I'm still a bit confused about the way they expect all this data to work.

I mean you've got (allegedly) got 64 bit precision so ship data 1 plus whatever projectile data 1 to ship data 2 plus whatever fidelity impact zone and or projectile data.

From all the bullshit they are saying, we would have to assume around 1 - 3MB/s of total data being transmitted client to server and back. Notice per second.

My networking is pretty rusty but quick head calcs (not including packet sizes, headers, MUX whatever compression) would come to the conclusion that you simply can't transmit this much data for over say... 10 ships in combat over consumer grade transmission mediums.

If someone could actually get the packet sizes and everything I could probably do the calcs to prove its impossible to have 30 ships in combat with stations etc mining going on even using instancing which they reckon they aren't using.

I'm pretty sure you could make a cool space game with the assets they have already but its still impossible to do like 50% of what they are promising. Anyone who has done networking101 should know this so I don't get how the networking dudes at CIG aren't leaving in droves.

Lowtax came out shortly after that and defended the ability to use the word retard, and i stand by that post and don't see how it's some kind of takedown against me.

But since we are mocking a videogame, let me break it down for you since you are too weird and creepy to get it

We are mocking a videogame, not looking up her school records and her parents surnames

Blue Cross Blue Balls posted:

The Surname Gardiner is not her actual maiden name. Not to mention the waybackmachine has a defunct child actor/modelling agency
Hey, we are kinda mocking a videogame here? Not digging up agencies tangentially related to someone related to the videogame

Blue Cross Blue Balls posted:

that used to be prominent back in the days and in 1 such catalog she appears in it with her current age at the time and the year the catalog was made.
Oh you went as far to actually find the catalogs, weird. Creepy.

Blue Cross Blue Balls posted:

It's just words brah, i could of included links uploaded the various img files and other video's that haven't been shown in either threads
Oh hey maybe don't dig up various links and pictures of someone because we are just mocking a videogame?

i have etc pertaining to a public figure whom has made various aspects of there live available to the public on various platforms but i knew snowflakes would call DOX DOX DOX... Build a bridge and get over it mate.
Just because they are a public figure doesn't mean you can stalk them! Digging through their background for any information you can find is weird and creepy.

I take it seeing as your a lawyer Toast you are up to date with slander/defamation cases right ? Not to mention when you typed that msg and posted it hopefully it wasn't on company time or on a company issued device or from an IP connected to the company your currently working at, well i'm sure you can see where that would take us right ?

Do you have some kind of condition where you are unable to separate the internet and real life? How about slander laws in relation to me calling you a weird creepy rear end in a top hat because that's what you are being. Stop digging up personal information and anything you can find about someone related to a videogame we are making fun of and running back to the thread like a cat dropping your weird stalkerish findings like some kind of poo poo encrusted mouse that only you are proud to be in possession of you creepy creepy gently caress.

Some time ago g0rf did a wonderful rewrite of Lola in honour of our most persistent shill and for some reason I felt the need to do my own version. It's funny how similar they are even though I haven't seen g0rf's post for a year.

I met him in a thread down in old SA
Where the games aren't real and it sends you into a coma
C O M A Coma
He quoted my lines and he asked me to dance
I asked him his name and in a legal sense he said MoMa
M O M A MoMa Mo-Mo-Mo-Mo MoMa

Well I'm not the world's most sarcastic guy
But when he talked that poo poo I nearly laughed till I cried
Oh my MoMa Mo-Mo-Mo-Mo MoMa
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why he thinks he's a lawyer but he post with one hand
He's pulling MoMa Mo-Mo-Mo-Mo MoMa Mo-Mo-Mo-Mo MoMa

Well we played with schedules and patched all night
Wasted a million megabytes
He yelled at Derek almost constantly
And made wild claims about release number three
Well I'm not the world's most cynical guy
But I can't read his history and not think he's deluded oh my MoMa
Mo-Mo-Mo-Mo MoMa Mo-Mo-Mo-Mo MoMa
MoMa Mo-Mo-Mo-Mo MoMa Mo-Mo-Mo-Mo MoMa
Sometimes he is good
Sometimes he is bad
Most times he forgets
The last dumb thing he wrote
And then you remind him with a quote

Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my MoMa
Mo-Mo-Mo-Mo MoMa
Shills will be fools and fools will be shills
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for MoMa
Mo-Mo-Mo-Mo MoMa

Well I've trawled the net for twenty years
And I've not seen a case of illusion this clear
But Moma smiles he's got a master plan
About how he's grown-up and we don't understand

Well I'm not the world's most accomplished man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm not him
But not my MoMa

SQ42 was due to release in November 2014, two years after the initial funding campaign completed. A 33% increase would be an additional 8 months, so July 2015 (was there a blog released around then?)

We're now two years past that, so 233% increase in time, and we're still nowhere near release.
