Tweah Attributes Weah’s Failure to Prosecute Corrupt Officials To UNMIL Withdrawal

Samuel Tweah, former Minister of Finance, has attributed the George Weah-led government’s inability to prosecute former corrupt officials from Ellen Johnson Sirleaf’s administration to the departure of the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL). In a recent joint radio interview in Monrovia, Tweah explained that the government chose not to initiate legal actions against these officials to…

Replaying VtM Swansong: up to the first Galeb sequence on Long Island.

Joseph Manneh, my beloved. Truly my favourite NPC, his conversation with Galeb is one of the game’s highlights. I like his fairly open attitude regarding vampires, but that he’s not a complete dumbass about it. If you try to guilt trip him about the Inquisition he reminds Galeb that kindred are not exactly sheep sent to the slaughter. I’m probably going to restart the whole scene purely because Galeb’s willpower is too low to get through this without Joseph dying, and I doubt there are any old coins conveniently lying around the old fort (except those damn florins you just can’t interact with!)

When Gough sat down to write a narrative ending for the survival crafting game, he said it felt like the universe flowed through him. “I wrote it longhand, and, as I did so, sometimes my wrist sped up, and I would watch words simply appear on the page before me, without my conscious mind having any idea what the next word would be,” he said on his Substack. “So, the universe (or my unconscious, or Thalia, or the ghost of Philip K. Dick) dictated the ending, and I polished it up a little and delivered it to Markus.”

According to Gough, Persson loved the poem—which scrolls for about 9 minutes at the end of Minecraft once players defeat the Ender Dragon—and didn’t want to change a word. Persson put the poem into the game and had Carl Manneh, then the CEO of previous Minecraft owner Mojang, reach out to Gough about getting paid. According to Gough, the two exchanged emails but never formalized an agreement. Eventually, Mojang sent Gough €20,000, which he spent.

A month later, Gough said, Mojang sent Gough a contract that would sign away his rights to the ending poem. He refused. “I let them use the story, even though there was no contract, because I liked Markus, and I liked the fact that lots of people were reading the story,” he said.

[...]

A few years later, Mojang reached out to Gough again. It was 2014 and the company was about to sell Minecraft to Microsoft in a multi-billion-dollar deal. They needed Gough to sign over the ending to placate the corporate giant. Again, Gough refused. They sold the game anyway and Microsoft kept using the poem.

According to Gough, the idea that his friend wanted him to sign away the rights to his poem hurt. So did the fact that Persson made billions of dollars from the game. Gough could have used some of that money. The problem tortured him for years, he said.

[...]

Then he took mushrooms in the woods around the Dutch town of Apeldoorn. “I just told the universe, OK, forget about what I want; just give me whatever you think I need,” he said. “And it gave me, to my intense surprise, advice about Minecraft, and Microsoft… and you.”

Gough realized that the reason he was upset wasn’t the money. It was that he’d let the money stop him from enjoying the love he had received from creating something so many people enjoyed. “I had actively hidden away from love. Because there were many, many people who tracked me down over the years (my name is in the credits of the game, and with a bit of googling you can find a contact for me): I frequently got Twitter DMs, and emails, and messages through my website, that told me how much the End Poem had meant to people,” he said.

“And that night, with the stars blazing above, the universe told me that it wasn’t acceptable for me to give love, but then refuse to receive it,” he said. “That was just fake humility; another form of arrogance, of ego. I had to allow people to say thank you; I had to accept whatever gifts people might wish to offer in return, because too much charge was building up along that blocked circuit. I had to complete the circuit. Let it flow.”

Gratitude! on His Birthday, Kalasco Thanks Former President George Weah For Grooming Him.

In a world where public figures often receive praise for their achievements, there are few moments when they, in turn, express heartfelt gratitude for the people who have shaped their success. This was exactly the case on the birthday of former Liberian President George Weah, as his longtime friend and ally, Kalasco, flipped the script. Instead of receiving the praise, George Weah became the…
