Same pattern here as everywhere Richard. You make an unsubstantiated claim to 'insider' knowledge, it's pointed out to you that you're mistaken. You respond with personal insults and snarky lectures about unconnected 'facts' whilst agreeing that you were in fact wrong initially and didn't know what you claimed to know.
Next you'll claim you were just trolling and we all fell for it.
It's tired.

Actually, since there's no point it keeping it a semi-secret, the ship date is today and tomorrow. They're packing the boxes right now.

[Xeno_RG]

Sorry mate, but you are acting like a total dickhead.

Insult a guy and he doesn't act friendly. News at 11.



To specify, I'm referring the sideways insult in that first line up there are the top of the page. The rest of the post is just affectations. That, and I actually forgot about the bet (aside from the "I need to mail something to someone part). Color me mildly embarrassed.


By the way, who's in the running right now?

[Xeno_RG]

You just dont get it Xeno. I am not insulting you. This is a very nice european forum much like an expensive porshe. One does not yell out of the windows of said car like a white van man. For that I would need a forum thats more like a ford feista. 

Riiiiiiight

[Andrew May]

Sounds like you need to go back to frothers then RG.....

[Centaur_Seducer]

Thank you Xeno!
Your contribution to this thread is great!
You rock!

[Andrew May]

Is that my sarcasm alarm I hear?

They are now officially in stock:

They are NOT in stock. They are in production at the factory and need to have the 'sprue' snipped, be shipped/transported to Defiance, and put into packaging before they are in stock. They are close, but they are not 'In Stock' except on the web store, where they have been 'in stock' for months.

I guess, technically you're right. After all, they do have to drive them the whole HOUR from the factory to Defiance Games world headquarters (a.k.a. Tony's house), then box them, then drive them to the post office and ship them. So, at the time that video was shot, I guess you could say they were an hour from being in stock.

it just amuses me at this point to poke certain people people and watch them try to get me riled up. It's a little like bear-baiting, except that bears thank they're the ones doing the bating.

You claim to know a 'fact'
You're told you're wrong.
You admit you were wrong and claim you were 'just' trolling.
I think that covers it.

So, are you denying that the product exists despite there being an actually video of it being produced? Or that, if the product exists, it can actually be sold to customers? I mean, I suppose it could just be a collect mass hallucination, possibly involve smoke and mirrors.

Also, trolling:

The usage I normally see of the term involves deception. When I snark, I openly snark, so . . . no deception.

[Xeno_RG]

I am not going to bother with you. All DG product is banned from my house because you sir are an ass. Happy now? End of story.

*shrug*

Honestly, the feeling is mutual. Ever since the whole thing started, the image I've gotten of the wargaming and modeling community has frankly left me disgusted. I've been accused of being liar, openly and ruthlessly insulted, actually had grown men (most of whom seem to be in their 50s) insulting my weight like a bunch of 12 year olds (I mean, seriously, guys, is this what you are?), and seen behavior that'd be shameful in an elementary school, much less in the real world. Much of this, thrillingly enough, has been done by people posting under their own professional identities. Luckily, it's been obvious from the start that it's just a handful of people in an echo chamber. Most of the people I've dealt with in this community have been nice people; the handful are just trolls.

Buy or don't buy, I don't really care. I'm fairly certain that 90% of the people involved in the wargaming community have no idea any of this is going on and don't give a shit one way or the other.

Still gonna send out that box, though.

Okay I am a little confused, is Xeno actually Tony? Is he the 'evil' Chinese businessman trying to thwart Tony yet again? Is he Tony’s evil twin brother? How can he send out boxes? I have been following this thread for many moons and it has been fun but now it got a little bit strange; I feel that I have been left out of a joke. Can someone please explain this conundrum to the uninitiated? 

Thank you all

None of the above. I'm a guy named Richard who is a playtester for Defiance Games' ruleset. A while back I volunteered to be a sort of PR guy since there were a lot of places talking about DG product and no one actually responding. Since then, I've gotten sick of the whole thing. However, as part of the bet about the release date going on here, I've volunteered to toss one of the two boxes of Marines I preordered into the pool. Now Scurv has apparently decided I'm an ass because I mentioned the actual release ship date.

[Damien]

Oh, okay, nice to meet you Richard, enjoy your stay 


Cheers,

I've watched this whole episode with mixed feelings.  Mostly it's just been entertainment, but I've actually come to the conclusion I would get a box or two of these.

But, the self appointed unofficial official PR man has really turned me off.   The constant shit stirring, flame baiting, and trolling is disgusting.

Please make sure your unofficial official boss realizes that your capacity as PR man is costing him sales, because I will not spend a dime on these products.

Just keep the moobs off of here, OK?
