    Update 8/11:

    My group of hardcore Linkers has been grinding away clicking links each day. Today 3 more accounts were created.  In a very short while I will have a new account. 

    Thanks to Dleatherus for having his minions clicking away!!
    Now I can use this account to wear my black robes and roam the countryside saying “I told you so”

    I read almost all of this post, and I have no idea what is going on.

    I think Slapshot either loves or hates this game.  I can't tell.

    Some people come on here complaining about Slapshots love or hate for the game, and then I'm even more confused as to who likes or doesn't like this game, and possibly some hidden homosexual feelings towards Slapshot.  I can't tell.

    Caspian sounds like a goofball.  That I can tell.

    The game is close to release?  I can't tell.  

    Is a game being played for the game?  Is there a reason?  Vox Elyria, Mud Elyria.  WTF?  Are these out?

    Maybe SBS does this just to try to keep the community that have pledged to their game involved.  If so, thats not bad.  I wish other games I've pledged to would give me something to do, even remotely related to the game.

    I think his stellar personality has made him a pariah among the games elite ruling class, and thus his investment is lost. Hence his cries before about wanting a refund, and now he is just trolling on about the game in some hope to make sure everyone else also losses their investment.

    Pitiful really.. but you just know he brought this upon himself.

    Personally, I find is hilarious. 

    Added: Also.. Just some friendly advice.. don't wear a black robe while wondering the country side saying "I told you so" .. as I am sure that will get you killed.. maybe several times over.

    On phone so hope format isn't too bad.

    I love the idea.  I hate the implementation and the approach that will doom it to failure.

    You noticed that too? Yes, I have my own booster/stalker club.  It's kind of cool/scary at the same time.

    Caspian sounds like a goofball.  That I can tell.
    IMHO, Caspien is a dreamer without anyone to steer him in the right direction.  I believe he has good intentions but is sorely lacking someone to act as the adult and get him on track when he roams far afield.

    The game is close to release?  I can't tell.  
    HAHAHA. No.. they have not even entered Alpha yet. Per the company, no backer has entered testing yet.

    Is a game being played for the game?  Is there a reason?  Vox Elyria, Mud Elyria.  WTF?  Are these out?
    Yes, Caspien tends to wander and get off track.  VoxElyria (formerly ElyriaMud) is his attempt to build a Mincecraft like version of his game for testing. He has also promised a Prelude single player game. DLC add ons to buy for that which convert it into a mulitplayer game that a DM can create adventures for, a Kingdoms Game where Kings and Nobility will play to determine starting positions for their Kingdoms and now this SearingPlague event/sale.  So far all we have experienced is the sale/event which consists of sitting in Discord or forums and spamming links to trade Plague or Pure back and forth. Yes.  It is as exciting as it sounds!  But he spices it up by making lore statements which are the equivalent of: "NPC RACE XYZ has entered the fray... +5% to the Cure bar!!!".  Really riveting stuff! (Oh yeah, you can buy stuff in the shop to help... of course).

    Maybe SBS does this just to try to keep the community that have pledged to their game involved.  If so, thats not bad.  I wish other games I've pledged to would give me something to do, even remotely related to the game.
    I think there were 3 reasons. The first is to try and give the community SOMETHING.. since they have literally been here for years waiting for a game that was promised by Dec 2017.  The second was to raise money.  Since they have been unable to land a publisher and had to layoff staff about 8 months ago they need all they can get and the last few sales have been underwhelming as far as I can see.   The third reason is to increase the player pool.  Since the sales are drying up and I think Caspien said only 10% of the players are even participating in this "event" they need to grow the base.  Even if that means they have to give away accounts for free.  This method lets them do it without pissing off their existing base for giving away something for which they had to pay. The down side is all the attention that was directed to this by the dev team instead of actually making the game which is massively behind schedule already.

    I have many investments. I am not sure what a "game investor" is. I have stock in EA I bought around 15 years back. Does that count?  I have stock in Microsoft and they make XBOX.  Does that count?

    I don't have any stock in CIG, CSE, Artcraft, Paizo, Portalarium or any other game I crowdfunded.  Why would someone think that would make me an investor?  I'm not.  I'm a customer.  I exchange money for services or goods rendered. 

    Anyhow.. on the topic of the sale/event-  Getting super close to being Purified.  Definitely within the next couple of days.

    No. you exchanged money for POTENTIAL goods and services with the foreknowledge you might not get anything at all...that is called a gambler.

    And having stock does not make you an investor, it makes you a stock holder.

    investor

    Neither a speculator (who takes on high risks for high rewards) nor a gambler (who takes on the risk of total loss for out of proportion rewards) but one whose primary objectives are preservation ofthe original investment (the principal), a steady income, and capital appreciation.

    No.. you think it's sad because you keep picking the wrong fights and loosing, or just being a total chicken about it when invited to make your point and not mess up other threads.

    Nothing happened to the Mystichaze account. I just logged with my old account by mistake. So don't assume I am trying to hide. As for coming back I won't be, it really isn't worth my time. But every now and then I pop in to see what is going on.
