My Issue With Sandi

Since everyone keeps bringing this up, let me address it in clear detail for the record and archiving purposes.

My issue with Sandi boils down to this:

===
1. she led the charge against me in July based on my blog and for which I was banned, my account refunded etc. I know this to be a fact.

twitlonger.com/show/n_1sniofq

2. The way she treats contractors/employees on the project. this was also on clear display in the email exchange with Beer. aside from what was mentioned in The Escapist articles.

3. The fact that she continues to distort the facts about this project, while taking credit for it's "success" (so far, it's only financially successful, the project is a mess and in shambles) at every opportunity.

4. The fact that, as head of management, she has the authority to grant no-questions-asked refunds to those who ask for it and who want OUT of this project due to the FAILED promises and LIES they have been telling. Instead, they have refused to do this, despite the fact that they have FAILED to deliver the project on Nov 2014 as promised.
===

That's the gist of it and I have made it clear on numerous occasions.

She is an exec (credited as co-founder) of a $105M crowd-funded project and as a PUBLIC FIGURE is 100% held to the same standards of accountability as Chris Roberts, and their partner Ortwin. If she were a guy, not married to Chris etc, NONE of this would have changed my actions.

Beer's email exchange with her opened up the issue of her credentials again due to her claiming to be the most formerly qualified than anyone else at the company.

http://imgur.com/a/BIlWu

I was very vocal about this in a recent Open House stream because I was pissed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znR3JvQJPMc&feature=youtu.be&t=3h5m

As far as we now know, not only does she NOT possess one MBA, let alone two, it's highly unlikely that she even has an undergraduate degree in business management. Prior to Star Citizen, she was an aspiring actress and intern at Chris's failed Ascendant Pictures studio where they met, married, divorced, re-married. Nothing to do with business management, let alone the videogame business. There are NO records of her ANYWHERE on planet Earth, as having held ANY management position, let alone one in business that is befitting someone with an MBA.

And when someone else decided to confirm that she was in fact married to Chris Roberts - something they not only actively denied but kept hidden until I made it public, Chris wrote a lengthy diatribe that they had been doxed. Which was just another attempt at obfuscating the truth and drawing attention away from on-going questions about their handling of this project.

http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1snimul

As I noted in my blogs, since my investigations into the project started in July, she has been caught posting bogus credentials in LinkedIn. Leading to her subsequently removing no less than FOUR such profiles. Each time she updated it and added lies, I write about it. She then removes it. We have all the archived images. As of today, she still doesn't have a LinkedIn profile. But she still has Facebook, Twitter and IMDb profile pages.

In August, she posted this image purported to be from her graduation. Problem is, neither of the two Australian colleges have any records of her. So the speculation is that, since she is a model/actress, that these may very well be stock images. Nobody has seen it fit to actually ask her for details (name of university, date of graduation etc - all the contentious issues).

https://archive.is/ercCU

Prior to that she posted this Dean's letter and also claims to have an MBA. Suspiciously enough, the whole thing wasn't posted. So there is no way to see the header section of the top in order to determine authenticity.

http://archive.is/lvyUS

None of the Shitizens saw it fit to question any of this.

In this interview, she claims to have gone to graduate school. Again, not mentioning which one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbF8cWOLwEI&feature=youtu.be&t=1m32s

Here, she claims that she a) went to UCLA and got a degree there b) she has two business degrees (one from UCLA and the other from Australia - both proven to be false.

FF to 18:45

http://goo.gl/gSL9Rx

They since removed the original link above when it appeared in my blog. But like everything else, we archived it. Here is a copy.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4497650/Sunnys_Diner_Show_3k13.mp3

Here she claimed to have a Masters degree. The video has since been pulled. We have it saved somewhere as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRJzUkj5ItQ&feature=youtu.be&t=51

Here is another UCLA claim to an MBA. It's bollocks. We checked.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRE2BBQR4tc&feature=youtu.be&t=30m23s

Here, even before my campaign started in July, people were already questioning her credentials.

https://m.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/22r2g5/a_letter_to_chris_roberts/?sort=controversial

So that's basically the gist of it, in a nutshell.

X-wing also had a button that turned off the cockpit for dogfighting. It left the radar circles on though so you could maintain situational awareness.

Someone has already said this but you seemed to have missed it. Not much happens in SC land, they release poo poo at a snails pace, its most likely going to take most of the year before they get around to releasing anything more.

Oh I know. The 'doing something right' is not because I believe they are, quiet the opposite actually. I pay very close attention to what they do/don't do.

I guess it's on me that the sarcasm of that statement was lost, since spoke clearly think in was making the case they have been doing well. They're not.

Why does the rift need 2x the processing power? Couldn't you just have the left eye monitor take a photo of what the right eye is seeing and display it at the same time (or fast enough to not notice) or is our eyeline that offset that you need two slightly different views? Couldn't you trick the brain? I assume they thought of this, but it seems simple enough!

Either way we wouldn't have to fat shame him anymore. So everyone wins!

General Anesthetic looked up from his desk. The victim lay stretched out before him on a cold surgical table, chained in place with pain chains. Chains, but with added pain. The victim screamed in agony as the chains hissed with pain.

The General stood, silently, walked to a small enclosure rimmed with green light and a pocked, bloody surface. The green light was painful, burning with acidic haze, and hurt his eyes, nose and throat when he reached inside. The General liked this searing light, and used it in his bedside table at night when he read about surgery on restrained animals and also in his fridge. When he went downstairs on his razorblade stairs and reached for his milk, OH THE PAIN OF THE GREEN ACID LIGHT. It made him smile.

He pulled out a black leather bag of steel instruments. The bag was rigged with 5000 mini probes that hit his arm with 1,000,000 volts of electricity. The pain was stupefying. General Anesthetic winced... it was time. The victim squirmed as the General walked over across the broken glass that his office floor was made of. He wasn't wearing shoes! THE PAIN!!! It was amplified by the bullet ants that lived in the glass and bit at his feet and gorged themselves on his PAIN.

He stood over the helpless citizen whose crimes he did not know. He slapped the shaking woman and said his favorite thing in the universe:

"Don't worry... you're having surgery.. with GENERAL ANESTHETIC!!!!" She screamed, and he laughed as his overly tightened braces glinted... turning his teeth slowly inward almost pointing at his uvula... which was pierced with a cattle prod!!
