Really though. Does touching the ring kill you? It looks like it doesn't and just sends you spinning because of the ~transitive property of momentum~ or something like that

necroid posted:wait isn't this He's correct though, in both cases - it's really how his backers think. "CIG can't even show us [thing] because it's not perfect yet!" while "well duh of course [thing] in the game is poo poo, it's an ALPHA" It's good enough until they stop working on it, at which time it becomes really really good.

It looks like it doesn't and just sends you spinning because of the ~transitive property of momentum~ or something like that I think the very foundation of life and death are basically up to the ring and the players can only really hope their prayers send it towards someone else if only for a moment, to spare them from its wrath.

I'm truly open-mouthed at this point, the reddit theory-crafting is now at levels. And then OldSchoolCmdr drops the truth bombs on them and their logical response is that he has to be Derek because reasons, none of which they actually examine themselves in case this weirdass Tower of Babel they've erected on the smoking ruins of expensive jpegs might melt away. It really reminds me of the French Revolutionary Committee and the slow realization that the frauds they were so intent on unmasking were in fact themselves and the only way to save their own lives was to kill the ringleader Robespierre. Prester Jane calls this kind of process as a compaction cycle, and I think we're going to see ever more desperate purity drives to remove all who taint the BDSSE, and if I were CR, I should actually worry about this, cos they've crossed way over the border into fantasy and they need that fantasy way more than they need him.

Finally caught up again... and I found out a few things about myself during the 20 or so page journey. After taking a look in the mirror on the userid=0 gag; I realized a hard truth. I feel more and more like Derek every day. - I desire a posse of lawyers around me at all times - I now call scam before I finish the first paragraph of most Kickstarter pitches. - I want my own hate group on Reddit. - I want a guy that certainly is not my alt, who also probably used to complain about writing a 1000 word essay in school, write an entire mini-novel about my background - I am haunted by the cold touch of a vending machine against my fists Therefore, I now identify as Dr. Darkrefreshment Smart and will be suing American Federal agencies accordingly.

This Ashes of Creation guy couldn't be any more transparent if his name was Sir Conner Gamer Whales, III Esq. He's spent his whole life "marketing" products on people that they don't need or really probably even want. Now like the blood soaked piece of steak gamers have proven to be, with all the failed KS games and NMS levels of fail, the shark is jumping in the pool. I've known and done contract work for MLM people my whole life and the really successful ones are the worst. Because they can see opportunity to exploit a situation faster than Ben can suck down the end of a Krispy Kreme assembly line with the hot sign on. If I sound triggered it's probably because I am. MLM people either see you as a mark to buy their sketchy rear end "product" or smart enough to recruit other gullible fucks into their scheme. These kind of people are bucket-in-hand ready to caress the sweet teat of middle-aged cash cow gamers. And like a heard of emo lemmings, these people are throwing a mil+ at them and holding the door open. All the while he openly states his only qualifications are being a "marketing genius" and a gamer for 25 years. gently caress me, I've been a gamer for almost 30 years. I'm clearly overqualified to get a hit off that KS crack pipe CR lit and that this asshat is now trying to "market". DarkRefreshment fucked around with this message at 14:38 on May 4, 2017 |

Like there was a thread yesterday with a guy completely seriously asking if its better to have BMM over a Connie and which one will give him the best profit. Theres no economy, Theres nothing to sell Theres no where to trade anything Theres no cargo system One of the ships he's asking about doesn't even exist outside a jpg The only way to obtain these ships is with real money so 'profit' is meaningless Theres no trading components to give pros/cons for. Theres no competition. The only locations that exist in the game orbit a skyboxed gas giant in a tiny system. Theres loving nothing but its a completely serious sober thread.

This is why the commandos are crying buckets about the referral scheme, they are selling the game to their irl pals by saying all the poo poo that drives you mad, then their pals log in and basically go 'wtf' and ostracise them

Not only were you doing the usual MLM "product" pushing, but you were specifically targeting older people. Telling them how terrible it would be if their family couldn't pay to bury them or their grandkids couldn't go to college because you were too cheap to take out one of our amazing products. Added bonus, recruit your other friends and you get a premium discount!

It's roleplay, using the game mechanics as a springboard for imagination based emergent gameplay. For example you cannot actually poke an elf cock through a glory hole in the Goldshire Inn in WoW yet it happens on an hourly basis

Added bonus, recruit your other friends and you get a premium discount! When I was younger, I got sucked into buying a super expensive vacuum by a friend (filter queen). I was told I would get it for free, if I joined their sales team, and made a sale. So I went for the training, went out on a few "demos" with some of their salesmen. There's no compunction about the customers ability to pay, they sign them up for a loan for thousands of dollars. Going to older people's homes was common, because they were easy marks. They'd call people up, promise them a bunch of free stuff (no mention of what they were selling) and they'd teach you to tilt your head forward and just walk in their door as soon as someone answered. Not quite the level of MLM, but similar kind of tactics. I didn't last long there.
