There's No Limit To What We Can't Accomplish



AP posted:

Brazilian whale that went mad over Star Citizen not intending to ban teamspeak or something stupid. The issue of what he went crazy over doesn't really matter, he started questioning things and was directly emailing Sandi in a conversation that went bad (any of this sounding familiar?).

I think they attempted to blacken his name over "omg females in danger" and that really pushed him off the deep end, any old star citizen media piece has him ranting with way too many words and several different alt accounts, this is all well before Derek Smart got involved.

I'm utterly ignorant of how businesses work, does CIG have to provide lists of their hundreds of employees and contractors?

Are there definitely 100s of real people all actually doing things and Chris is actually this amazing at stifling productivity across multiple continents?

Could it be like an episode of Swedish Sopranos where they hire temps to come sit in front of computers with ship design wallpapers on the days BBC or PCGamer visit?

The honchos in their meatball restaurant discussing who gets how many no-show Foundry 42 jobs and who has to go sit in lawn chairs for the no-work jobs.

They are a private company. Besides properly filling their taxes they don't have to show poo poo to nobody.

In the RSI forums, I noticed Tarkaroshe tends to only go after the weakest arguments and avoid posters like TommyNoble like the plague. The recent Star Marine threads were a great example of that tendency.

They're also quite paranoid about SA and Derek Smart.
