Mr.PayDay posted:IIRC we Goons know we will win anyway: The whole development process is a great entertaining desaster. Yes-finally we get to the heart of the issue. 100% correct. Even if the game ever does release Goons would own and destroy the souls of all the SC streamers. As an Eve player all the reddit crybabies who complain about goons I can't imagine what the SC people would do. The thing is CIG is no CCP. So they'd probably ban us out anyway.

VictorianQueerLit posted:It's a big leap from simply knowing some facts like who is quitting or what the name of a ship will be, that hundreds of people knew, and being this paragon of the community leading the charge for justice against a scam developer by providing an outlet for their voices where there was none before. He pre-empted several CIG announcements back when they did announcements like that when no one actually knew that information. I'm sorry you dislike him but this was a thing that actually happened.

Talking about Derek is why the thread is hot poo poo right now. Considering how badly CIG hosed up recently, I'm rather surprised people still have a pathological need to bring him up. More crobear is needed.

He was a good addition to us here rolling around in CIG's mud and laughing. I genuinely like him. It's just too bad he couldn't get over his ego about stupid things, like comma/period delimeters, his game's use of ESC, and couldn't help himself but to doxx. Classic example of being your own worst enemy. If he could even just dial it back a little to a 9, he might be fine.

Going against my own recent assertion here for a moment, but I'd have to say the ridiculous comma/period argument and his game's use of ESC were loving hilarious and legendary derails that made the thread funnier for their inclusion. Although nothing tops the Goon Stolen Valor incident.

Edit: Because you are very invested in Derek, talking about Derek, minimizing Derek and otherwise attacking Derek.

VictorianQueerLit posted:And that proves what exactly You asked if he'd ever actually leaked something, I told you he had and now you're spinning yourself out of control to prove that he didn't. You're just way too obsessed about that guy to the point you're trying to warp reality before it hits your brain rather than just admit that hey, dude got it right sometimes. Doesn't excuse anything he's done but he's been an important part of this from the start. I don't know why people are so wound up about preventing this from being a reality but it's just as dumb as Derek getting mad at other people getting in on the info leaking.

If there’s even a 1% chance that Derek can provide a scoop then that’s fine with me. The thread needs some fresh meat to gnaw at.

VictorianQueerLit posted:If Derek wrote Moby Dick you wouldn't even know there was a whale involved. BREAKING! Call me Derek. You never know who a captain of a ship is going to reach out to. Some time ago, I got word of this thing called "The Sea." You may remember me covering it in my blog. How does a place that claims to hold 60 billion fish manage to find room for any food? Answer me that. LOTS OF QUESTIONS and it's all going to come due now any day, as I've been saying for some time. Nobody was listening when I said it before, but a lot of new information has come to light. Ever heard of whales? You will soon, but I can't talk about it yet. I've got to clear it with Queequeg and then it's all coming out. That's him in the Pequod.

I hereby openly and honestly admit that every "inside source" I've ever had at CIG is fake and every "call" I've ever made (yes, even the Tumbril one) was the product of my own imagination. I am ashamed to admit... that CIG's top level staff is so dumb and inept that their moves have been predicted by a brain-damaged dude and his dog.

I think yes when they go to sleep at night deep down they know the truth. But we'll never see that manifested in public. They'll be in jail or the game will fail first before that ever happens.

Sample_text posted:Ironically, "the sliding scale of Star Citizen skepticism" is something I used to refer to me, in chat. The whole "with us or against us, firm believer or Derek Smart alt" thing he was pulling was pissing me off, and I simply explained that there are various degrees of "scam" that go beyond "Yo , Chris is gonna take the money and run off to Mexico, for realz". They're definitely working on a game. They're just terrible at it. It's Harvard Business School case study levels of mismanagement. And the product they're working on no one wants. A small group of single, no-lifer males with disposable income are the one funding it. This has no broad based support across the gaming industry. We're having a good laugh at the whole thing.
