Thanks for the reply. I think the quest...Hi Marcus,<br />Thanks for the reply. I think the question everyone is wondering is, have things changed suddenly and does the closure of the store have anything to do with a change in your relationship with Ken? <br /><br />"I employ Ken to manage that retail store, of which I am the owner."<br /><br />Now the store is closing. I mean, I guess we'll find out if he shows up at your other store instead, but a number of folks (myself included) are wondering if you have suddenly found yourself victimized by Ken as well. There should be no joy to be found here if that is the case, after all - you owe Ken your life. It is indeed even more tragic if you too have been taken advantage of.<br /><br />That you are attempting to help Ken make good on ANY of the Kickstarters is a noble endeavor.<br />Ceronomushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336196754943196901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-7691047166819499842017-07-12T06:21:47.386-04:002017-07-12T06:21:47.386-04:00All I'll say is I am looking forward to produc...All I'll say is I am looking forward to products from John Adams and Bill Barsh (Brave halfling and Pace setter games) if you want to crucify one fellow, well, rules are rules...joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15227519917552742795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-81480398339366914072017-07-12T05:25:09.744-04:002017-07-12T05:25:09.744-04:00Oh, Marcus King, better yet!

He's 50. He needs to act like an adult and fulfill his obligations, not hide behind you.<br /><br />This is how your friend acts: http://www.tenkarstavern.com/2017/07/conmanken-complete-with-2nd-grade.html<br /><br />I'm sorry. Less then 3 weeks to Ken's own revised and promised deadline. I offered him cold hard cash if he completed his obligations at his own stated deadline. He declined.<br /><br />Ken is making no effort. Yes, you are an enabler. I'm glad he saved your life but he has fucked over the rest of the community and spit in their faces.<br />Tenkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159289652051155824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-82669213491784826742017-07-11T14:18:44.947-04:002017-07-11T14:18:44.947-04:00Marcus,

People who trusted and put their hard earned money into Ken's lies and debacles.

I've said this many times,...Hey guys and gals. I've said this many times, but will repeat myself again. Ken Whitman saved my life on September 16, 2006. I am his loyal friend.<br /><br />I employ Ken to manage that retail store, of which I am the owner.<br /><br />He has worked there and been open about it for several months. Nobody has ever attempted to serve papers to him there. He works Thursday through Tuesday, Wednesday being his day off.<br /><br />He is popular with customers, and co workers alike, though he can be a bit annoying occasionally. I imagine that can be said of me, also.<br /><br />It was I, Marcus King, who signed the signature of Marcus King on the comic advertised as signed by Marcus King. That being my name, I think I can sign it.<br />The promotion about the comic being super special may have landed on tone deaf ears with your crowd, but I do sell them for $9. I thought it was kind of cool that my name is the name of the main character, and bought over 200 copies due to that. I imagine I will be giving them away for years, but I hope it becomes the most popular comic since Action #1.<br /><br />As always, I stand by my friend Ken due to loyalty, which never wavers. I hope to be positioning him to work on the Traveller ships shortly, as we are seeking a new location with proper ventilation for pouring and casting the ships properly. Mister Marc Miller has approved my assistance in this. As we produce each ship, we will sell extra copies of those ships in order to finance the next model. Keep in mind, I am now to this mess and received not a penny from the KS in which I am attempting to make good.<br /><br />I wish you guys well. But, if you gotta hate me because I don't hate Ken - hate well, I will never turn my back on Ken.<br /><br /><br />Marcus KingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082834040368898146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-80493534629251975952017-07-11T10:45:22.861-04:002017-07-11T10:45:22.861-04:00Basically this.
