Shit's fucked. SKG probably only has 500k real votes.

>graph is a "what if 50% are botted?"

sasuga

>>714478823
And you don't think 50% of those are botted? SKG was so inorganic and barely anybody knew of its existence except for the drama community on YouTube. Your average European wouldn't know of it. I'm guessing 300K to 400K are botted so the real number is around 700K signatures.

Friendly reminder that this isn't a random online petition but an official government process and fucking with it will have legal consequences. A random sperg who inputs a few fake signatures will probably get a way with it, but if you're actually running a bot farm with the intention to fuck this up you WILL get a visit from interpol.

idk pretty sure "FakeName NiggaSuckMyNuts" is a real person

>>714479056
Yeah man, the EU government is gonna come for me all the way in China because I trolled their little site.

Isn't it funny that fagtree got an asthma attack so bad that he had to be hospitalized right after Ross put out a video where he said that botters would get fucked by interpol, and that the FBI cooperates with interpol if the person lives in the US?

>>714479359
isn't it funny your unmedicated mental illness shits up this board?

>>714478771 (OP)
>if 50% of the signatures were botted we would have 50% less signatures

>>714478771 (OP)
Bold of you to assume there were no fake signatures prior to july 2nd.

>>714479736
big if true

>>714478771 (OP)
This is such a shitty graph its unreal
I know yhis is a b8 discourse thread but this sucks so much

Doesn't matter, even with tons of botting we'll hit the threshold. We're already at 1.1m.

>>714479359
If maldavius gets raided by interpol over this my sides will collapse into black holes.

Ross is just rightfully paranoid after a year of killing himself doing shit he hates just to try and get this done and not even hitting the halfway point and then suddenly getting massive outreach
It's not over until it's over

>>714478771 (OP)
it'd be 50% of new signatures on a baseline of the already existing 400k mostly real ones

I'm curious how the EU would react if large scale botting was proven. I wonder if they would extend the time or something of the sorts.

>>714478771 (OP)
SKG will never pass because of the extra burden it will place on the indie developer community.
>Many marginalized developers—whether part of the LGBTQ+ community or working in underrepresented racial or ethnic groups—operate in environments already strained by limited resources, smaller teams, and systemic barriers to funding.
>“If these proposals become law without nuance,” said one Zurich-based queer indie dev who wished to remain anonymous, “we could be forced to release server code or build fallback systems we don’t have the budget for. Larger studios might weather that. We can’t.”

>>714482046
Oh no, they'll have to make less bloated games, how horrible

I'm afraid the real situation is worse than you thought.
Tell me, how would your model look if 120% of the votes were fake?

>>714478771 (OP)
Games are not physical products you can "own". They are walks in the park, a softball game with your friends, a trip to an amusement park. They are just things for entertainment to pass the time.
You don't gain full ownership of the park or ball game because you spent $20 on a ticket.

>>714479736
Thank god he included a graph

If your company is still in business it's trivial to keep servers up. If your company is out of business handing out the server files doesn't matter. It's a literal non-issue.

>>714481306
I know its impossible but if we hit 2 million this would make it the most popular EU petition in history

>>714482154
Dumb analogy. If I buy a book I own a copy of that book, but I don’t own the rights to the author’s work. That doesn’t mean the author has the right to burn my copy of that book whenever they want

>>714481306
Every real voter stops after the goal is reached. These votes are most likely botfarms that have not been turned off yet.

>>714482012
I think even if it is botted the petition will be received but they will fix their voting system by enforcing the eID in every country

>>714479304
No, they will tell China to find and give you up, and they will because they couldn't care less than hundreds are dying in factories, so giving up one nerd for improved international relations will be a steal.

>>714482251
The author is permitted to print the book in ink that becomes invisible with time. Don't buy the book if it upsets you.

Even if it fails, two things will be now known to normies:
Ross is one of the only Internet personalities involved in games that actually gives a shit about games and isn’t just a shameless grifter who uses the medium to line his pockets
Piratesoftware is an unbearably annoying, smarmy asshole

>>714479024
You mad?

>>714482491
I've worked at Blizzard for 7 years, eat my entire ass.

>>714482374
Stop trying to silence marginalized voices. What do you have against those who are part of the LGBTQ+ community or working in underrepresented racial or ethnic group.

>>714482414
Im allowed to make copies for personal use of that book.

>>714478771 (OP)
wow
really trying hard huh, pirate

>>714482414
I can photocopy that book before the invisible ink does it’s thing in the future. Can’t do that with games

>>714482541
I love how he uses working at blizzard as though it’s something to be proud of. Even normies fucking hate blizzard now

>>714481306
all me btw

>>714482691
Why are they trying so fucking hard to turn SKG into another Gamergate?

Looks like 1.25 million is the number to aim for. Hopefully given the current trajectory it reaches it in no time

it would be rather ironic if half of ferret fuckers' discord went to prison over this
better yet he probably had some smug messages like:
>guys don't do this, but I am not your dad winky face, hypothetically I couldn't stop this
tie him as instigator

Why are they trying so fucking hard to turn SKG into another Gamergate?

>>714482797
Because they’re desperate to smear it given its success.

>>714482546
>>714482613
This will just make the book authors use ink that evaporates when lit up by a photocopier. Books will become more expensive and more difficult to print.

>>714482872
Fine, I’ll use my phone to take a photo of every page.
Again, can’t do that with games. See the issue?

>>714482872
>that will
What are you talking about? This is current law, im currently allowed to do that.

I really hope once this is all over Ross takes a massive break. Man deserves it. Game dungeon is comfy as hell and i hope he makes more once he’s rejuvenated

>>714482931
Gaming companies simply have better protection against your piracy methods. If the author of a book could force you to be always online when reading the book, they would do that.

>>714482334
National IDs are a political non starter in some countries which is why they don't have them.

how are they going to arrest 500k vote frauders and what prison is going to hold them

>>714483149
We'll build it and make piratesoftware pay for it.

Germans will do it, they have experience gathering large swaths of people.

who is doing the "estimating"?

>>714482857
'cuz once they can get a label to stick that is associated with undesirable people they can poison the entire initiative with any claim they want as long as it is vague enough. Guilty by association.

For example
>gamergate was full of racist, women hating homophobes
>SKG is just like gamergate [because I say so sweety]
>ergo SKG is full of racist, women hating homophobes and thus you shouldn't support it

>>714483259
Asmongold and Elon Musk supports SKG, that means it's so fucking dead.

>>714479056
>you WILL get a visit from interpol.
Interpol isn't like its shown in movies, retard. It's literally just there to coordinate information between member countries. It doesn't even have field agents to go knocking on people's doors.

>>714479056
The fact that it's an official government thing should just mean any botting is impossible anyway because signing requires ID verification by bank account or some other method.
keyword "should", and that's how it works on most national level government petitions, but I don't know about EU level being that competent.

>>714478771 (OP)
>>714481306
im' very worried that a big chunk of votes is fake.
the count has been increasing too steadily for days now, night or day.
on the other hand the count has increased in countries where you definitely need an ID like Germany.

>>714483472
yes, because what Elon supports never comes to fruition.

>>714483660
>controversial Stop Killing Games movement
Leftists are going to associate SKG with Gamergate when they wake up tomorrow morning mark my words.

EU is already giving them money. They may as well give them more money to make sure Dustborn doesn't turn to dust.

Did you really need a fucking graph to understand the concept of 50%?

The biggest indictment on the intelligence of the SKG cult is how long it took them to figure out that none of the data you enter on the petition is verified in any way and it was easily bottable since day 1.

>>714484624
Not true, it fully depends on country of origin. Germany's signatures are 99% legit because it requires real documents.

>>714484624
The biggest indictment on the intelligence of fagtree simps is that thinking it's a good idea to interfere with an official government process.

>>714478771 (OP)
it had over 600K before the line went straight up
i wouldn't be surprised if someone botted a bunch of votes as it gained momentum to push it past the goal so the internet pats themselves on the back for a job well done and moves on without caring anymore.

>>714485510
just to purposefully to kill the momentum, i should add.

>>714481306
If there is actual botting it doesn't matter. You could bot it up to 10mil and end up with .8mil real votes in the end.

Man, Pirate really is just a lolcow that never stops.

I signed like 100 times with Ross's name for the lols. Binland needs to ID.

>>714485870
>I'm fucking retarded.
Cool.

>>714482265
people will always sign as long as the graph is not filled

doubling down is funny, tripling down is impressive, quadrupling down is pathetic, but he's hundreds deep and it's just fascinating

>>714491214
His view counts are going up so he still wins in the end.

>>714491321
his viewcount's down though

>>714491321
Are they?

Can anyone good at statistics and data science look at the raw signature counts per hour and figure out how much botting we've got to estimate a safe safety margin? Some countries have stricter ID checks so maybe they can be used as "controls" for detecting anomalies.

>>714479056
Oh, no! How many fake signatures you think I'd need to make for Interpol to come after me? I really hope I'm safe!

>>714491321
Weekly Average -27,667
Lol. Made me check.

what is this graph based on?

>>714494329
The naive assumption that 50% of the votes are fake, when the number of fake notes is closer to 95%

>>714479736
Dude my mind is blown

>>714486390

>>714478771 (OP)
good. Fuck these incfluencer virtue signal campaigns. Hate the fucking retards and their stupid woke faggot campaigns.

>>714479024
You retard, you have to write in a REAL NAME and the REAL ID NUMBER connected to that exact same. Made up names/made up IDs/duplicates get their own error messages. You can check it yourself in 30 seconds.

It won't even accept your name with minor typographical errors. You are the dumbest nigger in existence.

>>714479056
>but if you're actually running a bot farm

Another fucking cretin. And how would this bot farm operate? By harvesting ID numbers from... the ether? By hacking into government agencies?

Let me write it down in capital letters.

YOU NEED TO INPUT AN ACTUAL ID NUMBER CONNECTED TO AN ACTUAL NAME, AND THEY HAVE TO MATCH.

IF YOU COULD "BOT" THOSE, YOU'D BE ABLE TO TAKE ON MASS BANK DEBTS ON THOSE PEOPLE INSTEAD OF FUCKING AROUND WITH SOME ONLINE SIGNATURES.

>>714478771 (OP)
>If we assume that 50% of signatures are fake then we can calculate that 50% of them aren't real
Amazing graph.

>>714494329
It's properly labeled. Which is the only proper thing about it.

>>714491321
That's a naive way of seeing the world. You take chip damage from insults. Doesn't matter what your metrics are doing if doing your job becomes miserable because of it. It's why so many online people completely lose their minds after a while.
