How long does it take to do a find/replace with the terms "Wing Commander" and "Squadron 42"? Actually, I guess someone has to read through to make sure there's no instance of a wing commander being referred to as a squadron 42, but that still shouldn't take four years. e: flying catte

AP posted:Why are you really here? Honestly. Who started the MW derail? It wasn't me - it was you guys. Am I to say, "Nope - please don't ask me those questions. AP and Jon Do and others will get upset that I'm not staying on track?" I have an interest in the project because my money is in the project. Yes. RSI forums are a loving joke. You cannot bring up any point (such as those I made about mismanagement, tone-of-the-top, structured project management, etc) without getting shat on by white knights. Reddit is worse - I don't even bother there. Neogaf wants blood before you can even register an account, so nope. MMORPG? lol. So I tried here, but quickly realized you sought out fresh blood as a punching bag. So yeah - I'm on a quest to openly discuss how I feel that CIG can still pull this off, but I'm kinda left hanging in the evidence department because of the slow pace of progression. I substitute the wasted time with the poo poo filler discussion that's thrown my way.

There are others who have come here and integrated just fine, in spite of being far more — and far more explicitly — in favour of CIG than you claim to be.

The latest thing is you're convinced the script has been finished and you don't even seem to know about the numerous re shoots, one just a couple of weeks ago for new material. The actual conversation is occurring far above your head. As for your TOS shenanigans, maybe that seemed like a good idea to you at the time but it just shows that you let your "invested" money affect your judgement into posting insane poo poo. So why should anyone take anything you say seriously? Also you lied about your reddit account and probably a dozen other things.  https://twitter.com/ghostMonkeyZwei/status/735846025462722560 AP fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Jun 17, 2016 |

I substitute the wasted time with the poo poo filler discussion that's thrown my way. It would be cool if you would give a hard date on how long you are willing to wait for evidence before conceding that the project is likely non-viable. For instance, your predecessor Octopode said that CIG needed to show a sharp increase in content and optimization over the few months following the release of Alpha in order to keep his faith in the project (where increase in content meant literally dozens of star systems). He genuinely believed that this is what would happen, since "the foundation had already been layed". He's posted in the thread maybe once since making that prediction. Similarly Loiosh had the expectation that multi-crew would be functional and fun to play within a few weeks after 2.1 released iirc. It didn't take him long after that to realize he shoulda gotten that refund when he had the chance. So what's your bar?

If he had decided two years ago that Cryengine wasn't working out and had his team of Cryengine experts build a new engine from scratch while taking into account lessons learned, then SC would be in a better place.

Kind of sad they spend four years writing the most generic poo poo ever and rehashed the plot from wing commander the movie. They should learn to steal from other sources, like their concept artists.

ManofManyAliases posted:So I tried here, but quickly realized you sought out fresh blood as a punching bag. That's not true. Many new posters have received a very friendly welcome. (for example Streetroller, the most ? recent one). You on the hand nearly pulled a Seraph. Do you have forgotten your "COOL Belt Kickstarter"   ing. Do I need to remind you how "new" this belt is, and that this kickstarter was just an ad campaign. Chances are pretty good that SC will be as good a source for smugness as the belt kickstarter. I mean the senior management did have "some" changes. (Producer and Art Director) Those could have turned management issues around, but probably felt like replying to you. So they left, even for worse positions.

There was a Sid James twitter account that was heavily into horse racing tweets, it broke some major drama news about Star Citizen, I forget what. Actually it might have been the mafia/money laundering thing. Also Chris Roberts used to own a horse ranch or something, then it's discovered there's a horse called Star Citizen and it has a sibling called "don't be" or similar. Seems like this is game of thrones and we're on season 11 and I'm trying to remember episode 3 of season 2.
