Jamison Stone Accusations

From @realmsmithtv, @SatinesQuest was just last week; @StoneJamison has not been trying to grow out of his actions over these years. His apology is simply a decently written attempt to save face. Too many have been affected for a wordy statement to rectify pic.twitter.com/PpZGZoUxcU

Chad's not the only one. Jamison gaslit and bullied us on Sirens: Battle of the Bards for asking to be paid after we were told to invoice by one of the other project leads (Rick Heinz). We eventually were paid…most of us less than we initially invoiced for, but it's done. https://t.co/pIJOs6nkQr pic.twitter.com/57DqA9Y3XX
