Alright, who wants to bet someone will call Chris Avellone on Monday first thing in the morning to clear things up about what's coming next, hoping to grab him for their next project before someone else does? Being a pussy about SJW backlash is one thing, but surely they can't be stupid enough to not give him a call. I'd call today.

Or maybe, people who know the guy already talked with him
:ziets:

Also, you gotta appreciate white male making a black woman his proverbial bitch, a scene like this wouldn't happen in current clown world.
Guys, we should preferably make less comments like this, cause Cuntrissa will use it to portray herself a victim of literally KKK to gain sympathy AND MONEY to fight Chris in court, which will in turn drain Avellone's own bank account.

Don't do it for now. We can celebrate with Hitler memes later.

If I can confirm the court and/or locality MCA filed in, we may be able to get copies. At least in my state, the Court filings are open to the public, however, you have to pay for copies.

Checking the California state website now for record of the filing.

Too little too late, nobody cares anymore as the vermin already took their pound of flesh.
The court will care because it will have to deal with the lawsuit. Though if Chris wins, and is vindicated, I think he'll still have trouble getting a job - but that's more to do with the entire industry turning to shit and the wokeism that's burning down America right now. He is still a straight white male after all.

Still, a solid victory might bring a bit of normalcy back and stop the "death by Twitter" band-wagoning.

hope he loses in court
You will never post in shoutbox again.

Consider your shoutboxing privileges... cancelled. :smug:
You on the other hand will never not be physically addicted to psychotherapist drugs
I'd argue I fare better

By the way, you gotta appreciate the timing. She did it on a Friday. He does it on a Friday right back. Good luck finding a lawyer on the weekend.

I'm just worried about the statute of limitation. It expired in March. If he gets rejected in court on the grounds of statute of limitation, we'll never hear the end of it. Cuntrissa will claim the courts sided with her.
If an attorney filed the claim, then I suspect they were within the statute of limitations. Otherwise, if the attorney filed a claim barred by law that could lead to a complaint/reprimand (taking money from a client for an impossible case; causing the defendant to incur costs/embarrassment in an impossible case). MCA's attorney would either have to be crooked or a greenhorn, and Neville Johnson's website looked legit.

He's already been cancelled.

He's a white heterosexual male.

He's wasting his breath. He should have stood up for himself the moment this happened and told the crazy bitches to go fuck themselves with their smears and lies.
lmao no dude
People love seeing cancel victims tell these harpies off, and twatter psychos can't reeeesist having a shit fit when their authority is challenged.
This will open shit up all over again, hit-pieces will be written, people will stand in solidarity behind Chris, and a bunch of losers who don't even play RPGs will be outraged. Streisand effect incoming.

I wonder if the recent case with the Factorio dev inspired him to cross the Rubicon? It sounds like he has been preparing for a while.

Chris, if you are reading this, real RPG fans love and support you, and reasonable people know that these days these false accusations happen all the time. If I see people spreading smears about you online I'll calmly refute them.

Presumably doing it this late means he can show actual damages too, not just potential future loss of income. Hopefully these chicks end up indebted to him for the rest of their lives.
