William James Mitchell vs. Twin Galaxies LLC, Jeff Harrist & Jeremy Young & donkeykongforum.com, Benjamin Q Smith -

[nohm]

It should be noted that allegedly Billy and Apollo Legend came to an agreement to drop the claims against Benjamin in return for Billy being given the rights to all the videos on Billy on his channel, and they were recently deleted. No idea how legitimate that is, but that's what I'm hearing.

It's what Apollo said in the community section of his YouTube channel.

I'm sure many of you will be disappointed with this decision but I believe as the months pass you will understand why I did this.

There are some unnamed individuals who thought Billy showed Apollo evidence that changed his mind. The reason why he gave up should now be apparent to all.

The tone in his video on mediafire is a lot different from what he wrote in the description. He doesn't bring up speedrunning community drama at all and he points to his chronic health issues as the motivating factor for wanting to commit suicide. I'm sure people both criticizing and sympathizing with him will name speedrunning drama as the reason he killed himself (or at least intended to kill himself since it isn't confirmed) but it really doesn't sound like it.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Hey Apollo,

I know its hot down in hell, but if you ever need some spice, I'm gifting you a complimentary bottle of my Chili Sauce. Its called Real World DK Champion.


-Your Friend,

Billy

Billy Mitchell is such a piece of trash. I can't wait for TG to ruin him.

Why do arguing about video games turn people into absolute moon units?

Autism begets autism

Well, there was a couple of updates in the case since the first of the year. I was just browsing the court docket since the last post.

1. Billy Mitchell DID put up the money required to continue the case. In fact, he overpaid, according to the docket. Billy's case is moving forward.
2. Twin Galaxies' MTD was withdrawn. It appears that TG is going to be determined to fight this.
3. The cross-complaint motion filed by TG was granted. It now appears that Twin Galaxies LLC v Mitchell et. al. is moving forward as well.

By the way, I will upload the full proposed cross-complaint motion that was previously talked about here since I don't want to go and dig up the money to buy the actual filing from LA County records and have it say the same thing. Yeah, I am a lazy prick who doesn't want to waste money.

This is going to be fun. For us.

For the parties? Not so much.

It's not all about them. The important thing is we will have entertainment. Good entertainment is hard to come by these days.

Anyone want to guess who is going to eventually be a part of the cross-lawsuit Twin Galaxies filed? Here is a couple of my guesses:

- Todd Rogers (the cheater who spent the last 30+ years on top of the Dragster leaderboards at the old Twin Galaxies) [Note: Todd Rogers was the referee that allegedly verified the "King of Kong" tape]
- Todd Rogers' significant other at the time the Dragster record was "established". Also a Old TG referee

Define "part of." Are you asking if they are going to despose them or are they going to get get sued?

My apologies for not being clear. I am referring to the Roes 1-25 in the cross-lawsuit that Twin Galaxies filed. They going to be sued.

I guess I didnt hear about that. What are Roes exactly and how does this all work?

 

[pearlslam]

Basically they are unnamed people who are a part of a suit. It is similar to Does 1-25 in a legal filing, for example. Roes in this context means that Twin Galaxies wishes to sue 25 more people in addition to Walter Day and Billy Mitchell (a.k.a. The Old Twin Galaxies).

Well thats gonna be fucking interesting. Why are they called Roes though?

It's a fictitious name like Doe used for anonymous or potential people involved.

Just want to throw this post away like a spez to announce that a case management conference is scheduled for August 26th, 2021. Not much more is on the docket.

 

[Tour of Italy]

Every once in a while I’ll be catching up on this case and I’ll be reading for like 5-10 minutes before I remember that holy shit Apollo Legend killed himself.

I honestly completely forgot about that. Twisted how that became a whole thing on its own because of his video suicide note.

So, according to Nickyboy there's been some news to this lolsuit.

Billy started suing the current WR holder for pacman's fastest max score. Apparently because that guy agreed with the studies that shows that Billy did his records on MAME, and not original hardware.

And Todd Rodgers jumped into the ring to sue the old owners of Twin Galaxy, the current owner, and Guiness over defamation.

I didn't see any progress on the already-active suit though.

This sounds fun.

So theres been nothing going on with Billy v TG and TG v Literally Everyone? What are these suits waiting on exactly? A ruling or some sort of filing from one of the parties?
