The excuses I'm getting from Vic Stans as to why there wasn't a picture of the first line in HawaiiCon history are just too much...

Vic Mignogna Lawsuit |OT| Hold My Beard (Update: Appeal lost, Mignogna must pay attorney fees to defendants)
- Thread starter Sibersk Esto
- Start date
Yet they had no problem getting pics of all his other "huge lines" to gloat about.
BTW, I saw Sabat at GalaxyCon earlier this year and his lines were insanely long, way longer than the pics they've been post of Vic's recent lines.
Not to mention they'll only accept video & a blood sample as evidence for anything Vic is accused of but will take a Con's word at a line size... Makes you think about what their real issue is...
To use their logic: "In a world where everyone carries a camera, why is there no photographic evidence of his line?"
I don't think Todd even likes Vic since he also circle jerk him on Twitter before he outed himself. But he always hired unknowns. But yeah, it isn't likely he will get any professional or upcoming talent. So everything will be voiced by only his most dedicated fans or people looking for a break so they can be noticed by the big dogs.

I'm not talking about people who do unofficial dubs or even stuff like TFS. I mean people who do original projects who do hired VAs.
So cheaply homemade (possibly christian) cartoons it is then.
...but the positive side is that he gets to voice ALL the characters in the same show by himself.
I haven't posted in here for a while, but holy shit!

I was watching The Wallflower with my GF yesterday and realized Vic voices one of the main characters. It didn't ruin my enjoyment but I was like fuck!
All of their tottering on about lines is head shaking, as if any of it matters. He could have the longest line of most adoring fans beyond the dreams of any anime con guest and I wouldn't make one but if difference.
The sunglasses self-owns are pretty nice tho.

The Change The Channel one about Channel Awesome had a lot of views as well. These OTs about internet controversies seem to attract a lot of outside views.
There's plenty of threads over 2mil views, moreso on gaming side. Its pretty high up for OT though
Edit: The highest one I can find is actually the old Brexit OT in Hangouts
Ah, yeah, that one definitely got used as a reference for what was happening even by people outside Era, so it's understandable that it got a lot of views. I assume this one is probably similar, though probably to a lesser degree; there definitely have to be a decent amount of lurkers following along, at least.
This is probably one of the few places on the web where the discussion isn't both-sidesed to hell and back, so you have a higher S/N ratio of what's actually going on.
That was the thread that had me discover Resetera and make an account.
Worth noting, if they settle in mediation we won't hear anything beyond "it was settled in mediation."
I can't imagine they will though. Vic seems oblivious to the fact he's about to lose a ton of money and I bet Beard walks into mediation making absurd demands as though they have any leverage.
Defense: We have won 70% of the case already. What is your offer?
Beardy-man: WE WANT MILLIONS!
One day later...
Chupp: See yah!
I doubt that a NDA is even in the cards if the mediation is successful, that would let Vic's camp spin it as a win which will only serve to embolden the idiot harassers. I'm assuming that the defense will like to make clear that this was a loss for Vic in every way. We may never know the specifics of just how much money Vic ends up paying but we will probably know the rest.
I doubt that outside of Beard reading the Threadnought, the thought of an NDA wouldn't have even occurred to him. And no way in hell will the defense, or for that matter Chupp, think that is a good option.
Sending Beard into mediation, seems like sending a rabid badger to do your laundry. It just won't work out well for anybody in the end.
Don't forget. Christian moviemakers have a lobby behind them sometimes. Check out movies like "God's not dead". Possible Vic could get someone like Kevin Sorbo to voice a character.
The Narrative of actors with a limited skillset not making it because they are christians is strong in this one as well.
Regarding the mediation. I'm looking forward to the final judgement of the TCPA and Vic realizing how much he fucked up by
A: taking this to court and
B: Hiring Beard
The actual ins and outs of the mediation won't be reported on by the mediator, just the outcome AFAIK. IMO, the likely outcomes (from most to least likely) are:
-- Mediation collapses, due to either Vic's intransigence (having not been kept fully in the picture by Ty) or Ty's incompetence/"master strategy". Everything subsequently gets dismissed and Ty and Nick go back to GFM grifting for their certain-to-win appeal, with all accompanying bullshit.
-- Mediation succeeds, but Vic takes an absolute hammering. No NDA, pays virtually fees etc. and has to make a public statement of some sort to admit fault. This would depend on Vic having a Damascene conversion when he walks in and realises how much Ty has shat the bed.
-- Mediation succeeds, with slightly better terms for Vic because the other side are trying to make a good faith effort to draw a line under things. More favourable public statement from Vic, better fees etc. payments... etc. etc.
-- Ty Tzu the Galaxy Brain performs a legal osoto gari and gets an NDA, Vic isn't on the hook for fees etc. and the whole thing is packaged as a win for ISWV, all while Ty and Vic smoke cigars and blow smoke over the mediator.
To be a fly on the wall.
I wonder if it will be short and stormy with a deadlock, or if they're gonna drag it out as long as possible.

Larger, yes. Better? Christ on His Throne, no. The signal-to-noise ratio would be godawful.
And that's only if the thread wasn't locked.
I mean we've had a few pages that were had distracted by noise. for the most part i'm impressed by how well threads stay on target here.
If they don't get all fees there is no point in settling since they will be getting all fees on Friday anyways.
I mean, in the end we know that rules or no rules Percy's gonna be blabbing about the mediation to Screech as soon as he's able to. And Screech will have a stream tonight to spin the hell out of it. So I expect we will actually know more about the mediation than normal here.
Prior to his firm hiring out a babysitter I would have agreed.
I'm not saying he WON'T but I'm not as sure he will.
Well if they are successful in settling with those, then there wouldn't be appeals which would drag out the payment of their fees.
Yeah - I had no idea who Vic Mignona is until this thread ballooned. But it's fascinating to read.
Wonder how much of it is just shitty stalkers bitter about their bans.
Same.
I keep waiting for the announcement that it's all over and he lost completely.
I cannot wait for the anime on this story with Vic doing every voice in the anime telling his side of the story. Some episodes starring BFL and Percy.
And then they get sued for defamation.

Fair point but honestly the advantage of appeals is that they all fail and then you get even more lawyer fees paid for you.
Yeah he has been melting down with angry responses that are way more overblown than his usual drunken outbursts. I assume he wasn't AT the mediation (that'd be weird) but Im guessing either it went poorly for Vic or at least Vic has learnt about his situation finally and is asked Nick awkward questions.
It's today. Tomorrow is when the wrath of the judge comes down if nothing is settled.
ah. I had the 3rd for mediation and 4th for the judge in my head.
Deadline for it was tomorrow but they scheduled it for today.
Friday for the Judge's verdict.
