Very early on, maybe about 10 minutes, they put Lumpy on the spot because he had said that there were technical issues that prevented the second stress test, but Proctor had been telling people that all the tech stuff was good, he just was sick ( had a headache) which is why they didnt´have the second stress test. Lumpy told Proctor to explain what happened, but Proctor couldn´t get his microphone working ( he kept blocking it with his chin). Lumpy ended up telling him to just type it, and that he would read it, and it appeared Proctor did type the answer, but Lumpy never got around to reading it, so nobody knows what actually happened with the second stress test.
It is hilarious though, because Lumpy had mentioned in this thread that one of the problems in the past was that Proctor talked to much and had a bad habit of promising stuff he couldn´t deliver, and he even said that ´he´would do more of the talking and communications with the public rather than Proctor. It seemed that was the gameplan, as even before the mic problems, Proctor really wasn´t talking much, it was all Lumpy. The reason it is hilarious is because when Lumpy had been saying all this, he made it sound like he was some big PR businessman who could rebrand the name and turn things around with his professionalism and experience. In the end, he honestly looked as bad as Proctor did in that Fergeson video... he was just a rambling kid who obviously had no business or PR experience. To me, the whole charade fell apart when he started talking about prioritizing the t-shirts because of the cost to send them out.
There was one really interesting line that Lumpy said that I think explains this whole situation.. about the 15 minute mark they are talking about the t-shirts, and Lumpy made a comment to the effect of ´I really didn´t think they existed´... along with most of the people there, they all though Appleton was lying about buying the t-shirts to begin with. It sounds to me like what happened is Lumpy thought he was calling Appleton´s bluff when he said ´I will mail out the t-shirts in exchange for Proctor getting to keep all the software´.. but Appleton did actually have the t-shirts and sent them to Lumpy... and now Lumpy doesn´t have the money to send them out to the KS backers.
In any event, Lumpy and Brax are about the same level of stupidity and can´t think past their current problem. They say stuff and make excuses for the current problem, not realizing how much of a credibility hit or honesty issue that will create later on. As soon as Lumpy said he didn´t have enough money to send out the t-shirts(less than 100).. that was game over. Yes, he successfully explained why the t-shirts have not been sent out, but at the same time anyone who sees that no longer believes anything he said about his PR background, business background or ability to finish or self-fund the game. Brax did the same stuff repeatedly which was part of the reason I challenged him on some stuff, because I knew the easy answer was the one that he would give, and that answer would haunt him long-term.
When Lumpy was in this thread, for the life of me I couldn´t figure out why someone would willingly get involved in a project with Proctor after seeing what happened the last 3 years. (forget Appletone, Proctor was a trainwreck also). But after seeing that video.. Lumpy is just another version of Proctor, but without any computer skills. They are just gamers who never grew up.
