/gamergatehq/ - HULKAMANIA is running WILD!

You again?

Sorry. Let me explain the "again". An hypothetical anon could have downloaded the files from >>317158 with their original filename. And maybe that insane person could also have created, one month later almost day for day, another thread talking about this Falco nobody. Maybe that anon also posted a similar thread on /v/ last month (http://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/328230079) still using the same filename… but considering how fast the thread was buried, and the overall reactions of various Leaders on site, I'm having a hard time believing that. So I'm going to assume you are that person again, and you are linked to Falco in some ways (maybe you're a backer? an ex dev? I don't know).

Last time, in a thread called "pro-gg dev says raping a woman was a public service" (link above), you asked anons to dig because Falco was doing shady shit with the kickstarter's money. You felt the urge to link him to GG, even though the only proof you had was an article (provided through two different links) written by another dev of Elysian Shadows. While Falco (this asshole), is at best neutral, at worst… well, an asshole (https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&q=gamergate%20from%3Afalcogirgis&src=typd)…

Now you're tying again to push a dig, this time throwing nichegamer.com into the mix. I take that you visit nichegamer since last time, the only source you provided that wasn't elysianshows.com was this site. But whatever, it's not that important. Why are all of these articles from Brandon Orselli ("Founder & Editor-in-Chief at Niche Gamer") specifically? I don't know… no, wait, I do: https://archive.is/sRZjb#selection-455.0-455.119

As far as GamerGate is concerned, Brando Orselli from NicheGamer needs to include a disclosure on every article he wrote regarding Elysian Shadows (especially when he's encouraging readers to throw money in his friend's KickStart campaign). In that regard, sending an e-mail is in order.

Considering the usage of the Kickstarter money, maybe there's something fishy going on (especially if employees are not getting their pay check when they should https://archive.is/Nh0E4#selection-485.81-485.272) but that's not directly a problem for GG.

Now we may have a discussion, only if you're being honest about what you're getting at (you have been attacking this guy from different angles, and I kinda want to know why)

Correction

I'm stupid, I should have checked that right off the bat.

Yes, it is you again'.

You posted misleading links again, this time using early archive of these articles, versions that do not include Brando Orselli's disclosure. More recent archives of these articles begin with:

Full Disclosure: I am friends with game director Falco Girgis and a few other staff members working on Elysian Shadows.

Which brings us back to:

Leader, allow me to summarize:

Pretty much. But there's also something else that doesn't sit quite well.

While OP is posting everywhere he can (http://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/329383958/ – filename again), withdrawing important pieces of info and deliberately framing the situation to force a digging on Falco, there's something weird going on with NicheGamer:

All of the archives provided by OP were from January 27th 2016… except for sRZjb, none of them contains the disclosure from Brandon Orselli (who's friend with part of the dev team). Mglb9, mC0MN, vzK03 and G218G were saved again on February 2nd 2016, and nlXbm and Bv0s5 were not re-archived even though the original pages got updated to include the disclosure.

It means that the disclosure was added at some point between January 27th 2016 and February 2nd 2016 (which is quite overdue if we consider that most of these articles were published in late 2014). I think it was added on January 28th 2016, because cBkLW got its disclosure on that date (the article was saved twice in a couple of days).

TL;DR: something happened before January 27th that urged NicheGamer to update Brandon's articles covering Elysian Shadows. And I think it's related to the drama following Tyler Rogers' disappearance.

Searching for Elysian Shadows returns the official website, twitter accounts, facebook accounts, there's nothing noteworthy until page 2. Then you get two articles from NicheGamer and one from TheGG. His interview with TheGG contains sentences identical, word for word of NicheGamer.

This bit is interesting for all the wrong reasons:

>Apparently I pissed Tyler off with the Misadventures in Kickstarter Crowdfunding Teaser, so he decided to use his army of Ayn Rand-oriented fake Reddit accounts to repost it along with bashing us as being spoiled, whiny, and running off with the money… How do I know those were his accounts? Because they were the same fake accounts we used to use on Reddit to promote ES during our Kickstarter. Surprise!

I'd be interested in asking Orselli why NicheGamer decided to include the disclosure so suddenly.
