Dear avatar-changing reddit-dude, I would like to request you spend :10bux: and capitalize the "s" in "I forgot to think of something smart to put here" under my avatar. It'd be like a wicked burn on Derek and he'd probably get really mad.


You know you want to do it.

e: I like my picture of a happy beet though, so don't change that. Unless you have a better picture of a beet. Or any picture of a beet. Thanks in advance.

From the comments posted:

Wait, why would the dude be banned from the forums for ten years for "interacting and associating with DEREK SMART" when goons have historically hated DEREK SMART for years? That, and goons have been some of the biggest supporters for the game, from what I've read.

I dunno. It doesn't seem to add up.

I personally don't have a horse in this race; I'm just wondering why stuff like this would happen.

It doesn't add up, but is entirely accurate, it's a brave new world.

Maybe if Sandi wasn't spending company time, equipment, and personnel to pad her acting reel footage, she'd have more time to train up Customer Service staff.

Then again, we wouldn't get stuff like this and that would be sad.



I still can't get over how in one shot it's a jail uniform in the next it's business casual. Guess that's what happens when Roberts is a producer.

LOL. People are mad enough over an imaginary game to spend $10 to change someone's avatar.

Though saying that, they have spent $1000's on fake imaginary spaceships for an imaginary game, so $10 is a drop in the ocean.

It also probably provides more entertainment than a jpeg spaceship ever will.

Beer they probably aren't telling David Swofford the truth, though I doubt he's that interested. His email address is on this press release if you wanted to ask him to stop responding to the gaming media with allegations against you that are untrue, as that's not very nice.

He's probably a decent bloke, maybe if he figures out how dodgy all this is there is less chance of somebody else getting hosed over in the same way.

Mild diaper rash. Unfortunately it's not terribly controversial and it's easy for backers to simply accept what CIG says at face value.

I would say frenemies at best. Goons anarchically side with the situation giving the best laugh and right now its uncle Derek. I personally appreciate his insight and the deep knowledge he has of the gaming industry and game development but rest assured many are not above taking a piss at him wen he get into ridonculous Internet feuds with cripples or the unemployed.

No wouldn't do much, would be funny if he went on a rant though. I understand and I think it's a lovely that after all the effort posts you put in on RSI trying to actually help them make a decent game they turned on you for something trivial that isn't even against their stupid rules and are so embarrassed at loving up again they won't even admit it.
