I thought goons usually disliked rich people who send their lawyers in to suppress any criticism. I mean yeah burn out Reddit scummery, but if you think Derek is doing this for any reason than feeding his vast, ugly, unearned ego then you're a sucker. Best case - the Swedish mafia whack everyone involved. This game was an obvious shitshow even back when you people put in your 'modest' $200.

It's not so much the legalese, more the 'lol beat him up irl hay kid ya got no legs'. It reads like something out of an Anita Sar-whatever-her-name-is Reddit thread. Will a brave goon shop us some pics of his mangled corpse next? To be honest the best part is that (correct me if I'm wrong) Smart's initial case against Croberts was a crock of poo poo. It's only because all these idiots came pouring out of the woodwork at the slightest criticism, spewing literal slander, that there's a legal slapfight at all.

kordansk posted:The internet is not some place where you can sit around and talk poo poo and never expect repercussions especially if you try and screw with someone's financials and threaten their wellbeing. Come on, what do you think this thread has been doing for months? We've made plenty of things as dumb as, say, Kate Russell's bad video that got lawyer'd. I'm all for seeing neckbeards get a slap, but don't act like this doesn't boil down to which side is more willing to waste their lawyers' time. E: I mean yeah some of the brown sea's stuff deserves a legal kicking. But a bigger portion by far is trivial bullshit with no hope of slandering Smart's reputation any more than he does himself every time he goes on a 'burn them to the ground' rant.

kordansk posted:Okay real post. There is absolutely a line here. That line is crossed when you actually go out of your way to personally threaten someone. Mocking Sandi because of some random story about pubes, or the complete lack of progress on the game, or the fact that they can't keep project managers or middle/upper level management employed, or the fact that refunds are coming from random companies that you never sent money to, or... I can keep going... none of that is harmful. When you create a campaign that actively targets an individual and begins reporting their social media because you don't agree with them, or you threaten to 'destroy' someone because you disagree with their assessment of your obsession with a game, you have taken it too far. D_Smart posted:So our new contender for my WIP blog (latest PDF export) on the abusive White Knights in the Star Citizen community, is Nick Butler (that's him in the wheelchair) aka /user/NitroTypat/ aka @Bipii_4084. Individual to individual threat? Check. Social media reporting? Check. Legalese that's by all means more threatening than online threats of incredibly unlikely violence? Check. Surely you can see Smart's pursuit of total nobodies (and this thread's gleeful support for it) leans uncomfortably close to the brown sea poo poo you described. And I'd say the same wheelchair or not. It's the cultists' own fault and they deserve it, but SC goons are losing their moral high ground pretty drat quickly. Goons are now rolling in the poop and eating it and adding their own poop to the pile. Half this thread has now become the entertainment.

If Smart was on Crobert's side, half this thread would be receiving babby's first legal notices, because most of those awful libellous slanderers in the crosshairs never made threats either.

D_Smart posted:^this. That is all. None of them are actually doing those things. They're talking about them like morons on a public forum, because they're internet tough guys. Meanwhile we're just... uh... planning how to call them IRL and humiliate them in front of dad, or making them take down their dumb edited video of you saying you have a small dick. You know, tasteful stuff.

Tank Boy Ken posted:I dare say he's a young adult with what seems to be a very hard handicap. I doubt DS knew about his disability from the get go. Young adults do also get treated differently by the law (at least in germany). Because there is a certain age range in which people are legally adults, but still tend to do a lot of stupid poo poo. He knew because he was giving us pics from post one.

Bit late, butquote:I would say as far as the UEE’s concern and as far as your point of view, the Vanduul are out for the destruction of humanity. Who’s to say there isn’t some stuff longer term that you may discover that has a bit more backstory to the Vanduul but generally they’re sort of an opposition to the UEE in the same way the Visigoths and the Vandals and antiquities were in opposition in the Roman Empire. So vanduul make up most of the empire's military and officer class, are often invited to settle on uee worlds, and have more political clout than SC lore is poo poo, their history is poo poo too. Not surprised neo nazis are interested in it. Furthermore

So do real life jet fighters do the whole 'contact scanning beepbeepbeepbeepbeep scanning beepbeepbeepbeep contact beepbeep contact scanning' nonstop from the moment they leave the runway? Because apart from usual beta crashing and obnoxious twitch folk, that is the most annoying thing on all these streams.

Surely in our promised space sim repair involves replacing physical components? And in a universe with any fidelity, some of those would be on the exterior of the ship? We must be able to perform immersive repairs outside the hull while the ship in under way.

SC gets right in your face with its grey rear end setting of some republicans bumming around and their good friend DrabCorp PLC. Also elite's romans actually have aristocrats and clients and stuff so that's cool.
