Maybe the Sass crew knows the lore better.
But his first wife was a goons gf and he took his gf to a goon con.
I believe this was on the heels of his "boxing" match. Literally of his and SA power.
My early Lowtax Lore is sketchy, but IIRC there was Integral, who he got engaged to but did not marry. She left him (and I believe she Deep Throated the thing about him and feet IIRC), and then he got engaged to above mentioned Beautiful Goon Queen that I don't remember much about besides he existance - I don't even know that I ever even knew any information to forget.
After that was Megan, AKA Chinkwife. I don't know anything about the courtship. She found Jesus and then they divorced because Richard was too eurphoric.
Then a few years ago Lowtax was in canada, presumably trying to bang some other goonette, and instead hooked up with Ashli, AKA MapleWife/LeafWife/Lady Ambien.
Anyone else is welcome to fill in the gaps.
Like Aran, I believe you said something about Lowtax snatching your booty hole after a John Coulton concert and that's why you've never been able to finish portal?
I've been reading a book about small business and it mentions how you can sell a portion of your business to someone or a group and have them do most of the heavy lifting while just collecting a nice passive income.
That would be the best thing for richard sell 48% of SA have some meda group manage the site and unfuck the forum code. Richard shits out articles and just tells people he's married man.
But this 40 year old dude preying on mentally damaged women....fuck....
You just sort of crystalized something that was brewing in the back of my head.
I knew Lowtax had this bug up his ass about "not selling out" and "being the guy keeping SA running" and "being a jokeman and not a business dweeb". I just figured that he wanted the power trip of being lord of the goons; as Lowtax he's a mild internet celebrity. If he cashes out, he's just another millionaire & nothing special.
But what you said makes more sense. He wants to keep control of SA not because it gives him power over nerds; SA has been the source for his pick of late-but-not-TOO-late 20's, low-esteem, crazy goonette pussy. He can pretend to be someone vaguely important and give his target-of-choice the validation from someone of importance that makes their panties hit the ground hard enough to crack tile.
He's not giving up his pussy farming ground for a measley 2 mil in cash and 6 mil in stock.
