TO: Cloud Imperium Games
FROM: Something Awful
SUBJECT: The tale of Jeffrey McArthur
PRIORITY: High


An agreeable older gamer named Jeffrey McArthur tried Star Citizen's Free Flight weekend a couple of weeks ago, having no knowledge whatsoever of of this particular game. He is an avid gamer - online games, tabletop games, D&D games - he has spent decades playing them and loving them. In fact, as a younger man, he actually programmed two titles for the Atari 800; a serviceable Defender clone called Kamikaze. and sillier overhead maze runner called Icky Squishy.
And you shitizens bitch about us being big meanies to you? gently caress you! It's not so fun when the people you gently caress with can actually fight back, is it you degenerate fucks?

And while we're at it...

The Protocols of the Elders of Goonism

I get a lot of PMs about this, so I think it might be a good idea to put this in the thread.

As you all know, we have worked on our battle plan to fight the threat from Star Citizen, which if unchecked might dissuade people from buying our game of games, Derek Smart's Line of Defense. Our current strategy focuses on a two-pronged assault of trollism and mockery. Mockery is not easily taught, but trollism is more of a craft - this might serve to increase the return on trolling for those new to the trade.

Trolling
You might be excused for believing that we focus on a :goon: of negative users on Reddit - openly or lightly veiled goons. This is in fact just a fraction of our current efforts. To understand how to troll successfully and with a high amount of toxicism-per-troll, you will first have to understand how the Citizen mind works and how to convincingly act as one.

Citizens can be easily divided into four groups, based on their professed and actual level expectations on the game.

AP posted:

Tijuana Bibliophile edit that out, wrong thread.

gently caress this "wrong thread" nonsense. I'm sick and tired of this stupid platinum elitism, you people demand that I only recruit people among the platinums for "security reasons" but the problem is that most people that come to me seemingly just want to be in, they want to know what's up but then don't actually put any work. That in turn makes me feel like I am wasting my time going over the trouble to explain everything to "recruits" that then turn out to be unsuitable. Moreover the reality is that there just aren't that many platinums and we need to enlarge our recruitment pool.
I know you voted me down on this but you know what, gently caress you. If you don't like it get someone else to do my work, I'm done wasting my time with people that aren't committed. I need people that have already done their homework before volunteering so I'm just gonna go over the basics of what people need if they are serious about joining the war effort in anything other than the most basic shitposting.

As an olive branch I've been talking with Mr. Smart and he generously agreed gift anyone doing a 3 month deployment with free platinum. This is not a "payment", it's simply a token of Mr. Smart's appreciation.

So, without further ado:



:siren: OPERATION FULL BURN: How to become a Stimstaffel Commando :siren:





I am not going to give any insight into the overall strategy until you have showed your work and are ready to become active, after you get your platinum we will go into details and what your role will be. I can assure you this work will not be in vain, you will play an important role in our final victory. In this post I'm just going to detail what you need to volunteer, the only thing I will say is that our goal is nothing less than the complete ruination of /r/starcitizen by destroying the community and/or the moderation team.

This is going to be a looooong 2016 and CIG has nothing to show. The Stimstaffel has already showed it's might with the resignation of Dolvak, we ask you to put some effort into your trolling but unlike CIG we actually deliver, as you can see. What we need for Phase 2 of Operation Full Burn is accounts a few weeks old and with decent karma. Sooner or later they are going to start cracking down on posting privileges and the first obvious go to is karma and register date as a means to filter out obvious goons from even starting new threads. Fresh negative karma accounts are all good for the trivial shitposter but soon they'll start banning those even for commenting on threads so a serious commando and actually help destroy the Star Citizen reddit community you are going to need multiple credible accounts.

Do not contact me unless you have already completed these tasks, showing yourself incapable of following basic instructions makes a terrible first impression.

    1- You need Tor Browser. When the ban hammer comes down this is the only way to keep posting on the sub, otherwise all your alts will be banned by Reddit for avoiding the ban. Getting RES is useful, it allows you to tag people and keep track of your targets, that way you navigate in Chrome and post from you Tor Browser alts. Do not forget to always use the option "New Identity" in Tor Browser after you log out of one account and before logging into another.

    2- Create at least half a dozen accounts with the following requirements:

      2.1- Do not chose a "clever" name.

      2.2- Use something like 10 Minute Mail to validate your new accounts, it gives them extra credibility.

      2.3- your first thread should be asking some complete newbie questions about the game. Go back 2 or 3 weeks on the sub and reword one of the many threads like this that pop up all the time. You are trying to come off as someone making their first inquiries, don't show too much knowledge but don't be retarded.
      :siren: DO NOT BE SMART. Do not insert oh so clever and obscure goonisms, loving pretend to be human for a while. Do not touch anything remotely polemic. Don't ask inconvenient questions.

      2.4- your second thread should come after a few days and be something like "I can't decide which ship/package to buy". You are creating a persona as indistinguishable as possible from any real newcomer to the game.
      :siren: DO NOT BE SMART. Do not insert oh so clever and obscure goonisms, loving pretend to be human for a while. Do not touch anything remotely polemic. Don't ask inconvenient questions.

      2.5- For now the karma goal is somewhere around 20s/30s, your threads and whatever comments you made should have earned you enough already but if not make some more posts of an inquisitive but positive nature. :siren: Do not touch anything remotely polemic. Don't ask inconvenient questions. Do the bare minimum to get that karma and STOP.

      2.6- Once you reached your karma goal let the account mature. When it reaches 3 or 4 weeks its ready.


Remember thanks to Derek (PBUH) :worship: SERVICE GUARANTEES PLATINUM :siren:

Someone should remind those morons that bank fraud isn't related to chargebacks.

Bank fraud (and this applies to other financial institutions) is pretending to be a bank or illegally getting poo poo (money/property/etc) owned by a bank. This is individual(s) hurting individuals or banks, respectively.

Chargeback fraud is probably what they mean, but that's when you receive something and then do a chargeback on it. This is individual(s) hurting merchants via bank action.

I like how by doing this CIG has confirmed that they do not care that dickwulf sent dick pics to that girl, or at the very least did not care enough to check his PMs

So either they ignored it or think suggesting a legal chargeback is worse than sexually harassing someone
It's clear now that they will look the other way as long as you're giving them money, but if they think that you negatively affect their cash flow then you're persona non grata.

This is some straight up immoral poo poo.

But then again, I know nothing about SQL

I know far too much about many flavours of SQL, and it is a pit of horrors.

Worst thing is that when faced with its superficial simplicity, many developers (and not even comedy 'developers' like Lesnick) think something like my example is fine.

But if you want to learn, you could do a lot worse worse for two things not to do than never "SELECT *" in production, and never use a leading '%' (a wildcard which matches anything) unless you really know what you are doing.
