Just posting this so everyone knows what is and is not fair game when it comes to this piece of poo poo.

Looking forward to someone posting the contact details for this person's entire family so we can all write them polite emails and totally not step over any lines what so ever.

*edit* ^^ this is sarcasm, doing this would obviously step over the line despite Matilda's assertions that it's all totally fine, because Matilda is a massive hypocrite.

Nobody has contacted Chris and Sandi's kids. Aren't they like really young in any case?

My guess is this all stemmed from a time when someone linked a pre-kickstarter video that showed Sandi, Chris and the kids... or linked to her IMDB page that also had a pic the same. Then in Karl's insane mind, this has developed into "OMG THEY HARASSED AND STALKED THEIR KIDS".

I've never heard anything about the insurance value degrading over time. As far as I know, all the comments about ship wear and tear were in regards to some graphical doodads they wanted to implement so that not every ship looked pristine. I could be wrong.

Your probably right. I know I read something about it on reddit..probably from fan speculation. You know how it is, the premise is so asinine you don't know whether it is real or not. With this game I've come to the conclusion to accept everything as real.

As usual, a simple mechanism has far reaching implications because nothing is thought through to its conclusion in this debacle. So hey, my Herald is banged up. I'll just ram it into an asteroid and get a shiny new one.

So how to prevent that? We going to have space deductibles? High risk policies? Will I need uninsured motorist? Space adjusters?

If someone did that who is against CIG in any way then it must be a goon = everyone at SA is ok with posting Chris Roberts' kids. Their logic is impeccable.

Yeah, agreed. Like I get it. The irony would be fantastic. "Oh so you think it's cool to email D_Smart's family? Well then you won't mind if we email yours blah blah blah" but it's unnecessary. Rich Homie Karl is wrong, and I don't feel the need to prove it by being equally wrong.

Croberts just says "yes" to any feature suggested to him. Maybe he'll smell an opportunity to sell an insurance agent's ship with a built-in copy of Open Office that lets you adjust interest rates and do CIG's accounting while you fly around.

I think at this point literally nothing will convince the SC redditors that goons are anything more than a collective organization who's purpose is to destroy the game.

I always get a chuckle out of the news van. How many mishaps can occur in a 16 player instance? Oh wait, several, due to clipping and various other bugs in the Verse that needs recorded.

another question, what's the point of LTI?

Like if I'm pooting around in the PU (ha) and some goon crashes into my $500 jpeg-class spergvessel and writes it off, am i just SOL unless I have insurance?

Yup!

The extra good part is that the LTI only covers the base ship and lovely starter gear, which Chris has described as being generally a "2-3 on a scale of 1-10" in terms of quality/power. So if you have an amazing cannon of nerdpwnage that gets blown up, you won't get that back, you'll get a new ship loaded with popguns.

~The plan~ is that of course you can also buy insurance ingame with ingame credits to also cover your items and or cargo, but, in the evil pvp areas or other highest risk zones it just won't work.

This is probably one of the most consistently ignored things by the typical SC whale backer.

It is always something notable about Karl is he can't see his own actions in a vacuum. He can't look at what he is actually doing as an individual and see how awful he is acting because it is always justifiable because of this and that. 'I'm not being awful because other people were awful before me!'.

Since you are reading. If you specifically make an internet hate group for the soul purpose of being spiteful and evil towards an individual, it doesn't matter if it is Hitler, you are being a massive loving weird dick.

Dear Madam,

I must regretfully inform you your husband disagreed with me about a video game. I normally wouldn't bother you with something like this, but it was on the internet you see, so I think you'll agree was a grievous transgression of my human rights. I'm not expecting any action from you, I just thought you'd like to know the kind of man you're married to.

Yours in Pain, Matilda.

Hello Mrs Smart,

You don't know me - yet - because I'm from the internet, but I deal with your husband, Derek's, lies and misinformation on a weekly basis regarding an important video-game called Star Citizen. During his campaign against this video game he linked to an IMDB page written by one of its creators, Sandi Gardiner, on which she had written candidly about her husband and children. Now, I can appreciate that you, as a womanly wife, can appreciate how invasive and inappropriate this was on his part to take something that she herself had put on the internet and mention that this information was totally on the internet - not just "on the internet" where you have to google a whole bunch of things to piece together the information - but all directly accessible in the one place you'd look for Sandi Gardiner of Squadron 42 fame. Anyway, I'm starting to ramble a bit, so the purpose of this email was to see if you could put your arms around Derek and give him a squeeze, then write back to me describing how good it felt and what he smells like.

Thanks in advance


ps: tell him to finish whatever that thing Beer has been going on about for two weeks.

Dear Mrs Smart.

I'm writing this letter because Derek has been a very naughty boy on the internet and has made a lot of autistic people cry by laughing at their computer game. This is not on. It really isn't. I mean it. If it doesn't stop, I'm going to have to write an even stronger letter.

Yours sincerely,

Karl
