I was doing a full on Gruntilda the Witch cackle reading this yesterday, it's incredible :allears: 8bs was a garbage poster even back in Old SA when he was known as RentCavalier, he can't escape his own lovely opinions by rebranding

The star citizen subforum makes a lot more sense when you consider one thing.

Most of the posters used to be in for hundreds of dollars, and were producing space guild propaganda videos before they had second thoughts and got refunds.

The SC main thread in the subforum is impossible to follow unless you've been in it from the beginning or from wherever the thread about it originally came from. I check in on the thread that chronicles the only interesting poo poo that happens in it up maybe once every 3 months or so but it's really not even worth doing that

One of the mods of the forum posted about getting a $550+ refund from the game (he did not clarify whether or not this was a full refund) and also brewed and mailed a six-pack of craft beer to Chris Roberts to thank him for making the game, before his heel turn.

They’re all basically the game’s angry ex-boyfriends.

I migrated into it from the Ouya clusterfuck and yeah, a good number of the people now revelling in the mess of it all were so deep in Star Citizen they were there in the initial threads trying to run out the one or two posters who even in the kickstarter were saying "hey, this is a loving mess waiting to happen".

Like many of the huge threads in the forum it eventually became so filled with its own jokes and culture (for lack of better term) to be impenetrable for the most part, then it got the influx of offsite posters who don't read any other thread, and then it got split off from whatever subforum it was originally in and the most notable posters given mod powers, with the insularity and density growing at each step. The vast majority of the posts are just pure white noise generated from the lack of a video game to play.

Jumping into long threads is easy. Just read the OP, read the middle page, then skip to the next to last page and go from there. Anything even remotely interesting that happened in it will be mentioned at least 3 times with a few days.

IIRC RentCavalier was banned because he was one of those people that GIP hates who are family of military but kept expecting people to have sympathy and honor for them as though they were in the military themselves. Like they want respect as though they were in the military themselves just because they are related to someone who serves or served.

I remember this solely because he was in the middle of doing some LP i was following (I don't even remember what) and suddenly got banned.

This is true. Also, the other mod of that subforum never brewed Chris Roberts beer, but was in for around $1K because he's an idiot.

i never bought star citizen. But i have gotten my money's worth of entertainment out of it.
to be honest early/mid 2017 were dark times for the star citizen thread as CIG stopped loving up by virtue of not releasing anything. Expect videos about their pipelines.
late 2017 was good again because CIG was forced to release something.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DCbvu-uF4o&t=5812s

2015-2016 were the golden times
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeVuMMf-jyQ

and 2018 is turning out to be epilogue of some sort. With crytek lawsuit and stuff. People have grown used to plagiarized final fantasy ships and space tanks that nothing really is shocking or surprising anymore.
And Bootcha(ex-star citizen investor) started doing serious 17 part documentary on this whole fiasco
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hPxnBAdbbo

If CIG survives 2018 then it faces the Godus ending basically getting slowly forgotten.
But overall its been fascinating and weird saga.
Explaining the gist of star citizen is impossible, its a storm of century, where incompetence, greed and dreams manifested in single project,but its also so much more.

I can't find the one that led to BYOB being briefly renamed Beware Your Own Butt but I can find this typical example of an enhydra lutris post:

Enhydra lutris posted:

I do not want to read a Fan Fiction; I do not enjoy the Works of George R. R. Martin and my enjoyment of the Works of his Admirers would be inferior even to my enjoyment of the Primary Canon; I simply want to know the definition of a Hodor Basket; such an Object does not appear in the Series To My Certain Knowledge; further more I want to understand the relevance of a Hodor Basket to Online Dating; i.e. Tinder; as Online Dating is an area in which I am interested and eager to learn Techniques however I am limited by the fact that many Techniques have Obscure Names that defy all Reason; and Good Sense.
