I just went and read Dina's latest comments. I'm wishing i had pledged just so I could comment and see how far over the edge I could push her.

I really do wonder what excuse/reason they'll try to concoct.

Last time it was a 'part timer' that they let go

Will they claim they were hacked? I just can't believe this person/people [since we have no way of knowing who is who and how many there are]

OMG! gotta record this!

Hey Sushi!
Wow. $15 all in, eh?
Pull the one armed bandit.
Seems like screaming at the bus stop is the same as being Robert Hughes, or is that an elitist comment?

Nice ghetto house. Why do you live in Japan? What do you do for a living? What education do you have? Why do you have DWM as your name? Where do you work? Can I see some of your current art? Do you have references on top of your $20 Pledge?

In their willingness to waste their considerable talent on unworthy material the Zeppelin has produced an album which is sadly reminiscent of [the Jeff Beck Group's] Truth. Like the Beck group they are also perfectly willing to make themselves a two- (or, more accurately, one-a-half) man show. It would seem that, if they’re to help fill the void created by the demise of Cream, they will have to find a producer (and editor) and some material worthy of their collective attention.

The whole album is a shuck — despite the murky songtitles and some inane lyrics that sound like Vanilla Fudge paying doggerel tribute to Aleister Crowley, the album has nothing to do with spiritualism, the occult, or anything much except stiff recitations of Cream clichés that sound like the musicians learned them out of a book, grinding on and on with dogged persistence

These guys are so French I want to force-feed them and cut out their livers. Young moderns who’ve made the Detroit-Berlin adjustment may find their squelchy synth sounds humanistic; young moderns whose asses sport parallel ports may dance till they crash. But Yank fun is much less spirituel [sic], so that God bless America, ‘One More Time’ is merely an annoying novelty stateside. The way our butts plug in, there are better beats on the damn Jadakiss CD.

Radiohead wouldn’t know a tragic hero if they were cramming for their A levels, and their idea of soul is Bono, who they imitate further at the risk of looking even more ridiculous than they already do

For those not completely sold on its folk charm, Aeroplane is thin-blooded, woolgathering stuff

A throwaway line about how — and we’re paraphrasing here — “focusing on drone and repetition makes the album sound, well, droney and repetitive. ” Well, duh

Even if Seventh Tree is sonic dishwater, I’ll give Goldfrapp enough credit to assume that this isn’t change for its own sake, that the motivation for this album’s tone wasn’t simply a fatigued boredom with their old sound. It’s just too bad most listeners won’t be able to say the same about their own reactions to this new one.

Lacking any mentionable instrumental proficiency, [Eno] claims he ‘treats’ other musicians’ instruments — though the end product of his efforts would have to be classed as indiscernible… His record is annoying because it doesn’t do anything

There are certain records that are so patently offensive that one wishes to take some kind of physical vengeance on the artists that perpetrate them.

About Exile on Main Street:
Exile On Main Street spends its four sides shading the same song in as many variations as there are Rolling Stone readymades to fill them, and if on the one hand they prove the group’s eternal constancy and appeal, it’s on the other that you can leave the album and still feel vaguely unsatisfied, not quite brought to the peaks that this band of bands has always held out as a special prize in the past… I still think that the great Stones album of their mature period is yet to come. Hopefully, Exile On Main Street will give them the solid footing they need to open up, and with a little horizon-expanding (perhaps honed by two months on the road), they might even deliver it to us the next time around.

Wow. I got you guys one better.

I just got some lovely private messages from them just now, and whoever is in their comment section just went off the deep end.

Here you guys go! Spoilered, because their attitude is so awesome!



But wait, I got more!



Nothing but class! Might as well show everyone else just how classy these guys are!

Somebody is definitely high!!!!

Holy crap...

Reaper just did a lockdown on their ADW threads. I can't blame them; there really isn't much productive to say about this. Hard to stay away though, isn't it?

What is Kickstarter doing? This kind of behaviour from creators should not be tolerated!!!

What delusional world has them convinced that they are in the top 20% of miniature sculpting/production? They haven't gotten their feet off the ground and their sculpts are easily in the bottom 40% bracket, and that's being generous.

All I know is that I am the world's greatest mini critic according to ADW, you all you gaming suckas out there better check yo self!

Sorry, wrong thread.

I feel really sorry for the people that are losing their money on these Kickstarters

...but it is amazing watching all of this unfold.

It was only a matter of time b4 these knuckleheads totally imploded.

We should rename the subject.

Thats's what happens when you consume your entire collection of Port at once.

I feel sorry for the people who pledged for this in good faith. Way to wreck it for well-intentioned, good quality mini startups, ADW.

Might have missed something but surely this KS must be in breach of something or other by now?

I already contacted Kickstarter, as he's enjoying calling me out at the moment.

The guy is digging his own grave at the moment. The more he harasses and comments on the ridiculous comparisons, the worst it's getting.

Yet again, this returns to familiar territory.

Calling people out? Challenging them to come to NYC for a face to face?

Where have we seen this before?

This guy is a fething psycho. Now he's posting wall-of-text rants about musicians...

It's just copy-pasted extracts from Rolling Stone articles, from what I can lazily google.

I would say it's some sort of attempt to push the negative comments down the page, but then he starts challenging Highlord to a phone call, so I really don't know.

What I do know is this it's AMAZING entertainment

How about you act like a real man and pick up the phone. Or do you really, really need to post in a public forum so you appear like a strong highlord guy"


Let's act like real man and suspend these insulting arrogant fething psycho from Kickstarter!

Reckon Highlord should pick up and record it

I'm fairly uncomfortable revealing the content of PMs, but I think I can provide hints to mine, 'cos it's basically her known attitude to the rest of the mini industry and it's customers, only couched in stronger terms. I'll directly quote this one bit, from many:

We provide what no dumb feth in the mini industry has the intelligence to provide.

I kinda feel like accepting her challenge.

A smarter move would be to call KS and have them conference in this scum bag (while still recording it).

Lol. I don't think the backers are the ones that need suspended. I suggest Dina Andrews Walker contacts kickstarter and brings this all to their attention.

Heavens knows, this project has been reported numerous times, and KS just ignored the reports. Maybe a message from the creator would finally light the fire under KS backside to make them look further into this.

I highly doubt that the creators want KS looking any further into this. This has scam written all over it.

Found this gem in the latest update on IAM:

we have been asked AGAIN AND AGAIN for WIP. We are doing that and now we have the `don`t show WIP` people coming out.
Colin is correct. We are trying to provide more communication. And, we have crap posts from people that have Pledged less than $20
If Kerr wants a job, contact me and we will set it up, otherwise, you have three PR people fulfilling

He/she/it seems to have something against people who gave him/her/it smaller amounts of money, but his/her/it's whole selling point is "look at all the freebies!"

Get on it Highlord! Plenty of manufacturers to choose from...

MissMelons, great seeing you here!

Highlord, you are our point man in this mess. If you go down, I swear we shall come for you. At the very least your corpse shall be extracted, and then mummified and preserved, forever revered as a memory of a hero who fought alone. And when I say mummified... I of course mean embedded in Castilene.

Sorry for the confusion.
