You know that getting a lawyer to spunk out a list of demands isn't nearly as effective as filing an actual complaint. That's why your business arrangement was terminated.

In this case? Zero. In a possible consumer fraud or tort case (and deceit is a tort, it's the underpinning of misrepresentation law), quite possibly as it could be used to show the selective moderation that enabled CIG to rile up their ugly backer base to silence criticism. I can't see it being read into the court record though.

(Yes I appreciate that was probably mockery. I choose to answer it as if it was a genuine question anyway, partly because it's arguably funnier).

Wasn't mockery, so much as expressing my personal pipe dream.

Too bad court transcripts aren't like the Congressional Record, where the content of documents can be published as part of the official record without necessarily being read aloud.

What? No. Read it again, slowly. I'll wait. Chris, Tony, nor anyone here said anything about Star Citizen the "MMO." What was discussed was a multiplayer game, which you have. If you want to argue what constitutes "massively" please try and do so in a concise manner, as I'm tired of discussing semantics with those of you who just want to argue.

I can hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth from Reddit and the crazy Citizens already.

Posting from 2020.

Is this game out yet?

Nope. In what can only be described as a cosmic joke of divine origin, Chris and Derek were driving their luxury automobiles at top speed across this great United States, each hell-bent on confronting their mortal enemy on the opposite coast. They got into a high-speed head-on collision with each other somewhere around Peoria, Illinois, we’re not quite sure. Although they’ve both remained mostly unconscious for years, and undoubtedly inter-linked in their own inner-hellscapes, and have been for years, Roberts is sometimes heard whispering, as would a haunting spectre, “ahhhmmm, fideliteeeee,” while Derek occasionally and seemingly out of nowhere barks “ASSCLOWM” ............” ASSCLOMPFL”

They are a true microcosmic cycle of the entire living universe. The yin and yang, the whimper and bang, the darkness, the light, the whole drat works.

You're still flailing. And trying to retro-actively deflect from your original claim that I claimed to be suing Chris Roberts. That's not going to work.

I said I would sue them.

They refunded me, thus removing my ability to do so as I no longer had a "cause of action"

I still sent them a legal demand letter in order to get responses on the record.

I never - ever - claimed that I was going to sue Chris Roberts. In fact, I have written numerous times that doing so was of NO interest to me as it would be a waste of time, money, effort, and resources as it would NOT get me to my goal: following the money through CIG.

Even after he blatantly engaged in defamatory conduct, in his now removed 8hr diatribe - I STILL said that it wasn't enough for me to sue him over, as defamation bullshit is NOT my goal, and it would never get me to CIG and thus the money.

My legal GOALS were accurately stated in the legal letter (linked in previous post) my attorneys sent. And since that time, they've fulfilled every demand, except for the financial accounting which, any backer who sues them over, it only going to get refunded (like me), thus ending the case right there in a MtD.

It pays to keep up. And THIS is why I document/archive all this poo poo. Even people who SHOULD know better, don't appear to.

Anything you could have wanted. But you went the promotional route.

And gently caress it, there's a big enough dogpile, but there's a point in life where it's not worth pushing harder to prove a point simply because you can. My deal is I know roughly where you're coming from and going to. I know that it's hard at the moment, but count to ten *often* and execute after you've counted.

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

Just make sure it doesn't clash with shirt/jacket-wear. Wear a large patterned ascot with a solid or small-patterned shirt and vice-versa. Also, please make sure your pleats overlap your knot. People tie large knots because in olden days, the knots were small and would come undone. Pleats do a nice job of hiding the larger knots.

edit: but to answer your question: A cravat can absolutely be worn with a tweed jacket for period-wear. Just don't use a large-spread collar and make sure to tie (four-in-hand knots work very well) it under the collar.

I also have a question and your knowledge of cravats leads me to believe you are the right person to ask:

I want to grow in a nice neck beard but need some advice on how to best grow it in and trim it. Should I be going for a pube like consistency?
