KiddieGrinder posted:I couldn't quite parse it either. Nah, he's a brand. If you'd been around long enough, you already knew about desktop commander, battlecruiser, the Take-Two debacle, the Algernon bullshit, etc. Say Derek Smart to most people and they'll know who he is. We just know him in greater detail from his history and things he says here. Brand IS reputation. Any one of those things you could entirely overlook as an isolated incident, but there's a pattern here. KiddieGrinder posted:And I don't know if you equate giving Derek a refund to getting "rid" of him, but it didn't work in either case, it just made Crobberts look bad. They tried to pin it on him trying to advertise his game, but he wasn't and pretty much never has in all of his talk about Star Citizens failings. CIG I'm sure wanted to get rid of Derek Smart's allegations (because they're all true), but trying to silence him and effectively ban him from the game had the complete opposite effect. Your world is kinda fun, but it comes down to the concept of a 'customer relationship'. If you're refunded, there's no damage and no recourse. This is why everyone is loving dumb to assume that Derek is doing anything more extensive than attempting to cause noise with the feds and/or organizing a class action based on other people's money. If they hadn't refunded him, he could have started litigation, as it is, he can't. Two weeks. KiddieGrinder posted:Yeah it seemed like a "methinks the lady doth protest too much" sort of moment. I wonder if it was Sandi who got pissed off first, then told Crobbers if he didn't write a ten page diatribe against Derek he didn't have any balls, or something like that. No, that was a late night diatribe. It's the kind of thing that I'd personally re-read in the morning and delete rather than publishing, mainly because it's loving retarded to throw out a rebuttle like that without a long conversation about the aim. It was the Escapist that prompted that, it was Derek being refunded that prompted the Escapist. alf_pogs posted:i think this is what that poster meant by derek's "brand" - his public image, his attitude and the way he carries himself online. Nail on the head there, but again, Bobbers was rebutting the Escapist. He refunded Derek to remove the business relationship because that would suck the oxygen out of any further debate, as it is, they never entirely addressed the burn rate, which is why we still talk about it.

So, speaking of scams.... I have been gone for a few days, cause I have been dealing with a scam artist who took my friend for about $4,000. He is on tons of medication and have been off it for months, spending his money on her instead.  Three words: Ukrainian Bride Scam I went full internet detective on her. Had all the tale tale signs: Personal info changing from website to website, different birthdays, job titles, and hometowns. I dug up enough information to basically contact the company and tell them to cut it out, keep the money, but leave my friend alone. Suddenly she didn't want to talk after that. I feel horrible, really low, but now at least he can afford his medicine again. Terrible people in the world. EDIT: Was considering doing a full write up on it with photos, all the info I gathered, etc, but I would need an OK from a mod to doxx her, even a creep like her.

‘I remember how it started; I remember the day my life changed. June 7th, 2917. I was six years old, in Primary, and our Teacher asked us a question. THE question. The most important question anyone has to answer, ever. What do you want to be when you grow up? the Teacher asked us, its vocal tubes humming. A veritable bevy of hands shot up; young, impressionable minds ready to spout out answers. My hand shot up as well. How could it not? I was excited, we all were. An instant later, the answer order had shot up on the monitor at the front of the class. Tichondrius, Timmy for short, was first, as usual. His cybernetic arm was only fractions of a second faster than a normal arm, but when the order is drawn up by a GNP targeting system, every fraction of a second counts. Timmy was always first to answer, and oh how he lorded it over the rest of us, us “mere mortals” as he’d lovingly laugh. I want to be a Pirate! he yelled, beaming. He got to Pirate first, and now no-one else in the class could pick it too. Everyone had to be something special. Who would want to be what someone else wanted to be? It just would not work. And so along through the class we went. Pirate, Pilot, Tracker, Doctor, Miner, Racer, on and on and on. Cyberneticist, Exobiologist, Explorer. Everyone in the class had a plan; something they wanted to be. Molly wanted to be a Starliner captain; Molly stole my first dream. It’s what I had wanted, but she’d gotten there first. Fine, I thought. Fine, if I can’t be a Starliner captain, I’ll be a...a...a Merchant! Jahnus beat me to that. Merchants are too rushed anyway, I thought, slowly. Who wanted to be a Merchant. A Mechanic was what I REALLY wanted to be. The excitement, the devotion, the people you’d get to meet! Thint beat me to that. Mechanics get all dirty, I thought, mollifying myself. Such hard work, and EVA’ing is dangerous. Not for me. No, no, what I really wanted to be was a...a Marine! Samsa beat me to that. A Policewoman! Cansas beat me to that. An info runner! An Engineer! A...a Gunner? A Cook? A Janitor? Beat me to it, beat me to it, and beat me to it. And then it was my turn. My name turned a pale blue on the monitor. I was last, as usual. I was busy racking my small mind, trying to think of something that had not yet been taken; trying to think of what no-one else wanted to be. The class turned and stared at me, the Teacher analyzed me, I started to cower, started to shake. Just a little, but it would get worse. It always got worse. I had to answer; had to think of something. I want to be a Garbage woman! I blurted without thinking. And that was it. That was the most important moment in my life. Oh, sure, you might laugh. Who wants to be a garbage woman? Well, look at me today. Twenty-seven years later, I own a half-dozen Reclaimers and a fleet of Freelancers. I have seventy-five pilots working under me, garbage men and women all. They’re like a family, they’re all like me. They must have had that same fateful day too; that day where others slowly pick their dreams away from them, one by one. So I take them in, make sure they’re safe. And they are. Because you know what happens to everyone else? Marines, they get shot. Police, info-runners, gunners, merchants, pirates, they all get blown up. Doctors and Mechanics get raided. Cooks and Janitors get airlocked for slights. Who notices the humble garbage woman? No-one. Not until they’re floating, derelict and abandoned, and the claw on my Reclaimer sloooowly crushes through their life-support systems. And then they clamour, and they bluster and they cry, and they offer me money, and power, and fame. And you know what I say, every time?’ ‘PLEASE! Please, we, we have money, we can...you can have the ship! You can have my life’s savings! Just let us... ‘Every time, I say the same thing. I’m just taking out the trash.’ I love the vibrations as the claw closes slowly. I can’t hear it, can’t hear the cracks and groans of the metal; can’t hear the screams of those inside either, not anymore. I’ve shut off the comms. But the vibrations...they run through the whole of the Halcyon, my Reclaimer slowly picking the Merchant derelict apart, piece by piece. I’ve been asked before, why I do it. Their offers of money, of cargo, why I don’t take them. I’d make more money taking their valuables than I do salvaging their ships. But why should I? Why should I let them continue? They stole my dreams from me. The Pirates, the doctors, the marines. The police, the mechanics, all of them. They stole my dreams from me, left me a Garbage woman. I’m just taking out the garbage. My primary school classmates too were forced to pick exclusive careers from an ever dwindling list aged six
