Phil wants a PR piece

 

['Ole Dente]

I'm not even concerned about Phil in regards to this. We've seen your work, it's admittedly pretty good and you've been receptive to any criticisms we've spoken about here already. I have questions specifically about Kiwi Farms involvement.

It's not important that Kiwi Farms gets positive coverage in any media, so much as it's important that Kiwi Farms gets accurate coverage in any media. That includes credit for things said or done, sources for information uncovered, who did it and how. That kind of stuff needs to be on the table from now on when media comes to us looking for information and I'd argue it needs to be entirely contractual. The entire reason we're so heavily maligned is not necessarily because of the choice words we use but because we're misrepresented and lied about in media and it leads to people trying to destroy the site daily, and we do nothing about that ever. It's probably time we actually do.

Are you willing to do that? And then deal with the consequences of insane people after? I think those questions need to be answered before anyone gives you an interview.

Have you guys seen Boogie's doc?
Phil having creative control doesn't even matter, he's dumb as a fucking doorknob and he'll hang himself if Mike just gives him enough rope.

I'm not trying to be the King of Shit Mountain here, but I think I've been aware of Phil the longest; as before Shoryuken(dot)com was a thing, the North American FGC had IRC chatrooms to communicate in. I hung out there, because IRL, I lived rural, and the Internet was the only real way for me to talk about videogames and shit; this is also where I first learned about DSP; this doesn't make me special, just he's been around for a long time, and I really didn't start paying attention to him until SF4 and he started doing his "Madness" series. The one positive I'll say about Phil, and while this is more appropriate for the SF4 days; he was good enough to be a mid-level gatekeeper, not the champion he wants to be. His skills have dwindled since, and sure he may be in "Master" rank in SF6, but getting there is seriously a battle of attrition. I saw a Japanese profile with a MMR of 800; for any uninformed, when you reach Master rank, you switch from LP to MMR, and you start with 1500 MMR; this dude made Master, then spent God knows how long getting his shit kicked in. Maybe he's just experimenting to see how low it can go, but just as an example, everyone can become a Master, and they never kick you out. So when Phil wants to scream that he's in Master rank, it's not a place of skill or honor, it is where the real Dark Souls Street Fighter begins. As for his hatred of people jabbing, it's not just an Internet thing, a jab is a quick attack, it's a check; sure they can lead into combos, but you don't jab just to jab, you jab to check your opponent. Phil's inability and refusal to adapt is why he'll always be bad; if an opponent has something you can't defend against, it's not up to them to be gentleman and do something you can defend against, it's up to you to figure out how to defend/counter/whatever. You should also recognize that he bitches constantly about being a good player, a high level player, and what works offline. Now realize that Phil hasn't played anything offline since SF4/Connecticut days; that goes for Street Fighter 5 and 6. He has the same excuses he did back in SF4, but with zero time spent in offline play, while screaming about what it means to be a real high-level player; he's still trying to coast off his 2005 4th place win, while I'm not gonna get into everything, realize that the games change a lot more than just the number at the end of each one, and the one he hangs his hat on (Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo) came out in 1994; it'll be 30 years old in February. His head is so far up his ass, if he was two people you couldn't tell where one ends and the other begins.

That's my take on Phil being part of the FGC.

As for what I really want to see; the vicious side of me wants to hear Leanna say he has no sex drive, have his dad say he's a massive fuck up, and have John and Howard say how annoying he was with bringing a fucking camera everywhere and trying to make everything content instead of just hanging out. What I really really want is for him to be cornered about his bankruptcy paperwork; I don't expect him to suddenly turn honest, I actually expect him to just play fucking stupid, but I really want to fucking hear why he put no pets in the pet line, while putting pet supplies in the other expenses line, or hear him try to argue where that $5,000 a month in "business expenses" come from. Because I'm well aware of all the shit you can write off (fully or percentage), but there's no way in Hell does he burn 5k a fucking month to "run his business." I'm not saying I want him destitute and homeless and the IRS to fucking take him to the cleaners, fuck the IRS. I don't know how to phrase it properly, I don't want him legitimately hurting (yet), but I want blood, don't kill him, but a good wound... for any dents reading, that is metaphorical wound, not a literal wound.

I'm not expecting anything, because he's a chronic liar who will make two conflicting statements in the same breath and rewrite history every week, but if you really do get access, well... good fucking luck. I'll watch it and go in expecting nothing, but will watch it nonetheless.

@mikeclum truly is the Lolcow Whisperer

 

[Martys_not_smarty]

Hey if does get off the ground can you release it in 4k so we can see how truly ghoulish Dave has become? There is a reason his shit streams are in 480p.

 

[Iron Hamster]

Hey @mikeclum make sure you ask Phail to watch the twitch apology demand video. Especially the open. If he somehow doesn't have it (he doesn't.......he deleted it), there's a reason and you should seek it out.

 

[architects]

Christ…get the dude to open up a certain app on his iPhone and you’d enter the holy of holies….doc done.

Do people really care about this dudes daily life? He leaves his house once a week…you gonna follow him to the grocery store or any number of his CIA level appointments? Maybe help him fix his broke down bathroom? Make a trip to the dump? Attend Weight Watchers with Kat? Shits gonna be a big nothing burger….

@mikeclum

Some people were talking about this off the farms today and I think it's really important that you know. If you're going to engage Phil in anyway on WWE Champions, please research the subject as people are starting a believe that Phil is gonna attempt to clear his name by pulling the wool over your eyes by showing you a sock account. Please start by watching the documentary below, it's an hour long but very well researched showing 100% proof that Phil's account is DownFromtheRafters, from Phil's bank account leaks lining up with ingame events, the link between the LINE app, to the fact that the name DownFromtheRafters exceeds the max character limit ingame and was changed by the developers from TheyCallMeDSP per Phil's request.

I think it was Itzagundam who broke the news a few months ago that Phil had created a sock account in WWE Champions, this may be false though (I can't find the name of the sock anywhere, maybe someone else in the thread knows). If you've been talking to him for a few months, then that could be the reason. He could do a "yeah, I play the game, here's my account" and show you the sock account, which will have very little MTX bought on it. If he does this, please do your research as there's ways to figure out the account creation date, and Phil has said that he's played the game for 7 years now. He could've cleared his name on the Sidescrollers podcast, but didn't cause he would've showed off the Rafters accounts. There's no damn private info if he shows his phone while the app is launching. With prep time, he'd be able to show off a sock account.

Phil wants a PR piece

Deep down, Phil's probably hoping for a hit peice on detractors. Something he can use and point his finger towards.

This was misinformation. There is zero proof of this, and before Gundam made that stupid tweet, there was no speculation about it. This never happened.

 

[Iron Hamster]

Things are looking up:

 

[We Are The Witches]

the fact that the account is linked to Phil's phone # via 2factor auth

If you're talking about LINE App, be careful because some people get stuff wrong, don't confuse the guy. It's in fact one of the few instances in the SideScrollers interview where DSP could have retaliated, because Craig wasn't properly informed about it.

And yes, you can tell the age of an account very easily, however there is like a "black market" of WWEChampions accounts (don't know if you'd call it that, but such transfers go against Scopely's TOS so must be done somewhat carefully) where you could technically get one that's old enough.

 

[Scopely]

Doing an interview or a documentary is fucking pointless at this stage. He'll just deny everything or feign ignorance, you'll never get through to him.
If you actually get inside the snort fort the best you could do is look in his trash to see how many bottles of gin he's got in there and snap a picture of khet. Anything else is basically worthless

 

[Ultrapenguin]

Idk how this documentary wouldn't be pointless, to begin with there's no way someone could cover a 14 year (?) DSP journey from the roots in the FGC all the way through his various sagas to today within a documentary without it being either very cursory, or 6 hours long.

Nobody unfamiliar is going to get it, nobody familiar is going to be satisfied unless Phil suddenly airs all his dirty laundry.

Also, talking to most people from Kiwi Farms (or the general detractor space) at this point is going to involve serious selection bias because by now Phil's most dedicated detractors are almost all complete idiots who are bigger trainwrecks than Phil himself and are convinced that a guy playing games badly, raging, and begging makes him worse than a war criminal.
They're going to come off completely unhinged and do nothing for the casual viewer except lend credence to Phil's narrative that his naysayers are all emotionally unstable whackjobs.

 

[Lord_Point]

I cant wait to see what phil offers up as proof that his WWE account hasnt spent more then a few bucks here and there. The months to prep will just make his attempt all the more patehtic and retarded. Im guessing he hand printed out pictures of his phone to mr cum, , which is why he needed a new printer.

 

[clothes in my closet]

There's a lot to talk about with today's pre-stream. As other's have already stated, it was practically a verbatim re-hash of all of the talking points that Phil threw out before his SideScrollers interview.

"No one has ever listened to my side"
"Craig wants to hear all sides"
"I've never gotten a fair shake before, until now"
"Craig isn't letting the mentally ill, conspiracist detractors poison him"
"This will be the video that you can watch to know everything you've wanted to know about these accusations against me"
"All of the complaints and slander against me are from things that happened ten years ago"
"This will be the last tell-all that I do. This is it. I'm done"

It's all so tiresome.

I could go on and on about these things, but I won't. However, I will link today's podcast, and last year's "pre SideScoller's" podcast, in the spoiler tag below. I highly recommend that @mikeclum watch both of these, so you can see just how similiar they are.

Spoiler: Videos

This is the pre-SideScrollers podcast, where Phil lays it all out.

You will notice that this video was uploaded by Aqua Teal, one of the many channels that clip moments from Phil's stream. I have linked this video, because Phil deleted this original podcast. At the time, Phil was using a fan-made intro, which contained copywrighted music. After Phil was hit with copyright claims for this music, he deleted months and months of podcasts, as to not jeopardize his channel.

Nothing about this podcast has been altered whatsoever. It is a straight-up reupload.

This is today's podcast.

The documentary segment begins at ( 32:45 ) It should be timestamped.

The one thing I want to talk about, is how Phil frames this documentary, in today's podcast.

Phil describes this documentary, as a platform in which he can refute "detractor nonsense." He paints the picture of one of his detractor's spewing conspiracy garbage about him, and then it cuts to him, refuting whatever the detractor is saying.

This may not be how you pitched it to him, Mike, but this is how Phil believes it is going to be.

EDIT: Phil turned on his camera for the night stream, and said he just had a meeting with Mike. Phil cut the meeting short, because he has to play Sea of Stars.

 

[Choom]

Phil was saying the documentary will be talking about his childhood, and how he became a gamer, etc.
Mike, if you're reading, I hope you realize absolutely no one fucking cares about that boring ass shit.
If you really feel like you have to start at the beginning of his life, fine, but you really need to speedrun that shit or people are just going to tune out. He's talked about being valedictorian, the Wolverine toy, 4th place at Evo, and the helicopter job a million times, and even those that know the tiniest bit about Phil aren't going to be interested to hear those stories rehashed, or even worse, gone into with greater (and pointless) detail.
Phil did actually mention Mike potentially talking to his parents, which could actually be interesting if he asks the right questions.
It might be interesting to have them all sit down together and ask Phil where he sees himself 10 years from now, and see how his parents react to his answer. I wonder if they have any clue that he has no intention of following through with the "ten year plan" they discussed when mom gave him that wad of money.

 

[Brownshirt Freshman]

I don't know why everyone is obsessed with champions, we already know it's him and he will never admit to it. Not to mention how easy it is to get lost in the weeds and get one minor detail wrong and give him the out he desperately wants. It would be a waste to harp on it. If anything, Mike should mention it briefly and let it be a dark cloud hanging over Phil. If he gives any of his financials to Mike it will be obvious that there is something that is eating all his cash. People will be able to put 2 and 2 together. Nobody is going to want to watch hours of explaining the ins and outs of a wrestling mobile game.

 

[BPD Gunt Rider]

Phil's chance to finally respond... unlike the Side Scrollers, Debunking 7 Years of Slander, every podcast...

It really is so tiresome.
