SCHISM from DEFIANT - Kickstarter ft. Jim Shooter, David Lapham

[reddog]

sniff sniff...and you personally hurt me....and you're wrong, I couldn't personally hurt a fly and maybe ten people are reading my bs but only you send threatening messages...you want me to eat something that would kill me...

reddog is a bot... and very low iq for a bot..
what makes this a scam???
dinesh aka BCBoy is scamming people clearly... has NOT sent out the kindt kickstarter from 2023??? would you say that is a scam??? im sure the schism crew would be getting crucified if they did that.. but because its bad idea theyre allowed to steal.from people??? THEN they LIE AGAIN AND STEAL PEOPLES MONEY AGAIN ON THIS AWFUL PIZZA DETECTIVE BOOK!! WTF?!
THEY ARE LYING AND STEALING... PERIOD.. AND YOU TRY TO TEAR DOWN THE SCHISM BOOKS??
*SQUEE* you
Dinesh has always been a sniveling turd.. always..
reddog people are reading your stupid BS...
you are personally hurting jim shooter, jj, and others..
literally

[ManofTheAtom]

Now now girls, stop fighting! You're *both* pretty!

[reddog]

thank you but i'm not fighting...and i'm not a girl

[syzhang28]

um... i think the point that was being made was.. there are actual scams on kickstarter.. everyone doubted the schism crew but isnt questioning that one, which is 100% a scam, they are saying its a scam..
a real kickstarter is what the schism kickstarter is.. thats the irony..

The more you protest, the guiltier you sound.

[valiantdude]

youre both actually *SQUEE*.. like for real

If he’s a bot, how can he have an iq? Aren’t bots just scripts that have a pretty limited range of responses? No capacity that would be described by iq.

Your inconsistency distracts from your otherwise rambling and unfocused ad hominem attacks, dude.

[buff-beardo]

Half way there. 30 days to go. This isn’t looking good to succeed.

Back to the vaults these go until a more worthy creator makes it happen with less grandiose thoughts.

Hello!

Please stop with the negativity. Its hurting the project. Since you don't know this, Kickstarter makes you guess the amount of books you think you might print beforehand, basically people you think you can sell to, as far as individual units, and guess the shipping amount of all of those units, and include that in the grand total you are requesting. We had no clue how many people would be interested and what that would look like. Perhaps we should have chosen a way lower number based on the amount of books actually being printed. We geared for 1000 copies of each issues being printed, not 150. That would've significantly lowered the amount we asked for. We just didn't know how this very unique project was going to hit or not.
If this does not succeed we will do it again, now that we know exactly how many people are interested and how they are willing to help us.

Thanks,
Jake

Bold faced lie. Kickstarter has nothing to do with the amount of books you print. And your campaign is failing because you refuse to be honest about the rights. I've had some many conversations with hard core defiant readers that won't back because they don't want to support theft.

You're full of crap. You havent spoken to anyone. You say you've got David Laphams email, but refuse to pass it on. Stop making out like you're some all important, all knowing comic guru. How do you know with absolute certainity that this is a scam? Wheres your proof.

If you have something to share with hard evidence, then let us all see. Otherwise, you're just an attention seeking know-it-all.

And you don't have to take my word for it. The poor showing of this kickstarter says it all about what defiant collectors think of this scam.

No, nobody takes your word for it. You just dribble your obnoxious comments all over the place. When you get moron's like you just critcising aboslutely everything, it's going to scare people off. But, you're so well conected, thats how you know everything, even when you've been found out, again and again and again. Instead of helping fellow fans, you like to pretend you somehow know someone or something to validate yourself.

Here's a little tip. If you don't suffer from Autism, maybe you should learn how to converse with people on a respectful manner. If you are on the spectrum, your comments make perfect sense.

One of us is being rude. The other has an opinion. Not being able to appreciate another person's point of view when you disagree is a sure fire indicator of close mindedness. Before you ask me to look into the mirror perhaps you should do so yourself.

You want fans to come here. You don't want them to be scared away. You don't realize that first you have to pull up the roots, expose the rot to sun before you can hope to build a meaningful community. I will continue to call out those that lie. The OP has not been honest.

One of us has narcissistic tendencies, and the other one is me. Not being able to see how rude you really are with just about every comment you post shows how detached you are from reality. Just the fact you accuse me with such certainity of being closed minded shows you are clueless.

You call out people that don't align with your on personal beliefs. That's closed minded. Open minded would be to look into a bit further, giving the OP the ability to show that they genuine in their kickstarter, and you providing information on David Laphams contact details. Not just instantly crapping on the idea because you don't have the intelligence to accept that someone else out there has a good idea. Eveytime you come in here and comment with absolute certainty, just shows you aren't really worth listening to.

This community has been going for over 30 years now, and this forum for over 20 years. Thank goodness Greg has you to tell him how to build a meaningful community.

Well said, Chosen1.

I'd say showing $30,000 worth of interest so far is a really good sign of interest for something like this that is a very niche project within a niche market like 90's comics.

In kickstarters there is usually a surge of funding at the end so there is still a chance, but if not that's awesome that they're planning to adjust their print run estimates and try again with a smaller goal number.

The two people who are claiming its a 'scam' with no evidence are obviously just disgruntled VEI fans who seem bitter because the old school fans still like Shooter, its so stupid. Go start a thread talking about how great the Pizza Detective is or whatever and leave this thread to the people who want to support it
