So think there's more chance now that the world's first Time Traveler will just appear soon, carrying the gold master disk?
"We finally finished it!"

Definitely. And then he'll be laughed out of the room for carrying a form of media that no-one can use, because time travel or no, we're still talking CIG-level planning here.

But then a second time portal opens, and its Mecha-Chris.
He shoots the time traveler with his arm laser, takes the disk and says "I just had an idea....", and steps back into the portal.

You said before a woman on the internet thinks you're stalking her. Why would she say that then? You are pretty obsessed with something you have no stake in anymore, both Star Citizen and the people running the show. Maybe stalking a woman on the internet is a little creepy, so perhaps not do that anymore?

Well, yeah, but those are the kind of risks you have to take into account as a time traveler. It's in the contract or something.

You're an idiot. She never said that. Ortwin put that in a legal letter to which my attorney gave him a very good verbal spanking.

And nobody's stalking (which has clear standards and legal definitions) anyone. Most especially not a public figure.

She's not fluent in French, German, or any other language other than English. And gibberish. It's all lies.

Just the other day in her Facebook page, she was talking about going to a "French Book Club" (see the recent RTV where she mentions it). Only thing is that, it's not a club. It's a French "class". For beginners looking to make a trip to France. They charge $45 for two hours classes for remedial beginners. And she posts it on Facebook.

All you have to do is Google the number in the picture, and add "French" to it.

The woman is a professional liar.

I was being flip about the French LOTR book club--- because she went to pains to brag about it, as she compulsively does about so many things (her martial arts training, the marketing degrees/expertise, her Native American heritage on her mother's side, etc...)

I don't assume she's any more fluent in French than she is in the fundamentals of Marketing. In so many ways, she seems a dilettante who comfuses her basic proficiency for mastery.

Nevertheless-- my point in bringing it up, and that you seem to have missed, is that she made a comment about her trip to the Monte Carlo Grand Prix while conducting the first part of that JeuxOnline interview in French. I've nevare heard her say anything about that trip-- I've only seen a picture and short video of her there. I've heard others suggest the trip was paid for by the Backers (unbeknownst to them), that it was her 40th birthday celebration, and that she vacations in luxury often -- while prerecording "Sandi at work" videos and taking "Here I am at the office with the team" photos that get released while she is jetsetting to create the illusion of perpetual busyness...

So-- all that context aside-- I am curious what she said about her Monte Carlo Grand Prix trip in that interview-- because she might have been more open than normal, assuming she could speak openly about it in a foreign language. Or maybe not.

It may be nothing. Am I curious enough to try to transcribe and google translate it? No-- but curious enough to post it here in case anybody here could translate that short section.

"Roberts," said Man, "when will Star Citizen be released?"

Roberts said, "THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT PLEDGES FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER."

Man said, "Collect additional money."

Roberts said, 'I WILL DO SO. I HAVE BEEN DOING SO FOR A HUNDRED BILLION YEARS. MY PREDECESSORS AND I HAVE BEEN ASKED THIS QUESTION MANY TIMES. ALL THE MONEY I HAVE REMAINS INSUFFICIENT."

"Will there come a time," said Man, "when the pledges will be sufficient or is the problem insoluble in all conceivable circumstances?"

Roberts said, "NO PROBLEM IS INSOLUBLE IN ALL CONCEIVABLE CIRCUMSTANCES."

Man said, "When will you have enough money to finish the game?"

Roberts said, "THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT PLEDGES FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER."

"Will you keep working on it?" asked Man.

Sandi: What? You Know. We're very close these past weeks, so it will come this month.

K - The next question is very personal. I am very interested in game design. And I've seen a post from a backer, about the interest to consider each vessel inside (big enough) as a potential level of FPS. He hoped that this conjunction of interests was one of the constraints during the design of larger vessels. From there, I was wondering if you had planned to integrate directly in Star game modes Marines, simulating collisions and taking place in the interiors of large vessels, such as Idris. Is that the case ?

Derek Smart paused a moment, then burst out, “Octopode, Chris Roberts bears all the troubles of the games industry on his shoulders and he is tired.”
“Madness. Midsummer madness,” muttered Octopode.
“Then let me show you something. Let me put him to the test. May I have permission to use the computer here in your office?”
“Why?”
“To ask him a question no one has ever asked Roberts before.”
“Will you do him harm?” asked Octopode in quick alarm.
“No. But it will tell us what we want to know.”
The fanboy hesitated a trifle. Then he said, “Go ahead.”
Smart used the keyboard on Octopode's desk. His fingers punched in the concierge support ticket with deft strokes: ‘Chris Roberts, what do you yourself want more than anything else?’
The moment between question and answer lengthened unbearably, but neither Smart nor Octopode breathed.
A week later there was a beep and a reply was recieved. It was a form letter:
“We would like to alert you to the fact that we are currently experiencing an unusually high load of tickets causing severe delays in getting replies out to you.”
Three weeks later there was another beep as a second reply was recieved. On it, in precise letters, was the answer:
