In the week that Thargoids appear in ED, Crobber Co releases alien languages. Its just like procedural planets all over again.

I also firmly believe they will move to 3.0 to keep up on version numbers too, as ED will have Season 2 coming soon and the 'optics' would look bad for SC to be lagging behind.

The Stimstation 4 is something you're forced to play where you're controlling someone else's nervous system to force them to run into a giant blender and attempting to stop playing causes your own body to be controlled by a new user forcing you into the blender. But if you win, the game just electrocutes you with a middling kind of electricity and the pain merely doubles every two seconds.

6/10 wait for new torture modules before committing.

In my headcanon, Stimstation 4 is the Attic from Dollhouse.

Man, this is work of art. May I suggest that you export each page into an image and create and online imgur album? That would it make it easier to share. I would do it, but I'm on mobile currently. Plus I wanted to ask you first.

edit. Also I am glad that everyone likes this. It was an effort post :effort:

1. export each pdf page to jpg; numbering each one e.g. p01.jpg, p02.jpg.

there are lots of tools for the conversion e.g. http://pdftoimage.com/

2. go to http://www.imgur.com // note: you do not need to create an account if you don't want to

3. select "New Post", then "Upload Images" // do them one by one so that you don't have to re-arrange them because imgur WILL list them out of order if you batch upload

4. then after all are uploaded, view, then arrange them accordingly if for some reason they are out of order. e.g. you want p01 as the 1st image at the top

5. the link to the right of the page next to "copy" is the link to the entire album (there is an /a/ in album paths) e.g. this is an album in my account : http://imgur.com/a/y9NrY

Done!

Note that even though they are in an album, each image also has it's unique URL e.g. this is an image from the album above: http://imgur.com/5fqTqpt

I'm glad everyone likes it. All the credit goes to Galarox though - all I did was spiff up the writing here and there. In fact, after talking it over with the mods, Galarox has been given a couple forums upgrades as a reward, and has been asked to make an imgur album and make a GBS post for goldmining purposes.

the whole part where they actually did promise something and then did not do something and then did things in the middle that may or may not have locked in promises by doing things that are outside of their normal purview of activity is where all of this gets really weird.

derek demands a lot of things and you say he can't demand a drat thing but nothing is terribly clear for a big slew of reasons. CIG force-refunding something without clear reason is very unorthodox. bad mouthing a former customer is very unorthodox. the ever-changing promises to the customers are very unorthodox. hell, this scale of crowdfunding is very unorthodox. simply getting your money back is ostensibly orthodox, but so much of the rest of this stuff is so hugely unorthodox that i'm not sure even that is reasonable. chris's behavior during this entire venture sheds a really awkward light on the promises made and their ultimate result.

i'm not going to go so far as to say that these demands are all Good and Cool and CIG Must Comply Immediately Or Face Judge Dredd, but the only thing that's very clear at least to me is that anyone who says they have a really high-level understanding of this situation from a rights/legal perspective is either a liar or an idiot.

e: there's also the case of the very occasional person who backed during the Kickstarter and then completely forgot about anything to do with their order. i'm one of those people; it was a pretty funny week for everyone when i logged into Kickstarter about 6 months ago and realized that i had apparently pledged $60 during the initial KS drive and completely blacked that out of my memory. the financial disclosure pledge ostensibly still applies to me because i never visited their website, logged in, or did anything to suggest that i read or agreed to their ToS changes (and, for the record, i still have done neither - i've got way bigger fish to fry and have never read the later versions of the TOS myself, let alone done anything that could be construed as agreeing to it). i still haven't received my accounting for what happened to the financials. do i deserve them? i'm not even clear on that at this point even.

Good post, friend. Seems like you should get an accounting per the original terms. Unfortunately I don't think you or anyone else will unless it's like a court order or something. There's a lot of fishiness going on, and CIG won't ever take the high road or be accountable for anything on their own accord. Good luck, friend.

That's pretty much the boat most people are in. It's not easy to yell "go get em tiger!" When most people have a normal job, families and responsibilities. I guess it might be more pressing if you were in for thousands though. Still though, I bet there will be a class action and you'll get like $6.42 ten years from now. :shrug:
