Your reference is iffy...in the AEON thread, in his everyday patter there, smooth shows a lot of technical knowledge. If he were Risto, then Risto's also one helluva techie.
Most people who are here can see that Risto and Smooth are not same persons.
But even if somehow one guy would be able to be so opposite, i am sure that Smooth quarry would not have so much problems staring making profit while quarrying stone in Crypto Kingdom game. At that time, about half year ago, game was run on Google spreadsheet and on IRC. Risto was rolling dices, since he organized that stone quarries subgame. Smooth struggled so hard to find the magic formula. He bought all drills, shovels, workers, secretaries, security guys, ... Just to try to get his quarry profitable. If Risto and smooth would be same persons then smooth quarry would run profitable first week and not after a month or two and hge investments.
