[QUOTE=Wii60;45867606][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DIYiJaj.png[/IMG] this is a polygon mod[/QUOTE] I guess he also made a tweet about Swatting anyone who he disagreed with or something? Ah, posted above me. But seriously, most mods are batshit insane.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;45867722][img]http://i.4cdn.org/v/1409618603214.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] How long do you guys think he'll keep his job.

If he were in any sane company he would've been fired on the spot, but this is gaming journalism, where things like "don't antagonize your customers" don't apply.

I also want to point out that he is threatening to do something that is very illegal on fucking twitter.

[QUOTE=Thlis;45867872]He seems to think he is. [url]https://twitter.com/GSAR_Sho/status/506631758021144578[/url][/QUOTE] or he is a troll

He is a troll IIRC, according to someone on /v/.

Someone claim to have revealed his identity and notified the police. Others have forwarded his tweets to the FBI. Whether he's really a mod or a fake, he's probably going to have to face the consequences.

Ive been away for a week but it looks like the Quinnspiracy is stull running rampant and as crazy as ever, updates?

I have literally no idea what is happening [editline]1st September 2014[/editline] I've been watching the InternetAristocrat videos and still don't understand anything

[QUOTE=lope;45868037]I have literally no idea what is happening [editline]1st September 2014[/editline] I've been watching the InternetAristocrat videos and still don't understand anything[/QUOTE] Basically an ex-boyfriend of a chic (Zoe) who works in the indie and 'gaming journalism' scene revealed some info about her that accuses her of corruption. Soon after a whole bag of worms opened up and it turns out dozens of people are involved in some pretty heavy corruption that marginalizes even her.

something tweeted to adam baldwin and internet aristocrat. although for some reason it is very tiny. [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bwe44_PCEAEpr81.jpg[/img]

Red alert - reddit just donated enough money to create their own character design for TFYC: [url]https://twitter.com/TFYCapitalists/status/506646353607667712[/url] Fuck, we should get in on this. What if we all pitched in $20? We'd just need 100 Facepunchers and we could design our own character. [editline]2nd September 2014[/editline] It would be super easy to do too. I bet I could get Ariel Connor and my twitter followers in on this with a referral link, so we could raise money and give Vivian more friends to play bad video games with.

I haven't donated yet, and I was gonna do it under 4chan's link. I'd gladly make it a FP link instead.

Hell, I could even make a video about it and publish it on my youtube channels this weekend. Plus, 25 days should be plenty of time. All you really need is $20 from 100 people, which wouldn't be that hard to do if we had some major site announcements or something and some dedicated threads about it.

Meet the charity game guest starring Vivian, Reddy, Garry, Ebaum, and Zubaz!

By the way, to make a referral link: [quote]Additional Organizations are free to make a referral link as well by contacting [email]media@thefineyoungcapitalists.com[/email][/quote] I'm busy moving into college tomorrow, but if someone can do this and post the link, that would be great. [editline]2nd September 2014[/editline] Fuck it, I'm on it. Just sent an e-mail, will post the link if/when I get a reply.

[QUOTE=Valnar;45868502]That quote at the end wasn't by Voltaire. It was by Kevin Storm, a neo-nazi.[/QUOTE] It's still a good quote...even if the creator is an asshole.

[b]Here's the referral link for Facepunch.[/b] [url]https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-fine-young-capitalists--2/x/8560087[/url] It's $2k for a character. Feel free to spread it around, we have 25 days, and even a few spare bucks help. Feel free to make a separate thread for this too, or so.

[QUOTE=BigPalooka;45868521]It's still a good quote...even if the creator is an asshole.[/QUOTE] Its pretty dishonest or ignorant to misattribute a quote. Also the tech raptor guys don't even know if their host was trying to silence them. So how can the person who made this picture know for sure? [URL]https://twitter.com/TechRaptr[/URL] Edit. Plus, don't you see the really ironic thing with that picture and this whole situation?

[QUOTE=warneccruid;45859196][thumb]http://i.imgur.com/W9ZoMos.png[/thumb][/QUOTE] I just had the most amazing idea. I've seen snippets of a show where celebrities read really negative and offensive tweats that they've received in patronizing tones, then do a short little rebuttal correcting grammar and things like that. Host an event where you get various people on board to read these offensive emails to him, monetize it, and donate to charity. It's fucking perfect. You get to be patronizing as hell, and use their hatred to fuel money towards your goals.

[QUOTE=Wii60;45868634]ill probably donate as soon as i get $$$[/QUOTE] Same! Not sure how much but I want to donate a lot. Would love to see the entire forum get in on this too.
