I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

It is really hard to tell. They all use the same rhetoric and turns of phrase and they all praise the game unconditionally for the same stuff- but that could just be because the forums are a lovely echo chamber and anyone who doesn't think that way has been weeded out by overmoderation. That's why I'm only looking for brand new accounts or ones with just a couple of posts on them- it's a lot more suspicious when the account isn't a long term denizen but just drive-by posts a couple "Mindblowings" before disappearing forever.
I would never have thought a few posts from a single thread could make me so tired of seeing the word mind-blowing.

They will eventually do what ea did with sim city (the lovely one) and hire a chinese ad firm to post fake reviews (5 stars), post positive comments on fourms, and tweet about the great success that the game was.

Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?
Since Sandi has no skills or talents, she does have a lot of time on her hands. I wouldn't be surprised if posted all over the internet; here as a "reasonable" critic, there as a fan, other places as a rabid fan.

Perhaps entire threads on the CIG forums (maybe even Farmer John's) are just her talking to herself with different names, "acting" like different people, and entire conversations are just her all by herself.

Ars Technica - Harbingers of failure: meet the customers you don’t want to love your product

quote:

A central premise in marketing seems so obvious that it doesn’t even bear scrutiny: if customers give you positive feedback on your product, that’s good. And if those people buy the product repeatedly, that's even better.

But what if certain customers just don’t have great taste? Or, more precisely, what if their tastes don’t match up with those of the rest of the population? Positive feedback and early sales from these customers might actually not be good news—they could be a sign that the product’s going to tank.

A recent paper in the Journal of Marketing Research has identified a group of customers whose support for a product is a “harbinger of failure,” a signal that the product will eventually flop. “Increased sales of a new product by some customers can actually be a strong signal of future failure,” researchers write. So who are these people?

Sorry, but maybe next time you should show more evidence then pictures which say the exact opposite of what you claim. :colbert:

That said, Star Citizen is weird enough on it's own, no need to go watch Sandi's old movies to find out if she was really in them.

I enjoy the thought that some people take this game so seriously that they seriously read every single post in this thread trying to stay on top of what goons are up to.

Not even we read the entire thread, everyone just skips to the most recent post and reads the last few to catch up.

I just want to know what module update will allow me to incubate bird eggs by sitting on them for weeks and then once they hatch, allow me to chew up worms and spit the food into the babies mouths. This is very important to my feeling of true realism in space travel.

Sometimes it's not the bomb that's retarded.

Does Croberts know Sandi's been faking it all those years?
One the one hand there's her acting skill, on the other he's got his head too far up his own arse. They just may be perfect for each other.
