Podcast Topic(s)

This episode — the much-belated first of 2019 — was actually the second recording of the night, the first having been partly lost due to WtF Dragon’s computer crashing. Audacity, which we use to record episodes, is pretty good at crash recovery, but in this case only saved about half of the audio from the pre-crash recording session. And to make matters worse, by the time WtF Dragon was able to rejoin the discussion, the conversation had moved on to a substantially different topic, and there was no way to easily merge the pre-crash audio with the post-crash recording. Fortunately, though, the large group of people who were able to join the conversation — including some long lost voices — talked for almost two hours more after recording resumed.

    Little recent Shroud coverage update; MassivelyOP.com finally starts to take a more critical approach to Shroud, and Chris Spears melts down in comments yet again, begging them to warp their coverage to agree with his attempts to hide the Pay2Win elements and add on store.

    The little sneer about critics from the Editor’s comments however is against me, because I reminded Chris Spears on a now deleted comment he had the perfect chance to try and talk to critics when he was summoned to the American Arbitration Association, and give an answer as to why he banned me on the word of someone who said directly to Spears that he felt compelled to try and harass me until I went insane.

    Bree Royce of MassivelyOP.com was of course the editor who allowed Spears to claim I’d threatened his children, then deleted my post pointing out the forums he said it happened on didn’t even exist when he claimed I’d posted the threats there.

    MassivelyOP.com have also had the AAA documents too, so they should know just how well sourced the claims actually are. But as part of the dirtiness that surrounds anything connected to Shroud, MOP have always deleted any reference, whilst trying to claim the critics can’t source what they’re saying. Not there, no.

    But it still happened. Once more, UltimaCodex, take the risk and contact me and publish the story.

      Would you mind posting this on a SotA news article instead? It’s not really material to this SSSH episode; we don’t discuss SotA near enough for it to be topical.

        Haven’t been here since, so I hadn’t seen this response sorry. I’ve written the wider context up again onto the article discussing it published since.
