I wish something would get filed soon. Is the fact that nothing is getting filed yet a good sign?

I mean so far everyone's taken until the last possible moment (or 2 weeks late in one case lol) to file their stuff. gonna guess that's not gonna change at this stage. though if they're gonna file for an extension, be it on time or on word limit, I'm a little surprised they're holding off on that this long. is it because they're banking on getting any extension granted? I dunno. if it were me I'd want to know asap if I could go over the limit or take more time to formulate my reply, but then IANAL.

By taking up every possible minute, the lawyers get to charge every possible billable hour. Need to keep that in mind. If they turn the work in early, that is money they can't charge. Ty likes cash as much as the next person. So don't expect him to do any differently then any other lawyer.

I understand that much, but asking for an extension in time and/or word limit earlier would let them know in advance if they've got 7500 words to stick to or if they can use more, and if they have to file by the 20th or if they can take longer. I wouldn't expect them to file early in any scenario and to instead make use of all the time they're given, but asking for an extension seems like one of those things you'd want to get clarity on sooner rather than later.

Odds are that they first need an initial draft of the document to see if they are going to need more words or not, after that they would ask the opposing counsel if they are opposed to an extension in the word limit, if they aren't then they have all the time in the world to file that with the court, if they do oppose then we will probably see them file for an extension in the following weeks.

I think that's how it is from what I have seen during the course of this suit, but I am not a lawyer so don't quote me on that.

All the :optimistic: in the world for that. They'll cram in as much defamation and complaints about Youtube lawyers as they can in that brief. Hell, they'll probably request an extension on the word limit just to pack in more shit.

You don't actually see this. As in ever. I can't even think of a time I've seen subsequent appeals briefs be longer than the original. It is just not a thing that happens. The stack of briefs you see when the briefing is done always looks like what I described.

There's sometimes a weird event where suddenly a huge transcript gets filed but that's not part of the briefs.

Seemingly nothing in this case so far has gone how it should, why should this be any different?

Remember, we all thought this lawsuit was going to slow down, especially during the coronavirus pandemic. Everything that's been happening, however, has proven us wrong.

It actually has kind of slowed down, though, at least on the legal front. The Internet shitposting front has remained strong, but there are still people who post about Gamergate.

They identify themselves as gamers because of how many video games they play, and you're surprised they have nothing better to do?

If I'm playing a video game, the last thing I think about is some stupid "journalist" or gamers having their feelings hurt because of him or her.

As far as liberal journalism is concerned, Gamergate literally elected Trump. This isn't a joke, they literally claim this.

They may claim it but let's be honest only about 20 people gave enough of a shit about GamerGate to let it affect who they voted for.

I want there to be a chain of responses back and forth that gets ever smaller to the point where Wick-Phillips' response is just four words long and is just "Drunk lawyer man bad".

I mean, its not entirely inaccurate. Sure its not the only reason Trump got elected, but it certainly motivated a very large and vocal subsection of the Chans that churned out the vast majority of pro-trump memes that flooded the internet in 2016.
