I dunno if it's true, but with all I've seen I do know never to underestimate the collective stupidity of CIG. On that note, Ben's disgusting.

Ponzi posted:Exactly correct IMO. I already have STIMSIS on ignore, but that doesn't protect me when he/she is quoted. As long as the shitpost/ben-is-poo poo ratio is ok we'll be fine. I mean, I don't think there has ever been a fatter, juicier target for goon action than Ben loving Lesnick, unrepentant imbecile.

I don't, but I do think that they hope to drown out the posts about Ben-Ghazi amongst those that respond to those made by STIMSIS. On those occasions when not much is happening SC-wise, there's no point in posting because there's nothing that needs to be to drowned out, and it's better to not draw attention to the shill account by not posting anything, but when there's something that CIG really want to be harder to find for anyone trawling the thread, attempting to derail the discussion makes it worth the risk of burning a shill account.

I think that short of a media outlet picking it up, they'll just bury their heads in the sand. That it will all come to prominence again come the inevitable collapse and lawsuits/criminal charges is beside the point now. Gotta keep the money train rolling.

Hence my opinion a few posts earlier that only if gaming press runs with this there is a chance at actual damage. There is also that myhtical whale inner circle that allegedly is putting some pressure on CIG to loving deliver. If there is still some shred of integrity in those then that can also help.

STIMSIS posted:Derek Smart removed LOD from Steam because he can't take the trolling but this is the guy goons are looking to lead their troll fight against Star Citizen? Ha! I promised myself I wasn't going to respond to you, but that was too lame to let pass. Look, it's not trolling if it is true. CIG at best is an incompetently managed company with a game that will never, no, CAN never be as promised as the scope creep is cosmic in scale. At worse, CIG is a machine for separating damaged people from their cash. Either way, it hires people of really dubious background. So, yeah, I covered both angles.

I can't even calculate the cost per hour of Star Citizen-related entertainment I've received because it would be a divide-by-zero error, like much of Star Citizen's code I imagine.

ill entertain the idea that cig uses burner accounts to bury controversial topics here for a sec: lmao at validating the thought that a single thread in a sub forum of a comedy website has enough impact on a 110m company that they dedicate backer funds to it. there's no angle where we lose here, because they just constantly own themselves. that's what i call funny.

Scruffpuff posted:CIG has a number of accounts here, all registered in the past few months, that they rotate among certain staff members for monitoring purposes. Whenever something really bad gets uncovered here, CIG determines whether or not to burn one of those accounts to attempt to derail the thread. Most things, like DonutGate, are handled internally (editing the video, tossing in a backhanded reference on the next stream, etc.) Some things, like Ben-Ghazi, in their minds require a derail. The rules about what is and is not allowed to be posted are very specific. Touche. You got me. Seriously though, attempting to derail this thread is kinda a waste of time. For once this thread derails itself without anyone at CIG moving a finger because we are all shitposters. And second, as soon as CIG fucks up next time - which happens like a Swiss clockwork - the thread will be back on track anyway. The only thing they could do to shut this down for good would be to stop screwing up at every turn.

Just 15 mins ago, I was on a Skype call with a very good source who says that word is they won't address it unless the media picks it up. But that some are saying they should address it via a forum post.
