This question has come up many times. I still expect it will turn out to be some mistake from the person getting the refund not understanding how VAT works simply because loving with VAT is so stupid and incredibly retarded that I can't believe even CIG would do it, at least not like this I mean. This is like the worst way to commit VAT fraud and the easiest to get caught, I can't believe someone like Ortwin would go along with it.

Yes, that is definitely the rational approach. On every other occasion, and twice on Sundays, I would expect it to be the customer not reading the refund info properly. But this is CIG, and I have long since abandoned all hope of relying on rationality in anticipating their behaviour.

He was the first and foremost Great-Leader-theory supporter.

Although Lazrin/Lethality is a grade A dick his self-owning meltdowns at Derek were bloody entertaining.

This has always been the best thing about CIG, they screw themselves harder than any of their opponents possibly can.

Derek doesn't have to do any more than post a blog saying "CIG will do something dumb soon" and CIG obliges him, every time.

I think Derek has extended this disaster, because without his public criticism limiting the worst of their abuses, CIG would already have imploded into a giant sucking vortex of greed, incompetence and petty spite.

He's right, photobashing is a perfectly normal thing.

And there's another one with "Sandi" in a red (I think) dress, high heels, one foot in front of the other, that also turned out to be the picture of some model or other. In fact after rereading the post I think that might be the one he's referring to but I didn't keep a copy of that one.

I was wondering... what would the Matrix be like if it had been coded by CIG?

Would people on the street tell each other "so what if the sun is jittering, that's perfectly normal" and Cypher insist on getting more wax steaks that fly apart in a million pieces when you stick a fork in them?

If the Matrix were coded by CIG, it wouldn't be completed and the only people in the Matrix would be people who paid to be slaves.

Honestly not much different than reality, except in that timeline they managed VR.

Wow, so it was dobolobia or whatever who finally took out DR. Smart!

From what I can tell new mod choices are all A+

Should not be a new thread though. Let this one be a continual testament to Doctor Derek Smart and his internet space crusade.

He got a lot of people a lot of money back!

And he won't stay gone long I don't think. Give him time to speak to lowtax, and to legal. Two weeks.
