The remaining Godus crew in 22cans worth our regards.

Thanks! I thought about including you, but I've been split on to what degree you've been involved with Godus, specifically, especially as of late. I knew about Peter, but...Well, yeah. Had no idea about the rest you mention, since I don't think they've been mentioned in anything (at least not that I've seen).

Nevertheless, despite my uncertainty regarding your involvement, you and they (as well as those in my OP) have my regards for sticking with and working on Godus, even if we've not seen the results of those efforts just yet. You've certainly kept with it longer than I'd anticipated given the events at the turn of the year last year, I'll say that much. Hope we'll see something more substantial next year!

What about a year in review update, i'm sure that wouldn't be too hard to do, and people might reasonably expect such a statement around this time of year.

sorry Peter is not worth our regard, he lost that quite some time ago.

Well sure, I don't mean him ill! I just mean, I pay no regard to what he has to say or do, the trust was built in my childhood and that trust was why I backed Godus - that trust has been totally and utterly blown, and as such I pay him no further regard as someone I'm interested in paying attention to in terms of games I'd want to play.

Peter didn't pay anything that he wasn't already willing to throw away; after all, he did use his remaining reputation in the industry to directly scam his remaining faithful with the Kickstarter. Hardly misfortune by any means, and hardly a mistake when it involved that kind of deliberate planning and lies from the start - the game's development started with lies, so unless direct evidence supports anything they say then I have to treat anything from 22cans in similar (in)ability to be forthright. After all, Peter has majority ownership of 22cans, so they're playing by his book - which hasn't changed much if this topic has been of any indication after near total silence from the company after about an entire third of a year (Sept 11).

That isn't paying a price, that's cashing out for many spurious reasons. To be blunt about it, PM's Christmas of the last couple of years have been a very jolly ride upon the backs of those he scammed - also noted in the Kickstarter about how some of the tiers would be a perfect holiday gift*.

So, everyone else besides Peter, Happy Holidays. Those who perpetuated the scam and have been aiding it along owe the community a lot, if they're going to be too cheap and dodgy to refund the money they scammed from their own faithful three Christmas seasons ago ago.

Dec. 2012 was when PM/22cans dropped a deuce into the stockings of their fans, to which 22cans have tried to do everything they could to avoid making up for it honestly.

I don't normally do the grammar fiend thang, but the two combined made for some head shaking.

FYI, both words describe the same type of character.

Traits of a Psychopath

Psychology researchers generally believe that psychopaths tends to be born — it’s likely a genetic predisposition — while sociopaths tend to be made by their environment. (Which is not to say that psychopaths may not also suffer from some sort of childhood trauma.) Psychopathy might be related to physiological brain differences. Research has shown psychopaths have underdeveloped components of the brain commonly thought to be responsible for emotion regulation and impulse control.

Psychopaths, in general, have a hard time forming real emotional attachments with others. Instead, they form artificial, shallow relationships designed to be manipulated in a way that most benefits the psychopath. People are seen as pawns to be used to forward the psychopath’s goals. Psychopaths rarely feel guilt regarding any of their behaviors, no matter how much they hurt others.

But psychopaths can often be seen by others as being charming and trustworthy, holding steady, normal jobs. Some even have families and seemingly-loving relationships with a partner. While they tend to be well-educated, they may also have learned a great deal on their own.

When a psychopath engages in criminal behavior, they tend to do so in a way that minimizes risk to themselves. They will carefully plan criminal activity to ensure they don’t get caught, having contingency plans in place for every possibility.



Traits of a Sociopath

Researchers tend to believe that sociopathy is the result of environmental factors, such as a child or teen’s upbringing in a very negative household that resulted in physical abuse, emotional abuse, or childhood trauma.

Sociopaths, in general, tend to be more impulsive and erratic in their behavior than their psychopath counterparts. While also having difficulties in forming attachments to others, some sociopaths may be able to form an attachment to a like-minded group or person. Unlike psychopaths, most sociopaths don’t hold down long-term jobs or present much of a normal family life to the outside world.

When a sociopath engages in criminal behavior, they may do so in an impulsive and largely unplanned manner, with little regard for the risks or consequences of their actions. They may become agitated and angered easily, sometimes resulting in violent outbursts. These kinds of behaviors increase a sociopath’s chances of being apprehended.


It is settled then. Molyneux is a sociopath through and through. In addition, he did keep bringing up collecting stickers in childhood, that must have traumatized him to such a degree, that in his degeneracy he wants to pass along the pain to all the Godus players.

First paragraph, dammit.


The whole problem is that some researchers believe that disorder is defined by society (because the patients often have same childhood patterns) and call people traditionally called psychopaths differently to assert their stance on the disorder.

They still mean the same thing.
