Course they do, did no one see the flowers that F42 's old CS team bought for her, at citcon, just before they we're fired...... Ooops, I mean that the backers bought her the backers

Thanks for all the information shared by you. Please take caution as to what you release so that they cannot trace you back. :) I was just wondering we had this old imgur link where someone gathered some concept art from Jon Dickenson as to how some of the Vanduul ships should look like.
Is that stuff still re presentable or have they moved away from it? https://imgur.com/a/bLXes

Also do you happen to know why artists like Andrew Ley and Edon Guraziu left the project? And what were the reasons that the whole character art team decided to leave? Do you also have any information as to how David Jennison's letter was received among staff at Foundry 42?
Do you have any insights into Foundry 42 in Germany? When Erasmus Brosdau and Riham Toulan left the team there, they were hinting at issues with people in charge being to submissive to impossible direction in social media, do you know anything about that? Also what happened to that Art Director Lance Powell, that was featured quite prominently in ATV etc, that suddenly vanished?

Have to mention the stimperor.
He is indicative of about 20% of the backers. Quite frankly they are terrifying. There are a disproportionate amount of German and eastern European guys who would happily kill to protect SC, they even worry Chris. How many photo's have you seen of a clearly uncomfortable Crobber at various events with his arm around some guy dressed as an Isis fighter.
The dev staff are genuinely scared of these physcos.
Now imagine being in the verse with these fanatics......

Yes. I can answer all those questions but you will have to wait for the book. I am currently working on a JPEG of the book and whatever you'd like to know about and I mean anything , will be implemented via stretch goals.

The book may not contain the promised information but I will probably change the TOS a few times....

In fact the book probably won't ever see the light of day but I will use your donation to pay for a very very very fat nerd and a skeleton in drag, to tell you what might be in the book by way of a weekly show....

You know what, gently caress it I'm just going to make a movie about it

When Chris was showing off procedural planets someone asked him if there would be birds. Chris said yes of course there would be birds. So it's become a funny emblem for ridiculous scope creep and Chris' desire to tell backers whatever they want to hear

If Sandi really was in the middle of a resignation speech...
...and it was interrupted by a surprise gift of flowers...
...paid for out of F42 Customer Support petty cash...
...motivated by their own good will and compassion...
...which thwarted the planned resignation speech...
...and gave Sandi the will to keep up the good fight...
...and in turn set the conditions for her to return to the UK...
...right as the Beer email catastrophe was exploding...
...and then go absolutely psycho on the very same group who inadvertently thwarted her resignation with flowers then I would truly go :vince:.
