I'm prettymuch done with Leonard since the last go-around and today solidified that. It's boring and kw0134's 4 paragraphs offers more insight than his 2 hours of guesswork.quote:CaptainYosho: People here for Star Citizen discussion - stay tuned to the end of the show, we're announcing Leonard's appearance on Base Radio, a Star Citizen podcast

Leonard actually seems pretty smart. All of the sudden he has been thrust into a situation where he has an interested audience whose most well defined characteristic is their ability and desire to throw money into hopes and dreams. He makes the appropriate distinctions that what he says are his interpretations only, and he is not a specialist in the field. Then he feeds them hopes and dreams. He is just taking advantage of a good deal.

The theorycrafters are right. It is lazy. What happens if your car gets stolen, lost or destroyed repeatedly in real life? Your premiums and deductibles go way up. Some people pay so much it's like buying multiple new cars per year. If your ship is lost often in the game, your deductible should keep going up until it's nearly the full price of the ship. Conversely, a thief can only sell the ship for 25% of it's value. Insurance fraud would not be profitable, long term, but theft would still be somewhat lucrative. Solved. The warlords will be totally cool with paying huge deductibles on their ganked Javelins.

His electronic cult job is to check under the beds for Derek Smarts and then sing the backers lullabies so they can dream. Imagine being him; half conman, half victim himself.

Reuben Sandwich posted:Couldn't a judge keep kicking the can on a trial date in hopes that a settlement would be reached or is Space Court date set in set in stone. Is it me, or is the lawsuit the first time CIG are achieving their deadlines? One thing to note too is that this is a jury trial. Once that's set and jury selection begins things move. You do not gently caress around with waits and hemming and hawing, especially if one side wants this shitshow to begin. That's when the judge gets to bang her gavel and levy sanctions for wasting time. But we're a ways away from that. And all this back-n-forth is built into the typical timeline for a court case. So you'll have discovery, you'll have motions in limine, arguments over who gets to show up as an expert witness, the all but guaranteed pit fight when both sides submit motions for summary judgment, etc. There's a ton of stuff that isn't designed to make a case tarry, but it does anyway.

Colostomy Bag posted:The whole absurdity of this project (and of course more recent events) never ceases to amaze me. They haven’t gotten this far, and may never. There will be so many mechanics that we will never see how they implement it will be cute. I wouldn’t be surprised if it vanishes when whoever requisitioned it from the terminal logs out, or just whenever the server has to be reset every hour or something. We’ll probably never know.

Are you saying I’m a world class actress and the best marketer in the world since I was a little girl and that smartestest person in the world? Because you’d so totally be right. Keep pledging guys I really need to get another Porsche and these tattoos I keep getting so I can play Drug Addicted Mom #12 and get cut from the movie anyway really hurt me right in the ego. Knowing that no matter how many times I fail, there’s always more money you nerds are throwing away at us so I can just run off to the next thing makes it slightly better. 42. Doom. I’ll wrap myself naked in a flag of Star Citizen, because I’m also a sexy model and not just a Skeltor. Uh... I love Star Citizer and buy ships! Buy buy buy buy! When I say Star Citizer is my favorite store in citadel I’m not lying, I’m totally honest that this is my favorite.

Tippis posted:I think we're missing the bigger picture here. That’s probably why Skadden took the case. Imagine having a library of videos that can be used in a court of law where it’s not a “he said she said” thing but rather a “here’s you literally saying this, let’s play the video!” type of environment. I can’t imagine the trial will be anything but a slaughter of CIG unless they can get it taken out by some technicality or tiny caveat.

I hope these guys figure out who CIG is pandering too. It’s not care bears. It’s not the PvP guys. It’s not the guys who want to be traders. It’s not even the guys who just want to play the game. It’s the people who want to spend money like virtual space ships are toy trains. If you’re not in that class, gently caress yourself because CIG could care less about what you want out of anything.

Just me but I have hoped since day 0 that this lawsuit kills CryTek because they are lovely and CIG because they are also lovely. This is a fight between two poo poo tier companies and honestly no matter who wins some lovely company is going to suffer, and that’s ok with me.

Golli posted:Is there typically a hearing (and oral arguments) on the motion to dismiss, or does the judge usually make their ruling solely on the basis of the submissions? "So does the movant have anything to add? Be brief," says the Hon. Judge Gee with a tone of world-weariness that belies the length of this case, which seems to have already dragged on for years. "You see Derek Smart..." "No, stop, I don't care. You've already made clear that you're an idiot. Does plaintiff's counsel have anything to add to 'rebut' the statements made?" "Naw, we think we've said our piece well enough the first time." "Right, whatever. Motion to dismiss is denied, I'm setting a conference in two weeks to make sure all requests for discovery have been submitted and acknowledged, then we can start asking what dates the courtroom will be available for trial. Adjourned. Someone find one of my clerks, I know he has some 151 rum in a flask, I want some now. What are you waiting for, a written court order? Go." At least that's how it'll go in my head.
