Last night, the user "deadlyhabit" posted a thread revealing what he claimed was private correspondence between himself and Chris Spears, the major developer at Portalarium, the company behind Shroud of the Avatar. If true it revealed a massively insecure, thin skinned, dishonest bully who was obsessed with myself personally.
And before I go into the kind of detail about to be presented before an independent judge, let's begin with the most important point.
"I honestly don't know who that is."
Even if the entire post is a forgery, it's irrelevant; I've had cast iron proof that Chris Spears personally not only knew about the claims of harassment, but that he has been actively engaged in working with the person committing it to lash out at myself and others. Because Chris Spears is the only active response in the thread that "jammaplaya" copied me into (in order to try and hurt me even further) where he demanded action be taken against me. And that was in MARCH, a month before this conversation is claimed to have happened.
And the justification used to act maliciously against me, "legal threats", was the very notification I'd given them that I'd had to go to the police about the individual behind the "jammaplaya" account. And my own reports of his abusiveness on behalf of other victims goes back as far as November 2016. I have notifed Berek, Cerus and Lord British himself multiple times since then.
Chris Spears had in fact openly mocked the reports of myself and another victim of the harassment on Reddit. And threw out paranoid claims that KezAzzamean's comments (totally unrelated to the police reports I'd notified them of, so why is he talking to KezAzzamean as if he were me?) were only because "you're curious how much damage you've done? :/ "
Spears knows who "jammaplaya" is. He knows what complaints we've made, even if he lies about them and actively works to support the person doing it. There can be no possible doubt.
But Can We Trust "deadlyhabit"s Leak As Further Evidence?
This is what the Shroud sub-reddits have looked like recently.
Once he thought he'd silenced me, and told himself he'd gained some sort of sick victory by claiming "we both know that the real reason you've now lost everything is because of me.", he moved on to endlessly harassing "deadlyhabit" instead. Again, Portalarium knew about this, because "deadlyhabit" was just one of many, many users who openly posted how he was unable to get Portalarium to take action against him. Again, look at the date; it was also in March. Before Chris Spears apparently said to "deadlyhabit" that he'd never heard of the very man he likely knows the person he's talking too personally reported.
(As an aside, "jammaplaya" tends to have psychotic episodes, and when compiling a timeline for various media interested in the story, it became clear just how many of events were overlapping to specific periods of psychosis).
And just like for me, it's not just a single account abusing him. "Craftymethod" was suddenly very interested in trying to forge reasons to ban or sue him too. If you're wondering why the "Begone!" claims and abuse sound so familiar... you've just read the exact same words directed against me as "Lord_Thotmere" above. Because as I've said ever since he used to post the exact same "negativity forums" ideas as "Craftymethod" on Reddit and "jammaplaya" on the official forums, it was always obviously him, even if until now it's been one of his more dedicated attempts to forge a false identity. It's just as Shroud is now weeks from being closed, he's going completely off the rails and compromising even the accounts he's tried to be more careful on. And right now... “Craftymethod” is joining in the obsession with trying to control and take everything from. "deadlyhabit."
So that's pretty strong evidence "deadlyhabit" is a fellow victim at least.
What is more, I've since been sent claimed leaks from a third party, who claims to be in touch with 2 of the recently fired developers, who independently confirm what the reported conversation says about Chris Spears. That he's a nasty, incompetent, appalling individual, and that he's obsessed with critics and especially me, and that the toxicity of “jammaplaya” is known through-out the office, but rumours are he's protected by somebody.
HOWEVER. As I'm about to detail later, I need to deal with evidence that will stand up in court. And there's one big question mark hanging over how certain I can be, because the whole point of this years long campaign of stalking and gaslighting has been to not only get me to doubt my own sanity, but to make it impossible to ever know who is telling the truth... and thus protect someone being a malicious, dishonest actor from ever being held to account.
Remember, we're dealing with somebody who (even if the insecure, and self-admitted autistic moderator of Raw gets enraged because they don't understand character evidence) has fake identities with social media going back 10 years simply so later he can try and gaslight you by sending videos bragging about how “this jam controls me”. And who then uses that poor moderation to try and further harass you, by reporting any attempt to discuss what he's actually doing as “doxxing”.
That this is someone who creates an identity to claim to be supporting you on your YouTube, (notice “Travelling Sight” in comments there) and then tries to gaslight you on Reddit by PM'ing claims you've abused him, and when you don't fall for that or publicly post the claims which you work out he's fishing for you to do, resorts to forging those claims on a third account to try and frame you to Portalarium... whilst blind idiots on Reddit tell you that you're paranoid because you're aware of just how many times every month he's trying something like this.
This remember is a guy who has attempted to stalk and harass and send death threats to me and my loved ones since late 2016. And he's still at it, coming on for 2 years later. He tried to get into my email again from a proxy in Malaysia 10 hours ago. And before that, on the 26th from a proxy in Brazil...
But the thing is; even if deadlyhabit turned out to be some weird long term troll, it's irrelevant. I don't need it, because I already have the cast iron proof of Portalarium supporting harassment. It does however illustrate the problems caused by people refusing to apply intelligence and dilligence online. It's far too easy for hate filled, but dedicated individuals to destroy any concept of identity because lazy, and proudly stupid or self-obsessed, easily distracted individuals are very, very easy recruits into supporting attempts to gaslight and harm others...
“Or any of his other 4 fake names?”
Here's what's so, so sad about the whole mess.
It should have been OBVIOUS to any intelligent, moral person that you needed to defend the concept of basic integrity of identity, and protect each other from harassment. Once you start breaking down these basic tenets of society, it all collapses, and you get a playground for the genuinely disturbed. But to the geniuses on even the critical side, frankly none of it was real until it hit them personally.
It's not as if he hadn't explained openly what he was doing. From a guide to gaslighting, to attempting to forge one of his sockpuppets on the Portalarium forums as actually being me, it was clear as day, but all someone this screwed up needs to do is keep on doing it, and the morally bankrupt quickly tire of hearing about it and get enraged towards the victim instead.
You saw it on Reddit with the fun, fun, fun drama of Taleisin_Chris' brief reign of incompetence; I'll always treasure the PM's where he justifies his own blatant prejudice about me because he didn't have the sense to question the character of the people writing to him and begging him, the day he'd got the job, not to let Titler back. Gosh, I wonder who they turned out to be?! And then running a poll about closing the subreddit to prove, amongst other things, his own weird need to believe I must be stuffing the poll just like “jammaplaya” was. And then flouncing out of the job again. All whilst I'd not done a damn thing, except sit back and sneer.
And yet, Chris Spears apparently thinks at least 4 people are me too?
I've deliberately kept a single, non-proxy account for all this time to try and at least defend the principle of honesty. After nearly 2 years, the toxic scum that is Shroud's community only managed to get a single reddit account removed in large part because I was posting honestly every time. My IP at Reddit never changed.
But here's the question; does Chris Spears claim what he does because he's been manipulated by endless toxic gaslighting too? I've said multiple times that “jammaplaya” is prepared to burn down Portalarium itself to get at me and others. I'm not entirely convinced he even wants to support the game (and if he does, his mental illness is so bad he doesn't seem capable of understanding he's one of the main causes for why the game and company are about to die). It's entirely possible “jammaplaya” has reported so many of his own sock puppets to Chris in an attempt to get me banned that Chris now believes, just like idiots everywhere never stop and question, that if someone's blown so much smoke up their ass, there must have been a fire somewhere?
To which I say... No, I don't believe that. I think he's just a thin skinned, bullying arsehole who'll make up direct lies just to harm people who upset him. In that infamous thread, he lies about player numbers, the existence of an app, what the app even does, who can use it, and forges claims that people, hinting specifically he means me (because I know the context of his posts) had threatened his children. I of course responded to that in this video here, but all anyone needs to know is the InsaneMembrane forums didn't even exist when he says it happened.
He has previously forged claims that there was an organised campaign to downvote Shroud on the same forums. That never happened either, and many of us told him to prove it if he thought he had any evidence. He of course did not.
Chris Spears is just a nasty dishonest man in general. Independent of whether he's also had endless attempts to tell him that everyone is me from “jammaplaya” too. It doesn't excuse him for not being intelligent, honest and decent enough TO NOT FALL FOR IT.
So, so many people failed that test. He chose to deliberately do so. He's a terrible person.
“Titler is certifiably crazy and people in the non-RAW channel eat up his lies like candy”
Just why IS Chris Spears so obsessed with me anyway? What have I done to make him so irrationally angry he's prepared to put Portalarium itself into a no-win legal situation that I have no incentive to spare them from?
Unfortunately for him, because I wasn't bluffing about taking this all the way, I know exactly what all my communication with Portalarium was, because I've been recording it ever since I first spotted the horrendous moderation on Steam.
Maybe Chris Spears was the second person handling the moderator account there. If so, perhaps that's when I first pissed him off because I refused to let scammers and stalkers lie to potential backers. And then copiously proved what a double standard was being applied to moderatation.
Or maybe it was the prior Open Letter To Chris Spears when I quit the game and community. Back then I was still trying to be polite, but InsaneMembrane archived all the vicious hate I got from the community for pointing out how immoral manipulating even the basic pledge structure to get more short term survival cash was. But if you don't like what you see when a mirror is held up to your faces... change your personality, don't harass and hate the person who showed you what you really are.
After that, apart from selling my account, one reply pointing out MrAdventur3/VladamirBegemot was abusing and slandering me again, and one get well wish for Amber Rayne... I never publicly posted on their forums again.
I did however catch Chris Spears lying about even the basic figures surrounding the game countless times on Steam. Meanwhile the OP there caught their wider staff posting reviews without admitting it was their own project. Again, if you weren't such liars and deceptive charlatans, we wouldn't be so critical. But the sin is yours, not ours for pointing it out.

Was it the time above I dared him to prove his claims about "organised downvoting", and said I'd buy someone a new copy of Shroud if he had any evidence it had ever happened?
Because I told the TRUTH... I'm “certifiable”?
At least I'm sane enough to know that it wasn't the “non-raw” channel where (some) people ate up my comments like candy. In his rage, he got the two forums entirely the wrong way around.
On June 4th Portalarium Received Legal Notification I Was Taking Them To Arbitration As Per The EULA, Over The Use Of Banning My Account To Support Harassment.
The 30 days informal negotiation period following the declaration is about to run out. Portalarium have made NO effort to even respond to me, even though I offered them a way forward to at least gain some public good will by addressing toxic community behaviour.
As all the above should make clear, and this is only a sample of what I have, believe me; Portalarium are going to get reamed at Arbitration. Especially as because no matter how much bullshit you throw around about what you think “Titler” is, Portalarium have to prove that someone on my account and my IP address sent any of the “toxic” content they claimed.
And it never happened.
We've all seen what else did however. And despite what some fools said, and then quietly ran away from, I've actually got all the police reports to address the “legal threats” claims.
“jammaplaya” is going to absolutely destroy Shroud because he didn't have the sense to ever control his desperate need to hurt and harm others... and Portalarium not only apparently avoided Reddit because they were too malicious to see through the lies and hate, but Chris Spears apparently was openly ranting about me personally around the internet, even though he knew I'd retained a lawyer and had a police report in Texas. Again idiots who think nothing is real online might find it easier to just go "Blah blah Titler"; but Portalarium staff knew I had 3 different police forces who were taking it seriously.
They'll be looking again at that report when I have the Arbitration judgement.
There will be a story in the media, regarding Portalarium going bankrupt very, very soon. Watch out for that. The same media is also interested in my personal story. They'll likely run it when I get the judgement of a court too and disprove any last doubts around the endless campaign to blacken my name
I wasn't bluffing. Watch and see. But one final point; From the comments at Raw;
“Titler is almost completely unable to control his verbosity in his own posts and absolutely no one here now or ever is or has been even close to similar. “
Because I choose not too. I never wanted to be, or cared to be like anyone else.
I've also been merrily posting away at many major media outlets that “jammaplaya” hasn't located yet, despite his supposedly claiming he's “taken everything” from me. I'm also, as indicated above, helping inform some of those stories.
But I have however, just to sneer at a distance again towards all the insanity thrown my way on both sides over the years, put up what should be an obvious sock puppet just from the name, and quietly dared my stalkers and critics to even identify it. You lot should have spotted it; it's on a thread you linked too at Raw recently. And if any of the scum do spot it and try and silence me, I'll report them for “doxxing” too...
It's not hard to be dishonest or dirty. In fact, it's the cowards path, because life is so much easier if you're scamming, lying scum whilst everyone else tries to maintain standards. I chose not to be though. I am however having a quiet laugh making a point now Shroud is nearly dead and it soon won't matter who anyone was in the community, because it will be gone.

And it'll be gone, because Portalarium themselves thought protecting someone who wants to kill and bury your children in a box in the desert was worth protecting more than their Kickstarter backers who were lifelong Ultima fans.
