I believe that was our good friend @marquisnoir who started that along with the "Nbreeki was permabanned." He let out that Reddit, Snoo, 1st Aquarius, and Hobo were all Dental fleets. I think he listed more than 10 fleets in total affiliated with us.

Honestly the clusterfuck scramble for the flag at the end is the only thing remotely interesting or challenging about the stupid race. Also just making it to the finish line will get you two monkey tags and you only need 6 of those every 24hrs to keep the monkey train rolling at full marks.

Yeah, as long as you get the needed tags, there's no real reason to flip out because you're not getting first place. But these are STO pubbies, and every one of them is entitled to first place every single race whether or not they're using a rental board. It's amazing how much bitching there is in zone chat after every race.

If anyone hasn't been reading the TrekRadio scandal thread on the forums, you are missing out.

mustachemav posted:

well first off in my opinion, I have read this thread from top to bottom and found that there is way too much speculation for a 10 second snippet. You would have to be there to understand, and i was.

But that not withstanding, many things said here actually have nothing to do with the clip but more on how devs react to, or lack there of, the community.

Some get it, some don't. Some here are spot on and some are way off base as it pertains to the clip comment. And some people here are also venting their opinions on dev / community interaction.

Simply put focusing on the clip that should never have been is a waste of time imo, but if it fuels debate and makes for fun forum times, then let loose.

Pretty sure a lot of people know about this, as it's been on the thread/mumble for for awhile now, and it's been linked before.

But to recap: Some Trek radio DJ said "gently caress AL" on their convention livestream, not knowing the mic was on(referring to Gecko -- they were pissed Priority One got a shout out and not them) and I blew it out of proportion on the forums to the point that Trek radio had to make an apology to the forums and the Cryptic devs.

That is the peak of fun to be had in STO. loving think about how lame that paragraph is and how lame that means the actual game is. Anyone that ever had an STO account should feel at least a twinge of embarrassment and shame for having a connection to any of this.

We work with what we have, and, admittedly, it's not nearly as good as it once was. Trek Radio is a poo poo station that hires literal pedophiles as DJs, so I was after a little public embarrassment (succeeded). Pubbies flip the gently caress out when anyone says something nice about Gecko, so there were plenty of tears. Add the usual "loving Dental thread" responses, and that's about as good as you can do on the forums when Old Khemaraa isn't sending out legal threats.

I think it all speaks to a larger problem (which isn't a problem depending on your perspective), we grind infected runs or voth ground thing for dilithium to get newer and better ships which we then use to grind infected and get the next round of ships. The new expansion will hit and we will grind out its content and then use those rewards to do more ISE runs.

But I do realize STO is far from the only game with this problem, but the queues are rather telling, sure you can get a pug group to run viscous cycle or breech but once everyone got their reps up those queues dropped massively.

Although I do have a hard time being able to tell if I feel this way because I've been playing so long and become jaded to the game, there seems to be plenty of other content but I find most of it unfun or tedious.

The forums is where a lot of the frothing rage is happening these days, as it takes considerably more effort to get in-game pubbies to get to that point without sabotaging their STFs or repeatedly blowing them up in Kerrat (as least since the party nullifier was released).

This dude is asking for people to make Cardassian POV missions involving Gallitep, which has pubbie furor in a frenzy due to it basically being a concentration camp simulator. He's offering a 100m EC prize for the best submission. The thread is pretty entertaining in more ways than one.

That guy has been making quite a few good threads lately. A few days ago he made one asking the Devs to make in-game death more devastating. If a player died, there would be a chance to lose gear equipped to the ship/in a player's inventory. Unsurprisingly, it didn't go down well at all with pubbies and the thread went about 45 pages before Askray closed it. The amount of rage over an idea that has absolutely zero chance of ever becoming a reality was priceless.

He frequents the NoPPS channel and spends too much time on ESD provoking pubbies into political/religious debate. He has a good sense of what sets them off. I like the fact that a lot of the pubbies responding to him know - or suspect -- full well that it's a bait thread, but can't help themselves.

"This HAS to be some sort of troll on the part of the OP, BUT......"

Also, Askray's closing post is absolutely beautiful:

quote:

I'm not even going to try and moderate 13 pages this time as everyone would pretty much have warnings or infractions at this point and it's only 6am (and I've had less than 4 hours of sleep..)

Let me be very clear - THIS IS A GAME IN A FICTIONAL SERIES IN A PART OF THE GALAXY THAT IS FICTIONAL. I get those that have family that had to deal with the holocaust have reservations on these types of story lines but again - THE INCIDENT AT GALLITEP IS NOT REAL.

Take a step back and think about this - If every real life situation that's bad was not allowed in any game we'd have no wars, no nuclear weapon situations, nadda. We'd have games where you fly around doing no bad at all and only doing diplomatic offerings of peace to every person you ran into.

Trust me, it'd get boring after awhile. There are always going to be buttons that people get worked up over but again - THIS ISN'T REAL LIFE. Is the story a representation about the holocaust? Possibly. Is the klingon war any worse? Is the romulan war? Is the war with the borg, undine, iconians any worse? Thousands upon thousands of people have/are dying in these wars but we discuss them, and do foundry missions because of them as well.

If you say they're not the same then you're not looking at this objectively.

After discovering his gofundme page asking for 5,000 dollars to go back to school for truck driving (with him also listing he "didn't know where to find food/shelter" most nights), we found him on ESD.

The pastebin is here:http://pastebin.com/fV1UcNHL

5. Misc. Conspiracies and a shout-out to Mondian.
