Actual result a) 14 Pirates are attacking a freighter full of space bear asses, go protect the freighter (and maybe steal the asses yourself)

Actual result b) 11 Pirates are attacking a freighter full of space weed, go protect the freighter (and maybe steal the weed yourself)

Why do you need to go through half an hour of exposition on why this way of doing mission is bad? Just explain what it is you want to do and why that is good.

The whole point of this talk is to make this extremely basic bullshit seem to be more complicated and resource intensive in order to delay any sort of implementation for as long as possible.

Is this map showing everyone playing the game currently? Or just in this one instance of the server? Seems like more than 50 people, but maybe not.

I think he said that these were players across "hundreds of servers". So I think it's supposed to be a summary of every 50 person server. Supposedly... I'm skeptical.

That would make more sense, still a laughably small amount of players.

Tony’s job is to lay down the plausible deniability. The specificity of his presentations and plans will be pointed back to after this falls short and sputters out.

“No it was no scam — they had huge ambitions and detailed plans! Just watch Tony’s Townhall speech circa 2014 to see how bold it really was!”

It wasn't an ELE that wiped out the backer funds. It was Tristan Timothy Taylor.
Tony Z shows players at each planet, neglects to explain those are totals across all servers. Unless they have a secret server running with more than 250 players.

That's the scam. What he's explaining is super basic poo poo. The sort of things you would find in 90s space trucking simulators because it only takes a fraction of a floppy to have the code for that sort of simulation.
