As promised, here’s C2 of Leviathan in English for those without a Postype account. Blame CKC for the late ass translation.

Spoiler: Thoughts

So we skipped several years (?) ahead, and we’re seeing some pics of the Ring. They seem to be some sort of stage themed?

Starting to believe that Limbus isn’t Vergil working with PT, but instead it’s him directly competing against her as revenge. There’s no way this could lead into him working with her… right?

Pretty interesting chapter, it's nice seeing the other syndicate, even if their look isn't the most intimidating, another interesting thing is that while Vergil's eyes seem to have a generally blank expression, you can actually see his blood vessels popping in his hand.
Also, what's this theory of yours? I personally doubt Vergil will appear at all in the (main) story.
Now, I'm wondering how does PM handle this series release, do they immediately post when they recieve the complete chapter or do they have it already in advance for some time? Because either way having to wait 2 days to read a chapter that's already released is inexcusable. BTW, has CKC said anything about this delay?

I didn’t even know that was a thing lol. I think I’ll keep it that way though Don’t want to accidentally ghost anyone.

No need to worry that much, you know?

Well Vergil is already the guy in charge of our particular ‘branch’ in Limbus, alongside what looks to be Lapis aka vroom vroom girl. My theory is just “Vergil makes Limbus to take EGO so that Iori fails because he’s mad about the shit she’s pulling”. Nothing special.

Of course CKC says nothing. Why would they ever admit to being at fault? They got mad when people revealed they (CKC) knew about the plagiarism but went ahead with it anyway.

Wait, seriously? Where did I miss that?
But, yeah, guess that's to be expected from them.

LMAO
Leviathan is postponed to 4th Feburary.

I blame Kool Kids Klub, just look at what happened with Chapter 2.

Honestly, I think the reason is tranlation related, but the purpose is to stop what happened to chap. 2 from happening again.
What they're doing is probably decreasing or condensing the chapters from now on, all the while giving more time to the translation teams for them to complete their work before the upload period.
So, yeah, the fault's probably on KCK for being really slow.

Yeah Watson and NEET have god awful work ethic if you’ve ever seen behind the scenes.

I feel that they still refuse to accept that they’re working at a professional level now and have deadlines/expectations to be met, rather than just still working on the old fan retranslation where they had no deadlines beyond potentially losing the interest of people wanting to actually read LC.

That’s why they’re so slow, were too stupid (or in denial) to realise that copying someone’s translation will lead to backlash, and that their translations are now the opposite of initial LC wordsalad where it’s filled with weird choices of wording (ie Wonderlab forcing certain sentence structures to feel “deep”, not helped by the seemingly inconsistent panel order), or are so deep in Western flavours that non-native English speakers/people not ass deep in SJWism struggle to make sense of it.

I’ve seen a few complaints about the overcomplications of KKK translation. Too bad the people KKK ask to beta read are also incapable of reading and thus just greenlight anything.

That's pretty interesting to know. Seeing how their laziness has started to negatively effect PM's works, plus their soon-to-be-released gacha, is it too hopeful to believe that they'll relieve CKC if they keep fucking things up?
Obviously, if it happens it probably will be in the next year, but if they don't it could potentially cut into their english sales, and they certainly don't want that.

I wish, but I know from the atmosphere that if KKK get fired they’ll lead the SJW side in a crusade against PM due to “racism/xenophobia, homophobia, and ableism” or some shit. Just look at the way the SJW side blamed PM for the translations KKK stole.

True, however, it is still possible they'll get more translators or simply decide it isn't worth keeping them without realizing the shitfit CKC will throw once they're fired. Plus, I somewhat doubt this side of the fandom will keep being as strong as it is now once the game goes out, because they'll have to face the fact it's a 'greedy' gacha game, which may lead to a big tantrum or many people leaving, but I have to agree that my thoughts may be too hopeful.

Eh, a good chunk of the SJW side play other gachas. GBF, Arknights, FGO, CRB and CR:K at the minimum. They’ll pretend to get mad while still playing it actively or producing content about it (aka free advertisement). Jona in the current PM downtime has been massacring Fate/, for example.

That's true. Guess we'll just have to wait and see instead of trying to predict what will happen.
BTW, I have a small question that's been bothering me, do you know if CKC has ever worked on something else, besides PM stuff?
Is this the first time they have ever translated games, or was there something before?

I don't think so. Even if they did, it was never on this scale. The way they communicated during LC Retranslate times implied it was their first time doing something that big.

Fun drama over from the subreddit Discord. Igugf, well-liked by the sane people in the fandom and essentially the IT guy for anything Project Moon related, has been banned in both said server AND the Wiki server for, and I quote, “racism and sexual harassment”.

What exactly was this “racism and sexual harassment” in quotations, you may ask?

For starters, he posted a meme about hating the French. Below is said meme.

Mmm, racism. A single gif > that russian tranny’s faggotry for several days on end.

As for the sexual harassment: all he did was link this Rimworld mod, which replaces sex mentions with handholding. You know, the most basic “lewd” joke SJWs have.

The response from subreddit was pretty…

Spoiler: ???

And boom, banned for handholding.

And it didn’t end there.

Spoiler: just smear his reputation, go on

The owner of the subreddit personally went to the wiki server just to spread more lies about the poor dude.

Not a surprise re Wiki side considering Mati plays favourites hardcore, but damn. The jannies have been looking for an opportunity to send Igugf six feet under after they successfully kicked him from the mod team, and now they have it. Pretty ironic when you consider the tastes of the people complaining about Igugf being the same types to >detailed drawing of pregnancy kink, but rules for thee not for me I guess.

More ontopic, Leviathan Chapter 3 is out. I don’t really have thoughts for this one.

This is just what happens when your mods are power-hungry polititards, it also happened to SCP, ironically enough. Igugf's job was basically keeping any unofficial PM site in operation, or at least usable, right? So, how long do you wager it will take until something breaks that they cannot fix?
BTW, the gif and first two images did not load, upload the images to the site through the attach files button and use the thumbnail function by pressing the insert button and choosing 'thumbnail'. It will appear like this:

It was a nice introduction to the Ring, giving us enough questions to keep reading. But, outside of that it was mostly okay.

Darn it, knew I should have waited til I got on desktop to post. Edited and hope they're working now.

Igugf's job isn't that, I probably worded it poorly. If you had any bugs with the games or your savefile was glitched to hell, he was the one you'd go to for figuring out how to fix it/get a free savefile. He wrote the LOR bugfix guide. The actually capable modders (aka people with proper experience in code) are on Igugf's side from what I heard, but it won't make a huge impact due to no more patches being pushed for LOR. Rest in piss, Invitation Maker.

So they got rid of an pretty important person once he outlived his usefulness? Lol

 

[evrae]

I suppose it's not shocking that redditors engage in that behavior, seen that plenty of times. Types like that like to worm their way into power and then force out people they see as a threat to that power, before filling in the holes with their buddies.

And yeah, from what I've heard experienced modders seem to be siding with Igugf, I've also heard that said crazed redditors trying to exile him made up some gigantic document, of which had no evidence included at all. It's something I should try and look more into, but so far it looks like they're just desperately looking for anything to get rid of the guy for good for some reason.

I heard some older PM modding community burned down fairly recently due to the owner going schizo basically, but I'd need to look into that a bit more.

 

[SnakeEye]

Good news, Igugf's been unbanned!

 

[BigBasil]

I heard some older PM modding community burned down fairly recently due to the owner going schizo basically, but I'd need to look into that a bit more.

It’s the Afterglow server. The owner went into a spastic fit about how no one is still willing to work under her for her impossible to complete mod with like, 50 receptions, so things spiraled.

Things escalated when she took a personal project of a modder whose name you all can probably recognize, PattyHoswell, and turned it into a promotional event for the Afterglow mod without crediting him in the slightest.

After everyone basically left her for being a deplorable human being, she started threatening suicide and coercing people to steal code for her after all her coders quit because they can no longer stand her bullshit.

Then the server got nuked by some Russian guys and a few people made a new server for everyone who’ve made friends in the Afterglow server to evacuate to. The people in Afterglow were actually really chill, the only problem was the batshit insane project leader.

 

[BigBasil]

And to show you all even more how batshit insane the Reddit server’s moderation is, I recall this one incident that was discussed in the old Afterglow server when I was there.

There was this guy who used to make mods on Nexus, MaBoi. He’s a spaz as well but that’s a different story. Point is, one day, on the Reddit server’s mod log, appeared a very indignant message from one of the mods, along the lines of “I can’t believe you sent *child porn* to the memes channel”. I don’t have the screenshot of that modlog since the AG server is… nuked, and the mods later edited the “child porn” part out, but here’s a screenshot of the Reddit server’s reaction to prove that this situation actually happened.

Safe to say, we were fucking baffled. So we asked around for information on what actually happened. Turns out, MaBoi posted a meme using a custom page art some Pixiv artist made, and so he linked the source of that image. Incidentally, that image belongs to the same Pixiv gallery as a lewd, not even 18+ picture of Pameli and Pamela (who’s canonically over 18, mind you).

That’s fucking it. That’s all it took for them to accuse a random guy for sending literal child porn, and announce it to the world. It shows that these people does not hesitate to accuse someone of the most heinous shit to virtue signal. This is why the Igugf situation is so telling. He sent a Franch meme > he’s racist. I have nothing but contempt for these people.

Also, here’s a bonus meme from the Reddit server. The guy replying is a moderator. Take this however you will. Nothing’s worse than tone-deaf, overzealous moderators who will label you with the worst labels for literally nothing with no remorse.
