^^^  thats what I was going to say.

1000 pounds and you fools go with peanut butter?

dafuq!?!?

[Keunert]

this is clearly a case for Kommissar Mike.

[MikeGER]

1245 Euro (i just calculated) can get you a lot of bacon  8)

[GDS_Starfury]

but can it get you the equal numerical weight in bacon?

[MikeGER]

1000 pound = 453kg bacon is the better deal ;) because bacon is about 10 GBP/kg,
but i go for the money anyway   8)

....i am off deep down in those Google caches already ! ;D       

[JasonPratt]

Checking up on Metacritic to see if I could add "abuse" votes to the reviews, and I couldn't find a listing for CTGW at all. Has MC taken the reviews down already?

I am stupid or not getting something about what happened.

Isn't this about some ahole posing as different people and posting bad reviews on a site where anyone can sign up and post a review?

If that is the case besides finding him and playing four-walled handball what can be done legally about it?

I hope they find him and put an end to his behavior but I do not see what recourse companies have against things like this.

We're not exactly sure who it is. Given that little can be done.

However, it seems clear to the community across multiple sites that this is the work of one guy or a small group of guys with a grudge and maybe a screw loose. Other than the distraction (amusement?) of people talking about it, the impact is zero.

I'm sorry he/she/they feel wronged but this isn't the way to make your case.

I'd hope that they would expose whomever it was to our fine community, if it was someone who has been throwing a tizzy by doing something as childish as this.   Being shunned by your peers isn't fun, even on the internet, I imagine.

Who's even got time for this type of crap? Idiots with computers is becoming a major issue in our time.

[FarAway Sooner]

Well, personally I was thinking 1000 pounds of bacon, but whatever you guys want.

All the subsequent discussion on this topic completely misses the important question:  Is that 1000 pounds before or after cooking?

Gentlemen, allow me to introduce the next towering intellect of our time. Sir, I bow before you.

This is nothing compared to some of the things I've seen.  I used to be in the Gone Gold community, which was pretty huge back in the day.  It had its share of trolls.  Well, one day it suddenly ceased to exist (long story) and one of its less savoury members followed some of us to a new community.  Every couple of months he'd create a new account and start sending extremely vile pictures via PM to people.  Completely at random, it seemed.  I had one once, even though I can't remember ever talking to the guy.

What was weird was that he persisted for ages.  Obviously he'd get banned each time, but before long he'd be back with another account.  That guy must have been quite disturbed.

[Bison]

I doubt it's just some random wacko.  I'm inclined to believe it's someone who felt slighted by Slitherine recently and already ignited an internet firestorm about the offense across multiple forums.  And yes feel free to read between the lines.   

[Gusington]

I miss Gone Gold so very very much. Anyone know if the founder is still alive? His name escapes me.
