ELE aside, the thing that is interesting to me is the re-organisation of the forums to be more backer friendly and genuinely open/useful.

Concern threads no longer have to have a poll and won't be closed for not having one and the developers questions forum is being made active again. What gives? Why are they loosening the gag here?

Those polls were a bit of a farce though - they typically had 2-figure response rates, occasionally 3-figure. The majority almost-always disagreed with the concern too......

I guess so, but this poo poo has been hosed for over a year - why now? They've needed positive PR forever. Bring on the ELE.

Gintama is my absolute favorite anime of all time

Episodes 1 - 15 can be somewhat slow feeling because they have to introduce an absolutely huge amount of characters

the animation and jokes only get better over time thuogh

Perhaps the 3 days thing is in reference to the leavers, if they get paid on the first/end of the month, today/tomorrow will be when the walkout will happen. Keep an eye on those LinkedIns!

Not really, using my thread catch-up method on mobile is a mess. You did see my future-post missive about Ryan Archer poo poo, right? That's the level of frustration that I feel right now. Compounded by the fact that I'm sitting on E.L.E. material that I am prevented from sharing.

So pissed right now. Meanwhile, people are foolishly still putting money into a project they are never - ever - going to get.

Just think of it this way ryan archer has drawn a backer-funded paycheck from CIG for how long now? It's one more thing croberts and co have done wrong, one more miserable slimy shitlord who has profited from this, one more reason to be contemptuous.

Also because he got paid to 'make art' he was literally selling jpgs makes u think.

That actually looks nice and functional!

Ponzi posted:

I'll have a guess at what I think this could be about. Bare in mind that this is entirely conjecture on my part:

Some kind of government agency or agencies have got involved, with a strong suspicion that something decidedly illegal has been happening at CIG. So a warrent has been issued compelling CIG and the other companies to hand over their accounts for forensic examination.

Somehow, Derek has got wind of this (either through a contact from within CIG, or a contact at the government agency), but he's not supposed to know, so can't say anything publicly. If he does, he'll be breaking the law (in the UK I think it's known as 'tipping-off', and is an offence).

Once concrete evidence of wrong-doing is uncovered by the agency, the poo poo will really hit the fan. CIG and it's associated companies will get closed down, and all bank accounts frozen. CIG will cease to operate as a going concern.

Possible illegal activities:
Theft of company funds. Or at least misappropriation of company funds. Spending 'development' money on fripperies such as overly-expensive coffee machines, and using company funds for personal gain for example.
Money-laundering via the black/grey market and/or melt/unmelt and gifting. Derek has mentioned a 'Swedish mafia' several times in the past. They could be behind many rabid 'sock-puppet' accounts that we see all over the internet, and also used to encourage the masses to ~~spend~~ pledge more.
Misrepresentation of the legal grounds on which CIG denies refunds, using scare-tactics to encourage backers to cease with the attempt to get their money back (basically saying that applying for a chargeback would be breaking the law).

Dunno if any of the above is sensible. It may be total poo poo. But hopefully we'll find out in time. Two weeks?

I've suspected something similar. Note that D_Smart has claimed he's had meetings with state AGs. But left it at that....

I've loved both of my gift avs (dead-eyed-sex-bot was a gift too) but it feels weird seeing myself in Daz pictures as Gary Oldman.

I've become addicted to being in the gif-av cool kids club though, so I'll have to find a beet that dances or some poo poo.

So here's the thought process from me. We'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume the Idris is actually done, and can be put in the hangar/game/whatever. I think the debate is likely closer to them deciding if they can do a limited, hangar-ready sale, and if it can net them any more money. Releasing one of their bigger and more hyped ships into the wild in the Crusader map is sure to drive up sales.

A second bit of is that it's possible they want to wait until they scrub the unmelt system to ensure that any new money being dumped into Idris-es is all new money.

The thing is, it's guaranteed to be completely gently caress-broken and unplayable in any kind of multiplayer instance. It's just too big, and they haven't solved the CryEngine level-size/ship-size restriction yet.

So now they need to completely re-write some big back-end poo poo, and they don't have enough devs with senior/architect chops to do it.

At least, that's the way I see it.

That's also possible. I don't think any existing hangars can support it, and unless they make a very special exception to add a mode that is literally just for Idris owners to view their glorious Chariot alone, it might be unfeasable to add it in any meaningful way to what's currently there.
