Beer4TheBeerGod posted:That's pretty damning. I wonder if they'll ever be able to verify that video enough to share it.  Having said that, if this goes to court and the allegations turn out to be true and CIG loses, then I'll buy my first Derek Smart game that very same day! Not that I've been researching or anything, but, it'll probably be "Universal Combat CE - The Lyrius Conflict"

At least Roberts was smart enough to spend $20k on an actual cappuccino machine and not a jpeg and a promise of a great cappuccino machine in the future.

Derek smart is having the best time of his life since usenet 1999, he's already been abundantly reimbursed for this whole episode. And he's a multimillionaire doctor with, heh, more than one property

Kimsemus posted:I suppose the con will also be an easy litmus test to see whether or not Dr. Smart makes true allegations. If everything he said about the con (citcon, not SC) is true, to me it goes some ways in making his entire platform more believable. The not-cultists at Reddit are arguing that all of this is pretty obvious stuff. I'm inclined to disagree, as the introduction voiced over by Gary Oldman is pretty specific and the only time Oldman has been mentioned anywhere in the SC reddit was in this rumor leak. The other three (Star Marine footage, multicrew footage, and the cast reveal) aren't exactly hard to predict though. What Smart really needs is something damning and obvious to prove his authenticity, like the name of the ship being revealed.

Look at all these little jpegs! So shiny, so expensive. What a lovely ballet ensues, so full of whales and concept art. Now think about all those backers who donated, hundreds of people who won't be able to feed their children tonight, so those children can grow up dreaming about spaceship games too! Thus, adding to the great cocaine pile of life.

Do you believe the points he made are valid? You're probably the best goon to answer this, IMO. What's your take?

The fact that something like this could leak out would make CIG extremely paranoid (searching for moles inside etc).

Gary Oldman was also in the leaked SQ42 intro Level, as can be seen here 17secs in (Spoiler). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAz-vQ8MJZk There were quite some people speculating that it was simply a stand-in for him. But that stuff leaked mainly via 4Chan, surely someone cross-posting there. sorla78 fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Oct 6, 2015 |

One of the few REALLY hilarious things that ever happened in eve, DBRB would go to random people and offer to do "1 vs 1 Honorable Combat" duels and then pop a sino which would allow massive ships to warp in to that exact spot. Was always fun to see the poor guy start up the "duel" and get a few shots in, then try and run as the sino started to go off and he knew something big was coming. All of the sudden there would be 75+ goons swarming this one guy. They always made sure to kill the escape pod to boot, which was usually pretty mean.

Regarding this, a question. I remember that one of the stretch goals was to purchase/start a mocap studio for SC. If I remember correctly, CIG wanted to shoot sq42 in it. The bought the equipment, and leased a studio, right? Then they went to Imaginarium to shoot sq42. What happened to their own mocap studio

In typical DSmart fashion it was just a lot of noise and hot air. Not much new was released except that they supposedly have a super crazy expensive coffee machine. It was well written though, which is different. He calls the $90 mil public money. I don't think that's right. It's not public money in the same sense that taxes would be. Crowdfunding would be interesting if they had the same accountability as any organization which accepts govt/tax money.
