IN THIS EPISODE:
Margaret, Amos and Otto have a run-in with a new infected victim, and for this one, playtime is no joke. Perry continues his intellectual debate with the Starting Five.

Two completely unacceptable posts...

JP's picture
from "ben (unverified), below. And the comments are rated MA. n8 and gman, close your ears.

Hey ben (unverified), I have a few recommendations for you:

1. making unverified posts means you're not legit, or you're incredibly lazy. It's by the grace of the site administrators that your posts even saw the light of day. I suspect that one of the other admins knew that this would only fuel support for Scott and allowed them to pass through.

2. You clearly aren't the fan and supporter you claim to be or you'd know why the delays have happened. Either you don't and as a result have demonstrated you're a complete dumb ass (truly) for opening your mouth before you have all the facts, or you know exactly why Scott has had to suffer these delays and are even more of a shit-head than most probably think you are.

I'm sure you're too stupid to have noticed that Scott doesn't give a shit about shit-for-brains like you, but will really get angry when someone attacks his fans. Well, I'm the same kind of guy, but coming at you from the fan side...I don't really care if you go after me or other fans (beauty--or good fiction--is in the eye of the beholder, so we can agree to disagree on the quality of the work Scott's doing), but to take shots at Scott is more than a fowl. You deserve a solid nose-flattening. Or to have your balls kicked so hard they come out your nose--or the nose of someone in the next county. If you don't know why you're so damn irritating, take some of your valuable "I must have my free content" time and read the website a little closer. And while you're at it, hot shot, why don't you publish a handful (or more) of complete novels as podcasts. And make sure they're so damn successful that Crown Books decides to give you a print deal, even after you've given all your junk away to thousands of fans globally. Go ahead, hot shot! Show us what you've got! Ben (unverified)! I'm anxious to see your quality, free stuff. And be sure to let the bills slip, the family's needs, slip, etc. Don't take any time off, or take care of anything other than giving us the free junk. Just give us some of your free stuff, and ensure it's at least as good as Scott's. If you can't deliver, shoot yourself in the head with a minimum of a .45 cal handgun. And do it somewhere that the rest of us won't have to be bothered by the pathetic news report that your molding carcass was found and can't be identified. We might not realize it's you, puss-bubble, and actually feel bad. Until then, I'm sure looking forward to reading/listening to some of that quality, free ben (unverified) fiction! Bring it on! (How am I doing FDO??? Sorry for the line breaks, but sometimes extreme measures are necessary. The alcohol's on me the next time we meet. Gmork, am I on target??? Can I get into the Evil League of Evil? I gotta get in! Please put a good word in with Dark Horse for me.) Nuff said. I feel better. Now, I need some frackin' gin. I'm OK....

Sorry folks. I shouldn't have called ben (unverified) a puss-bubble. He's a festering puss-bubble. Just wanted to ensure accuracy. FDO: you clobber people when they attack the junkies (and thanks for that!). Just returning the "kindness." No one f's with our FDO!

...your books, your podcasts, everything that you release to us junkies is frigging awesome, and I'm willing to wait as long as it takes for content.  Your good buddy Magnus appreciates your ultra hard work and urges you to keep it up...at your own pace.  I understand that those butt-rockets are expensive and that there are bills to be paid.  No negative energy here. 

Thanks, you're awesome, keep up the awesome work!

Hell yea and other shite

Scott, Happy to see our FDO put Ben in his place. Ben - why don't you go and listen to some other free podiobooks by other main stream authors...oh wait...you can't because they don't give them away for FREE! Oh, and why don't you just add those well known author names to your IM so you can chat...oh wait, they don't do that shite. Or how about emailing them? Oh wait, you get some sort of automated reply or a reply from some lackey. Have you ever chatted with Scott on IM? Email him? He responds immediately. Quit your bitchin' bro. Like I stated in a previous post, Scott needs to make a living. I think I know Scott well enough to say that he DESPISES releasing an episode late. Do you think he gets off on releasing it late? HELL NO! Scott - good to see you back. Glad to hear the SMOD is going well. Keep kicking ass and don't worry about us junkies...we know our dealer will always come through with the finest shite around!

im sick of infected!!!

It's been a month?!

AarrowOM's picture

Thank the Manifold I had finals and thesis to finish this month because I would swear it's been only a week or two!

While I understand that the FDO has a life ourside the podosphere, I hope that I can get my Nocturnal fix before I leave on a 2-week/no-computer-or-internet vacation.

Most that are profound would choose to narrate tales of living men with nouns like sorrow, verbs like lose, and action scenes, and love, but then there are now some, and brave they be, that speak of Lunar cities raised and silver spheres and purple seas.

Can someone remind me...

what Nocturnal was about? I've completely forgotten.

The gall of some people...

 Scott, please don't think everyone is as ungrateful as some I am seeing. Most of us appreciate your hard work, and enjoy everything you do. Its one thing to kid around, another entirely to be rude. I don't think some people appreciate how much work goes into these podcast. I think the reason people are so impatient is that the work is so good. It is thoughtful, challanging and getting better all the time. Please don't hold it against everyone because somebody acts like they were pottytrained with a clothespin.

Yeah

Wow Ben

Bro, you need to chill. As much as you dislike the wait (we all do), Scott needs to also make a living. He has other responsibilities besides us. If he needs to do a SMOD for his publisher because it is his publisher who is paying him (not you), then his priorities are to the publisher and not us. He needs to pay the bills, bro. Scott, man just do what you need to do. Your focus, as we loyal junkies know, is with the family, the publisher, and then us. We all hate the wait but know in the end it will be worth it. For those of us who have been on the ride for so long, we will remain loyal.

Sorry Scott but I'm now clean from your drugs.

Bacillen's picture

4 weeks with no episode. I like your books but I hate to wait.

While waiting for the next episode I have now listened to all Seth Harwood Jack Palms books

and I can realy recommend them.

But now it's getting harder to remember the Nocturnal story.

 

Please Scott, publish the last episodes now, or at least tell us when you will.

 


Wow.

JP's picture
This from a supposed OJ. Scott, I'd delete this fellow's profile if I were the FDO. An amazing lack of respect for the very real (non-fiction) reasons for your delay in publishing. What an ass. Hey, Bacillen, why don't you get lost, dumb ass. You and the other disrespectful ass that's been posting here... seriously. Words to follow for that dumb-ass too...

"I demand this free content

"I demand this free content meet my expectations! Or else...~shakes fist~" Please don't mistake my frustration for greed. I think I made my point clear, the way Nocturnal has "gone down" has been a bit (and I'm being very kind) unstable no? I probably 4-5 Sigler RSS feeds in my news reader and as a whole, they aren't organized or well managed. Giving user feedback doesn't make me any less of a fan of the works of Mr. Siglers that I do enjoy. The way it is syndicated may be lacking while much of the work itself is not right? Do I have to stroke the proverbial loin of this author in order to prove myself to him or to others that I am the biggest fan or most hardcore 'junkie'. I'm saying it doesn't make sense not to continue/finish what you start. My venom is will hopefully help Mr. Sigler in the long run, I doubt he will do this in his next podcast novel. None is demanding free content here. I haven't heard Scott or Mevio say how much the listenership for this show/feed as increased in quite a while. Probably wouldn't hurt to listen to critical feedback as well as all the ass kissing and general fan mail. Obviously I am a fan of the works. I've made it clear that being bombarded with other content seems to be a bit 'silly' for that matter. As an author you would never stop your book, even your serialized book to start or continue another work altogether. You never hear someone not finish a song and instead (before the last verse) start another song altogether.
I obviously like Scott Sigler, it is kinda nutty though if you have watched the feed, as a user, hey- it's feedback people. Props to the Mods for posting it, not verified or otherwise. I was harsh and reactionary in my 1st post, but I read it back just now; and it is a fair reflection of one reader's frustrations in trying to get through this book and use this feed. Sorry I don't know Scott personally or feel compelled to kiss his royal ass to prove myself to my friends, I'm sorry. I am not sorry about what I said. It's fucking stupid to release one chapter in 5 weeks and expect anyone to take this book seriously. Fuck character developement, fuck arching storylines, fuck any sense of urgency in the plotline or caring at all about what happens to Rex or to Savior or Brian or.... Who waits a month to read the next chapter (especially one of the last) of a book?! Come on Scott, you are better than this. You usually show more respect for your own hard work than this. The work itself is deserving of more fitting syndication. No new listener would have enjoyed their experience with this feed for the last 5 weeks. I'll leave it at that, scoff me all you like, I'll obviously be waiting for the next chapter. In the meantime I'll listen to more Western's by Elmore Leonard, you sick fucks. Just kidding about that 'sick fucks' thing, but I thought I'd make a (failed) attempt at humor.

p.s. you seem to think you know a lot about publishing audiobooks, podcasts, etc. so how about letting us hear some of your work eh?   thought so...... you got nothing, you little ponce. 


I think greed is just one of many flaws you have

Ben,

 

It's sadly obvious that you are venting your frustrations from your mother's concrete womb, that place in her basement that you call your "Bachelor Pad." The place you don't have to face real human contact, failures or responsibilities. You have little if no interpersonal skills or understanding of lifes priorites.

 

Scott has tried to keep his readers in the loop, albeit in his unique Sigleristic way. That's all we can ask. Nothing more. He doesn't owe us anything because we haven't paid for anything. The content is free. So if the usually stellar schedule gets disrupted what have we lost? Nothing. We've had an interesting, fascinating story up to this point. Does it suck it's been delayed, maybe, but there's bound to be something else you can fill that 30 minutes a week on. You know, like a life?

 

Really takes these three words: Family, Finances, Free. Which is more important? Well I kind of gave you a hint by putting them in order, at least to what a normal person would perceive. I have a family emergency, I'm taking time off from work (Finances) and I'm definitely not going to be doing any podcasting (Free). When I get an option to bump up my print schedule for a book (Finances) that will obviously give me time with my Family, and ultimately allow me to do my podcast (Free), then I'm sure as heck going to postpone podcast to finish the SMOD so I can meet that early deadline.

 

It's really not that hard to understand and that's how I would see it if I were Scott Sigler. It's simple actually unless of course you live in your mother's basement and you've contributed nothing to this world except to mooch off the rest of us.

 

Get out of that basement, goto a book store and buy a copy of INFECTED. Meet some real people, interact with society, have a day of it. If you read the book and thinks it sucks then you can come back here and complain. That's a consumer's right.

Don't like waiting?

Wolf's picture

Do what the rest of us do. Deal with it. Want to throw a little good natured ribbing to Sigler? Go ahead. He's already proven that he can take it. Still wanna think you deserve Nocturnal? You have several choices here. Wait for it, like the rest of us. Unsubscribe and just forget the whole thing. It ain't like Sigler suddenly goes broke if you decide not to take advantage of his FREE gift. And then there's a couple of other ways to go that you may not have thought of.

1. Pay someone with the talent equal to Scotts to finish it over the weekend. Good luck on that one.

2. Finish it yourself, douchebag. Apparently you know how the free podcasting of original material with the quality of Nocturnal, Infected, Earthcore and all the rest is supposed to work. So YOU do it.

3. die

Hey, Ben quoted ME!

Ben,

You're being a douchebag. First of all, I have one feed. Not five. All my content goes through feed.feedburner.com/scottsigler. The "other" feeds are managed by podiobooks.com. All the episodes are posted there, and most of those book are COMPLETE, so I'm at a loss to say how they could be messed up.

If you don't think I'm showing respect, working hard, or anything like that, just unsubscribe.

Your "venom" isn't helping anything. It isn't hurting anything. I've got bills to pay, I'll do the work that pays those bills. 

Do you guys really think it's my preference to put a story on hold for weeks? Don't be a fucking idiot. There's only so many hours in the day, I have projects that put food on the table, those have to come first. 

-Scott- 


Well Said!

Well said Scott. Well said. You deserve WAY more respect then this... I'm not even sure what he is... gives you. Keep up the great work!

Damn You SIgler!!

How dare you be so so so, responsible!!!!! You want to pay your bills so you and your family can eat and have electricity. You don't need those things!

 

Oh wait, no electricty means no new content, and you starving to death would definately hold up our fixes.

 

Don't listen to douche bags and just take care of business.

 

True Junkies understand, oh we may be pissed and twitching, going through serious withdrawls but we understand, and once you hand out our next fix, FOR FREE, I might add, we're happy lil bunnies again...for a while. 


GO SIGLER!!!!

Good Answer

Good answer!  I don’t know how you kept it so polite!  You’re a gentleman underneath that bald round head that wants to rule the world!  You should have to Ben to go stick his ugly ungrateful greasy excuse of a head up his ass and then go sit on a giant blender, the guy is a complete dick head.  I don’t know how you do it.


YOU LOVE FOOD, SHELTER AND YOUR FAMILY MORE THAN YOU LOVE US!!!

 

You . . . .you . . . .you . . . .you're a grown-up.

 

There's only one thing that you can do to make up for this mature and balanced behavior. DON'T KILL POOKIE.

that's frustrating

Who cares about releasing Infected a second time? I listened to it the first time! Seriouslly, finish Nocturnal already. Then, how about you give us that damn Earthcore sequel, Mount Fitzroy, that you've been promising for like a year? Its been so long since the last Nocturnal episode that I've forgotten what's going on in the story. Screw your SMOD crap. We'd all be a lot more excited if you just shit out the last couple of chapters of Nocturnal, and THEN got your lazy ass busy on the next book!

It's about time! :)

SMOD

THis SMOD doesn't have anything to do with Mike Luoma because he is taking his time with Vatican Ambassador updates as well ... it is hard being a junkie ... all praise to the dealers

Wow, still no new episode eh?

You are really gonna wait almost month between new chapter releases of Nocturnal so you can spam us with (more) infected reposts? WTF, this is sloppy and disrespectful to listeners. Not to mention abuse of an RSS feed if ever there was. :Roll: Some "dark overlord", can't even get a book done or chapters out in a timely fashion. Does it really seem like a good idea to stop the book you are syndicating in order to send out numerous episodes of a book most of us have already read. I for one will never, ever buy a Sigler book, I'll get it all for free and never pay one dime. Sorry but that is what it is worth at th is point. Not that your stories are bad Scott, but I'm afraid I'll flip a page and instead of the next chapter it will actually have chapters from another, previously released but repackaged book, never knowing when the original story will resume. Advice from a listener, get your shit together. The way you have handled the last month of this feed has been a slap in the face to your "junkies", my advice, just finish the book and release the rest as one episode. Say you are sorry, give away alot of Podshow/Sigler Swag or something, post humbly, don't post with the fake gusto and inflated ego that we usually see. You can't live up to it anymore. Sorry man. Figure it out already, you are actually gettting worse in your constistancy in relation to your other books. You've probably seen your numbers fall quite a bit for this, don't be suprised. Just figure it out, stay focused, have respect for your fucking audience. Going a month without a relevant release is a douchebag move. 20 bucks says your next podio book is a sequel to somnething you've already started, not the worst idea, but definitely because we know not to get invested with new characters, or a plotline, or....
-Ben
Have respect for your listeners. We make you, we can break you. It's not your content, it is OUR enthusiam. When that goes away, so do you my friend. caio.
ps- thx mods for removing this, hope you read it 1st :D Not being mean just a frustrated subscriber. What can I say?

you have a problem.  but it is not sigler.  just think out of about 3.5k fans you are the only one who would say crap like that. it just aint cool.  yeh sigz is late. but he is out scratching his bold head trying to shake more crap out for us to listen to for free.  if u dont like it fuck off to another rss, website or just go drown in a used toilet.

Come on man

syndex's picture

Nocturnals winding up, so there has to be something to replace it I figure, so we are waiting a month or so for the next update, its free and it damn good. If I was hammering out my hard earned on it I would have license to be pissed but as I am not its cool. BTW we haven't all read/listened to infected so it is pretty cool to have it as a layover, just because you have managed to listen to it doesn't make it shite to post it for the rest of us. Also if the next big thing is a sequel so much the better I for one am happy to go back and play in the Ancestor/rookie/earthcore worlds again. Put bluntly in the FDO we trust.

Are you for real

Gitsh's picture

You said it yourself, it’s free!  How can you have a bitch? Four weeks between episodes, I admit it’s killing me and I am getting pissed of when I check my podcast page and find its not there.  But hey, its free I am not paying for it.  And if you like Scott’s work enough; you will wait as long as it takes.


Why don’t you go listen to somebody else!
