Lando mentions that one of the reasons for this reformatting is to move the focus away from "personalities" and focus more on the game. He says that earlier on, when they didn't have much game to show, they emphasized the prominent "CIG characters" like Chris and Ben and Sandi because it would give people a sense of the vision behind the game that would eventually made. Now things are different, they are in "prime time" and the focus will be more on the game itself.

Which is interesting of course because there is no actual game to focus on. This is something Sandi, who Lando points out is the architect behind the reformatting, probably isn't all that aware of, nor does it make a difference to her either way. The important thing is that now Chris and Sandi won't be as closely tied to the public face of this project. Along with the ToS changes and the recent shift from "CIG" to "RSI", the outlines of an escape hatch are forming.
It could very well be a legal maneuver to try and keep Chris, Sandi, and Ben out of depositions. None of them are charismatic and they all fumble under the friendliest of pre-selected questions, so I don’t think there’s any amount of witness prep that would make CIG want them getting questioned. If they were buried deep enough within the corporate structure they’d be safe because a lawyer couldn’t necessarily get to them since the company gets to pick who the corporate rep is, not the plaintiff. (At least in the U.S., I have no idea how litigation works anywhere else.)

Of course, it’s CIG, so they’ve made years of material representations to customers, so it’s a bit late to keep them from being fact witnesses. Oops, should have asked a competent litigator for advice earlier.

Hope you like it.

I'm trying to find an online military sci-fi 'short-story.' The premise is that there is a soldier fighting in a war between humans and alien bugs. The only element which I remember was that everyone was given a watch which kept perfect time in every environment. I read this years ago and am trying to find it again.

That sounds vaguely familiar.
Was it something from the late 60s?
Harlan Ellison, maybe?

We make fun of Derek as much as anywhere else, we just do it in a good natured way and are cool with him. We don't have to pretend he is some kind of Arch Demon to dispel our doubts in a deluded fantasy world that will never happen.

We were also having public callouts in GBS about Star Citizen years before Derek got involved, But yeah the people that invented making fun of Derek Smart are somehow spellbound by his presence.

OR, hypothetically, work with me here bro, Star Citizen is deserving of being mocked and people don't really have to have a reason other than Star Citizen itself to mock it?

thats the thing. there's no reason to be good natured or cool with him. star citizen or not, he's worthless, broken human being. he clearly has some mental issues, and the hangers on in this thread are of a slight enough mind to follow someone like that.

smart is your leader wether you like it or not, and that is embarrassing and sad even for goons. this isn't comedy, it's a cult. sound familiar?

star citizen as a project is not likely to finish in the way backers are hoping and you don't have to be a genius or read any word smart makes up to know that. he's captain obvious and you goons slobber all over him

this thread exposes just how far down at the bottom of the barrel some people are... and it has nothing to do with star citizen.

If you're a software dev, watch this.
If you're not, and have an hour to spare for listening, watch it too.

The bits about the earned dogmatism effect, hedgehog experts and hero worship are particularly illuminating and very applicable to the Star Citizen shitshow as well.

Star Citizen is poo poo whether you like it or not.




"I'll tell you what you like, you like Derek Smart, because you drones have no free will. I bet all of you only hate Star Citizen because of Derek Smart. Let me tell you about why Derek Smart is a bad man. You see, Derek Smart, it all started many moons ago when you, Derek Smart, started making videogames and thought of yourself, Dr PHD'ed Derek Smartacus, as a hot-shot developer who didn't have to follow the rules. Hell, you, Derek Smart, were so arrogant that you made up your own set of rules named after yourself, Derek Smart.


You all make me sick. But especially you Derek Smart."
