They do kill people who aren’t identified players in the LARP when encountered. They’re pretty serious about protecting the mission from “hostiles.”

TBH he’s a great stream sniper target, so why not.

Is this doable? Is there possible trolling oportunities in this game now?

I mean... sort of? Mostly not in the game proper, because everything is just so far apart and so loving stupid. But Rex's streams are ripe for it. I spent about half my time packed into a dropship with 20 other idiots and a couple grenades could have killed us all (y'know... if they worked) and made him start the whole thing over.

Ok. If they want to LARP on stream, keeping an eye out for hostiles. Let's give them some hostiles.

Are there many servers, or just one?

*edit* Actually let's use the offsite forums to plan our attack.

Hello everyone, disgruntled Star Citizen backer Jonny Shiloh here.

I've been lurking for a while but, with 3.5 and the NEW FLIGHT MODELTM soon to pop out of the oven to (no doubt) admiring gasps from the citizenry, now seemed as good a time as any to sign up. That, and the fact that I've had more laughs reading this thread and its catalogue of SC-related disasters than a man of my age could reasonably expect to have had, it seemed churlish not to spend a bit of money to keep the lights on.

Anyway, I'm away to catch up with the thread.

Don't forget to catch up on THIS thread too.

I don't believe the rumors were ever personally substantiated by anybody, but it was hearsay rumors from people with CIG connections. This was also before the big porn reveal for the VP of marketing, so there were some interesting connections between some of these earlier pieces and future developments. Being in porn may cause somebody to have some concerns for how your pubes May or may not be shaven. Also rumor continued that Sandi has difficulty accepting any other women, especially if they could be considered prettier than her. She was very much the queen and wanted herself to be uncontested.

There were also rumors about her being racist.

Then, as soon as people, and goons, started talking about the allegations of racism Money started being placed in the background of all their videos.

My main problem with Derek is when he tries to present himself as some kind of industry insider. He might sometimes spur some fun drama, but at the end of the day, he's a self-aggrandizing, narcissistic douche who can't help doxxing anyone he feels ever slighted him.

So the second anyone talks about him in glowing terms it rubs me the wrong way. I don't like encouraging that kind of person - I've had too many bad experiences with them in my personal life.

His presenting himself as an insider has some credibility though. He has made (crappy) games, and does know a few folks. The self-aggrandizing, narcissism, douch-ness just passes right over my head. I work with so many psychopaths that Derek (who is not a psychopath) just seems quaint and funny.

Who did he doxx, and how? I'll add it to the drama thread.

This is a good point. I'll take a narcissistic loudmouth over a kind, benevolent-seeming psychopath any day of the week. The first one makes a lot of noise that can piss you off if you let it, but poses no actual threat. The second one will ask "what's wrong" and sit quietly and earnestly hear you out and commiserate with you over horrible things that happened to you, that he was the one who did, and knows he did, and doesn't care he did, and will lie to you and point to someone else as the culprit while pretending to help you recover, all the while planning the next instance of loving you over.

I've worked with a few of these if it isn't obvious.

And because with Derek it was funny. I always felt with him we were more like "Oh yeah? Tell us another one!" loling at him spending hours furiously typing/streaming bullshit, rather than anyone actually getting mad.

Check his SA forums rap sheet, he was probated and warned over and over to stop but kept doing it.

I think it was some random Twitter people, he was like "oh yeah, this guy is stalking me, his real name is XXX and he works at XXX. lol I know I'm gonna get probated but totally worth it!" and then he FINALLY got perma'ed.

Eeehh, I don't really put much stock in rap sheets. Some of the mods really, REALLY hated him and would ban him upon someone complaining. Then, after "grownups" came in a looked at it, it would be reversed.

For example: He was accused of doxxing for linking an IMDB page. lol

Although when he doxxed the fat old guy pretending to be a 16 year old Irish girl to get free spaceships, well, that was funny to see.

There's so much of this I don't understand... who was Cora who was banned from CitCon back then? Who did Accelerwraith flash his penis at in a selfie, and who was her husband, and does Accelerwraith actually have a wife?

Bloody hell, Star Citizen throws up so many more questions than it answers.

Ask, and ye shall receive:

(this is a post by CrazyLoon)

Basically, Star Citizen had a chat. In said chat a married woman meets mr. personality, DickWulf, who starts getting really 'friendly' with her the moment he finds out she is a FEMALE, gifting her free spaceship .jpegs and whatnot. And just 3 days after that, she gets this in her e-mail (whose address he got automatically through gifting said spaceships, thanks to CIG's non-existent security considerations):

After which she has a rather...awkward as gently caress conversation with him about how it's not really cool. Here's the convo: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3773270&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=2#post459662452

So Raskolnikov, being her friend, complains about this to CIG moderators, about how it's really not cool this can happen to a married woman over the official site, and that it's not the first time with ole DickWulf and that there has been much talk of him doing it before. But mods stonewall her, saying: "Oh it happened over e-mail, outside of our jurisdiction!" while refusing to admit the only way he got her e-mail was because of how their gifting procedure is hosed up. So Raskolnikov tells off DickWulf publically in chat, that if he keeps doing this something bad will happen to him sooner or later, which the moderators interpret as her threatening to kill DickWulf and not only slap a probation onto her but also ban her from attending CitizenCon, Star Citizen's official yearly gathering, which she only finds out once she arrives there and only gets overturned, due to another big-time backer vouching for her.

So TL;DR - Misogynist rear end in a top hat (who himself is married) is prolly still stalking their forums, sending dick pics and any woman that complains about it gets punished, while he keeps on truckin' thanks to him spending 30-40k dollars on Star Shitizen. And all of which supervised and considered okay by good ole. :lesnick:
