The secret wait list is open again, any citizen reading this you can buy an Idris M if you email support and then sell it for $1k profit on the black market, but you better be fast because the word is going to leak out. As some idiot is going to talk about it.

You might be able to get one of those 2012 never to be sold again scythes too, possibly make $700 or so on that.

CIG isn't going to care, someone melted the original ones right? There's no way they'd lie about that just to make $1k Idris M sales right? If they refuse you the first time, keep trying.

CRobber got fed up with the complaints that it's just WWII in space, so he decided it should be the Napoleonic Wars in space instead.

I would actually probably maybe play a game with that setting

I still love the concept that CIG pushes that they can "run out" of JPEGS, but if you get lucky and somebody else melts their JPEG it frees up stock and they are able to sell one again. Like when you melt a JPEG it magically travels through the intertubes, passes through the smegma on the servers, and then ends up sitting in a warehouse waiting for the next lucky citizen to pick it up.

Well yeah.
JPEGs of this quality use up a whole lot of processing force when you compress them. If you hand it back and decompress them, you get that processing force back and can apply it to a new JPEG. I mean, technically, you could just keep using new processing force but think of the costs this would create for CIG. In an effort to not waste backer money, they only recycle the limited processing force pool that went into the first batch of JPEGs, and you don't want them to run out of money because they have to buy new ones all the time, now do you?

Hey, what happened with that guy who was going to have to either melt one of his jpegs or pay like $400 dollars for it because some other guy did a chargeback? I'm not sure if we ever got closure on that story.

To this day my favorite part of the Stimpire short story is the reuse of "sickening" in the sickening closing sentence sickening.

The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.

Just sickening.
