Ok, seriously where is that fanfic somebody posted that had Ben Lesnick being the warlord who's actually in charge and Chris as his fearful toady?

Could you ask him if it would be possible to get Portsmouth Sinfonia to perform his work? It would fit perfectly to the general feeling of Star Citizen.

Okay, who has the drama on this one? I skipped a few pages so I may have missed it.

Jumbify is good at coding bots. Probably something like the imgur report bot and the downvote bot redditors love.

You know how stupid people project, and how all of the cultists think SA has downvote bots running on their sub? Remember how Dolvak was one of the people howling the loudest about the evil goons and their imgur report bot that specifically targeted this thread (???) because he was the one doing the reporting? Or look at some of the disproportionately upvoted comments in threads whinging about Dolvak's unwilling departure.

They absolutely have vote bots and dummy accounts they employ on /r/starcitizen. They're the only ones stupid, petty, and desperate enough to bother.
Seems like the new Dolvak, Jumbify is /r/starcitizens expert bot programmer: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3xj9uh/uee_central_computer_learned_newbie_helper_i_need/

Perhaps he can make magic downvotes happen without using overt moderator powers :yarg:

Wow.. im really hoping the other person is a goon trolling the poo poo out of you.. but i doubt it.

AdulfRollt seems like a pretty unreasonable guy though. Who honestly thinks the game isnt coming out at this point? CiG has my confidance and anyone who thinks otherwise should be dragged out into the street and have Nickelodeon Slime dropped on them.

It is me :eng99:

Ok, so after a while of dealing with Cloud Imperium Games, I have finally received a refund of $3000 USD.

After the terms of service change, I contacted CIG and requested a full refund.
Here's a full transcript with personal identifying information removed.







Essentially, a full denial.
I did exactly what I said I would, and ended up recovering $900 dollars through Amazon payments.


On June 29th, I received three official responses, pretty much identical in spirit, though the one I received from the District Attorney of Los Angeles was signed by Ortwin personally.





Two days later, I received Paypal responses about my inquiry of a refund. I received the following response on all my claims:


Then, on July 11th, I was contacted by an LA County Investigator inquiring information about CIG and RSI.
We had about an hour long conversation, where I detailed everything about CIG and how I felt it was a scam (my opinion)
He told me to get as many people as I can to write complaints into them, so they can build a case.
Here: http://dcba.lacounty.gov/wps/portal/dca
For clarity, I'M DEREKS SOURCE FOR THAT

Less than 24 hours later, I received the additional balance of what I was unable to recover.


I plan to record an upload a video to Youtube detailing my journey, but I promised to update the thread for you guys, so here you are.

This is beautiful and needs to be posted on reddit stat. Those poor bastards need to know there is a way out.

The original photo is in the reddit thread, but figured it probably won't be for much longer... The blur job on his kid was me, btw.

Thanks for blurring out the kid. Nice catch on the priority line, the backers will never know
