Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
For those of you just joining us...
Our thread began when NeoGAF user Goon Boon brought to our attention a Kickstarter:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/susanwilson/9-year-old-building-an-rpg-to-prove-her-brothers-w
A little bit about the budding 9 year old video game developer:
You see Kickstarter can't allow 9 years old to fund their future goals of achieving greatness, they need adult supervision and who better than the mother that will do anything for her daughter, I mean a blue collar woman who sends her kids to public school, who is one of Fortune's Top Ten Female Entrepreneur in the year of our lord 2009, and the recipient of the 2012 Wife & mother of the Year.
I mean how can you distrust a woman like this:
It's unfathomable!
I mean how crazy can it be that a mother and daughter have such willpower to create a game for the masses as the same time Women in the Tech Industry is such a hot topic discussion making the rounds, It was truly destiny, that the stars aligned and these 2 forces collided
A simple request of $829 to send this budding developer in progress to camp, to teach her how to code to the metal, learn the in and outs of 1 and 0's, become the shining beacon to the world that STEM has met it's match and Veronica Mars can go die in a fire!
I mean no guidelines were being broken. It never states anywhere in the Kickstarter FAQ/Guidelines that this can't take place.
I mean come on why would anyone facetiously use their daughter as a sock puppet to further their agenda, Women in Tech is already catching fire, why try to throw gasoline on yourself and get lit?
There is no way this can be a ruse, I mean what magical details can there be to back-up claims of this being shady or a being a scam?
*Psst* "Hot off the Presses"
"Oh My!"
So Grave it's a one time deal, she's just abusing the system and if it allows it, more power to her, I mean it's only a one time thing right?... right?
Au contraire my fellow GAFfer, tis' just the next in an escalating scheme to remove funds from fools with hearty pouches

What's this, something's afoul...
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/phone-case-holds-essentials-in-1-place
My word, how far does this rabbit hole go?
________________________________________________
So to further our story along, this con-woman has her whole family + friends + networked associates involved
Through great Internet Detective work, we have find out finer details about this scam
From the ages of the children not being what they are
Half-Truths being twisted to becoming rallying cries
Asking 4chan and Reddit for help (Jesus!, Don't poke the sleeping bear, for the love of good let it hibernate!)
Trying to broker deals by cyber-squatting domain names http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybersquatting
Video Game Journalism doingGod's Yevon's work, by not looking at the facts... I mean when Legend becomes Fact, print the Legend!
Something about Flying (think Planking with Capes) which had a disastrous result
Let's put it this way, this Train-wreck was about to go off the rails, down the abyss of doom and hit the floor of COT DAMN, but mysteriously this Train chugged the right amount of coal being dumped by a masseuse no less!, and we keep choo choo-ing till the end of the line which is Disaster Alley and Welp there goes that shit off the Cliff Edge!
Now, everyone waits in anticipation to see what could possibly happen next. Let's find out, because, man....
This is a good one.

A little bit about the budding 9 year old video game developer:
Most people call me Kenzie. I'm 9, in 3rd grade, and I'm getting straight A's. I've always been the tallest person in my class and this year I'm actually taller than my teacher. I love computers, video games, apps, and role playing games - especially Magic the Gathering and Borderlands 2 that I get to play with my Dad (because my 15 & 16 year old brothers are too mean to play with me). But we do have D&D tournaments on the weekends which is cool. My favorite PS3 game right now is Dragon Age II.
You see Kickstarter can't allow 9 years old to fund their future goals of achieving greatness, they need adult supervision and who better than the mother that will do anything for her daughter, I mean a blue collar woman who sends her kids to public school, who is one of Fortune's Top Ten Female Entrepreneur in the year of our lord 2009, and the recipient of the 2012 Wife & mother of the Year.
