Seemingly all but their youngest girl(though Im sure they'll find something official for her to do), yes. As for her resume, once you take out most of the poor malarky she "made" and a parent group, you're left with a house wife that home schools for religious reasons.

Not really if this complaint post last November on Facebook about Landmark by her is any indication: https://www.facebook.com/EverQuestLi...3?stream_ref=5 Laurene Wells: "Was interested, but this kind of expensive. Some of us are suffering under massive inflation and recession...

Brad is by his own admission distancing himself from the project. He said he was fishing for a CEO and that he just wanted to be in the vapid position of chief creative officer. Those on the project like the Cult Family and others see it as an opportunity to take the reins to a certain...

Kickstarter working as intended, basically.

Are you sure he's Australian? The captain captarding, cliches, and diarreah of run on sentences in that quote make me think he's more likely Tasmanian. :P

Brad ran off with half the money raised after the KS failed, lied to both devs and backers about how much, paid a couple thousand if that to some devs with the remainder, didnt reimburse some devs for purchases via the unity store as agreed to at the time, and even had the gall to ask back some...

Cool, I'll look forward to it at a bargain bin 10 bucks or less come steams following summer sale. So sense to rush in and pay 60+ bucks for it at release. :P

It looks like the owner of the PJ Pantheon site has finally closed it. No surprise there.

I'd say those collecting such arent doing so for the sake of a documentary. I think their intentions are much more serious.

Maybe Westboro could be an angel investor now? Some one mail Westboro and get pantheon on their radar.

Maybe they should make a Wack-A-Mole game instead at this point.

I would say that Brad is distancing himself(as he typically does and as his stated intent this week) from the operations of the project and has given free range of the rest to do as they please unless or until Sparkling fully solidifies her control. Then those that she still doesn't see as...

Right Nirtixx simply has mod status and no real decision making. Its a crayon engineer position to keep her appeased and make the project look misdirectionally "diversified" when the reality is quite different.

Oh I know, Fren. But the irony is you'd probably get hired as stated. On the dev topic, I noticed that its not just Laurene and her husband on the team but Rivan(daughter?) as well. Im starting to wonder just how many more are associated with Lauren directly in this religious family coup...

So you were fired as a dev from the project? You've a golden ticket to go work any where in the industry now. SOE will snap you up just to pour salt in Brad's wounds.

I may be misremembering but the 80k payroll tally is too high. The unaccounted for is closer to half the raised total at the time of the team exodus. But again I could be misremembering. Originally it was 42k then stated up to 52k so even at the current considered 62k its interesting that it...

The documents that salim has on the debacle show its actually even worse than that. He'd said any person currently involved in the project can take a look at them and make their own decisions going on from there a while back. Whether he's still continuing to do so I dont know...

I've actually thought a great premise for a game would be a religious version of one of those Tycoon games. Following Tycoon! Build your cult with the goal of getting it to be officially recognized as a religion, making tons of cash and keeping deprogrammers, the irs, and the police at bay...

I wholly believe it was intended fleecing. I would agree that the original plan to fleece wasn't set out to just simply take the money and run as Brad is virtually doing now, but that had(and it never would've) the project met its ks goals, kept the current team, etc that brad's intention was...

It could implode between factions on the team(already happening slowly due to personality and "beliefs" clashing). It could end in more than one current person on the team in cuffs due to the mishandling of the money and those who are accessories to it(remember anyone who helps falsify the...

I disagree though. At its core(Brad), the project was destined to result in this debacle. It would have lingeringly unfolded later than sooner is all. All of this is Brad's incompetence and intended fleecing. The KS goal not being met was a symptom of that core cause.

I had a funny thought. I could very easily see Brad attempting to "sell" the rights of the game and his "name" off to his current Producer Laurene Wells given her desire to turn Pantheon into a religious mmo. Passive involvement is Brad's schtick now so it would fit well. That very well may be...

Nirrtix replied to you so Im figuring it'll stay, unless canadina take issue with it which might happen as it seems canadina doesnt like nirrtix much.

First Winner of the Gaming Darwinian Awards goes to.....

More than one. Reminds me of a dormie way back who was on crack and constantly begged people for money and looked for any excuse to be given money. I think the worst was when he was demanding people tip him for holding the door open for people coming in and out of the dorm.

Canadina has deleted any posts over the last day or two that was critical or even neutral, yes. It seems to have prompted the cultists to post a rather silly, poorly written/organized "Forum Guidelines" post as well. Im surprised the invites to bible study groups and "love bombing" hasnt...

I saw this cult like atmosphere brewing so so early with how many were just jumping onto the project back at the onset of the kickstarter. None were asking serious questions and just following into it with blind faith that reminded me all too well of the folks who flocked to Jim Baker decades...

The facebook posted the same pic/asset before the first team left. Laurene Wells (Sparkling) - Producer & Lore Master Ron Wells (Tandarin) - Operations & IT Manager Husband and wife religious nuts. Yeah that's gonna go over well. http://www.linkedin.com/in/laurenewells John Diasparra...

"Let's raise a happy little zombie over here.... and so he isnt lonely, let's raise another one right next to him...." Epicness.

I've always like this vid by Stephen Fry on language and his disdain for pedants:Stephen Fry on language. [VIDEO]

There is a rather glaring pattern with how some who were involved with it seem to continue to make bad choices. Glutton for punishment.

Maybe they can get the Welsh Christan Party that recently condemned the Welsh flag's dragon as satanic as an angel investor. Should be a perfect match.Welsh Christian group says dragon flag News If that doesn't work there's always westboro I suppose.

This comes as no surprise, given the cult like environment Brad has built.

Well, the god of dookie chute gaming does seem apt....:P

Any article that puts McQuaid in the list as an up and coming game creator -after- all the mess has come out about him pretty much toilet bowl swirls it and the writer.

The irony on that is layered thicker than the scabs on a Brazilian shanty hooker. But I've said before Brad should go work for Trion. Its a good match. Im sure they can make him a director of community relations or something... So he's got volunteer programers not familiar with the code...

Yep. 100%. The guy Monteseur they're lauding as their zone creator has only been piddling around in Unity as well for 10ish months too if I remember right. I'm wholly expecting the next announcement to be they've gotten a 14 year old who makes TF2 maps at this point.

Oh? Lemme guess, he'll probably also have comments disabled too.

Yep the selling the car crap, according to that from Salim, was a lie.

Its a fair portion of what convo was quoting salim about last night on the thread but its a citable reference for folks with regards to his saying like Brad took more than 50% of the funds and not the smaller amounts Brad's be PR'ing.
