Title: Tinker log 2 Author: Anonymous Pastebin link: http://pastebin.com/BYuxmVeN First Edit: Sunday 4th of March 2012 11:04:49 AM CDT Last Edit: Sunday 4th of March 2012 11:04:49 AM CDT 02:31:02 so, i just got done debriefing a lot of the artists about this 02:31:12 bronycon right now is up in the air 02:31:34 purple tinker announced faust and de lancie before she even had them booked 02:31:38 and now she can't book them 02:31:56 and refuses to tell anyone who rsvp'd that 02:32:05 so 02:32:18 what we're trying to do, media. This includes EqD 02:32:35 is trying to remove PT from bronycon power safely 02:32:44 because she is threatening to do bad things to hasbro 02:33:01 She announced... the single most important person to the fandom... before she even had her confirmed? 02:33:03 and we JUST opened up good relations with them 02:33:04 and we can't have this 02:33:07 right 02:33:11 her philosophy is 02:33:14 and i quote 02:33:25 "Asking for forgiveness is easier than asking permission"\ 02:33:52 so now she thinks hasbro is the big bad evil for being a corporation 02:33:59 This is unbelievable. 02:34:00 so... she has Seth... ANNOUNCE THIS... and then can't book Foust or De Lancie... and she EXPECTS NO REPERCUSSIONS?! 02:34:11 she even called seth a liar and an enemy over the phone tonight 02:34:19 For what? 02:34:25 because he's allies with hasbro 02:34:28 "" 02:34:45 she thinks that this is not her fauly 02:34:50 and 100% hasbros doing 02:34:53 to fuck her over 02:35:00 and will retaliate 02:35:16 she hates the show just because of the relationship 02:35:29 So, can Lauren not come because she's busy, or because Hasbro doesn't want her to go? 02:35:38 well, right now. I was reluctant because seth knows the exact same stuff i do 02:35:43 and i was hoping he would tell you guys 02:35:49 We are seriously trying to keep this as downlow as possible 02:36:00 The shitstorms and raging fires would be enormous 02:35:59 right now, yes keep it locked down 02:36:04 Yes, they would. 02:36:08 because shits on fire, that will only make it worse if people know 02:36:17 right now, faust may go 02:36:21 but 02:36:30 she is contractually bound to not talk about ponies without hasbro's consent 02:36:39 which is understandable 02:36:45 Oh, I see the issue there. 02:36:55 so if she goes, she would only be able to talk about, like fosters home and cats can't dance 02:37:09 So Lauren would need to get Hasbro to give the OK before discussing MLP, is what you're saying 02:37:23 right, which is what PT needs to do 02:37:48 but since Hasbro is the enemy - and if you remember the PSA we put out last night - they aren't able to make a move on it right now and that's not fast enough for PT 02:37:57 she wants to know RIGHT NOW 02:38:06 and she's been sending emails and phone calls like mad 02:38:11 just to hear word about this 02:38:20 and the brand manager is getting annoyed as hell 02:38:31 and if we lose his contact, we lose quite a bit 02:38:46 so PT right now has a position to screw the entire fanbase over 02:38:58 this is why we're trying to remove her from power 02:39:02 but the entire con is run on her bankroll 02:39:24 it needs to be destroyed and rebuilt as a non-profit organization with a council and bylaws 02:39:30 and needs to go through the proper legal channels 02:39:43 and if this is going to happen, its going to take way longer than june to get it up and running 02:40:11 is there anything we can do, as EqD 'staff'? 02:40:12 we're slowly trying to back PT in a corner 02:40:18 not really 02:40:23 all you can do is pretend you know nothing 02:40:26 until we make a move 02:40:35 because we need to back her in a corner 02:40:39 you do realize that she'd rather see BroNYcon burn than anypony enjoy it, right? 02:40:43 so she can't go off on hasbro 02:41:01 She's... She doesn't have the managmenet skill to do something this big 02:41:12 And she's already screwed at least one person over. 02:41:22 if it's not "PT's Bronycon" it's not happening 02:41:24 Nanashi's at least safe and sound 02:41:32 oh, you know about that 02:41:40 because she's been on a manhunt 02:41:48 because she knows seth knows this info 02:42:05 so she's trying to figure out who leaked the info 02:42:08 within her staff 02:42:46 he's one of the reasons people like JJ and Slugbox want to come BACK 02:42:55 JJ and slug know 02:42:57 about this info 02:43:21 do not talk about this to any con staff, especially the new ones, they will fight tooth and nail to keep the dream alive 02:43:55 90% of them believe to the grave that this is going to happen 02:44:15 but everyone outside who does know, knows it's not going to happen 02:45:55 The pony media groups all agree that we are blacklisting the site 02:45:57 er con 02:46:01 this includes EqD 02:46:19 sethisto is fed up with her 02:46:31 she uses suicide threats as a tactic to win arguements 02:46:56 she is still accepting money for RSVPS from people who expect people to be there who are not confirmed 02:47:01 yet, she said that they were confirmed 02:48:12 this is on controlled leak 02:48:24 we are only telling the people that we feel should know 02:48:39 shes shut out ac and chef, and keeps trying to pinch their staff and guests 02:48:44 im sure you all understand that if this gets out to the fanbase right now, shit will go nuclear 02:50:08 bronyville is in this whole ordeal as well 02:50:49 bronyville is one of the media groups all in one big skype chat about this situation the "situation room" 02:51:28 including EFR, DHN, seth, cereal and phoe 2 guys from bronycon who want this fixed and 3 from EFNW 02:51:38 are all in trying to get this settled 02:52:12 but we want both to be out from PT's control 02:52:31 well, are there any questions? 02:52:38 because im just about out of info 02:52:50 if there is anything we can do, please let us know? 02:53:13 well, right now i'll say again. Pretend you don't know anything at all 02:53:24 to anyone outside this room, especially PT or present con staff 02:53:36 and i was hoping sethisto would have told you guys 02:53:41 Unfortunately not. 02:53:49 i'm sure he won't be pleased if he found out i told you, haha 02:54:27 but this is something that needs to get out to the relevant parties 02:54:46 so, i'd pretend you don't know if he says something 02:55:28 i don't think he would even mention it 02:56:18 oh yeah, the con venue is in PT's name 02:56:31 so, yeah. If shit blows up that's gone 02:56:57 i don't want this getting back to PT right now 02:57:10 and if anyone on her contacts list knows 02:57:16 she will try her hardest to get that out of them 02:57:29 she is blissfully ignorant that this is all going on behind her back 02:57:31 Fandom-Personality... does Nanashi know? 02:57:45 i think nanashi knows a little bit 02:58:11 if Nanashi asks, I'll relay what little we know from you 02:58:50 there was that huge walkout of the previous con staff 02:59:02 but she bribed a couple of them to come back 03:00:11 well, i think i'll be heading off now 03:00:15 if that's ok 03:00:24 thank you, Fandom-Personality. We appreciate the heads up
