Yeah, he's kept to the standard 'west coast' twitter habits. If you just reshare stuff every now and then about politics and keep most of it to the ballot box, you still keep my respect...and boy does Liam have it. He and Tony Jay are the reasons I got into voice acting. Part of that was teenage-sperg out over WoW:TBC(first time he took up the role of Illidan), but part of it was legitimate awesomeness.

It's the smart move. It's too bad so many people on twitter are willing to sacrifice half their audience just to get more points from the ones that are left. Of course, the fact that non-Texan VAs are mostly avoiding this mess sure does look worse for the people trying to insist there's no conspiracy and 'everyone in the industry just knew'. At least they're too dumb to know when to fold. If they'd just backed off as soon as things started to unravel they might have been able to keep enough credibility and 'not-getting-sued' status to try again more quietly another time.

Makes me wonder if the idea might have been suggested by someone at BHBH to help with their image/presentation. Shows just how full service and committed to their clients the firm is if true.

I don't know about Haberkorn, but Vic is known for tossing candy to people waiting in his line or at his panels.

This guy says the longest lines today were Nadolny, Sabat, and Vic, in that order.

No this is the broken stair list, it was a list where anyone could submit anyone who they considered a convention creeper to it to name and shame. The person running it was called “Moderator” and a few people tried to track her down. Here’s what we have:
-she likely lives in Midtown Manhattan.
-she said she had lived in NYC her entire life
-she wore a fur coat to a meeting at a specialty bookstore with a journalist from Kotaku
-she has moved the server hosting for the Broken Stair website multiple times to avoid detection, probably buying different hosting space each time
-she claims to have cosplayed before
-any attempt to find her has hit brick walls, the people looking into her suspect that resources are being deployed to protect her

Here is the working theory:
-Moderator is likely the NEET black sheep of a wealthy NYC family, maybe 3rd generation+. Someone with resources started trying to protect her after this blew up9
-She likely commissioned her cosplays, a possible way to track her
-she likely does not have a major social media presence, but she likely has one or two friends who are. She also likely has a relatively small friend group, one or two close ones.
-the coat belongs to a relative, probably at least a grandma given that fur fell out of fashion in NYC at least 50-40 years ago. Used as an impromptu disguise for the meeting.

What's your source for all this

Hmm.
A video of her embarrassing herself and proving allegations true.
OR
No video and propagation of 'listen and believe' on both sides.

Yeah, we need the video.

It's not really "listen and believe" on both sides-- we know that Skye was removed. Skye admits that she was removed. She claims that she was removed after being told that she could stay, but her own story has holes and she's actively trying to shut down conversation which is peculiar.

The reason why the video is important is (primarily) because Emosh said that he had one and that he'd be releasing it imminently. Emosh is actively putting his reputation at stake, and I wouldn't imagine that he's doing so arbitrarily.

(If that's the case, I would opine, it doesn't even matter if Skye gets to release her footage before Emosh does at this point-- there'd have to be extensive editing to make whatever footage she had that's supposed to exonerate her even remotely workable in her favor.

If it were just Monica there and she were charging full price, the only person she'd have in that line would be Dominique, and she'd only be there to return the guest pass she borrowed.

Guest passes are the property of Kameha Con... one would presume that they confiscated it.

Supposedly, KC caught him and forced him to delete the video.

Maybe. Or maybe they made him give them a copy first, since the video was evidence.

Regardless, I know she doesn't have a video that proves her innocence, because any video that she might have wouldn't do that anyway.

Ty seems to be confirming that Skye had a $35 daily pass, but also had the bogus guest pass.

If true, it makes the whole thing dumber. She probably wouldn't have been kicked out if she weren't flashing a bogus pass.

That was the issue. People wondered how the fuck she got a guest pass, and she sperged out about harassment and they removed her, according to the Beard.

It was a real guest pass; just not her guest pass. Which begs the question, whose guest pass...

He didn't record it though, he just said it was recorded and he was hoping to get a copy of it sometime this weekend. So he may get the video he may not just have to wait.
