Didn't somebody also ask Dolvak about Wulf sending dick pics to people and Dolvak's response was something along the lines of "we all make mistakes," as if sending dick pics to people was a normal everyday thing?

I'm wrong about many things except when I'm on the internet. I'm always right then. Also, I'm pretty sure I thanked octopode for correcting something I was wrong about a while back. He has opinions just like us and I feel he's treated a bit harsh a lot of the time. We all make mistakes.

He's a pretentious hypocritical mod on /r/starcitizen that is totally against anything resembling doxxing when goons do it (by doing something as outrageous as googling someone's username and finding them on the first page of results on okcupid) but is totally for it when it's against someone who questions the brilliant visionary Christ Roberts.

Isn't pegging in-game currencies to the dollar really bad for ingame economies? I remember someone had a big effortpost about it once.

I have never read said effortpost, but yeah, that would be a really, really dumb idea. Upon launch, the game currency will undergo hyperinflation pretty much instantly, making you $1 for 1 SpaceBuck effectively worthless. That's why most games have a regular currency that isn't directly convertible (or can only be converted from $ to GameBucks and not the other way) plus an additional real money only currency.

I can't even begin to imagine what a dollar pegged economy would look like once you have virtual commodities trading hands. It sounds like a massive disaster.

These threads are just going to get more and more frequent and I love it. People called this years ago at the very start of the campaign, and here it is unfolding exactly as predicted. They've built an entire fanbase that cannot tolerate the thought that they cannot ever be a Malcolm Reynolds, in-game or out, because they are unable to deal with conflict on even the most superficial level.. I cannot wait to see the convoluted half-measures that CIG actually puts in place to ensure these people never have a moment of genuine challenge or failure in their ship-owning simulator.

I was just about to link that thread:

quote:

I understand the game is in alpha with no economy for any sort of aquisitions yet, and I'm perfectly okay with PvP, but I think people willfully destroying others' ships with no other intentions is detestible, and in a game where people work so hard to actually get their ships in the first place, I think the punishment for such behavior should balance as severely as killing someone in real life. You're huring someone else's time in game by repeatedly doing this.

Well, there's a reason you shouldn't take game design ideas from the fans. There's a reason people run everywhere in MMOs, and fast travel has come to dominate RPGs. If CR does make good on his vague mumbled threats to disable that at some point I think he'll get a rude surprise.

I know you're just making a funny but I love the current version of the PTU- you get a little safe haven to spawn in and then as soon as you're out in the world it's a free for all. All you've got to do is play it Day Z style and you're fine. Bring friends or be paranoid when you see strangers out in the world. That makes perfect sense to me and makes the world feel a lot more alive and dangerous. On top of that, there's nothing to even lose when you die- at most you're set back about a minute's progress. The people bitching are the ones who can't cope with even this extremely limited form of conflict. They want the complete PU experience to be ratting at the comm arrays, two-shotting NPC ships in a Constellation and feeling like a badass. The sad thing is I strongly suspect they will have their way in the end.

Why doesn't CR spend some of that yacht money having a surgeon suck about two pounds of nerd fat out of his bullfrog neck? Then he'd just look like Zach Galifianakis. Well, if you shaved Zack's face and gave him cancer for about 15 years.

There's a shadow over Inssmouth and it's cast by that giant goiterous rooster neck.

So his shtick is to repost literally everything SC-related and maybe throw in some "original content" with a podcast (that presumably talks about nothing since the game isn't done yet?)
I think he also declared that he knew Beer was "not a good person" or something to that effect -- because Beer betrayed CIG by encouraging refunds and rebuking Sandi and Chris publically.

That's why it was rather strange that he had another suspected traitor (and known Sandi critic) ex-cig employee Darth Alyssa on INN's "Beefcast" video show recently. He is, then, rather arbitrary in opposition to critics- unless he gives women a pass simply because they're female.

I like how everything has basically come to reddit reading this thread while this thread reads reddit and everyone is just waiting for ds to do something or maybe not.

Then every one in a while someone posts something octopede doesn't know poo poo about and he furiously Googles what it is and posts then disappears for a week.
