    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    This post on the Pantheon forums just makes me shake my head. Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen - Advanced Forum Detail Topic - 38 Studios still has one employee I wonder if anyone else there sees some of the comparisons. Could all be said about Brad too, but they just don't see it despite being...

    Unless the $45k was needed to pay taxes... Like property taxes. Best way to keep the IRS off your back is to keep them paid up and everything looking on the up and up.

    Brad was the only one will access to the accounts. No one else on the team would be on the hook for anything more than Brad paid them. If the IRS goes after VRI, only Brad will face the heat of it.

    Not just that, as Lister said the game industry is incestuous. Even if they won, no other major developer would ever hire them in the future. They would be all labeled as whistle blowers and be black listed.

    I don't think much would change. His absences would at least have a different reason for happening, but his 15 minutes of posting every 12-14 days wouldn't need to change and he could still collect "donations" from his supplicants. No one would even notice he had a 9-5 gig. Status Quo.

    Even though they are releasing some great demo videos for Unity, they are none the less building something. The shame is that Brad will get the credit for anything they do produce when I am pretty confident other people like Monty or Kyn are acting the role of brain trusts. I hope someone...

    Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen - Advanced Forum Detail Topic - Question about your Funding and supporter count. I think I know which two Cats at Pantheon don't get along.

    From what I understand Vhalen, Ben and Brad were the 3 full time people on the project. Everyone else had other incomes and didn't necessarily work on Pantheon every day. Vhalen Started working with Brad back in August of last year. Ben came on I think in mid-late December. About a month or...

    Other than 3 of them, all the others had full time jobs and were only working on the project in their off time. I know Vhalen and Ben were two of the full timers and I think Vu was part time. Everyone else other than Brad had other jobs through out the project, so much like the new volunteer...

    Doing some more math guess work... Brad Advanced $45k to himself. Was this going forward from March or did this include "back pay" as well starting from October? If from March then let's say he paid himself the same for the months prior to the advance. October to March @ $9K = $54k, Paid...

    Brad couldn't even answer the simple questions we asked on his time on with out sounding like a broken record. Brad is welcome to come on, we have lots of tar and feathers for him. He wouldn't come back on because he can't answer any questions with honest answers with out admitting he is scaming...

    Chris is a financial advisor and investor. Someone posted a link once to his online portfolio. He had something like $1 billion worth amongst all his clients in investment and what not. My guess is that $20k wasn't to pay Chris any kind of Salary but to invest. Likely in something high risk for...

    You have proof of this? I don't care for some of my competition, but if someone who worked for them took them to court I would be paying attention to why and if they applied to work for me I would not hire them. Any time anyone is in court it has a negative connotation to it. One that I do...

    All the audio is linked on our site, all the dev's we had on which was almost all of them said there were contracts they had with VRI. You can hear for yourself. There is not much to spin to be honest. Frenzic even compared notes from two different sources on the funds and how they were divided...
