Some nutcase writes his bad torture porn using one hand and posts it in the CIG fanfiction forum. Despite heavy moderation it says there for weeks so goons make fun of CIG for allowing the stimpire but banning the word carebear for instance. Eventually CIG removes it. Fast forward to now and as goon humor is heavily based on the ridiculous (just read it) the stimpire has is a goon thing. As far as I know the dude who wrote the stimpire is completely unaware of his distant fandom. He's probably too busy masturbating to ISIS videos.

I hate to say this but in that pic sandi looks like an old latino guy with long hair. (thin and gaunt+glasses)
I think it reminded me of the doc looking for sugarman. Not a bad doc but Rodriguez looked old and broken at times and that is how sandi seems in this pic to me at least.

Not bad music by him either.

The packages primarily went to existing package owners as they got a discount. The citizen numbers didn't go up nearly enough to support the notion it was to new players. The free fly weekend is the easiest way to convince someone not to buy into the janky mess.

True enough. It's more that it makes easier (for me) to judge the scale of a single event by measuring it in “new player units”. If there's, say, a 4:1 average-whale-to-NPU ratio, the scale suddenly makes sense in relation to the size of the active citizenry.

It is both sickening and heartbreaking.

Fortunately there are a couple brave yet stupid souls here who have shouldered the responsibility of keeping the Simpire history intact. Unfortunately, the original author of the work probably tossed himself into a wood chipper feet first for maximum pain.

Looks like I need to make a motion to perhaps secure funds for a Community Manager position for Wednesday's round table chat so they can address these types of questions.

I think the citizen number is number of CIG registered accounts, and the fleet number is the number of jpegs owned. Shitizens like to divide the citizen numbers by the total funds to get an expensive but not out of this world average of ~$80 per backer. But plenty of accounts don't have a jpeg, and whales hog scores of jpegs so even fleet isn't accurate.

I think the average spend per shitizen is way higher than people imagine. We see so many $1000+ backers that it's barely notable anymore. I get that we'll see the biggest loonies making the funniest posts but still. I think the average spend is way over $100.

A noble idea, but unwarranted. I think this will be mostly a part-time position and can be covered by various petty cash funds.

However, working towards a rectal CPAP machine that we hope to launch on Kickstarter. Wifi. Bluetooth. Streams music along with gases.

Seems like the big centerpiece of 2.2 will maybe be the sabre is flyable. No expanded play area or major gameplay features from what I can tell. But at least the jpeg should sell well. Give them a few hundred monthly patches and they might have something resembling a game.

say have they ever released another schedule or design doc besides the one for 13?
Just wondering if they actually have a roadmap or is just as the emperor dictates?

There are no design docs that aren't shitthatwonthappen.txt

They fast tracked that thing though the pipeline. I imagine it will be nicely polished with the XML files and all.

We need something juicy. Our sources are drying up.

Derek is not producing, with the FBI calling shenanigans
Ghost dev peaced out for the safety of hisself
CR is dead to the world, working on his FMV game
CIG's productivity is near zero, no new features to break
Stimpire is cringeworthy and played out

Guys, where will the comedy come from?

yeah, CIG isn't even going to be doing any trade events in the early part of the year. :(

The thing I'm looking forward to the most in the near future is literally any SQ42 cut-scene footage. I also think each new iteration will yield more and more whale meltdowns as their fave ships turn out to be turds and no real game materializes. Also Dolvak being de-modded, that will be fun. But I agree we have hit a bit of a dry patch.

Yeah, serious poo poo has happened there. Here as well. There was the one dude who wanted information on different ammo types and then killed at least 1 person using the info he was given here. Not to mention one of Goon Fleets leaders harassing a guy non stop in eve, and then elsewhere, until the guy considered suicide and the goon fleet guy, ON STAGE with CCP told him he should do it if he cant handle a little harassment after months and months of continued harassment in and out of Eve.

SA has had its share of serious poo poo happen.
Wait I thought that the Mittani thing was at a separate panel and not affiliated with CCP. In any case, it's a good lesson about the perils of alcohol (lol mittens can't hold his liquor).
