Comments that aren't reported will not get attention from us, volunteer moderators are not expected to read every comment posted within a subreddit under their control. As this has been escalated prior to us being notified the comment will stand until administration levels a judgement on it. Going behind our backs is not surprising, so don't expect us to bend over backwards for you as its clear your message is only being sent this way since the admins have not acted as you wanted them to. As such we will follow their discretion.

Here's some legal advice for anyone who doesn't know. For anything on the record, never get emotional, keep to the facts and don't ever communicate anything more than you have to. This guy probably thought he was being clever, but In one small message has:
    * admitted he knows about the post and has let it stand
    * that the moderators do not fully moderate the subreddit
    * shown a bias in his attitude against Derek

Fresh rumor I picked up.

BIG hold up at CIG due to Chris Roberts trying to find some procedural generated birds for him to motion capture for the in game procedural generated birds, lots of people trying to explain to him that it does not work that way with procedural generation, Sandi is yelling at them and calling them bushy balled fools. Chris is telling everyone that with out him motion capturing them, they will lack the high levels fidelity that Star Citizen demands. They have five days booked at The Imaginarium Studios in late April for the shoot.

I'm pretty sure this rumor is true, I heard it first hand while at a urinal in a Los Angles public restroom (I was paying my :dong: respects to George Michael ), it was a very fat, heavy set guy who looked like he had his hands on backways, the guy he was telling it to was helping him since I don't think he could get his hands to his own penis.

As I was leaving, I heard the fat fella get all excited about some paper books that had been left in one of the stalls as public emergence loo paper. I think he must have needed to wipe for some reason (probably generic fat man rear end sweat issues - plus he had his helper with him - homeless looking guy in a tatted old baseball mascot suit, looking despondent.)

What you guys think? Checks out?

Crobble

Verb (used with object), crobbled, crobbling

1) To release a product that is massively substandard to that which was promised.
“CIG crobbled out Star Marine to no-one’s surprise. It was as janky as expected.”

2) To turn a definitive period of time into an indefinite period of time.
“Well 3.0 was due out last December but RSI have been busily crobbling away at it and 3 months down the line we’re no closer to knowing when, if ever, it will be here.”

It's called the PACER system, and there are three court districts in North Carolina.

Giving out a case number isn't doxxing, as it's public information.

Seriously though they'll ship your rear end back to Hawaii for delinquent speeding tickets. Theres no barriers of that kind between states. So the assertion that's hes trapped in Florida Snowden style is retarded.

MULTIPLE ISSUES WITHIN THE FIRST 24 HOURS OF PLAYING...!

ACTUAL RESULT
First of all, I have downloaded a combo pack that includes Squadron 42. Squadron 42 never came with it.

Otherwise :

- The game crashes half of the time. Sometimes it just doesn't lanches !!!!!!!!!!
- When I'm piloting the RSI Aurora if I leave the seat pilot the character tends to go through the cockpit for no reasons and find himself vessel"less" in the middle of space !

- Many other small issues that are more details and didn't had time to track them all yet.

EXPECTED RESULT
First of all ! the second part of my package called Squadron 42, because I have paid for it !

- A game that actually launches normally without crashing for random resons.

Thanks.

Good lord NSFW tag those sexy tech drawings.

Serious News though
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-03-07-ion-the-space-survival-game-by-dean-hall-and-improbable-is-dead

quote:

"What went wrong with Ion is harder to pin down. Improbable wouldn't speak beyond the statement it sent, and Dean Hall was cagier than I have ever heard him, even though he knows the blame may be levelled at him, both as the person who announced the "game that is not a game" ("I will never live that down") and as the person whose career was both made by DayZ and tarnished by it."

I'm at work and haven't read all of this but the TLDR: DayZ Starcitizen hybrid with REAL CHEMISTRY and REAL PHYSICS was in development but the devs saw their errors and killed the project before it devoured them.

Guess which quote is by the creator of a space MMORPG with massive scope and unparalleled fidelity/immersion, which is currently failing in the development phase:

quote:

I want a game that is not a game. I want a game that is a universe. A universe built not on scripts or quests, but on the laws of physics, biology, and chemistry.

quote:

I don't want to build a game. I want to build a universe.


Answer:

Trick question, it's both.

Eurogamer: Ion, the space survival game by Dean Hall and Improbable, is dead

Roberts Space Industries: Welcome to the Verse…
