"Chris in a well" is an adaptation of the "Goon in a well" apologue well known in GBS and E/N to describe goons posting about their problem who refuse to take good advice. In the adaptation, goons offer advice in futility to executive producer Chris Roberts.

Chris: "Help! HELP! Star Citizen is going nowhere!"
Goons1-4: "Stop making promises! Fire the ship artists and hire some gameplay developers!"
Chris: "I'm thinking I should make more promises... should I sell a new concept ship too?"
Goon5: "NO! I have worked on big games before, scope creep is a real thing that should be avoided."
Goons6-8: "We're refunding our space chariots! Stop selling dreams and make the game!"
dsmart: "I've written an entire blog post about refunds!"
Chris: "I can see your refunds and blog post, but I don't want to acknowledge problems... should I sell a new concept?"
Goon10: "No! If you keep selling dreams, you'll be upside-down on progress, and then you'll be proper hosed."
Chris: "I started a new video series and CIG hasn't gone bankrupt yet. I'm gonna record more mo-cap..."
Goons11-18: "No! Stop selling jpegs! Focus on making the game!"
Chris: "Guys, Star Citizen is seriously not ready for Citcon! Help! HELP!"
Goon19: "I was stuck in development hell once. It took me two years, but I managed to build a working game by switching engines to something better suited to the gameplay we wanted. I'm e-mailing you the github link, design documents, and an assortment of engine pro/con charts."
Goon20: "I've engineered a funding tracker that shows your current trajectory. If you keep selling concept ships, you'll earn less and less, while alienating even more of your customers!"
Chris: "Thanks for your help, guys. I'm gonna keep selling dreams and jpegs. I'll do one more mo-cap session and just show that at Citcon."
Goons1-20 piss on Star Citizen
Goon21: "Guys, seriously... call your parents."
MoMA: "Yeah, like any of you guys have even have parents, you neckbearded, EVE-addicted shut-ins."

Are you saying you would like to throw Chris down a well?
What a horrible thing to say.
I can't believe you said that.

I just really want to have sex with twin 18 year old gymnasts. But as time goes by, I've realize it will only live on as a fantasy.

ManofManyAliases posted:

I am serious[ly not out]. And don't call me Shirley.

edit: You had the wrong emphasis there. You got me out, as in a product of the situation.

You guys got me out of this whole thing, and I think that was a pretty good deal.

Have you always posted like that or is it an affectation from hanging out in SA mod chat/forums?

e: skimmed through some of your posts in the old thread, it's an affectation "lmbo"

ManofManyAliases posted:

Take a break commando. Go for a walk, or have a nice hot cup of coffee. Whatever you do, you shouldn't get this riled up about what someone says on an internet forum about a video game.

If I were Ben I'd be all about Wing Commander, too.

Imagine meeting your hero and then working for him, only to find out that he's a scammer and a hack. You'd long to relive the nostalgic days when you only knew him by the media he created and the image you made of him in your head.

Has anyone been able to find out if Ben even works for CIG in any form at all other than historic custodian of WC?

Drunk Theory posted:

He's still hard at work hunting whatever happened to that second seat....It's a job that requires dedication.

DapperDon posted:

Has anything ever been done to correct that (ship refactoring/second pass) or was that just swept under the rug?

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:

I believe it's flyable and therefore is clearly done. Just like the Cutlass.
