Wheres the rule that says all projects must set a funding goal that covers their whole project?
I can't find that in their rules section.
...it exists in his head only.
Well, and on the Kickstarter web site, (see above) but whatever.
Try not to make it so easy.
You can set additional goals and ask for additional funding, but I thought everyone realised that if you ask people to fund you in a KS project they are paying for what's on the tin's label?

Apparently everyone except Captain LoL.

There's no doubt in my mind whatsoever that SBS were deliberately dishonest in their KS proposal.
Jeromy Walsh knew that saying the KS funding total was only meant to build a "demo for investors" would hugely dampen the enthusiasm of potential backers, so that fact was conveniently omitted...
Sure, there may have been hardcore fans that were already aware of that fact, seeing as they were active on the CoE forums long before the KS arrived, but there would have been many others who would not have known that "hidden detail". New arrivals would have taken the KS info at face value, which is quite acceptable, seeing as that funding proposal should contain all pertinent facts regarding what is being funded.
Would it have been better if the summary said it was a for a prototype in those exact words? I agree. Still doesn't prove dishonesty. The problem here is once again that you cannot take the KS info at face value. You have to do due diligence.
The information required to do a true due diligence isn't required to be provided to potential backers.
Unfortunately, for KS it is required, otherwise it would not be so cheap and accessible for the developer. KS is where projects go that have no other hope.
The funding goal is the amount of money that a creator needs to complete their project
It says nothing about only breaking it if you are dishonest. So please show me where it gives an exception for incompetence. Or says you have to break the rules intentionally.
Then why did you highlight "honest and clearly" if it is not relevant? Convenient at the time to imply dishonesty, but not so much now?
Because clearly when the topic came up Caspian was very open that they did need more cash beyond the kickstarter. My impression was always that the funding goal was for a prototype with which to get further funding.
Your claim is that they set out to deliberately mislead people. That claim is false.
Again that is incorrect
No, all you have is speculation. Driven by your dislike of Caspian because he was rude to you. Which he shouldn't have been. But ultimately there are 3-0-0+ threads on this game, a significant portion started by yourself, for the sole purpose of internet revenge. It is both impressive and sad.
Unless YOU are Caspian! *head explodes*
Incorrect again... I'm going to have to add you to the list with Captain LoL and Groundhog Day guy.
I suppose that is your only recourse. 3-0-0+ threads on how much this game fails is pretty good evidence that you have a massive personal grudge.

Well what is he supposed to answer? The threads he made at least have valid critical points.
All you do is repeat over and over again that he has a grudge as if that would invalidate his points.
So far, objectively speaking, there isn't much to be concerned about - delays and changes happen, Walsh is terrible at communication/pr. But that is about all there is.
Rehearshing those 2 same "points" over and over...now that's trolling.
Slap pretty clearly has a personal grudge against CoE.
Slap also raises some good, valid criticisms about the project and how its handled. These are worth looking at for anyone interested in the project.
Both are true.
Also @Gdemami, I want you to stop trolling and be more critical about the games you identify with.
This is the thing, Caspian/SBS are worthy of criticism but there does need to be a balance because more often than not the discussion tilts all the way across to hyperbole and disingenuous trolling. That is often the only reason I post is to highlight that. Of course if you are uncritical of SBS in anyway your are a fanboy, which just further illustrates how off balance most of the commentary here is.

No one is arguing that Slap has an emotional affiliation with this project. He is a critical character. Always has been. And honestly a part of is already looking forward to him covering the nonsense promises the revamped Mortal Online will bring with it.
The point is he won't allow himself to be blinded by his critical stance and that is why his input is still valued in this community even after years of critical coverage.

Please, Slap repeats the same criticisms of SBS over and over. For all the valid criticisms of the COE forum's ivory tower mentality, a similar thing happens here. Lots of backslapping for anyone that is critical and immediate dogpile of someone that is less than critical.
Please, Slap repeats the same criticisms of SBS over and over.
Fair enough but that is partly cause Caspien repeats the same mistakes over and over again as well.
When you are 2 years past your release date and you still have not even an alpha to show and instead toss more features towards the community which no one asked for then he simply didn't learn his lesson.
It will keep going like this for a few years until Caspien finally reveals something playable for a bigger audience.

...nah, that will only result in "$5.5M gets you... part II" thread - equally ignorant and equally stupid.
CoE isn't a problem, that very thread is a proof of whst an actual issue is.
CoE is a huge problem. 5.5 mil flushed down the toilet means people like us who would actually like a new and fresh concept will never see it cause all the money is just tossed towards incompetent wannabe developers who have no idea how to make an actual game.
Just keep promising and the gullible will keep on giving you money. No one has a reason to make a game anymore cause this is just more profitable.

Is it because the KS proposal could be withholding some important info perhaps ?

...his ignorance and self-entitlement aren't sufficient to make his "points" even remotely valid.

Lets stay on target.
