Yeah, but that's the only independently confirmed info he's given as far as I know, which he could have gotten in any of a number of ways.

Maybe I'm a credulous idiot, but one bit of info like that and I'm totally convinced.

remember when I said the plan is to drip feed all the cut features into new formats ? Have you noticed all the new formats ? Remember when some knob cheese on reddit said I was full of poo poo ? Remember when Ben called everyone 'Dinks'? .

Watch it all come crashing down on his head and wonder why any of us gave him money in the first place.
Waffflz: Mr Ben is an utterly tragic uber fanboy who has absolutley no say or direction in anything these fuckers do. They chose him because. 1) Loves Chris to the temple and back 2) Will not question anything 3) he looks like the typical customer .ie a fat . Wordy,beardy,clueless Lore geek.

TTerrible: No, because this poo poo changes on a daily loving basis .....dependent upon the Stipmorer's mood

SerCypher: Ben actually smells pretty good, like your car after a proper valet

Scruffpuff: Chris is still up for anything BUT we are talking 20222.... seriously, everything he has decreed will be in the game . Even if some fucker has to dig it up in a time capsule.

poo poo that leads back to Community Manager Ben Lesnick being poo poo in the past day:

- Chalks PM adventure featuring accusations of fraud
- Saying the Sabre is not a stealth fighter last night, despite it being sold as a stealth fighter.
- A sweet old man with cancer being chewed out by the insufferable SC community that Lesnick helped foster.
- Beer being able to post even for one minute on the RSI forums
- Backlash over Banu being nerfed, which isn't really his fault but can easily be pinned on him for 'failing to manage expectations'.

all in a days work fer benny lesnick.

AtV is going to be really informative today in a lot of ways if poo poo is exploding. Sandi isn't good enough at acting to hide that sort of thing.

And if there are internal devs pissed off at how the citizens abused that guy for posting an honest video, good. The idiots in charge need to see how the community / marketing efforts are loving up everything for them.

You know how stupid people project, and how all of the cultists think SA has downvote bots running on their sub? Remember how Dolvak was one of the people howling the loudest about the evil goons and their imgur report bot that specifically targeted this thread (???) because he was the one doing the reporting? Or look at some of the disproportionately upvoted comments in threads whinging about Dolvak's unwilling departure.

They absolutely have vote bots and dummy accounts they employ on /r/starcitizen. They're the only ones stupid, petty, and desperate enough to bother.
Seems like the new Dolvak, Jumbify is /r/starcitizens expert bot programmer: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3xj9uh/uee_central_computer_learned_newbie_helper_i_need/

Look, taking the piss out of Sandi for anything other than her wildass claims is weird and creepy, likewise is the concentration on Lesnick's weight by a bunch of largely anonymous BMI-busters. I've been called out on it, so should everyone else.
I don't call Ben out because he's fat, I call him out because he's an rear end in a top hat who happens to be fat. If his addiction was to alcohol instead of food I'd be mocking him for falling over drunk during AtV instead of for being a disgusting buttertroll who needs a crane to get up from the sofa.

Not quite what you were asking for but...

Tell use something that only an employee working at CIG would know. Something that will subsequently be shown to be true by an official CIG announcement. Preferably Something Awful.

You'd need to be careful to make sure it's something that's known by quite a few people inside CIG, so you couldn't be identified (obviously).

And although this thread is now only visible to paying members (I think), don't rely on that - An account doesn't cost much, and it would surprise me if CIG didn't have one or more sleepers watching everything from within.
