I think she didn't karate chop him to his face because her streams make her money and she didn't want to ruin that evenings show.

considering she only had like 90 viewers during this, and about a quarter of those were goons watching it, I'd say it was her just putting on good face to maintain sweet innocent gamergirl image.

Well, It's over (and her game did get ruined).

So are we crazy, or is Star Citizen attracting a crazy level of creepy people?

Ben, Wulf, rape dude, wtfosaurus are certainly NOT the only ones. There were a lot of replies in the threads about rape, women's orgs, etc.

Beer has said, numerous times, that CIG has fostered the most toxic community ever http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3772600&pagenumber=8&perpage=40#post458831324 (one of my many gold threads :smuggo: )


Is this true? Are we seeing the fruits of really bad community management? I honestly can't think of any other game that has had so much garbage.

There's probably some of the truism that any large group of people will tend to have those that exhibit most types of behavior, but I'd bet that most of the decent folk (at least in the vocal minority side) have either left or slunk into the shadows. Wasn't there quite as long as Beer (backed in 2013) but when I first backed there were some problem children, but for the most part it wasn't a bad community. But Ben, and later Jared, have done a fine job of creating the community you see now.

He's hobo Cosby in hobo Hollywood.

Among the desperate masses of dummies hoping to hit the Twitch lottery someone like Wtf who makes a living off subscribers is viewed as having "made it" in a hilariously sad sense. Thestaceyroy doesn't even have a subscription button from Twitch. You have to broadcast a lot with a consistent baseline viewership to get one, so maybe in her mind it's worth being pawed at by a guy with a thousand subscribers if his viewership comes over and gets her numbers up.

They probably don't realize that he's got a literal cult propping him up and never gets higher than a couple hundred viewers without view-botting.

My insider source tells me that Jared needs the second job because CIG are behind on their payments. "Trimming the fat" as it were. This is also why his presence on the official CIG forums has dwindled. He simply doesn't work enough hours at CIG to put out a weekly update anymore. Ben's dissaperance remains a mystery, although its been hinted that he simply stays at home and collects disability cheques while drawing some money under the table from RSI'n'co.

Stop playing down this guy's game. He is so good he fooled you all including his real target.

In this picture you can see he is clearly working a two set plus baggage. Unless the dude on the left is gay, then you could consider it a three set.

This frame captured the precise moment in which is goal is reached: He expertly focused his attention on Stacy, which she did not fight against, and therefore demonstrates value to the set, which his real target, the chick in his chair, perceives as a major neg due to lack of attention she receives. Her body language in this pic reflects that the neg worked and you just KNOW she begged him to seal the deal later.

Also stop mocking his appearance, that hair and tat is peacocking A game.

You will also notice the mastery of the choke opener in the variation known as the choke pivot. Julien Blanc (another Canadian?) learnt the craft from the smelly rockosaurus.

I predicted an engine change for last year. For 2017 I predict that CIG are going to announce a delay on SQ42 and that it won't ship with the first release of Star Citizen. They will also swap out the SQ42 package everyone owns with a "replacement ship of higher value" and say the initial release of SQ42 will be free.

The thinking being that SQ42 is a broken mess and if they dump it to "later", possibly with a shiny trailer they can call the Star Citizen game done released, wait out the resulting drama and the two week refund period. Then go bust only owing backers the value of SQ42 which is now "free".

Im expecting them to close one of the studios (Probably frankfurt) and then handwave it away by saying that they are increasing personnel at Austin and hey did you know amazon has a office here in austin where they work with companies like us to better use Lumberyard.

Also lead engine developers quitting for amazon being handwaved by saying "They are working for amazon and lumberyard now, we use lumberyard, its like they are working for us without us paying them!"

Financial information about CIG's US entities (or some of it) is publicly available apparently, due them failing to file form 1023 (whatever that is).

- we don't know what was deleted; it could be fake (more likely). There is no way that any person can obtain the IRS records for a private company without a subpoena, or IRS Form 4506 (signed by CIG/RSI)

- IRS Form 1023 is only for non-profit orgs. So whoever that Shitizen in the thread is, saying "I work in accounting and acquisition at the IRS" (<--- I love bullshit posts like this; at least this one isn't a rocket scientist) clearly doesn't know wtf he's talking about; seeing as that form is for 501(c) charitable orgs - of which CIG/RSI doesn't qualify, seeing as it's a "for profit" business.

Nothing to see here.

Meanwhile, they still haven't filed financials for the main CIG entity in the UK.



And still nobody knows what shell game they're playing with the three UK companies (RSI, F42, CIG). RSI is the parent company; F42 (also in Germany) is making the game. Then there's CIG.
