How do you guys know about his link to Stormfront, etc...?
I was looking forward to seeing how Grimoire turns out, but if he's really such a bastard, then I'm not sure I want to get the game.
But is there any evidence other then hearsay?

From his response

Listen to what I'm going to tell you. When you're as bright as I am, you have to appreciate - seriously, I'm not kidding - nearly ANYTHING that COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH can send ordinary humans into a raging, frothing mad frenzy, honestly.
This is hilarious. So Cleve is bright and everyone else is an ordinary human? LOL! Think Cleve might be a little delusional? I would think someone as bright as Cleve would figure out how to not put his foot in his mouth in public. But, I guess he’s too smart to figure that one out. :roll:

What the fuck do you think they are? Look at the content of the sites.

Err... maybe he's at work, like me, and doesn't want to risk viewing potentially objectionable material to find out?

No need to be an ass about it Ex... it was just a simple question.

And of course, the obvious question going back to the topic of this site would be:

Cleve, if you're so damned bright, how come it took you nine years to finish a Wizardry clone?

Seriously. I'd love to have an answer to that. It's not like he's coming up with something new and innovative that takes years and years of research, planning and creativity here. It's a damned Wizardry clone.

That's one reason why I'm predicting this game will suck, quite frankly. If it takes you nine years to make an "old school" game and you think you're the smartest human being ever, I don't have a lot of faith in your ability to make something that's actually worth a crap.

Not to mention that anybody with a superior intellect like that would be likely to get bored real fast building fallout shelters and wizardry clones.

Huh? Grimiore is finished?

Since when?

It's still vapourware in my book.

Yeah, I'm waiting for the release date to be pushed back yet again.
Theyre talking about 200 bugs found already, can you imagine how long its gonna take Cleve "I program like a sloth" Blakemore to fix all those?

I always find it wacky how people will say 'this game has an old school throwback' when the game was around/getting to be made when the shit was still new.

In case Sol does not post this...
Cleve responds:
RPGCodex goes off the deep end!

I went over to RPGCodex to see if they had taken the link down to the product backend and I read some news posts by some idiot over there that made me laugh so hard I had tears coming to my eyes.

The guy was claiming I was a known supporter of neonazi organizations, that I was close personal friends with Jeffrey Dahmer and that I may have been implicated in the Hindenburg disaster. He was just posting one wild accusation after another, each more incredible than the previous one - to back up his claims he posted some quotes from me saying Aussies were lazy, Brits were socialists and Canadians were losers. Technically, there is some awesomely libelous print over there on RPGCodex. At different points this little twit connected me with "Stormfront," (I think I've heard of it) and the "Aryan Alliance," (what the hell is that?) or some such madness. I couldn't believe the stuff this guy was making up. He suggested I may have actually been photographed in a group portrait with Dr. Evil and Mini-Me at the International Super-Villain convention in San Francisco last summer. It was wild stuff.

I banned this guy from the forum about a year ago because frankly, he was one creepy dude. He creeped out everybody he came into contact with, cursed, poured text onto the board from his cut'n'paste buffer, six pages at a time. You'll notice his signature on RPGCODEX is actually instructions to teenagers on how to properly commit suicide with a razor blade. These are the kinds of people your parents warned you about on the Internet. RPGCODEX seems to draw these people the way a cow paddock draws flies. They're all over there.

There isn't anything ever said or written by me that could support the whacky claims made about me by the nuts over there. RPGCodex is for people who will never make more than $12,000 a year, collect Pez dispensers, spend hours learning to speak Klingon and are likely to die unwept in a government subsidized flophouse somewhere from Type A diabetes and rickets. Mentally we're talking people with an average intellectual age of around seven.

The last political organization I gave money to was Greenpeace, about twenty years ago. I have been non-political since that time and have not actually voted in an election in any Western nation in more than twenty five years.

About four years ago, AmericanPatrol.com asked me if they could reprint one of my forum posts about the effects that Mexicans were having on health care in California. I told them no because I never like any of my stuff used by political people, ever. I'm so far past any of that stuff I can't tell you.

A guy who builds a 400 square meter underground blast shelter is way, way past politics, kids. When you're a grownup you'll understand. Somebody like that would be so far past the point of believing they could change anything for the better they would have withdrawn completely from the marketplace of ideas altogether. They would have opted completely out of the monkeys-in-manpants exchanges once and for all.

Occasionally sitting on a fencepost on a forum somewhere and throwing barbs at all the tender naive rubes going by has never failed to amuse me. I do it sometimes not because I think I can change anything, but perhaps for the same reasons that farmers sometimes sit out in lawn chairs and watch the lemming stampedes headed for the cliff. It's funny. Laughing is important. I never failed to find the humor in anything, ever, because I really enjoy taking the wind out of bogus things. If you asked me, if I think I know something that others don't, would I have a responsibility to tell them? I'd ask you, would I have this responsibility if I knew in advance they would not listen? That's why I am an absolutely apolitical human being.

When I was in Sydney a couple of years back, I was at the survivalist convention down there looking for good deals on gas masks in quantity to resell up this way in Brisbane. There was a guy running a nazi militaria table who told me Hitler was a "great man." I asked him if he was such a great man, how come he was never able to get and hold down a day job in his entire adult life? How come he had never kissed a girl? I asked him if he was so great, why did the German Army have to send two soldiers to Britain to pull him off his brother Aleph's couch where he went to hide from the draft in WWI? If he was such a great man, why did his fellow bums at the Mannheim Men's shelter pay money to purchase bunks far enough away from Adolph that they didn't have to smell him?

Anyway, I had a crowd of those really funny nazi militaria guys gathered around me a few minutes later, they were all screaming I was a "bolshevist" and probably a "pinko communist bastard." They wanted to know who "put me up to it," if I was a "crypto-zionist" sent over to wreck their little booth of gay Nazi militaria.

Listen to what I'm going to tell you. When you're as bright as I am, you have to appreciate - seriously, I'm not kidding - nearly ANYTHING that COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH can send ordinary humans into a raging, frothing mad frenzy, honestly. I can walk out of my front porch, shield my eyes from the morning sun and say it looks like rain. In less than thirty seconds, an angry mob with a roll of rope will have gathered, calling for my death as a service to the nation. No, I'm not kidding.

Yes, you're right. I think the term adults use is "out of your fucking mind".

Isn't anyone the least bit afraid of this guy?

If I understand him correctly, he denies that he is a nazi on the grounds that Hitler was too liberal for him. He appears to be connected to groups of people who feel the same way. I dunno, isn't this possibly dangerous in the US?

Mind you, I'm not trying to be alarmist. I'm only asking.

Well, no wonder it took him 12 years to get his game done, if it took him more than 5 minutes to figure out how to stop hotlinking of images from his site.

You know, this is funnier than any sort of troll about him someone could have thought up...who would believe this?

That sounds like 6 months of work at least, even full time.

I stand corrected. He's been working on that Wizardry clone for 14 years and still going.

Now..

Probably not since you didn't email me with a link to the problem and ask me nicely to fix it. Instead, you started acting like a cock smoker.

Technically, there is some awesomely libelous print over there on RPGCodex.

Try it.

RPGCodex is for people who will never make more than $12,000 a year

I pay more than that a year in RENT.

Type A diabetes

First of all, Mr. Smart Guy Extrodinaire, diabetes types are classified by Roman Numerals. Secondly, the type you're wanting is actually Type II - NOT Type I, which are the cases where they've gotten too fat for their bodies to process insulin their bodies still make naturally. Type I are the people who don't produce insulin at sufficient levels. Dumbass.

Oh yeah, and that's a nice gut you have, Cleve.

I do it sometimes not because I think I can change anything, but perhaps for the same reasons that farmers sometimes sit out in lawn chairs and watch the lemming stampedes headed for the cliff. It's funny.

That lemming thing is a complete myth. The world's smartest man is pretty damned ignorant, it seems.

There was a guy running a nazi militaria table who told me Hitler was a "great man." I asked him if he was such a great man, how come he was never able to get and hold down a day job in his entire adult life?

When was the last time you were employed again, Cleve? 1990 was it?

How come he had never kissed a girl?

Eva Braun? Hello?

I asked him if he was so great, why did the German Army have to send two soldiers to Britain to pull him off his brother Aleph's couch where he went to hide from the draft in WWI?

Hitler dodged the draft? He joined the German Army!

Perhaps the World's Smartest Man is confusing the German Army with the Austrian Army?

Listen to what I'm going to tell you. When you're as bright as I am, you have to appreciate - seriously, I'm not kidding - nearly ANYTHING that COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH can send ordinary humans into a raging, frothing mad frenzy, honestly.

I hear ya, Cleve! I'm laughing my ass off that you feel that RPGCodex is important enough to bitch about on your front page. I mean, to take time off the game you've been working on for 14 fucking years just to whine about our little web page. That's freakin' COMEDY GOLD, baby!

He could at least be consistent in his nuttiness. Everyone knows Hitler was a pretty big war hero, if you can be a hero in a war like that.

It is amazing some of the shit he says that is just idiotic and obviously incorrect. I don't know everything, but you would think someone so supposedly smart would be cautious talking about things they know nothing about so they would not look like a total jackass.

See, that's the problem, he DOES know everything about everything, he's just being scarce with the actual facts because the pitchfork mob is keeping him under constant surveillance. Don't you see? He's only one spot-on weather forecast from being lynched!

Sush, the NWO is tracing everything.

They, along with Al Gore, created the interweb as a way to spy on our Aryan brothers as they wage war upon the Jewish banker pigdogs.

Some may say that Cleve is a little bitch for cowering in a cave and taking pleasure in the suffering of his fellow men and women, but we know the truth.

With his Depleted Uranium bones, superior intellect and his awe inspiring ability to procrastinate, he will rebuild the world once the mud races have destroyed it!
