What is the name of that real money MMO?

Attention! Public Service Announcement!

Charlie Hall, Swofford crony and perpertrator of the doxxing of streetroller for Polygon, is emailing all contributors to https://starcitizentracker.github.io trying to get them to give up a contact to the main guys. Do not reply and do not give him a platform for his "balance"!

Attention!

Montoya seemed ok when I was in TEST (before I fell from Christ Roberts's grace) but yeah I'm pretty sure he's an old EVE dude, despite statements to the contrary.

Also at Charlie digging for dirt.

So my wife has caught up with the thread. She was only peripherally aware of this whole debacle through me, but for some reason she had time on her hands while I was at work, and she dove into the terrible secret of space.

She made two points.

Point 1: This has nothing to do with a space game. In her words: "I watched Chris Roberts, and he's a dork. He's a dork's dork. He looks weird, he sounds weird, he's overweight, clumsy, and socially awkward. But he made a game, made millions, got the "girl" (such as it is), has tons of adoring fans, and now he's taking on the establishment. Everything he's doing is the wet dream of every geek in the world who's considered themselves a hopeless underdog - if he can do it, so can they! And for that reason, they have to believe he can do this. Because if it turns out Chris Roberts lied - if he is a fraud - then that means he's not one of them. And that means there's no hope for them: to make the money, get the girl, and get acceptance. They'll stay in the bottom of the social bucket for the rest of their lives. So they believe."

Point 2: Derek Smart is the hardest thing about this whole thing to believe. She was ready to believe that an autistic guy who got lucky decades ago and bought his own press came back to delude himself and others to the tune of $175 million. Easy to swallow. That thousands of fans are ready to doxx and kill anyone who disagrees with the commitment of that fraud - no problem - easy to believe. What she can't believe is that one man, who has nothing to do with this, decides "I'M GOING TO BURN THIS ALL DOWN" because of a very minor slight from the con artist, and has tirelessly committed literal years of his life with no rest to doing exactly that, like a down-syndrome terminator.

Other than that, like most women, she sees through the scam rather easily. Now when I'm at work I get my updates from her.

Poor Chris. are immune to his scam. The irony is annihilating.

Derek Smart does actually have a day job where he makes video games.

Still more playable than Star Citizen:

The video ends in the best way

Scruffpuff: what's so hard to believe about Derek? Derek loves to troll and he's trolled Roberts right into creating this dichotomy, that's partly why Roberts' scam is working. Derek knows this and enjoys the irony of it. The entire industry knows what Roberts is like, he was either going to fluke his vision or fall to his own hubris. Everyone knows what Derek is like, he doesn't back down and frankly this is the best semi-retirement present he could ever get.

Good afternoon to all the SC fans who impotently read this thread and furiously post about Derek Smart and Goons "ruining everything'.

I want you all to know who you are railing against, at least in part. You should know that Goons are not monolithic in any real sense of the word. We've numbered over 190,000, of which there might be a couple score of thousands that post regularly.

Most of us are here because we like to laugh or have friends who are funnier than us with whom we like to hang around.

Let me tell you about who I am. I am a guy whose businesses in Star Wars Galaxies brought in tens of millions of credits a week. I supplied bounty hunters with exploding droids optimized to knock out jedi because it was hilarious.

(We had to unfortunately have a rule put in that restricted using landmines in our city because it was affecting the bottom line. It nearly did not get put in because of how funny it was to watch people randomly get exploded by residential landmines. )

We were very successful at humor. We made bank because we found things funny as gently caress to do with people.

With that as a preface, let me tell you God's honest truth. You guys are not only hilariously fanatical about Star Citizen, you are also loathsome. On top of that, you are as a population, about the least self-aware I've encountered outside of people still attending Eckankar seminars. Plus - you'll probably get a bunch of OLD Goons to start planning poo poo to do to you.

You are a wonderful bunch of targets. This is not going to change. This is something you should realize and see how it undergirds nearly all of the posting in this and the preceding threads - you guys are worthy of our attention because you are remarkably and stunningly stupid. You guys deserve to be griefed.

We want to laugh so hard at the crushing of your dreams - either through the failure of CIG/RSI's ability to stay open, or the failure of CIG/RSI's "product" if somehow a crippled version lands in your snot-encrusted fingers.

I want them to optimize the gently caress out of the models and reduce the poly count by two orders of magnitude so that CIG/RSI will shove a shitpile out the door that can handle thirty or more players - because I want to buy in and make a business to grief every one of you until you quit in a snot-bubble-blowing rage.
I want the game to come out with enough mechanics to allow me to make a business empire to create the machine to kick your rear end.

I need a good laugh.

PS> We do ruin everything - for laughs.

I hope this helps. I also hope this gives you an aneurysm.

I remember that video when it first appeared. I laughed - and moved on.

These guys really think I write 100 page manuals because I have nothing better to do. If you don't read my game manuals, you have NO business playing ANY of my games. They're not developed for mass market consumption.

I have actually been updating that game recently because people keep buying it.

I made this epic space battle movie from the latest build that I released on Steam.

Don't worry there'll be a scene where the forcefield will go down and innocent men and women will be consigned to a terrible doom in the vacuum of space rendering the purpose of a giant open space in a warship protected by an energy field that collapses during combat even more confounding.

Death is no victory. I'm with Gul Dukat on this one: "A true victory is to make your enemy see they were wrong to oppose you in the first place. To force them to acknowledge your greatness." I want each and every person still involved with this game, whether working on it or paying for it, to have to publicly say "Derek Smart was right."

Something weird is going on with the 3.0 release.

Let's first look at some of these phenomena and then i will give you my conclusion. Going from simple to complex.

1. Falling through floors and walls while in a spaceship that is moving.
2. Not seeing items others are carrying or wearing.
3. Not seeing quantum drive while "crew" in a ship.
4. Repeating commands without player interaction when getting into the pilot seat as "crew"

While the first 2 can be explained by network desync, #3 and #4 are not unless something else is going on here. #4 is so out of this world i have a video i clipped to show you that this is really happening.

https://clips.twitch.tv/LongIcyThymeCclamChamp

So how can this happen? Simple explanation is that every player has his own instance and once a player enters the instance of another player (spaceship) he becomes cargo and part of that players instance while his real instance is "paused" or simply confused back at the point where he entered the other players instance. When the crew member in that video took control of the ship, the game made it his instance and the servers tried to catch up to his game position by starting to warp him to the position he already was at.

It's amazing how these guys completely hosed up netcode for CryEngine to turn it into an MMO, which it can never be.
