Do you mods maybe think you can ask Lowtax if he can invite some other crazy assholes with giant egos to guest moderate the rest of SA for a bit?

I think that could be good for a few laughs.

As outlandish as this seems, given the reaction to his own game way back when he played it on livestream (total unfamiliarity, boggled at the chat system) I can't help but think this may actually be true. Given Roberts' nature, there would be a lot of pressure to keep him as in the dark as possible regarding actual progress; his reaction to anyone saying 'no' to him may actually have the effect of isolating him from the reality of progress as no-one wants to be the one to say 'it's not ready/working' to him..

To all you folks still bitching about Derek being demodded and not being able to admit he was in the wrong and pay his measly $10 to come back, maybe Beer and Beet can randomly quote posts and comment "This. All of it." and occasionally throw out Two Weeks as a timeline for anything CIG does or for their eventual destruction.

That would be exactly the same, right?

It would be an adequate surrogate if they also post links to major tom tweets.

dude the loving person went off btw about how it's only viewed as an American holiday and everyone else is working so they should too

expect a tweet of a dark CIG LA or "even the best must rest!! Happy turkey day!!" on thanksgiving to show how awesome Chris is for giving people the day off

This looks a lot like suffering.
Multi-gig updates
Every time
And all it wants to do is crash, crash
No semblance of gameplay
to the backers it's fine
And all it wants to do is crash

On my starliner, mixin' drinks
And all it wants to do is crash, crash
Chris said it'll be this year
What do you think?
And all it wants to do is crash

Crazy carebears postin', with blood in their eyes
And all it wants to do is crash, crash, crash
Kamikaze goons who ain't afraid to die
And all it wants to do is
And all it wants to do is crash
And take your cash

So it's basically just another Space Worm, where reddit goes off now for a couple weeks dreamcrafting how awesome this new showroom will be in the game. Chris will mention it in a video saying how the showroom will totally be in the game and all the amazing features it'll have that gamers have never seen before. Then in a month or two everyone will forget about it and it'll never manifest in the game in any real way.
