Even when Manchester opened and quickly you saw the Shubin station thing it seemed like it would be possible. Weren't goons collectively in for over $300k before poo poo starting going stupid? The fact that there is only collectively $55k still in, speaks volumes about how little faith remains in this project.

While I readily acknowledge 2016 has been a poo poo year, if we're measuring it by celebrity deaths all the years are poo poo years and will continue to be so. That said, RIP Carrie Fisher.

The fact that there is only collectively $55k still in, speaks volumes about how little faith remains in this project. (And since I suspect that anyone at CIG who cares enough to skim their database to see how people on SA still have sunk into this project has probably tracked orther organizations affiliated with whoever else is on CIG's "enemies list," maybe share the data for them, too. It'd be funny to see if any other group of rats has jumped off that sinking ship faster.)

Guys, they said new money coming in from goons since 2013 was 55k. I am going to guess that amount does include refunded purchases.

Trilobite posted:Yeah, could the guy who "talks to someone" at CIG who apparently obsesses over how many goons still haven't gotten their money back from Star Citizen do a little digging? Maybe start by asking how many people are in that organization. And it'd be fascinating to know how much has been refunded to get that number down to $55k, and especially interesting to know how it compares percentage-wise to the amount refunded to everyone else. What the gently caress are you people on about? If I remember right, they where say that people on that goon list had brought another $55k worth of ships in that time, not that they only still owned that much worth of ships. There is a lot of misremembering going on in here to try to make a narritive to make CiG look silly. CiG is quite capable of looking silly on it's own without goons faking stuff to support it. (although the whole 'I know someone at CiG that told me Goons spent 55k since X' is so silly to start with, why even try to turn that around?) (another example was when people here where claim since they had stated that the work desk had not trinkets on them all of a sudden, CiG videos had trinkets on the desk - there where trinkets on those desk going way back.) Don't over egg, or you'll just end up with scrambled eggs with something else in it in the end. (with all the recipes in this thread, I would except more from the thread) I know it's a dumb dead comedy forum, and we all look silly for even reading it, but do we have to abandon all levels of quality? (Some great posters have been lost to this thread over time) /me leaves to hop in the fridge to slow the meltdown. e:anyone who spent any money at any time on this was dumb ----- IT WAS CHRIS 'FREELANCER/WING COMMANDER THE MOVIE' ROBERTS FROM THE START!

Didn't we have someone in here in the past day or two, come in an stir poo poo up cuz they're still a true believer? I only skim this thread when it starts doing 400-500 pages a day. Hell, back when most of us were still supporting this project, people called us idiots. This place has never been unified in its support or disgust for this project. Something that can't seem to accept.

I can believe SA still has $55,000 invested in the dream. Back when SC was going doobie's doghouse and everyone was buying ships for attention it got pretty out of hand and was handily in the hundreds of thousands. "I bought $1000 in ships for Goonrathi  ""Hey I'm the loving tool that has $7600 in, I bought an Idris for $1500 for the org!!" "I'm the collosal loving retard $11,000 in bet you wish you had all my ships""Just bought a space daycare for $500 "The same buying friends principle that causes people to spend way too much in places where people with no real friends but disposable income gravitate

So, I was reading Twitter of STRAFE, the upcoming indie FPS. It seems they posted some indie game development "tips" and a few popped up that reminded me of this debacle... https://twitter.com/STRAFEgame/status/813955149903183872 https://twitter.com/STRAFEgame/status/813955293692297216 https://twitter.com/STRAFEgame/status/813955449561067520 https://twitter.com/STRAFEgame/status/813955866047062016 Then someone added this... https://twitter.com/theryangordon/status/813969721401937921 Young Freud fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Dec 28, 2016 |

While I agree there's no need to make poo poo up to make CIG look even more utterly incompetent than they already are, I wouldn't be surprised if my amount is counted by them as a 'goon' donation simply because my name was 'backtraced' by posting here right before I got the refund and then some more in full. Also...go gently caress yourself, 2016.

Viscous Soda posted:I have to feel sorry for him, I mean he tries so hard to be generously optimistic about Star Citizen but the Ahh don't worry about me, I've got thicker skin than anyone can imagine. And yeah I'd love nothing more than for some solid approximation of the game to be delivered so that we can blot out the sun with our Auroras, it would be glorious, the best ending for everyone. Equally I would not be surprised if they burn through all their money and goodwill before delivering anything capable of realizing that, and I was prepared for that outcome the moment I saw it was a Chris Roberts game, given his past history of projects delivered on schedule. I'm not a hater. Anyway what's really stood out with this latest video is the number of straight up racist fucks who are mad that a game might make them play as a non-white dude. Literally citing the one single character model on the loadout screen as a sign that CIG are part of some SJW conspiracy to commit white genocide. (sorry, I deleted the really offensive comments) I'm relieved to see none of this insanity on the SC Forums Or Reddit, it's mostly people posting directly on my video on youtube.
