capital letter shaming is common in the discord. the shame is working it's way into derek's everyday keyboarding.

the culture in the discord is roughly similar to this clip:

here's how things go, as was told to me last year

since Roberts has final approval on everything, artists or designers send the absolute best version of whatever they have to him. this includes hi res, hi poly mods that will not be used in game, as well as ultra res textures. if Roberts kicks your poo poo back down to you, you get a pretty severe dressing down, usually during a meeting. one of my friends (she's working on the new SW game) got talked down to in front of her entire team, causing her to quit.

but it doesn't end there. he places a flag on your work afterwards, so he will always double check for "problems" with whatever you send him. keep in mind he receives hundreds of emails like this a week, so the shitlist people get looked at first.

what he doesn't check is anything gameplay related. assets are what he really cares about, and as my friend said, "the cinematic feel" of said assets. one of the things Roberts used to go on about is that "gameplay organically grows" from what they create.

I know I posted about all this before in some fashion, but it's been awhile

Hey, if someone can think of a way that I can meet OSC and verify that it's him in a manner that the shitizens would find acceptable I'd be down to do it. It's not like it's hard to meet someone in a Starbucks in NYC and I have the time, especially since the meltdowns would probably be very entertaining afterwards.

I think it would be pretty simple. If he would permit it, record him at SBUX and allow him to give a brief summary of the Star Citizen drama in a manner he thinks most germane. His grasp of the subject matter and ability to correlate actors, events, data, and attitudes should be sufficient proof that the guy in the video is OSC.

tl;dr make a video of him talking about SC. Case closed.

Reddit desperately needs OSC and Derek to be one and the same.

They think that they have come up with a successfully strategy of discrediting Derek. They see his argument as an Appeal to Authority. Since his excommunication stemmed from conclusions he reached based upon his experiences as a game developer and understanding of technology and game techniques, they feel that if they can Discredit the Authority somehow usually through ad hominem attacks unrelated to the actual facts of Star Citizen project status.

OSC, by strictly focusing on the issues and researching the facts, leaves them no such obvious approach to avoiding the obvious. Derek Smart was Right.


As an aside: The meet me in SBUX approach won't work. If Cymelion showed up to Starbux and met not-Derek, Internet rules say that he is allowed to lie and any verification procedure would be more complex than time-sharing the manger in Bethlehem.

I don't get why they are so excited about 150 million 'proving' Derek wrong. He said they need at least 150 million to make a game (in the blog of July).

Well theres about 150 million here wheres your game? It wouldn't be an own unless they released at like 90 million or something.

There's only one guy arguing that SC isn't a game. We're all just cheerleaders for that one guy. Therefore anyone making the argument is either a cheerleader or that one guy, and he's not a cheerleader, sooo...
