1) went to covalex station
2) found a parked m50 there
3) blew it up and owner started firing his SMG at my ship
4) ask in chat for help, someone jumped in, in a 315P
5) had that ridiculous dogfight or should I say space jousting
6) I crashed into a station with speed of 900m/s lol and the 315P ferried the stranded player
7) I respawn went into my ship again
8) saw them trying to dock on the station, since I cannot fire..I rammed them and blew their ship..so I guess mission failed for them? lol
9) but I saw in chat how happy they were that all those things happened

The main reason, I think, is Derek.

Derek focuses on Sandi a lot and for good reason, because honestly she's a very weak link and there's so much that's unknown about her. With Crobber, at least you have a track record of the Wing Commander games to point at and go "yeah, they were good space sims at the time" and Freelancer to go "maybe you shouldn't let this guy scope a project". From Derek's perspective, being in the same industry and genre as Crobber means they've traveled in the same circle long enough that their reputations are known to each other.

It's also bad form to talk extreme amounts of poo poo about someone in your industry for that reason. Reputations travel. You never know when you might need someone's support. Derek did Kickstart Star Citizen in the beginning for what is probably a sizable amount based on Crobber's reputation in the genre alone.

On the other hand, Sandi is this virtual unknown in the industry who makes a lot of claims about her qualifications and her education when the only real qualifications we know about is that she's Crobber's wife and a relatively unsuccessful Hollywood actress.

She is also bad at writing emails to Beer.

She was instrumental and the primary reason that things blew up as they did in July with my refund, their failed attempts to make a media spectacle about me violating (they got caught lying) their ToS etc. Once she declared war on that one crazy sonofabitch who never saw a fight he didn't run toward, our fates were sealed. And so it was on.

Aside from that, ahead of The Escapist story, I had already heard a lot of horrible things about her. So yeah.

I still can't get over the fact they created the job of "Subscription Manager" for Lesnicks wife.

If that's not enough proof that they're just making up jobs and titles for friends and family to benefit from all the money they're racking in, then I don't know what is.

What the gently caress would a subscription manager even do?

Slightly out of date as well. The Chaos gods got a loving after Bryan Ansell left the company and they started to remove the authors from the books. Slaanesh, the god of desire, temptation and all things pink was retired as 'too sexy', Khorne got promoted, Nurgle's still around, and Tzeentch, changer of the ways was given short-shrift.

I think the current 40K is for 'chaos undivided'; Fantasy got killed off.

It was a shame as well, because Fantasy had a slightly more pernicious and 'creeping horror' feel to the predations of chaos, who were coming out of the northern wastes, but also managed to tempt normal people to support it. Chaos started to come out of the cold as generic bad guy bezerkers, and then _nothin'_.

Ah, yes. When I went to this event thing with this chaos tank made of eight baneblades and a wall. They said bring 450 points of stuff. I brought Broadsides.
The tank melted nicely. They were upset about that as well.

This looks a lot like suffering.
As I walk through my hangar on deck D of Port Olisar
I take a look at my JPEGs and realize I've gone too far
'Cause I've been griefin' and gankin' so long,
That even Lowtax thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a shitizen that didn't deserve it
I grief 'em as a goon and ruin they immersion
You better watch how I'm runnin' and don't walk
Anything to hear the shitlords whine and squawk
I really hate to crash but I gotta joke
As I croak, I see myself in the laser smoke, fool
I'm the kinda G the little goonies wanna be like
In the 'verse in the night sendin' spergs to their next life

Been spending most our lives, living in a griefer's paradise
Been spending most our lives, living in a griefer's paradise
Keep spending most our lives, living in a griefer's paradise
Keep spending most our lives, living in a griefer's paradise

Like do they all attribute tattoos to bullies who want to hurt them, or are they the kind of ppl who think tattoos are disgusting?

Erin loathes being in the spotlight. I'm genuinely a fan of him from Privateer and the fact that he and Eric Peterson went drinking with some of us before PAX East a few years ago. If I had to guess I'd say every moment he's with his brother's wife is pure hell for him, especially given the pressures to get Squadron 42 out.

An hour of that guy's time must be worth more than the money I gave them.

Lol.

Sorry for the hassle, but good on you. If it goes well, there's a public record of CIG's jackassery then that is indisputable, unlike Imgur galleries and pastebins. (And for you, as well as the record, I hope it goes well.)
