I just started a thread in QQ asking for him to be put back on if anyone wants to head in there and give their support.

I've never posted in QQ before, but figured this was worth it. Dude was cool and it was a nice way to honor him.

Benghazi.

SA mod Vilerat, aka Sean Smith, was one of the four Americans killed in the attack. He helped convince a number of goons to take the test and join the Foreign Service. Two CIA agents also died in the attack. Since the average modern Republican is a mouth breathing conspiritard, they decided that meant SA is a CIA recruitment website and a means of communication between agents.

http://gameranx.com/updates/id/9639/article/glenn-beck-thinks-eve-online-is-a-front-for-the-cia/

There's even more to it than that; not only was Vilerat a diplomat in real life he was a diplomat in EVE. He was pretty high ranking on Goonfleet and was a darling of both this community and that one for basically ever. He promised Goonfleet that he would "try not to die" pretty shortly before it all went down. Beck went down the whole "what did he know?!?!?!? :tinfoil:" route because of that line and the fact that he was talking to goons in Goonfleet not long before it happened. Apparently one of the last things he said to his goonbros was "oh gently caress gun shots" or something of that nature.

So of course Beck decided that it was a false flag, we're all CIA agents, and Hillary prevented the military units nearby (the ones he picked as "nearby" were often thousands of miles away) from helping because liberals are mean and nasty. He declared it some insane eleventh dimensional chess stuff. I think his reasoning was that Vilerat and the other people killed probably Knew Something and were silenced.

The whole Glenn Beck conspiracy theory on that one was unbelievably, tremendously stupid and made a lot of goons understandably upset. Vilerat was a good guy and the fact that he got murdered was just plain tragic.

It was definitely a recent change, he was there the last time I glanced at the forums directory. I didn't realize he was gone til I saw your post here.

I posted in the mod forum asking about it. I'd like to see him reinstated too.

Have any of Lowtax's "sagas" been brought up yet aside from the Smorky thing? He's had some poo poo hit the fan because of this place a few times and there's probably a few i never even heard about.

I know he was threatened to be sued by The Ultimate Warrior and also one of the dollfucker guys. I remember Uwe Ball beat the poo poo out of him once and I'm pretty sure he's been visited by the secret service a couple of times. Glen Beck basically called him the leader of a CIA front but I forget what made Beck think SA was some clandestine cover website and that goons were all secret agents. That was loving weird.

I think I remember a goon meet he organized too that went to absolute poo poo for some reason but the details are foggy for me.

Wonder how much Richard really makes off this place? I'd guess it's fairly lucrative or at least a really nice source of supplemental income. Does he work or is SA his job?

Pretty sure it makes just enough to keep him supplied with ambien and box wine.

yeah, the issue is all of SV is obsessed with quantitative research, to the point they'd rather run 2-3k surveys until they figure out their research question than 1 well worded qualitative questionnaire to drive the design of a multiple choice survey, and 1 larger one to verify the findings.

when you're procedural generating a bunch of versions of surveys w/o a human looking at it all sort of weirdness happens but hey, at least you automated it!1!!!!

This timeline ends with Beck playing EVE, and eventually getting into Star Citizen.

He was banned for stalking a goon's wife

One of the posters on YOSPOS repeatedly posted his own personal info, including boxes with his address and scans of his DL. (When he wasn't posting about loving his neighbor, shooting another neighbor, or beating up cars)

At one point he posted a pic of him and his wife, who I thought I recognized.

Rather than wade through a long topic, I PMed someone and asked what her name was. It was dumb and creepy, and I served a 30 day probation + a ban for it.

When I came back, every time I posted, someone brought it up. I made a long effortpost the first time it happened, then tried to ignore it, then made a new username, and people liked my posts again for a while and things were good. Jose even stickied a post I made in GBS encouraging to buy AVs for Lowtax.

Then one of the YOSPOS mods outed me, and now people follow me around again to poo poo on my posts. Notice how this thread hasn't had posts for 2 days, until someone stopped by to dredge this up?

I'll be taking a break for a while. Honestly, the whole "I think this guy is creepy - I know, I'll helldump him every time he posts" seems like poor logic. If you really think that, and aren't just using it as an excuse to harass someone, wouldn't you just leave them alone? :shrug:
