Hey wikkid, you're going to run into trouble at County Court level without sending a pre-action letter. It's the statement of account that's the important bit, moreso than sending it recorded-delivery. If you turn up the trial without sending it the judge may well ask you why not. There's a set protocol for debt claims and not following it risks being ordered to pay CIG's costs. And you can bet your rear end those fucks will rack up insane costs to try and scare you out of it. It's a stock tactic.

On the other hand, you mention they've already indicated they intend to defend and are disputing jurisdiction - presumably you've filed a claim form? Did you use MCOL?

It'll come down to how the judge is feeling whether or not he makes a point of this on the day, but expect CIG's lawyer to bring it up. You might find you get a direction to set out the exact sum claimed and how each figure was calculated.

I'd be intensely curious to see the paperwork after the case is concluded. The above is not legal advice etc etc.

RE: people asking if they can see the court documents, it'll depend on the court. Statements of case are matters of public record in the UK, as are court judgements themselves, and some courts stick them up as PDFs. On the other hand they'll also have wikkid's real name and address on them so he probably doesn't want to hand out links.

The bit about Warhammer 40k got me thinking. Given the fact that within the Star Citizen alpha you have ships randomly having parts disappear from them or despawn entirely, people get sucked out of their ships to their death in the void, bodies appearing out of nowhere, and everyone living the same hellish, pointless existence over and over again, they could argue that rather than being buggy, the alpha is taking place in an area where the warp leaks into real space. It's the best 40k simulator out there!

I was thinking that a variation of FPS/Space Combat would be set on this huge gigantic space station, with derelict portions like in 40k. The ships in 40k are so huge they have their own ecosystems and where people don't even go and visit them to fix. This station is mysterious and holds billions of people and is barely explored. You could have your intense FPS portions as you are scrounging for ancient relics in the bowels of this massive space station to jury rig your fighter for longer and longer bursts to explore the universe and get even more supplies. Eventually you could take over parts of the space station for your guild or whatever. Make a little town with shops and living quarters and ship. Have block wars ala Judge Dredd.

Bigger and better engine pieces and weapons would require multiple people to lift out of the depths and you could have competing groups of scavengers try to murder you as you are hauling it out along with the mutants and creatures that have developed in the dark. It'd be more RPG-FPS than Space Sim, but I just thought of combining FPS elements with Space Flight elements.

If you are an adult and cannot fathom that the term "monkey" is a traditionally racist term then you are truly broken or have not participated in society in any meaningful capacity. It's not even being politically correct! It's just not being a huge horrible racist, but I guess everything is binary on the internet.

There's plenty of good 40K fiction that uses the epic lore and puts a really good touch on it. Check out the 40K thread in the Book Barn, their stuff is all good.

My favorite setting is Necromunda. One of these days I'll get off my rear end and do a CYOA for that setting, but then I remember how good my last effort went.

EDIT: gently caress man, I remember reading Prosper and thinking about how much loving fun I had writing that. Maybe it's time to revisit.

Didn't you also do a really awesome CYOA about Orks? Like specifically on a space hulk?

That's odd given that the mod I spoke to said it wasn't an offensive post with a racial slur. :iiam:

If they were just implying she looked like a monkey then that's not racist because it's just a personal opinion on someone's appearance.


If it were strange fruit then that's not racist either because first amendment free speech free speech.

And be careful engaging jump drive by accident with no valid target - I got "reaching end of known universe" about two seconds after leaving from whatever the starting station is called (right in front of the gas giant) before dying and respawning... so their "large" playspace isn't even the "one planet and it's moons".

What does that even loving mean? - how can you control your spaceman controlling your spaceship? Trespasser hands smashing into the throttle and joystick.

He has no loving idea what he is saying. No wonder its been implemented the way it has. The developers probably read it and thought "yeah, they can't possibly mean that.." :psyboom:
