Are you skipping pages or something? The amended complaint gives them another 14 days to respond. Like, literally loving Two Weeks :laffo:

There was a section for depression.

Interestingly there was a section to rate your pain, filled with increasingly hungry-sounding words like "Is the pain throbbing! Is it debilitating! Is it UNBEARABLE!!!" Sadly there was no option to inform them that it was tripling every second.

That's on you, bud. Because you are assuming that my "agreed" is referring to the excepted posts in toto, even though my comments to each one, should be clear enough for you to understand which parts I agreed with, and thus chose to expand on.

It saddens me that they didn't get the latest memo from the Stimperor Health Consortium on how to properly rate pain. Fill out a comment card and sign it with your severed hand.

I think he reads them like I do. If it's been a while (more than 1 page) I actually start at the end, read backwards for several posts, them jump to where I left off, read a few posts forwards, then randomly fill in the posts in between those two endpoints.

I read novels the same way.

Nothing Works on PTU

It's been five years and fifteen days
Since you took my pledge away
I stream every night and sleep all day
Since you took my pledge away

Since 3.0 I can do whatever I want
I can clip through anywhere I want
I can eat my dinner in a fancy wankpod
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
'Cause nothing ever works
Nothing works on PTU

It's been so lonely without your patch
Since the netcode's wrong
Nothing can stop this framerate from falling
Tell me CIG where did you go wrong

I could play many games on Steam
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to Chris Roberts and guess what he told me?
Guess what he told me?
He said girl your money's all gone
No matter what you do, but he's a fool
'Cause nothing ever works
Nothing works on the PTU

All the features that you promised MoMa
On the forum
You lied every night and day
I know that dealing with Derek is sometimes hard
But here he comes with another blog
'Cause nothing works
Nothing works on the PTU

Nothing works
Nothing works on the PTU
Nothing works

Now I'm just a simple back woods hyperchicken but I'm pretty sure that the next step would be for the court to schedule a hearing to render a default judgement against CIG. They are still allowed to show up to that hearing, though. A typical default would give the plaintiff more-or-less everything asked for. I'm not sure what would happen in event of a jury trial.

If they do respond, I'm not sure it'll show up on pacer instantly.

You clearly don't understand joke development :justpost:
A plague of comedy gives rise to strange hangers on and bedfellows, the entourage of the warlord's impressive bluster and blogbespoke war treasury that gives gleam to goons who have fallen for such allures, those who place their independent banners upon separate hills to die upon, those who merely chew at the cud and stare on at the grand field conflict to unfold...perhaps unwitting to the tragedy to play out. All are merely actors upon this inexplainable stage, this setting demands to be experienced to be understood. One with wisdom, if not poise, might pivot one's understanding to the gravity of the drama that unfolds to appreciate this to its full extent. Alas, all reports and details are not yet quite comprehensive, for history is written by the victors, and there is no absolute winner to ascribe such events their place in history just yet. Just predictions, calls, and sonorous echos of parlaying tribes.

Hark, a blog is sounded in the distance. More posturings and postulations as back to back the backers meet the warlord's ire in the cloud of tarrying feet of grunts and decisive tramples of legal cavalry. A legal cavalry most appropriately equip'd for such bloody hacking and slashing of the finances. Much will be lost and won in this two weeks, and men in their haste of the present thoughts will fear their empty purses before they begin to fear the gallows, guillotine, or oubliette.

As if one could forget such knaves, villains and purloiners of trust and promise at this stage of this sordid tale. God would sooner welcome the devil to his side than one might forget these emperor fools.
