The guy who uses Sauerbraten's name to make money
« on: June 14, 2018, 04:01:01 AM »
If you know "G. Scott", you should see what he is doing using the name and image of Sauerbraten (and Redeclipse).


In facebook anyone can create a "page" and share anything.

 it's revolting to see a Sauerbraten page announcing something not related to Sauerbraten, right? It's even more disgusting to know that the owner of this "page" is someone you've known for years.


Facebook shows the administrator of a certain page

So, the "Sauerbraten" page managed by George Scott shared a post from the page "Financial Sanity Now" (related to financial problems?) also managed by George Scott.

Redeclipse page (yes, it's supposed to be a redeclipse page)


His youtube channel is related to Sauerbraten and financial problems, of course.

(https://www.youtube.com/user/georgescott12345)

he does some tutorials too, I recommend this one

But who is G. Scott?
It's not hard to find his nickname, just search for "george scott sauerbraten" on google, or click on some links posted on his page:

Let's check this "qserv" servermod
(https://github.com/deathstar/QServCollect)

oh wait


oh


OH

Deathstar? hmm, this is probably not news to anyone.

I don't have anything personal against G. Scott (Deathstar) or his work, and  I don't think he's a bad person, but using sauerbraten's name for this is so wrong that I had to use my detective skills to share :v

Page link: https://www.facebook.com/cube2sauerbraten/
(after a few hours he deleted the post and posted "unfortunately our page was been compromised by advertisers", ah ok, the advertisement was about another page he administers and shares on youtube, it's a coincidence of course)

I'm not revealing or damaging his image, since the photos and his name are public for anyone

Lol.

I do web design for a living and I once used red eclipse to test the facebook banner I was making for a company. The text shows up differently on mobile and desktop platforms. I forgot to delete the banners and left a bunch of edits on the page. I deleted them as soon as they were brought to my attention. I also use posts to test images for sizing and such. I have been managing and posting things to the Cube 2 page for years. I don't post advertisements on that page. I sometimes test ads before I make them live, I delete them in a matter of minutes. It doesn't mean i'm using cube 2 as an advertising platform. I am a web designer not a social media advertiser and manager. I am not getting paid to promote business.' I have lead many clans for more than 10 years, worked on maps, server mods, websites, clients, and managed the facebook page. Never once have I posted unrelated content without the sheer intent of testing the content for another platform. Nice "detective work" but i'm not making any money testing an ad. I'm making money working and writing code, creating images and websites.

Yea, of course, let's forget the part of "oh no, our page was been compromised by advertisers"
You use the sauer page (image/name/followers) for your own promotion, no matter if you get money or not doing it, it's still wrong.

so cool to talk to a member of the dev team on this 100% official page 8)


But anyway, of these 1k followers of the page, only 10 still interact, due to your lack of posts.

I don't use the Sauerbraten page for my own promotion. The page is for the cube 2 community. I make no gains whatsoever. I post Cube 2 related materials and nothing personal. It's hilarious that you actually believe I gain something out of a facebook page for a game. It's something I made more than 5 years ago. I post to it now and then but not regularly. I'm busy working on other stuff.

yea, I really doubt you can get any penny doing this, but it was a good try, huh?

I'm proud to say, that we don't feature any Gscott on sauerworld, for the very reasons demonstrated here.

As I have stated before, I do web design for a living and I once used red eclipse/sauerbraten pages to test the facebook banner I was making for a company. The text shows up differently on mobile and desktop platforms. I forgot to delete the banners/boosted posts and left a bunch of edits on the page. I deleted them as soon as they were brought to my attention. I also use posts to test images for sizing and such. I have been managing and posting things to the Cube 2 page for years. I don't post advertisements on that page. I sometimes test ads before I make them live, I delete them in a matter of minutes. It doesn't mean i'm using cube 2 as an advertising platform. I am a web designer not a social media advertiser and manager. I am not getting paid to promote business, nor did I make any money by accidentally promoting the company I do web design for, Financial Sanity Now.' I have lead many clans for more than 10 years, worked on maps, server mods, websites, clients, and managed the facebook page. Never once have I posted unrelated content without the sheer intent of testing the content for another platform. Nice "detective work" but i'm not making any money testing an ad. I'm making money working and writing code, creating images and websites. It was easier for me to explain that the page was compromised by advertisers than to explain the entire scenario of how I used the page as a platform to test social media management work because it's a lot to type and I didn't feel like getting into it, I didn't think it would come to this. I left Cube a long time ago for the same reasons that a lot of others did, we put so much time into the community and never got anything in return except for contempt. As the game started dying, the entire community including all of my friends that used to play on a day to day basis disappeared. All the time I spent on the game helped me learn to write code, but I doubt anyone will use it because of the status of the game. It's sad that Cube died. I didn't leave because of some bullshit accusation about me, I could give less of a shit. I left because a lot of my friends left too. Also because:

Star is a arrogant narcissistic moron who unfortunately controls the forums and is too "high up" in the community to be punished for his assholism. and Salatiel, who went under a different alias and was actually my friend for a while and part of VA, our clan, falsely spread information about me defaming my character because of advertisements i posted on a cube 2 page to test boosted posts on mobile/desktop devices before they went live for a company I do web design for. I have managed that cube 2 facebook page for like 10 years, writing engaging posts and linking to community websites. I linked to sauerworld.org on it but of course that douchebag i was talking about star would never let my mod (which i have been working on for 10 years) be shown on the community forum website. Of course this is because of his own bi-polar feud with me and his own personal problems that he has with me. He randomly started talking shit to me on discord one day for no reason after i said nothing but nice things. I have pictures of the convo to prove it as well. I was just tired of not having any power in the community after making so many contributions. I had auth for a long while, but when server ownership was transferred, my auth was revoked. I feel like i have earned that privilege by now. But now it doesn't matter to me because I have quit like everyone else. I just thought i'd leave this post so that people that actually care to know what happened can see the truth.
