Scruffpuff: Dec 23, 2015; Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?

Star Citizen isn't a game - it's a marketing company whose product is marketing materials for marketing itself. It's literally a crowdfunded crowdfunding platform built to crowdfund itself.

We need to keep giving them money or their ability to collect our money will be compromised.

Star Citizen: We're going to need to work together if we're going to not do this.

They literally stumbled backwards into red bull's business strategy, but they couldn't have picked a dumber product to build it around. It's truly amazing.

Hmmmm I dunno, still conflicted. On the one hand, I'm pro-cast iron cooking, so can agree with his position on that. On the other, he has a predilection for grilled beet and goat cheese samiches, so...........

I actually remember where I was for this, parked up just off the edgeware road as it was a slow work day, alternately choking and crying with laughter as I read through each one of Derek's increasingly furious posts, passers by giving me some funny looks.

Nah, so far only one person in my ignore list for the next two weeks. I tend to disable it once I've gotten over it. Take my nephew Ricky (aka Ravane) for instance. He was blocked for almost three weeks. Then he pulled a daring stunt that forced my hand to unblock.

D_Smart posted:

It wasn't a Stolen Valor issue. Also, little known fact: I have several family members and friends in the military, and other govt. agencies

Anyway...

Someone posted here a Tweet to Sandi, after one of her stupid-as-poo poo Tweets. A reply was from someone claiming to be a Vietnam vet, congratulating her.

Since it looked suspicious (he referred to Sandi as "young"; which set off all the alarm bells in my chest), I wanted to check to make sure he was in fact a vet *before* I responded to a Tweet he was part of.

Then I checked the Twitter profile and saw clues about "daughters" creating his Twitter account; he's learning etc. At this point, the alarm bells in my torso were already going off.

Next I checked his followers and those he followed

Then I checked his online exposure

At that point, the warning bells on the balls of my feet were already making my legs twitch.

Then I checked the only online dB I know which has these records. It was now behind a paywall. And as I had started to suspect it was a dummy account, I wanted to find out how far down the rabbit hole the conspiracy went. How remarkable would it have been if in fact a dummy account, with adulation (like so many in their feeds) was traced back to them? That's like a Platinum mine of hilarity that's worth at least 50 pages here.

Not wanting to waste money, seeing as I already came to the conclusion that it was a dummy (a troll account didn't occur to me at the time btw) account, I decided to call up someone who does this stuff for a living. Just to make sure.

The results? Confirmed kill.

Then I posted the Tweets here

Then someone made the connection with the Twitter account image by posting an article with that same person's picture on it. And that was additional proof that I was right; and that the account - and the claim of being a war vet - were bogus.

Then someone excerpted a reply showing that some annoying (I too have limits) poo poo, Ravane, who I had blocked (here on SA) weeks back, claimed he was behind the account.

Meanwhile, I was already having an exchange on Twitter with the twerp (that would be Ravane, who foolishly burned a well-seeded troll account) who had chosen - of his own volition - to burn his account by Tweeting nonsensical rubbish to me, which clearly show he was behind a troll account.

The account was now a confirmed troll. Essentially, burned.

During all this, the utterly clueless SpazSpergs camping out in /r/Derek Smart/ were having a field day with self-owning bullshit that you couldn't make up even if you were high, and jacking off on a train to the Sound Of Music audio track.

The End.

ps: Again, something related to Star Citizen, in this case Sandi being trolled, ends up being good for about 25+ pages of unbridled hilarity. BONUS: proving once again that the kind of saps over on /r/Derek Smart/ are the special kind that having been separated from their money, didn't have much to lose in the first place, seeing as they were already senseless morons ripe for the fleecing.

I just want to say that leonard was burned after two tweets because Derek had the insatiable need to prove Lenny wasn't a war vet and then decided to call him out on it. Not sure how low-key you can be after that, haha. But sure, blame me Derek.
