Yes-- I understand that and I recall Derek's counter that lies about cash were being circulated internally at CIG. But what if Derek's source is misinformed not EightAce's?

I still feel like we'd see a host of telltale warning signs if they were in a nose dive. I can't shake that feeling-- and we are watching them incredibly closely. Why aren't there more sirens going off?

I know the weakness here is that I'm assuming the principals to be somewhat rational actors, which may be erroneous.

I'm assuming Sandi is not so COMPLETELY out of touch with reality that she'd really join her community team in recording a green screen video that is the equivalent of fiddling while Rome burns if Rome was, in fact, burning.

I'm assuming Chris and especially Erin wouldn't go on record talking up the amazing things around the bend when SQ42 releases and the PTU gets a couple more revisions. I mean Chris has hardly ever been more hubristic than he was in the latest subscriber edition with his Rockstar comments. They don't talk like people soon to lose everything, become complete gaming pariahs, targets of lawsuits and unstable fans, and subjected to the most merciless journalistic grave dancing and schaudenfraude since Ion Storm.

They talk like everything is progressing according to plan-- like they believe it.

Wednesday may be a gamechanger, and the titanic may have hit the iceberg... But in the interest of avoidimg disappointment, I'm just going to subscribe to a steady state theory, not the Big Crunch. That way if I'm wrong, I'll be laughing-- not signing and shaking my head.

You posted exactly that a week ago.

Between you, and the idiots who only come to the thread to complain about you, this thread could cut a lot of posts and be none the worse for it

If they're that close, why aren't we seeing more sales and other desperate bids for additional income? Or are they seeking investors on the down low now to give the outward appearance of health?

Some clutter in the thread is defensible I think

I don't know a whole lot about frameworks, but I'd think a wordpress thingie would make sense

Serious post Derek:

Your credibility is not as high as it once was, after you trolled the thread for days and are now claiming puppet master status.

Obviously you know something we don't, but CIG seems to be acting as if everything is normal and business as usual. I mean they're still hiring people and making mouse pads sized for literal whales. Chris Roberts doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who keeps real cool under fire, he can't even hold back from spontaneously adding features when asked questions by his fans. He would be panicking and making all kinds of changes imo if money was running out.

In the interest of not cluttering up the thread with lots of replies, I'd invite people to PM me directly with your thoughts on all of the above, rather than just replying here. I know it's a big old data dump and disruptive to the flow. I wouldn't have written it had Derek not specifically endorsed me for the new OP.

I am on p2788.

When I get to the current last page (2798) that I am on now, for every loving Ryan Archer post that I see, I won't post for 1 day. e.g. if I see 10 posts after p2798, that's 10 days that I won't post.

And when I do come back, I will start reading from page count + number of days. Which means that every thing that came before, I will neither read, nor respond to.

So yeah, you loving idiots need to stop with this Ryan Archer poo poo and go create another thread for it.

That is all.

Mistake #2: Assuming that I give a poo poo what anyone thinks

Mistake #4: Thinking that I give a poo poo about one or two people feeling salty because they weren't in on the joke. That despite the fact that these are people posting on the likes of SA....and complaining about the quality of post content
