Update posted:

As the third moderator introduction, we have /u/Agent_Mothman: Agent_Mothman, StarCitizenUniverse's resident curmudgeon and smartass started gaming in 1977 at the age of 5 when he got his first console, an Atari 2600. This continued with various consoles right up until he graduated high school.

Hanging out in computer parlors through the 90's, Mothman played the hell out of various strategy and tactical games such as the Civ series, Jagged Alliance, (Jagged Alliance 2 is still his favorite game of all time), C&C, as well as shooters like Doom, and quake.

Mothman thought he was in heaven when Battlefield 2 was released, only to find is true love, a mod for BF2 called Project Reality. Mothman, by another name, was a member of one of Project Realitys most famous/infamous clans. If you ask him nicely, he might tell you which one. He could be found either leading a squad, or acting as the squads medic. The teamwork, comms discipline and tactics kept him playing PR for a decade, until the clan grew old, and apart. These days Mothman can be found playing Battletech, The Pillars of Eternity series, Mass Effect series, Star Citizen and his old favorite JA2 among others.

His favorite thing to do in Star Citizen is just fly around and look at the sights. Every time he logs in, he aims to just go to any site he hasn't seen before. Exploration, Mining, Reclaiming, and Repair are his most anticipated mechanics. He goes by another name in the verse, the same as his old BF2 days, so ask nicely, and you just might see him wandering around. Safe travels, but keep a shotgun handy.

quote:

4th in line as a moderator, we have /u/Baragoon: Baragoon was spawned sometime in the 1970s with a pong controller in his claw. As the son of an electrical engineer with a keen interest in the developing world of home computing, he experienced the joys of powerful 80s platforms like the Dick Smith Wizard 2000, the Apricot, and Microbee, early in life. Baragoon is said to have locked away in his safety deposit box in Switzerland original copies of all of Chris Roberts games, and has been waiting longer than he has had pubic hair for a spiritual successor to the Wing Commander/Privateer franchise.

During the funding phase immediately following kickstarter CIG would wake up each morning and boggle over how many pledges Baragoon had managed to selfishly generate due to his idea of turning veteran backers into original backers. Baragoon also went on to expose other less philanthropic types who were trying to charge a fee for doing so. Baragoon also fought external groups looking to either control or destroy the project which made him a target for a particular group of socially retarded individuals who lurked a website for those of socialist leanings who seek empowerment for cultural minorities, and holds the proud achievement of being the first person listed on their Kill On Sight list. This made him unpopular amongst the moderation team of robertsspaceindusties.com, and this resulted in he getting a lot of temporary bans from the offical forums for very trival comments. Moving forward, things haven't changed and there are still moderators who exist that will try anything in their power to have him permabanned. Baragoon migrated to reddit when ship trading became wildly popular, and fought against the rampant scamming and ripping-off of people new to the project. He was eventually banned from the trading subreddit for showing that that subs moderation team had unhealthy links to a cartel of ship resellers who had be permabanned by reddit, by allowing them to create new accounts and continue their shady practices. He still assists with trades as a free middleman. Baragoon even has his own sub where he used to keep and up-to-date list of item prices from the RSI website, but has since abandoned the idea.

Baragoon was suprised to be asked to become a moderator of this subreddit and wonders if the powers that be know what they have got themselves in for. While most of his comments recently tend to be critical of the appalling CIG marketing practices, he remains postive that the game of his dreams will be released before the death of his great-grandchildre

The other 50% is because writing an article about people whose 'opposition' to a project involves typing out "lmao this dude wants to gently caress his spaceship, also look at my cool dog" several times a day is about the dumbest loving thing I've ever heard.

The citizen con seats are packed and sweaty, filled with spaghetti.
The lights dim, room fills with confetti. Christ Roberts comes out, he's ready.

"Behold the procedural, it's a city." He points it out, doesn't mention it's lovely.
You can't interact, but Chris is so witty. Everyone's sucking on the SC titty.

"This apartment is yours for ninteen ninty nine." Hey that's a good deal, sounds fine.
"Recurring payments since the game's online. Even comes with this digital wine."

Chris is on a roll, his hands are waving. He's giving people the attention they're craving.
But with a parp and crack, the roof starts caving. It's Dr. smart, and citizen souls need saving.

He lands with a crash in the middle of the stage. He powers up like goku, going into a rage.
"You think this is good? It's a virtual cage. Trust me on this, I'm a game dev sage."

"You're trapped in this trashfire, digital baloney. Can't you see that this capital ship is phony?"
"Chris is running a scam, and Sandi's a crony. If this game is real, then Ben's body is bony."

Derek's speech is rough, and coarse just like sand. But to these deaf backers, it's nothing but canned.
They all rise and help Roberts, his crowdsurfing's grand. It's too bad that Doctor Smart got banned.

This is powerful parp

I don't want to make light of doxxing, and I know he's probably talking about friends and coworkers emailing him saying "Hey man this crazy guy emailed me asking if you still live at 123 Starfucker Lane, what's going on?" but I can't help but imagine a big red "DOXX ALERT" email going off every time someone googles "logicopr" or whatever lol



Pretty sure if I were to go back and dig through the old forums, I made a couple of those posts too. Doesn't mean much when they're taking their time and not making it right...

He's a hero of mine, it's the way he distills idiocy with such purity and crystal clear clarity. He leaves absolutely no doubt in any readers mind that he is an absolute loving moron and for that he should be applauded.
