Mendrian posted:Latin is not subject to a mathematical 1:1 translation to English, no, but the linguistic barrier is much lighter than it is with other languages. Latin, as a dead language, isn't really subject to the permutations that a living language would be. Latin was used as a static language of education/writing for centuries without anybody really speaking it and certainly nobody was changing it. The exact meaning of words are very well documented and reinforced by the fact the Romans themselves very likely did not speak something exactly like the Latin we learn in schools. A lot of evidence suggests that written Latin was much more formal and resistant to change than spoken Latin was. so what is the final verdict of the translation of the latin phrase on the card?

Chalks posted:I actually agree with you. You can't say this game is a total scam. Anyone who's spent $50 on this game may well end up getting a pretty decent space shooter out the other end of it and feel that they've had value for money. The other end is going to be a very long time away, in the order of 3 or 4 years most likely, but you can't really call that a scam. This isn't a scam: It's been appallingly managed by a totally out of touch wanker and his harriden of a wife, but not a scam. The scammy looking money grabs are a desperate attempt to keep the dream alive as they really are almost out of cash. I have it on good authority that certain people have been looked after up front via the dodgy ' sell back shares to CIG ' manouver. Others, dev staff,who left other more solid employment to join this train wreck on promised yearly bonuses have recently been told the bonuses are now discretionary ! And many have received a laughable amount if anything. It is simply a man who has totally lost control and is far to arrogant or knowledgable to initiate a fix. The game will not come out , I know this. I have seen behind the curtain

Agrajag posted:so what is the final verdict of the translation of the latin phrase on the card? Several generous and not so generous interpretations: "Faithful until it's over." "Faithful until we give up." "Faithful until we retire." "Faithful until there's no one left." "Faithful until the fall." None of these have the kind of 'forever and always' connotations that I think they wanted.

AlmightyPants posted:As someone who has only been following this whole mess from afar up until last month and with no money spent, the thing that's most interesting to me from a purely academic standpoint is that they promised the creation of entirely new languages. I saw that listed as a stretch goal during the kickstarter and it's stuck with me since then. And assuming they actually have supposedly paid someone to do this and they might actually be doing it (although no one has posted any evidence of it here so I am unaware of it happening) it might actually be the only completely new thing that comes out of this trainwreck as a complete, cohesive whole. It's not a space sim but the Conlang (constructed language) Hymmnos was created for the Ar Tonellico game series back in 2006. There are probably other Conlangs that can be found in games but I don't know of them. At the very least, Star Citizen isn't the first game to feature a Conlang . It may be the first Conlang to feature in a space sim but I'm sure someone can find a counter example. Nyeehg fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Jan 2, 2016 |

CIG is a company that's taking $30,000 off people's hands for a product they cannot deliver. One arrogant and incompetent man at the helm isn't a get out of jail free card for all the other people taking that money and helping perpetuate the façade. That's the point where you can defend calling it a scam IMO. Not everyone is getting scammed, but some people certainly are.

"NOT A SCAM! HE'S JUST INCOMPETENT!" does not explain spending $200,000 of backer money on designer furniture or prime beach front studio locations. If he was truly scrambling to create his dream he wouldn't be swindling backers on stupid excess that has nothing to do with the game. Anyway, it could be both. Croberts is an incompetent autist that should not be entrusted with anything over a $50,000 budget, and Sandi is a scamming gold digger using him for 15 minutes of nerd fame and money.

Hey Karl, remember that time I googled your username here and found an insane twitter account. A twitter account with an identical username, that was friends with Dickwulf, spewed hate at Derek Smart until he blocked it and I laughed and posted a screenshot from it? Remember how you said that's not mine and linked your real "twitter account", which funnily enough showed you friends with Dickwulf & spewing hate at Derek Smart until he blocked it. The username from that account lead to your RSI account. Then how some idiot on reddit tried trolling me, even though I don't post there, about poo poo Karl was upset about and it turned out that was you too. Do you remember all that? Because I do and it was hilarious.
