access to, and then deleted my copy. Fortunately, I had a daily backup copy.

A word on timing: Sorry for the rambling nature of these comments, but I am incredibly hurt. For 2 years we collected barely enough money to cover the cost of our infrastructure. This year, I decided to use half of that money to pay for a big house in LA to help the team come out for citizencon. As you can see in the other string, because of the date that David and whoever else hatched this plan to grab INN, they knew at least as early as September they were planning this out. Yet the team came to LA and accepted my hospitality...Ate dinner that I bought and drinks I bought, while my wife sat at home missing me all weekend.

And nobody said a word to me. Yes it's true, yesterday, in a moment of complete shock, I said I won't fight them...But I wasn't even sure yet what I was fighting them on. That's because they sprung this on me at 9AM with no warning, David and Eric said I had no choice, they were cutting me out and I just had to accept it. And then I later learned the site had moved and my own server was vandalized. They had been planning this for months...And I seemingly had no leverage. Could I take them to court? Of course...I am the majority owner of INN Publishing and the CEO. But that would take months of time and lots of money. Once I discovered the conniving nature of their take over plan, I had to act fast...And quietly, to regain control of the site.

So yes...I want something in return for my original investment in this organization, as well as all the other contributions I've made over the years that NYXT didn't see, because he wasn't in all the meetings I had with my co founders, nor privy to anything I was doing behind the scenes with my money, and time, to make INN the best we could make it. Could I have done more? Absolutely. And I wish I did. But do I deserve to be 'flushed out the airlock' because I was trying to balance being a good leader of INN with being a good husband, and a good brother, and a good employee, etc? I leave that to you to decide.
