That's pretty much a given at this point. What I don't understand is why he pitched this MMO crap instead of going on Kickstarter and saying "I'm Chris Roberts, the guy who made the Wing Commander series and some other cool games you loved. I'd like to make another one like them using modern technology. I think it'd be pretty drat awesome, and if you do to, kick in some money and we'll try and make the best spiritual sequel to Wing Commander possible." People fall over themselves to back old developers with poo poo franchises all the time. If the guy who made Clock Tower can get money to make another running away simulator, I'm sure Roberts could have raised the funds for another FMV masterpiece without making up this Star Citizen crap.

I'm just really hoping I'm not meta-trolling another meta-troll. He appeared genuinely sure the Starfarer would be coming soon (and at some point, he'll eventually be right.)

I need to refine my POV though. I ended up arguing against 1st/3rd person animation system fidelity when a true sperg would defend that costly, time-consuming, pointlessly perfectionist design decision to the death...

I'll do better next time.

Agreed.

One of the worst parts of Ben's job seems to be committing 100% to the defense of Sandi, regardless of the circumstances. Since she values Loyalty and Obedience above any other virtues, that is the surest path to remaining in her good graces.

Or, more accurately rendered, 'avoiding her bad tempers'.

People say it's mean that "lol ben is fat" has become a running joke in this thread but apparently it's a running joke in their office too so I guess that puts things in perspective a bit.

Today I found out that middle-clicking in E:D gives me the ability to look around the cockpit and I saw that my character moved the throttle when I did. I was immediately so immersed by the fact that I was controlling a character controlling my space ship that I had to trigger the PVP slider and go into Solo Play for a while lest my fragile psyche be shattered by trolls.




Also lol at the fact that the pebble that started the landslide of discontent was because you aren't going to have a shoot mans game in your pew pew spaceship sim.

Oh wow.

2-3 months ago I sent some guy a PM saying that they should consider getting a charge back from their bank since they were going through hard times and they had been refused a refund.

Yesterday I made some posts criticising the game and Sandi, the first posts I've made on the forums.

Today I'm permabanned for the PM I sent.

These guys literally go through your PMs if you're a critic of the game to look for any excuse to ban you. Holy poo poo.

Duke of Goa is a fascinating case study. He is a classic SC whale. I don't have the time or patience to look through his posting history but, back when I was a backer and believer and owned only a Cutlass (for those Goons unaware of it the Cutlass is probably the single most shitted upon ship in their panoply) he came into the RSI cutlass thread and relentlessly trolled/attacked us for NOT believing in CIG... and their Vision. The change seen in Mirificus various posts where he has been screen-capped are, for me at least, an insight into the cult believer who has begun to doubt. By his own admission he is now $6 grand in the hole, and his posts have gone from passive aggressive to full on "WTF?" I suspect that at some point in the near future he will be temp/permabanned for some ridiculous or imaginary rule infraction. If that happens we should invite him to vent here because the fireworks would be deeply entertaining. I find that I cant feel too sorry for idiots like him who have invested so drat much in Crobbles inane vision, but I can feel some small degree of sympathy for him as a victim of his own idiocy.

At least that's what "I" think...
