I have the domain now, but I don't have any web space. I presume I can just make the domain point to somewhere else.


That place could be an existing best-of collection of Star Citizen memorabilia. Do we have that? I could also just link to the OP of the thread or something I suppose.


I could also fill some page with a bunch of gifs, bears, and parp sounds. But I don't have any web space and haven't done any web stuff since ~2004, no idea where to start.



So who can answer the call and guide me? I don't want to take two years to develop it though, by then the experience would be stale.

Motion capture, as much motion capture as you can afford and then more.

It worked for Croberts - he brought the strangler a 4.3 million dollar house. I heard she was totally tickled about it.

Also put a picture of a dial that goes to 10 set in the 11 position, and label it "Smartness".

And maybe the Star Citizen "answer the call" video with the call be answered only to find out it was Derek calling it.

Talk to Transformer has gotten and update, and tradition demands it:

Star Citizen is not a scam! You do your research. The $99 price you see is actually the current market price of the game. And if you've never played a Wing Commander game, that's just how it is. That's why I'm telling you this - it's not a scam. I will not lie to anyone. You want to be a part of my team? I invite you to join our mailing list to get more info: https://www.robertsspaceindustries.com/forums/...php?t=384750 And again, don't give up, you can work as a designer, programmer, artist, or even better, a PR person. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you work within the boundaries of what everyone else here in CIG does." - Chris Roberts

Chris Roberts has fled the country with hundreds of millions in stolen funding! It's time to see if he can be stopped. We need to fight to stop him. Please click here to help spread the word about our campaign!


"I have been in and out of prisons and jails but never in a situation that involved stealing from the public to fund my own personal business." - Chris Roberts, the man behind the scams known as the Roberts Institute.


Chris Roberts, owner and President of The Roberts Institute LLC, is now running a legal scam that may go as far as "the largest Ponzi scheme in history". His website promises to help people avoid criminal prosecution by paying off debts in exchange for "free courses" in topics like "The Art of Financial Management" and "Investing for the long run".


Mr. Roberts and his company claim to offer high quality, real world guidance in investing that is based on financial theory and has received a "Certificate of Financial Success" from one of the most prestigious investment banks in the United States.


But we are not buying it. He has been caught scamming people.

Interestingly: the algorithm likes to attach 'promotional' material to Star Citizen related content. Stuff like made up urls for 'click here for referral code' or 'use link for store discount'. Given that it is generating this based on what it has 'read' prior, the association it has formed with desperate marketing his absolutely delicious.

This is amazing. I love the attempt at a forum link. :allears:

Assuming you are logged in, if you go to the search page (you can search for whatever, it doesn't matter), then click the cog/gear icon and choose "Edit your preferences".
Put in a couple of tags to exclude, then check again and see if that clears things up for you.
I have "Sexual Content", "Nudity" and "Horror" as my only exclusion tags and this is what the two tabs look like for me:



Mind you, I have also done the discovery queue enough over the years to have about 1000 games on "ignore" but that should not affect the new releases page.

So I set aside like $30k for the next con.

Figure I'll be throwing some packs at some people and probably dropping some bills on some of my favorite streamers like Rexzilla because the other streamers are all experiencing depression and self-doubt at their career choices.

I hope this is enough. I don't want to be left out in the cold at the next star ship auction because I really need to have a 500 player battleship join my growing fleet of ships.

I'll also plunk down some hard dollars for that mining ship based off of the Dead Space mining ship because I really want to mine planets for ore.

It wasn't an ELE that wiped out the backer funds. It was Tristan Timothy Taylor.

loving SBS, stores routinely give store credit.

Here is an industry report of returns:

https://appriss.com/retail/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2017/12/2017_Consumer-Returns-in-the-Retail-Industry-Report.pdf



Needless to say it is huge, most companies push for in store credit because it actually REDUCES the overall loss.
