ps: What's there to look up about Alganon? I came. I built. I released. It is still going (even have it on Steam, did an expansion pack etc) on to this day. Clearly you haven't been paying attention.

It was more the way you got the publishing deal, and the various lawsuits that it generated as you shot your mouth off in public. It's all up on PACER.

Did you approach Chris about development on Star Citizen at all?

Re: Qualifications and the faking thereof;

I made my feelings known on the subject while discussing the 'degree', but here's why it's a real problem;

"The B.C. Court of Appeal has been told her degrees were obtained from "diploma mills" — fake academic credentials bought for a fee."

that is a lie, because even if you melt it the Idris still is in your log that is why they are able to unmelt it for you.

the one given to him probably is just the infinite supply of Idris-M that CIG got, I could no imagine how infinitely humongous their hangar could be to fit those infinite supply of JPEGs

I will use a sub-optimal machine so that the game will run in sweet sweet three seconds a frame, that way I can look right at Sandi's eyes once every minute and remember that JPEGs are limited and fleeting miracles that the open expansive persistent adjective adjective world of star citizen offers us all

Make beanies, auction them off, and donate the money to a charity that would drive the Citizens insane. That'd be a pretty funny thing to do since they outright refuse to support charities or some dumb poo poo each time it's brought up.

One of the CCP devs knitted a few with various EVE pirate faction logos on it, like the one below, and CCP auctioned it off for PLEX (in-game GTC) during the PLEX For Good charity drive they did. Each PLEX was worth 1 billion ISK in-game, which is ~$15 to $20 and CCP matched each one for IRL donation to the Icelandic Red Cross. If I remember correctly, the auction reached over $1k USD and went to the Typhoon Haiyan relief effort.



This is good. I shall auction off jpegs of knitted hats and buy a Porsche.

Both are ways of stabbing cloth and imprisoning it together what's the big deal, you do the loop de loops the same and the really big stabs where you're like 'Take that you idiot scrap of a bundle' all the same too. I swear, the sewing community is filled with diatribe against people who want to see all kinds of features in our regular family cloth binding sessions, I bought a ball of yarn that, well, in my wife's word's, 'dominates' the living room, but bind-day is important and I invested in an open source pattern sharing group that is enriching my understanding of what it means to be a cloth stabber

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.



They backed down, likely because we were talking about it, Derek Smart learnt about it. Pushing it would likely have resulted in zero additional money plus a whale and his friend losing faith and maybe losing more money though chargebacks/refunds.

I love the idea that it took them ages to figure out what hundreds of people were doing in 2013 by LTI laundering, mind you it's possible it's true as the CIG community staff is all new and gifting/melting/buying with credit to get LTI, regifting was dumb as hell even by normal Star Citizen standards of dumb.
