I guess this explains alot..

This whole phil saga...its like the greatest comedy show in the world. The greatest writers in the world couldn't come up with something this ridiculous.

Seems like his whole life just revolves around submissiveness.

Is Keith off the soma or what's going on?

Phil's Patreon accounting seems strange because he is using the "charge up front" option. New patrons are charged immediately (well, actually within 72 hours) when they make or raise a pledge during that first month. If they don't delete the pledge by the end of the month they are charged again. So whoever made that $50 pledge and then deleted it did it to add $50 to the coffers without being charged $50 again at month's end.

So Phil is actually right for once--he will receive fifty dollars more than the amount reflected on his Patreon page. How 900+ 50 = 1125 = 1250 is beyond me though. The bottom line is this hidden extra money combined with the lost money due to charges being denied allows Phil to claim that he did or didn't make his goal as he sees fit--no matter what his Patreon page says.

Phil, you're doing Patreon wrong. It's not PayPal. It's not KickStarter. You're a buffoon.

I don't care if he's right when you get the entertainment of reading stuff like this:

"incorrect."

I still dont believe this patreon bullshit that the number is incorrect.

Didnt he lowered it with 200 after he failed to reach it? And not too long ago, he upped it with 100. He lied soo many times about this, he just cant get out of it, he needs to keep lying. The whole point of the instant charge is so there are no, or less fake pledges.

Patreon, like Phil, is so scummy. I emailed them to see if they had anything in place to prevent fraud from the person getting the money; if there was anything preventing the person from lying about hitting goals or not so they can manipulate doing rewards. The response I got back from them was basically that there is no transparency and that it's up to the pledger to decide whether or not they want to continue to give money or not. Just scummy stuff all around.

It seems to me (and this is pure conjecture) that DSP struggles every month between missing the goal and hurting his pride or making the goal which means he has to do whatever he promised plus it hurts his e-begging efforts--and perhaps the outcome isn't totally controlled by his patron's donations. Last month he claimed that he made the goal (though his Patreon said he didn't) because people did the move I described above at the last minute and no one noticed. In many other months he claimed that he didn't make the goal (despite his Patreon page showing that he did) because so many charges were denied.

Far be it for me to accuse DSP of shenanigans, but if you search YouTube for "DSP Patreon" you can follow the history of the month-end total versus his claim whether or not the goal was met. It all seems really, really sketchy. Perhaps I'll compile it all sometime, but probably not because I'm really lazy and my model railroad won't run on time by itself.

"I still need your donations or I can't pay my bills! So what if I had a lahbster dinner at a fancy restaurant last night, dood? Get the fuhk outta here, stoopid bitch. ACK ACK ACK"

Phil actually have to do the goal. If he do decide to "stick to his guns" and don't do the goal because he didn't get that last 20 dollars or whatever, there'll be genuine fans asking him why he needs that extra pateron bucks if someone tipped him 100 dollars on stream. It may actual be the meltdown of his patreon ()
Mind you, he may decide to play "graceful" do count tips towards the goal on his own just to cover his ass.

 

[PL 879]

Giant ass twitlonger about how he's basically hit the goal already, and how he "misspoke multiple times" about the patreon goal.

DSP addressing the very eye-opening videos which show empirically that Phil on more than one occasion mislead his viewing audience about the Halloween Marathon goal - "These people are the lowest form of human life: they rely on me to give them something to make these drama-filled, one-sided, factually incorrect videos about, so they can get their fifteen minutes of fame. Only the stupidest of the gullible human race would watch or believe them. They're just plain stupid, as is anyone who would watch that kind of filth and believe it to begin with."

Notice he doesn't directly explain why he specifically pointed out in early August that it was going to be the first time the goal wouldn't need to be met for the Marathon to happen. That is not a miswording or slip of the tongue on DSP's part. He said it, later changed his mind after deciding he didn't want to do a goal without being fully funded, and is now calling anyone who calls him out on it "the stupidest of the gullible human race."

This was posted in the BSV thread and thought I would post it here too. This is hilarious, BSV went to Butler School. The man is an actual Butler.

Finally Vidar can realise his dream of being DSP's butler forever.

Yeah it was posted a couple pages back.

I can't get over how poorly constructed his arguments are, the whole bit about "slander-video-making idiots" doesn't hold up because the D. Davidson videos are literally taken from his pre-streams. It's not like people are taking his footage and making a highly edited compilation like a Dick Strokin' Phil vlog

Phil is the epitome of short-term thinking, all that matters is what he's saying currently, not what he has said in the past or what's he's said he'll do in the future, if anything conflicts it's your fault that you don't understand.

 

[Freshtodeath]

That's one of Phil's biggest flaws. The TIHYDP are literally raw footage from phil himself there is little or no slander going on. Maybe he thinks his viewers are too dumb to remember what he has talked about in the past. The prestreams provide mostly archived footage of his lies and poor behavior.

 

[DarkSydePundit]

There is a hashtag going around on Twitter called #DSPArmy and I'm quite shocked how many people DSP has that support him ... 2 whole people.

 

[Dragon Tag]

Amazing.

I will laugh if DSP blocks them or bitches about how they should donate to his pay-tree-ehn, okay?

 

[Brian Butterfield]

Dood I was blahcking kahm ahnnn

I've been watching some TIHYDPs of various Street Fighters, Mortal Kombats, Tekkens etc. and it's mind-boggling how DSP can alternate between denying empirical evidence and simply stating complete fabrications. He'll say he blocked when the screen clearly reads Counter-Hit in SFIV. His Urien can't beat Ken because he doesn't have any anti-air, then he spams Metallic Sphere because it has anti-air. His "fireball" doesn't come out in MK9 because the game is bugged, even though he has no meter to actually perform the move.

At a certain point you have to wonder how much his sodium intake and lack of stimuli has atrophied his senses to the point where he believes his bullshit.

Friendly reminder he flat out refuses to change his region in USF2 to North America then complains about lag as well.

He needs excuses, he refuses to admit people are better than him.

EDIT: I'm told by EddyB43 the Patreon and transaction fees don't need to be removed. When Patreon switched over to the way they display numbers now they not only take into account declined pledges but these two things as well. So these totals are too low.

I'd like to point out that DSP was at $1133 at the end of July due to a temporary (as in given then withdrawn) pledge. That was enough to hit the then $1125 goal. As far as I can tell by adding all the increases to the amount he started with he was $383 past it, not barely past it. There is one blip on the July 1 that I included that added about $132 to the end total and I wonder if that's a glitch in Patreon's display. If I don't include that blip it would put him at an even $250 past it instead.

This month he has most recently claimed he was $170 under the goal. I make him out to be around $140 under. I am missing about two weeks of Patreon data, so the amount I have him at is going to be less than what he's really at because I missed out on new/increased pledges.

The numbers:
