The whole GM drama is a ruse.
No- Sadly it isnt. Its long past insane as fuck though and hopefully comes to a quick end and james walks away and doesnt look back.
Greed Monger is like a cursed object that makes everyone who touches it crazy. It was conceived with some Black Witchcraft and destroys lives. If greed monger was a person , it would be a baby puncher or a Liberian warlord.
I think someday there will be a book written about this shit because as fucking crazy as it is- its...Interesting as all hell on so many levels and says so many things about human nature. there could be future university courses based on the teachings of GM.
This thing really needs to officially die and not ever be resurrected , never again. Or quickly finished and walked away from- Something. And it needs to happen soon.
After being involved with this shit quite closely for so long I probably have more questions and more issues that just defy logic than I did when i started. At times I actually feel bad for Appleton because I have a better understanding of how he was fucked from the start and didnt have a chance (he brought that on himself in many ways) and trying to work online with people , exchanging money and being reliant on trust is a recipe for disaster especially if you're not an expert in the field and even have to rely on others to explain shit to you.
I have learned how not to do shit and that any task I ever undertake I want to be able to do it by my damn self if I have to or have someone in the same office/basement/dungeon to choke if I need to. =P
How and why this is still alive- I still am scratching my head. Why Appleton would even want anything to do with this after he was able to walk away free and clear is beyond me. Why james didnt just do city life and came back to working on GM is beyond me.
If I was james I would shut this thing down or simplify it to the extreme and just release it and be done. Move on. This has done nothing good for anybody whos been involved from Appleton and james to the backers. The stress and the problems james has been dealing with arent worth it and its going to get worse and worse until this thing is just dead.
This is like a guy who has a giant hole in his porch and every single morning he trips on the hole. He doesnt fix the hole, doesnt walk around the hole but just trips on that motherfucker every single time he walks out his door. At some point hes going to break something.
I have alot of feelings about all this and james knows them and I'm not going to even talk about it here. i'm just baffled about the entire thing.
Oh well, I'm tired as hell. G'night codex.
