"Ahh the coke air, coke air. You know the coke air? The nooo one. I always, I always order the, the cola. Coca cola and without cola. I always order the cola and without cola. Cola! I like cola, yeah. I always, I always order the, the carbionated cola. Ahh how can I explain? I can explain by my drawing! I always order like the carbionated cola that it has cola on here, this part, the ear. Ear of bottle. And then, I order- wh- when I order cola, the ear- it always have a cola on h- on a top, but I pick up these... away! cause I don't drink it. And then I smell the cola air. Okay? You understand?

Hmm. Mayhaps the Nijisisters shouldn't have gone on a misinformed warpath that reignited ire against them.

She made the joke!!!

Is she here? Please leave Doki, nothing to see. Go buy more of your own merch or see a financial advisor or something.

Found this interesting thing on r/kurosanji, Katliente let slip the URL on her google dockey that she did against Doki
Heres an archive


While the project clearly started off on a bad foot because of terrible communication, the PC Building is a catastrophic idiot and I'm pretty sure they were using ChatGPT to make themselves sound smarter. I can see doing the quick pre-production sketch-up if it ended up being in a hurry, but, after that, they should have done nothing else without a contract. That's wholly on them.

Also, this wasn't a custom copper installation. It was an off the shelf AIO setup. At most, it was 3 days of work, lol.

they ... didn't do nothing else after the sketch-up though?
Timeline
Feb 20: Doki made an open invitation for artists to join her auction on twitter
Between Feb 20- Feb 27: Celeste send a DM to Doki's team, asking to join
Feb 27, 16:41: Manager 1 accepted the artist, and asked for a sketch to put on the auction that's going to happen on March 3rd.
Feb 28, 17:41: Artist gave out the sketch
(This is what the artist charged $5000 pound in cancellation fees for, a sketch made in a day)
Feb 28 -> March 3: Manager 1 got ghosted for a revision to the sketch and what the actual pricing be. Manager 1 being a genius manager pick an arbitrarily numbers of 3,500 and confirmed "Doki will pay whatever you are going to charge" and edited the sketch themselves with photoshop.
March -> June: Some minimal back and forth and artist went to rehab. Never agreed on a pricing.
June 2024 -> Dec 2024: Doki's mom and Doki fought legally for her company, noone answered the artist.
Jan 2025 -> Feb: Doki contacted artist for a new contract with her new company, but couldn't agree on pricing

The artist charged 120 hours, $5000 for the fucking sketch that she did under 25 hours (which honestly I think she whipped up in 3 hours at most) and the discord chats.... and whatever the fuck "administrative tasks" means.

March: Some back and forth and artist went to rehab. Never agreed on a pricing.
March 2024 -> Dec 2024: Doki's mom and Doki fights legally for her company, Doki forgo about this whole ordeal
Jan 2025 -> Feb: Doki contacted artist for a new contract and redoing the bid, but couldn't agree on pricing

Did this document include the bit about time lapse for all of the weeks of work they put in? Because they claimed, somewhere, to actually have done a bunch of work, which Doki was willing to pay for if they could provide proof. They put together an item list (sans Storage, lol), but, good point, there's actually no confirmation they did anything beyond the sketch. Still, they might have done something at some point, which is kind of par for the course of someone that works themselves into scamming others. It's... weird, but I've run into that before.

Though the message from the current Manager is pretty funny, because they're kind of correct. If there was an implied contract, it's with the former company.

Well, now that I look at it, the actual breakdown is even more insane than I thought
  • On January 10, Doki sent a twitter DMs to the builder, asking to restart the project.
  • On January 13 at 10:40 AM, the builder replied to Doki, asking to work over discord.
  • On January 14 at 7:59 AM, Doki responded to the artist, sharing Manager 3's Discord account for her to add.
So, the builder claimed she was owed $340 for working from 10:40 AM to 6:40 PM on January 13—before she had spoken a single word to Doki's staff.
unnamed.png
From January 14 to January 16, the builder and Manager 3 collaborated to finalize the components and pricing before presenting them to Doki and the buyer.
On January 16, she sent over a PDF file, which was essentially an 'updated components list'—meaning she had changed some components—and included her full pricing of $7,200.
3.jpg
Between January 16 and January 18, Manager 3 informed the builder that the $7,200 quote was too high.
On January 18, the builder responded, stating she had consulted with one of her contacts and could reduce the build cost to $3,500, bringing the total to $6,600
Screenshot 2025-05-16 171714.jpg
Manager 3 refused this $6,600 offer, insisting that the amount should include shipping and taxes.
He decided to involve Doki in the discussion but had already expressed his desire that he no longer wanted to work with the builder.
2..png
From January 19 to January 30, they engaged in slapfighting and unable to reach a conclusion.
On January 30, the builder submitted an invoice and a calculation notes. Charging $5100 for "the work" she had provided from January 13 to January 31.
Manager 3 did not read the document properly and mistakenly believed that the 120 hours labeled as 'pre-production cost' were for the mock-up. He requested a timelapse to justify why the mock-up would require 120 hours of work.
4.jpg
But if you look at her actual calculation, she started charging from 13 to 31 January....

Tl;dr the 120 hours work wasn't even the fucking mock-up, she was charging $5100 for DISCORD MESSAGES & TWITTER DMS.

On Jan 10, Doki dm-ed the builder
On Jan 13 10:40, the builder replied to Doki with their discord account for contact
On Jan 14 7:59, Doki replied to the artist with Manager 3's discord for her to add

So the builder claimed she is owned 340 dollars, for working from 10:40 AM to 18:40 on Jan 13, before she has spoken a single word to Doki's staff.
On Jan 14- Jan 16, builder and manager 3 work with each other to agree on the final parts and pricing, before presenting to Doki's and the buyer
On Jan 16, she sent over a PDF files, which is basically an "updated components parts", aka she changed some components and her full pricing of 7.2kView attachment 98597
From Jan 16 - Jan 18, Manager 3 told her 7.2k is too much, On Jan 18, builder reply she got with one of her contacts and can lower the build to 3.500, making the total $6.6k.
View attachment 98594
Manager 3 actually pushed back against this $6.6k initial offer, he wanted $6.6k with shipping & tax included.
He decided to include to Doki, but already expressed that he wants Doki to drop the builder
View attachment 98595
From Jan 19 > Jan 30, They argued with each other and couldn't come up with an agreement
On Jan 30, builder dropped that invoice & calculator. Note that the invoice counted 31/1.... which hasn't happened yet.
Manager 3 didn't read the thing properly and thought the 120 hours, aptly labeled "pre-production cost" was for the mock-up. And demanded a timelapse for why this mock-up would need 120 hours to be worked on.

That even makes it more confusing. I'm starting to think less "stupid" and more "high as a freaking kite". This is some meth-addled accounting going on. Good work there, I hadn't read closely but I thought they were charging some weeks back during the middle of 2024 that they did work without a contract (stupidly). But, apparently they just decided to just charge Doki for them existing?

It has to be drugs. Scamming is one thing, but this screams altered mental states.

We need to make some "scammer alert" thread

The "Bao Memorial Potential Vtuber Scams" thread. Or "34k in the Blowhole" or something.

I have.... sadly come with evidences that this isn't the person being high or delusional but it's a strategy that was employed many times by said person
dowh3m.png

I'm not going to bother reading the entire book but I'm basing it off a review in here
This book gives you those figures to get you into the ballpark so you don't feel like an idiot asking for $1,500 for a logo, when you should've been asking for $15,000
How much do I charge when I'm making a favor bag for a company? IN. THE. BOOK.
It also gives you a great backbone to go back to and say "Sorry, but the industry standard is this" when a client balks at a price
From my understanding, "coming up with 10 different quotations" "avoiding discussing exact rates before taking a job" "charging minimum wage per hours and count every single living hours as working hours" "quoting an outrageous pricing then discount a huge portion of it to pressure the client into accepting" "claim you are only charging industry standard" "how to elevate your position" "demanding an absurb cancellation fee"
These are all strategies outlined in the book to upsell a logo from $1,500 to $15,000. This is not the person's first rodeo. She has done this many times before and British corpos were dumb enough to accept her rates.

The person is not high. They aren't living in an alternate reality. There are a host of them artists out there upcharging clients without backbones and with surplus money.
You don't hate artists enough.

tl;dr they aren't high, they are actually evil.

You have much more patience than I do, haha. Great find.

I don't like the wholesale IP theft of Art LLMs, but I do find it regularly a problem being supportive of nearly all artists. Actually, it's "Twitter Artists", really, that are so loathsome.

Looks like they just took the first manager saying "Doki will pay whatever you say" to heart and tried to see how high they could go. :Katta-Semetic-Content:

Also, the retarded censored it wrong and the "addiction" that prevented them from working for at least a month was for fucking nicotine. :mintcrazy:

No, she got butthurt at drama channels because her company Streisand Effect-ed the fact that they were having a big wave of graduations and possibly doing shady things with investors, at a time when many other corpos were getting exposed as bad actors. Or, to put it another way, drama channels being retarded does not make her not retarded. (Background information can be found in this thread.) Her position was not nearly as righteous as that which Doki currently has.

Chimo the minor but frequently reoccuring Nijisister, blue haired samurai from the west.
I was looking at the cope from the announcement that Niji would be hiking their prices on their copy and paste merch, when I saw him and decided to look at his more recent tweets.
The Nijisisters will not, CANNOT stop themselves from coming off as the most callous and shittiest fanbase in vtubing.
Here's that fat femboy Chimo for whatever reason timelooping to claiming Doki didn't attempt twice because she was bullied, it was all the BPD.

Imagine defending Katliente by timelooping it to be about BPD was the reason Doki attempted TWICE.
