whoa there i wasn't calling you a bad person, just saying that a little proofreading goes a long way. constant grammatical errors aren't going to help you make your point or grow a readership (unless they're accompanied with funny videos or pictures of cats).

To be fair, to you, I in no way took it as you calling me such. I was just stating who/what we are and why we do what we do. I didn't take it personally like an attack, so it's all good. You didn't tell me to remove the stick from my rear end after all.

But yeah, I do agree with your overall point. We proofread it all, and at times I know we gently caress up and miss stuff. It's going to happen. But either way, all good.

I sense a lot of negativity in this thread and it is affecting my chakras. Sure, Croberts may have given the backers less than they expected on the star marine front but what he takeths away on one hand he giveths with the other. For instance, he just confirmed GTA in space.

quote:

So did CR just confirm GTA-style "5 stars" coming eventually to a crusader near you? self.starcitizen

submitted 5 hours ago by lordx3n0saeonPirate

(based on the most recent 10ftC) So hear me out. Seems like he said:

-If a com array is online and it witnesses violence you get penalties

-bounties, NPCs showing up to screw you over, etc pile up the more you do.

I'm imagining someone going on a rampage and eventually having this huge gang of crusader security chasing them from QD to QD unleashing hell as they go.

(Note: I'd totally do this to see how long I could hold out against all the police NPCs, could be fun PVP/PVE for small orgs too)

quote:

I hope it can be tied to the individual pulling the trigger. So if you have a crew member who goes off the deep end inside a turret and starts blasting a parked ship and the captain didn't want that to happen he could then turn in the mutineer.

If you would like to get down there and let me know where it is I'll be more then happy to allow you a peak. Real original comment though. I give you credit for that. I've never once heard about a stick in the rear end. That's an entirely new concept. If you have something of actual value to say, then come with it. If not, well the offer still stands to come try to find the stick. Maybe we can replace it with your head since you have such a wonderful understanding of who/what I am.

I like the simplicity of the stick. Your give off the stink of a writer who takes themselves very seriously. You respond to "drat get an editor" with an emotional outpouring. Get over yourself and focus on improving your work (which conveniently is outside of your self) is my point with the stick.

So in Jr college, I there was this guy that would say "Free scoop Friday!" (or a different version for whatever day of the week it was)
And then make a scoop shape with his hand and act like he was groping people.
Mildly creepy, but he was one of those guys that if you knew him then you knew it was just a twisted sense of humor, and he wasn't actually creepy.

Anyway, I read "scoop creep" and now envision that being a thing CR has a problem with.

This is "stating why you do what you do"? This is basically a meltdown letter split up into little pieces. You're (presumably) representing people besides yourself, would you send this to someone giving you crap via your site's "Contact Us" page?

Yes, you're in a business where people criticize every thing you do or don't do, and it's really stressful to get poo poo on when you did the best you could, but you still have an image to maintain. If you don't agree with what someone has to say, you can just say "Thank you, we'll keep that in mind" or "That sounds like a good idea". But putting on public record that you'll fling poo poo back whenever someone flings poo poo at you... well, that pretty much puts you on Sandi's level.

You know what, you're right. It can be hard to take criticism, especially when we are just starting out, but you have some very valid points. Especially the point about the contact page.

All bullshit aside thank you for the well worded and constructive criticism - I mean that. You're right.

As far as on the public record goes, it is what it is. If people want to use this against me/us in the future, they can do so. It's out there and that's on me. I won't retract it. All I can do is grow from the experience and ensure that I take criticism such as yours constructively and ensure that the proper lessons are learned. So in all sincerity, and I'll say it again, thank you. I hope you guys have a great night. .
