Sorry....misread the quote....

Lol! Wasnt Robert going to put Stern out of business. Looks like its the other way around(amongst other reasons). Irony...

What does this mean and why so cryptic? Is Iceman the Deeproot spokesperson now?

#1855 2 years ago

over 200 posts since I've been in this thread...went through everything.
I think those of us in on pins are getting a little extra crabby. I know I am.
It shouldnt be hard to hit a communication expectation. It's not like anyone is expecting you to say "They're ready...here they come". Just tell us what's up and we'll sit back for another 90 days. It's not like we can do anything about it.

Fan bloody tastic! Blame Stern, cause I was getting pretty tired of all you Americans blaming Canada for everything!

What did Canada do now Billy?! Send us some more timber please. Wait, i see we just doubled the timber tariff on Canada. Nvm.

Woah, now i think we just solved the JJP pf issues, the wood is being purchased in the US instead of Canada due to the import tariffs? Lol

It’s strange how other pinball companies don’t have shortages or excuses on turning out pins, but DR somehow does? Good for Spooky keeping the line hot and visible

Some can wish but I can see Mike Meyers on the cab.

#1864 2 years ago

Thanks. I now recognise Donald Pleasence on the cab. Pretty sure this is the picture they used too.

Well now it's Spooky's fault DR is failing. Stern is in the clear.

Posted my thoughts tonight in the other thread. I am not a buyer but maybe have a read of what I have said tonight. I have not been drinking for days! Think about what I have said. Unless Deep Root pulls the plug I still think there is a good chance of production in 2022.

#1869 2 years ago
Quoted from greatwichjohn:

I hope so too. Would love to see the buyers get the game and hope I get to play one at some point in the future.

#1873 2 years ago

Its hilarious to me that the official Deeproot Youtube channel has all the comments turned off lol.

#1874 2 years ago

Thus the swirl into here.

#1875 2 years ago

Anyone else hear that podcast today?

#1876 2 years ago
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:

Is there a new podcast with new details?
Something new revealed?

#1877 2 years ago
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:

Of course not. Even though I didn't go after my refund, I just want to see. Either a really cool machine or nothing. Still hoping for at least a box of twinkies. At least I'm still a pre order I am eligible to bash the shit out of rm and deeproot. Where is the transparency? If the machine wasn't ready still shouldn't have done a preorder. I think it was to appease investors.

No, only new podcasts with old interviews with Robert, cut to be the ultimate troll episodes.

Cut? He said it all and more. Robert couldn’t “cut” his statements to NOT sound like an asshole.

#1881 2 years ago
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:

It‘s cut into a monologue.

And yes RM said all that, there has nothing been altered. But we know all that (old stuff) and it‘s brought up every day, so there is no value in that podcast other then sheer trolling for entertainment purposes.

Everything about dr is for entertainment, just not the entertainment we were expecting. Thats ok, we have half a dozen pin companies actually producing pins that entertain, but none of those companies can bring the same entertainment value to Pinside.

Also, not everyone has heard these statements, so its a public service really.

#1884 2 years ago
Quoted from Roostking:Also, not everyone has heard these statements

Agree with this. I'd never heard Robert talk. I've read enough to get the just of what he said, but hearing him say it all and more in a succinct manner w/out having to sit thru the interviews was nice. I'm certain some buyers had either not been following the whole saga, or hadn't heard him say all this stuff. Doesn't change anything probably for anyone, except perhaps some perception of DR for a few.

#1885 2 years ago

I missed that "public service" part. Is Kaneda now transmitting podcasts into the past or for whom is this helpful at this point with orderbanks closed for 7 months?

Fact is, there is no new information. And for the sole hypothetical customer that ordered a game from DR without knowing about all the broken promises, well... he doesn't know that promises, so he doesn't care. He/ She will also never read what you wrote and don't listen to Kanedas podcast either.

Just be happy to have a reason/ excuse whining about the same stuff all over again and let the (in know) rest of us be.

Whats your point?

dr still wont deliver, is my point. Care to refute?

Seems we made our point by placing an order no? lol

#1888 2 years ago

My point is, for whom is this information helpful, besides for you to troll?

Noone argues that Deeproot didn't deliver (yet); we all know that.
It's just shouting "he's dead" for several hours after the funeral is over is annoying.

#1889 2 years ago

So you think this project is truly dead now?

I already told you. Some people who put deposits down had no idea how much of a shitshow this is. Now they do and they are grateful and actually understand the reality of the situation. Others have yet to come to that conclusion/delusion...

#1891 2 years ago

I allready wrote why that is BS top to bottom.

If I'm wrong feel free to get one of this "some people" that actually ordered a game here, that were completey oblivious until todays enlightenment, so I stand corrected.

Quoted from pinballrockstar:

Oh…
Oh wow..
I didn’t know it was this bad.
I thought you guys were being negative nancy over here 24/7.
But to tell you the truth i am shocked.
I know it’s a montage but still.
Never heard RM speak before up until now since i rarely come here.
I check in for news sometimes since i am actually in on a deeproot machine.
But this is really bad.
Is that guy actually okay?
Cuz this sounds very fucking strange to me.
He better starts paying me money btw?
This pin is overdue
I have to listen again man…wow.
And what is that 5 days of deeproot stuff about??
[quoted image]

#1893 2 years ago

Ok, I'm corrected. (Partially. This guy just ignored the negative nancy.)

I'm glad this guys life got so much better, now that he's in the know and can doubt his purchase every day.

As you are, deep down... We know it...

#1895 2 years ago

Listened to the Robert Mueller’s dialogs again and remember hearing him the first time around. Then he sounded intelligent and a little like a prophet. Given the benefit of hindsight, i have to say it ... Robert Mueller sounds delusional. But I am curious how things played out in the final contract language, regarding what happens when Deeproot misses deadlines and what payments are triggered by what amount of time. Can someone who received the signup papers respond about the specifics?

#1896 2 years ago
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

I forgot about that -- yeah, wasn't there something about getting paid back a certain amount of $ every day or month after a certain date earlier this year that they were going to ship by, or am I misremembering? I think there was something in one of the updates about it possibly too?

#1897 2 years ago

It was a phenomenal fee for perseverance and faith. Came to just under 50% I believe.

It doesn't matter. Dr have been in breach of contract for a long time but nobody is willing to do anything about it. Those that have raised so much of a peep about it are greeted by Roberts lawyers and I assume they figure its not worth the trouble.

It's not so much "greeted by Robert's lawyers". It's one guy Jason M., a good guy, it's just not worth it. Let it run its course and see where it goes. There are plenty of plaintiffs sitting idly by watching to see what happens.
