That is very important if it comes to my work as an auditor and how I evaluate data and to the casa DS vs. SC: Normally to analyse a (scientific) publication, a statement, contract or anything else written I copy it over to MSword and perform the following process: First I delete every filler sentence and every personal statement. Like: “I am Derek Smart”, or “this is all bullshit”. Then I mark all the data which is stated as a fact but without any proof or real strong evidence provided by the author. I also use a different colour for info that could be proofed if the corresponding source and raw data would be provided.

Nyeehg posted:It's not a space sim but the Conlang (constructed language) Hymmnos was created for the Ar Tonellico game series back in 2006. There are probably other Conlangs that can be found in games but I don't know of them. At the very least, Star Citizen isn't the first game to feature a Conlang Hymnos is such a loving cool language because the producer of the series was probably both a huge spoken and computer language fan that he decided to mix both into one. And it took like 4+ years to get to the point where they could use hymnos for most of the song instead of japanese with a few chorus in hymnos. The differrences between the first game and EXEC_FLIP_ARPHAGE is massive. We haven't even seen a shred of the conlags for SC yet and I seriously doubt they've hired anyone to get started.

Mirificus posted:Star Citizens found a German article to their liking. TLDR of True Believers' daily digest: 1. If the game was to be released in current state it should already win awards for best space sim ever made, just based on the current modules. There are no more additions needed. 2. The game is NOT in alpha yet. 3. The evil PC gaming media cabal is trying to take down CIG through underhanded and illegal means. Rad Russian fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Jan 2, 2016 |

A Neurotic Jew posted:^ I wanted to make a joke like "It would definitely win an award for 'Best Unfinished Crowd-Funded Space Sim' if an award like that existed!" But then I realized it wouldn't actually win that award. You'd have to get ludicrously specific to make an award where Star Citizen was even competitive with Elite. Best space sim? Best crowd-funded space sim? Best crowd-funded space sim with MMO and Single-Player elements? Best crowd-funded space sim with MMO and single-player elements with a tacked-on multiplayer dogfighting arena? Nope, still Elite.

EightAce posted:I have it on good authority that certain people have been looked after up front via the dodgy ' sell back shares to CIG ' It sounds like you are saying certain insider shareholders have been cashed out at a premium. Yet was backer money used for these transactions, or has a third party bought in so that insiders may be bought out? Bootcha was made whole on his investment-- but it doesn't sound like he profited financially beyond some exit price agreed upon prior to the crowdfunding explosion. That seems appropriate and fair. Yet if certain insiders are being allowed to greatly profit-- if their shares are being taken out at some multiple of a buy-in price, then how is the enterprise being valued? It appears to be a company with precious little in true revenues and one with a metric crap ton of liabilities. If the company truly is approaching their long predicted implosion-- then it seems like we'd see a whale-backed class action lawsuit. These cash out transactions are likely to be subject to scrutiny and would, in my uninformed opinion, be deemed fraudulent and subject to clawback. This all makes Sandi's recent comments-- echoed in refund denial letters-- that CIG has delivered a substantial part of the promised game pretty telling. Taken alongside Sandi's earlier comments about her eagerness to re-pursue her acting dream because "I never really got a shot at it"-- well, it paints a provocative picture. A bit like that of a stewardess putting on her parachute at 30,000 feet while she keeps taking drink orders from the drunkards in first class.

G0RF posted:*snip* I'm not exactly following all this talk, but a thought does occur to me, put as simply as I can in my layman's terms. Is it possible they recently stopped all refunds from the regular whales, so as they could hold as much money from their 'donations' (since they are simply donators and not actual investors legally speaking), so that they can buy off all of the actual investors they have with them before the whole shithouse goes up in flames? Since if they manage that, then they pretty much avoid any kind of legal action against them - in fact, they can keep the illusion going for as long as it takes the whales to catch on at long last as to how much extra cash they can get away with to fund CR & Sandi's Hollywood dreams. Naturally, when it all goes down in flames they'll do some handwaving and excuses about 'downsizing' ect. and the whales will prolly still lap that poo poo up and donate more, then use some of their creative accounting to funnel it towards their Hollywood projects. But the only way I could see them pulling that off would be if they settled everything with all of their legitimate investors beforhand, thus exempting themselves from any legitimate legal action against them. After all, no judge is gonna give a poo poo about the autists pledging for their autism chariots complaining about their 'investments', but they very well might for legit investors with contracts crying that they got duped.

KiddieGrinder posted:Second reply from him is great too. In order to avoid the unrealistic scenario of a new pilot being put in charge of fully armed space ships, he creating a back story involving an orphan child being given fully armed space ships by their mum and dad in their will. "And to little Timmy who we gave up for adoption and have never seen since, we leave or fleet of star destroyers" Well I'm glad we've got that plot hole well and truly sorted. Phew, for a minute I thought it wouldn't be believable! It's no wonder these people think CR is some sort of genius story teller if their own attempts at character back stories are the sort of thing you might see scribbled in the back of a 6-year-old's diary. CR can basically do no wrong pitted against this calibre of imagination.

The thing that pisses me off the most about Star Citizen is not the fact thait might be a scam, may never exists and it may be impossible to create. What pisses me off most are the cringey pussified carebears begging for a PvE game, "please don't put the best loot in lawless areas", "please don't make me do PvP", "please don't allow griefers to exist", "I don't want to have to use my brain to defend myself", "I don't want lose my ship". I loving hate these little cock suckers, a new MMORPG gets announced and they flood into the community from WoW, GW2, SWTOR and highsec... Demanding that the game be REdesigned in favour of their own pussified playstyle due to their false sense of entitlement to not be repeatedly smashed to loving pieces in-game.

Rad Russian posted:"NOT A SCAM! HE'S JUST INCOMPETENT!" does not explain spending $200,000 of backer money on designer furniture or prime beach front studio locations. If he was truly scrambling to create his dream he wouldn't be swindling backers on stupid excess that has nothing to do with the game.

I think the allegation is more that they setup a bunch of private companies with the individuals they wanted to profit as shareholders. Then had CIG buy out these individuals transferring large lumps sums of cash to the individuals and company ownership to CIG. I've no idea if that happened or what the actual laws are about this stuff are. I guess if a private company wants to pay an absurd amount of money for the shares in another private company they can. Private companies get run into the ground all the time by dumb spending. It's only when you are dealing with outside money you have to be accountable, think outside investors, insurers and credit. If it's just your money on the line you can waste it on whatever you want. It doesn't look like CIG do any planning for failure so if it all goes wrong it might expose dodgy financial dealings that land some in trouble. On the other hand you have to remember the idea a bunch of individuals would give a private company over 100 million is absurd, so the law might not work. Could be it all ends up in a way most would say is morally wrong let no laws were broken.
