moveable shape posted:Hey Smart what about that David Jenneson (or whoever) letter about how hosed CIGs character art process is? Seems like that guy got kinda hosed over what with his name being attached to that - I don't remember if you were the source of that or the one that named him. Just curious because man that letter was good and rang true big time A source pointed out the letter which David had posted in a Facebook group. It then got propagated on Reddit. I wrote a blog, and included it because it happened during the time I was still working on that blog. Then of course, since it appeared in my blog, it got widespread. Since everyone was flocking to my blog, David reached out to me and explained that he never intended for it to be made public and asked me to remove it. So I did. But ofc the damage was already done since it was already elsewhere on the Internet. Up to the point at which he contacted me, I didn't know who David was. And I've had no further contact with him since then. You've all seen EXACTLY what David said in that letter, playing out with the project.

D_Smart posted:And when the E.L.E does happen, as shocked as some will be, you all would have missed everything leading up to it. Derek, I'm gonna be honest. As it currently stands nobody except perhaps Loiosh ('cause he's a nice guy) is going to believe you predicted any sort of E.L.E. event. The reason behind this is that you have not predicted poo poo: anything big that happens could be the E.L.E, anything! And as soon as it happens you'll jump into the thread and say "told you so!" and then we'll say "bullshit, Dr. Smart, bullshit". Like, you use PGP, right? Then send beer (or anybody but octopode, who has access to the best NSA poo poo) an encrypted e-mail with an actual prediction. Then, if/when that happens you can give him the key to decrypt it and then you can descend on the thread from Valhalla, all shiny and chrome, with the biggest  in history.

It's funny how everyone returns to the thread asking "what's been going on". When with CIG it's always been about what's not been going on. Game development has not been going on. Project management has not been going on. Star Marine has not been going on. QA has not been going on. Even the slow descent into nothingness is about things that are slowly beginning to not go on. Funding is starting to not go on. Chris and Sandi have not been showing up in videos. Ben is starting to not give a gently caress. Whales are starting to not care.

Honestly, parts of that started sounding like they were trying to publicly confess that things are hosed and distance themselves. IDK man, that was one of the most stark and gloomy things I've ever seen out of CIG, and this is CIG we're talking about here. Alexis: "We're almost done with livecast" Lando: "Oh, I'm already done. I'm gonna go scream into my pillow for like 5 minutes." :yoinks:

D_Smart posted:Yeah, OK. Whatever. Forum internet lawyer nobody. I'm the goon chair lawyer. In all seriousness though, as some else said your a hero for opening some people's eyes. I never bought into SC but a few friends have. I've been trying to get them to do a refund to no avail. Thanks for being a part of the thread and even though I make fun of you sometimes I really do have a lot of respect for you. On a very serious note, one of my backer friends was recently talking to me about how he's going to lose his house and how he would rather keep his $12,000 worth of jpegs over keeping his home. He is B'tak levels of nuts since his personal life went to poo poo and I don't know what to do with him anymore. He basically said if he refunds that you have won. He won't save his house because he hates Derek Smart.

Plus I WANT them to sue me, or anybody. Thirty years in the biz, not my first rodeo. But it's going to take a helluva of a lot of lawsuits to pierce a $5M liability insurance coverage. I ain't stupid. Let them bring it. That's the thing with liability insurance, it only covers you when you're sued; not the other way around. GTFO! About your friend; are you making GBS threads me right now?

MedicineHut posted:By the way, what happened in the end with Emperor´s Grace (If not mistaken, you took their main system no?)? Did they ever try to recover their cap system? After 44 days, they got it back on a fluke. Another faction overturned the faction that overturned them, and that was a faction they could go to war with. We only had a minimal presence here because as easy as itnis, loving with EG is not our main purpose in the game. Now that they effectively reset the status quo... we can just trigger another election and start it all over again  Also Emperors Grace is no longer a triple elite player group. They also had to have other groups bail them out, and got advice from another group that specializes in background Sim shenanigans
