There's easier ways to make $400 than crowdfunding shenanigans.

Then again, I'm saying this as a person who isn't an unemployable psycho.
 
I love that her 'quick recap' is almost the same length as what she is recapping... And has different information.
Also, she has a 'regular gig' as well as freelance work (bullshit), but she reaaaally needs that $400.

As for her kickstarter update

I'm also starting work on my next game, which will tentatively be a point-and-click Double Fine/LucasArts/Sierra-style adventure game about my late father's World War II London childhood ("The bombs!"), and approximately 25 year British Forces career ("More bombs!"). It'll also be tentatively titled Michael and The Bombs. The particular regiment my father was in from the late 1950s to early 1980s happens to be the one most frequently referenced in games like Call of Duty and Battlefield, the 22nd Regiment. So, that combined with the bombed by Nazis stuff should make for exciting video game material! The development of the game will also help me grieve Dad, who died on December 22nd, 2013 at age 76.

Ignoring that fucking horrendous title, which somehow manages to be worse than Hackers vs Banksters, the rest of this is just bollocks. The representation of the Blitz like the Luftwaffe were personally out to kill her father is just retarded, and considering Kim's form for half-truths and outright lies I wouldn't be surprised if her father was an evacuee.

But my major issue is this:

The particular regiment my father was in from the late 1950s to early 1980s happens to be the one most frequently referenced in games like Call of Duty and Battlefield, the 22nd Regiment.

'the 22nd Regiment'

She's obviously trying to claim her father was in the SAS, and I don't know if she's trying to sound more knowledgable or what but it falls flat on its face. Most people aren't going to know what she's trying to reference, there's basically no reason not to just put in 'the SAS' or '22 SAS', but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out her father was in the Cheshire Regiment and she was just trying to use weasel words.

ETA: oh, and I forgot to mention how that timeline makes no sense. Approximately 25 year career but he spent the entire time in the SAS? You don't get to just join the SAS right from fucking basic.

edit:

actually, considering her husband's identity theft of the IBM Researcher, the crazy fucking bitch might be trying to claim this guy is her dad: http://www.kentonline.co.uk/canterbury/news/ex-sas-soldier-mike-crawley-goes-a53434/ (https://archive.is/t9PwN)

He is obviously not:
Mr Crawley, of the Meadows, Broomfield, has two daughters, Julie, 43, and 39-year-old Karen, who is mother to his grandchildren Caitlin, four, and two-year-old Morgan.

In a shocking coincedence, his career was 25 years long only it obviously doesn't have a bugfuck retarded career path or timeline.

He joined the army as a boy soldier in 1961 and went to Hereford for SAS selection in 1969 and stayed with that regiment for several years, during which time he served in many "interesting" parts of the world.

He transferred to the Intelligence Corps and in 1985 was a member of a relay team that covered 486 miles from Edinburgh to Ashford, where he was stationed at the time.

Since leaving the army in 1986, he has competed in seven London Marathons and five double marathons as well as other ultra-marathons.

The choice to defend Rapp at all at this point is so idiotic that it amounts to some kind of general incompetence and bad judgment all around. Smart people just aren't going to defend a moron like this.

Apr 17, 2016 — Hey Alison Rapp supporters!

So, we've got 609 signatures now. Good job!

But this petition is really slowing down its pace. We need to pick things up again!

Please, please, please, even if you've done so before, tweet, Facebook post, and Google+ post this petition again. Email your friends!

There are handy links on the petition's homepage for tweeting, Facebook posting, and emailing if you don't feel like writing anything.

And if anyone can pitch in $10 to promote the petition, that'd be great! You can do so from the petition's homepage, and all of that money goes to Change.org to get more eyeballs on this petition.

Here are some more of my favourite comments from you guys:

"I'm signing this because Nintendo needs to apologize and declare publicly that women and LGBT employees aren't disposable. Games don't belong to hate groups."

- Clay Harrington

"GamerGate is a movement that is violent and unethical . The firing of Ms Rapp seems to show that Nintendo stands behind these cowardly and cruel practices of the online harassment of women working in games.

As an artist in the gaming community and a consumer of Nintendo products, I feel like this is a BIG disappointment, to see corporate gaming culture once again bending to the will of man-children bullying working adults anonymously.

I expect better from Nintendo, even if they make a crapload of sexist content in Japan. In North America, this kind of behaviour should cost them sales and support."

- Tiffany Thoreson

"Gamergate is a real threat to peoples' lives and livelihood, and positive action must be taken to state that their harassment and attacks will not be legitimized."

- James Yarrison

"Because Nintendo's reaction to the harassment of an employee was to remain silent, and strip her of her duties while they dug into her private life for an excuse to fire her that would play better than the truth.

This kind of behaviour broadcasts a message to harassers; that harassment works, that even Nintendo will bend to your will if you hate a woman enough.

This is also a message broadcast to women of the industry. It tells them that they're unsafe, that they are unwelcome, that they are without support. Nintendo's actions here were disgusting, selfish and short-sighted."

- Gary Kings

C'mon everybody! Let's all tweet, and Facebook/Google+ post this petition today, and email some more of our friends about it! That's what I'm doing.

We can go over 1,000 signatures soon if we push hard for Alison.

Thanks,
Kim

Holy shit this woman is stupid.

So stupid, parties as ordinarily diametrically opposed as GethN7 and Randi Harper both think she's doing more harm than good.

Worse, even Rapp herself isn't endorsing this level of stupid. Crawley is fast approaching Moleman levels of too thick to realize what they are doing isn't gonna work like they hope it will.

I think she just wants a news story out of it. It works for Brianna!

Yeah, let's not get confused here. Kim doesn't care what happens to Rapp but she believes for some reason that there's still enough buzz surrounding Allison that she can use to get her over as a personality like the other hipster welfare leeches that are a dime a dozen these days.
 
As she threatened, Kim posted another Kickstarter. However, her goal was even lower this time. When her previous Kickstarter failed, she mentioned possibly doing one for 400 dollars so as to get all the pledges her previous effort had received.

Apparently even that modest sum was a bit too pie-in-the-sky... or, to be more accurate, had a non-zero chance of also failing and thus depriving Kim once again of money she admitted to not even needing with which to finish a game she said was essentially already done.

It looks like she decided to go with an even more modest (and weirdly arbitrary) goal of $234 (edit: apparently this translates to 300 Canadian dollars and so isn't completely random) and I am "happy" to report that she met her goal yesterday!


With this, Kim seems to have found the key to Kickstarter scamming: set a low initial goal you know you'll meet and then you'll get to keep whatever amount does end up getting donated.

Kim Crawley said:
We did it, everyone!

Approximately eight hours after the Hackers Versus Banksters relaunch, we've exceeded the reduced $300.00 CDN goal! Thank you so much, everyone!

So, those who've pledged $15 or over will all get Windows/Mac OS X/Linux copies of the full game, plus your names in the credits. (If you'd rather not have your name in the credits, or if you'd like a different name to be used in the credits, please let me know.)

And if you've pledged $80 or over, you'll get all that plus every commercial game I solo develop in the future. I will make sure that I have your email addresses, so I can make that happen.

So, here's the next step:

Let's see if we can "overfund" the "underfund." (Does that make any sense?)

Please share the Kickstarter on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, or wherever. Email your friends! Invite people to download and play the free demo, so they know what they're funding. The demohas gotten a lot of positive feedback. https://crowgirl.itch.io/hackers-versus-banksters

This relaunch KS ends next Wednesday, April 27th. The failed KS was able to get $441 CDN in pledges. Let's see if we can meet or exceed that.

The full, final game will be ready in about two weeks.

Thanks everyone!

-Kim
