I enjoyed some military org that had truly ridiculous rules for participation. The only thing missing from that one was keelhauling.

Well Seraph brought many laughs and crazy avatars to the thread so yeah, why not.
Karl just brought Bootcha grief so gently caress that guy, and I like everyone so that's a big statement from me, I feel brave.

These pictures are insulting to the movie Kenny and it makes me sad that SC is now associated with it. :(

That was PcPowerplay (whatever that is) not PC Gamer.

PcPowerplay is an Australian print magazine. From memory, they did publish an editorial apology a couple of issues later so I assume they got a bunch of hate mail from cultists for tarnishing the savior of PC gaming that is Star Citizen. I think the current editor also mentioned that he's sunk around $500 into the "game" too.

The game has gone from crowdfunding to crowdsourcing. Soon enough, the fans will jist make the game without CiG, but it'll be a giant clusterfuck that will splinter off into many groups with many failures

I'm curious too, about this and the whole debacle in general. I know the very general story (overambitious game charges thousands of dollars for pretend ships and produces nothing), but not the details/particular hilarious bits, and the thread(s?) is so massive it'd take forever to read. Is there a good summary available? Also, who's Karl and why does everyone hate him?

The best bit about that gif is how AC 2.0 isn't even on the normal servers but you can tell the guy is already bored stiff waiting for the loving airlock doors to open, again, so he's side stepping floating in front of them just for something to do.

In Fallout or Elder Scrolls sometimes you accidentally click on a chair while trying to steal a plate or something and it locks you into this sitting animation and so you just hammer a key until you get control again then your character stands up so you can carry on thieving everything that isn't nailed down. It only takes about 5 seconds overall but it never stops being slightly irritating.

Remember everybody, it's not a cult. You just send your seed offering to the charismatic man, and you get back.. salvation and more wealth than you ever could have dreamed of eventually. When I tell my friends about this concept they perceive red flags like paying money while receiving very little in return except ever-expanding promises. I just don't get it! How could this possibly be a cult, you guys in this insular online community where we talk understand what I'm saying right!

it might be hard to find a summary of EVERYTHING. there was a lot of great stuff in the last thread that people don't really talk about anymore, just bc it's been discussed to death. i wouldn't worry too much about it, you have the gist and hilarious stuff pops up constantly.

karl is a weirdo SC cultist who sometimes posts on these very forums! he's the kind of guy who makes multiple accounts and pretends to be multiple people, so that he can back himself up on his lovely crazy opinions. also i think he doxxed/stalked forums poster Bootcha or something.

Karl is a German auditor Star Citizen fanatic who was posting in the thread in defense of Star Citizen.

Beyond that it is easier to tell you who Karl is not. He is not the German auditor Star Citizen fanatic on the official Star Citizen forums that happens to share a name with the twitter account Karl posted here as his own - this is verifiable because that poster has spent thousands of dollars on Star Citizen while Karl's ships were all gifted to him by his brother. He is not the German auditor Star Citizen fanatic on reddit that posts extensively about how unfairly Karl was treated by SA, because that is a woman. He is also not her father who happens to be a German auditor, just in case you were thinking that might be the case. In fact, every redditor who is German and an auditor and interested in Star Citizen is definitely not Karl, nor the obvious sock puppet accounts that jump to the defense of any German auditor Star Citizenite posting in r/DerekSmart.


All we really know for sure about Karl is he can go gently caress himself.

If he is taking a piss, then its a powerstream from a 12 inch, throbbing wide cock.

If he is not, then at least he is using art to express how he feel in his little fractured mind, something most mental health worker agree is good.

Re: Karl.

Dweeb has accounts in different names: Matilda2013 or something on reddit, Raess i think on brown sea and twitter, and Karl Ramseier here. He claims to be a german auditor (or that his father is one), that he has a brother in the army, and that he himself hasn't spent a euro on SC - his brother-in-law bought him the ships. Also, he claims that his accounts are really the accounts of different people, and gets real worked up when we call him Karl on reddit and the like.

He's unbelievably obnoxious and belligerent, especially regarding DS, and is a regular poster on /r/dereksmart. Regarding Bootcha, he didn't believe he was a VC supporting SC from the start, and when Bootcha posted proof he whined that it was insufficient evidence while simultaneously messaging :lesnick: on twitter to alert him that Bootcha might be breaking his NDA. Overall, he's an incompetent puppetmaster-wannabe whose impotent rage fueled some of the comedy a few hundred pages back. His insufferable smugness overshadows his capacity to provide amusement, so I rate him
