Ok assholes, I have some free time (at 2:00am, on a Monday!) so post them clues (or send me a PM) so that I can give it a shot because I have only been skimming this thread and I have no idea what they are besides some numbers posted by Derek and that cute catte pictures are involved somehow.

"The Centimeter" is actually based on the Library of Babel, which is a thing that actually exists and is quite scary to think about. And amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDrBIKOR01c&t=1020s is a good explanation for it.

HMMMM



We were watching Netflix earlier and decided on some Spartacus and in every one of Mira's scenes this was all I could see


Thanks Star Citizen.

All you need is Derek and Beer's posts, no cute cattes needed. Cattes are just a bonus. But you have to ask yourself - do you want to succeed? Can you handle the terrible secret of space?

You can't handle the truth!

Son, we live in a world that has games. And those games have to be coded by men with hands. Who's gonna do it? You? You, banditloaf? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for CIG and you curse Star Marine. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that CIG's death, while tragic, probably saved the industry. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves jobs...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that blog. You need me on that blog.

We use words like soon, parp, loving-finish...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent fabricating something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very paranoia and hype I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a keyboard and write some code. Either way, I don't give a drat what you think you're entitled to!

clue 1:

The secret is on the fourth wall.

clue 2:

....and so it came to pass that after searching high and low, he finally saw the signs on shelf 3

clue 3:

As was written in volume 11 of Genesis, when sons of man decided to construct what became the tower of Babel, God confounded their speech and scattered them to all corners of the Earth.

Wait, how does this even work?

Some galactic defender you are, Space Cadet.
Long con, meta-troll, disinfo agent or wishful thinker...

quote:

His sources are real, and they're also intentional. It's an ongoing thing that people in the CIG offices have set up, sort of like a 'volunteer as a source' deal, in which they can totally tell Derek whatever they want, as long as it fits the narrative, since the whole joke is sunk if Derek figures it out (which it seems like he did).

I asked around and didn't give any crap when it came to sizing up their plans, so a couple of staffers explained how things were handled and who Derek's sources were. That's essentially all his sources within CIG has been and ever will be - people volunteering to give him misinformation so that once the game's finally released, they'll all be standing there with the reputation of failed saboteurs.

Now, for the sake of keeping the sources semi-fresh, I'd like to not give specific names. Sure Derek's wiser now, but how long before he falls for another source that claims to be 'distressed over the unrealistic work demands'? I mean, he'll want more verification, but beyond that, it wouldn't help his narrative one bit if he started turning down the offered 'evidence' of impending doom.

I wanted to hold onto that pretty tight, but people started guessing with some alarming accuracy, so I wouldn't really be trolling much anymore if my intended targets (the newer breed of goons) started guessing the same as well.

Oh well...
Uh-huh.

The biggest false note here is the implication that Derek never had legit sources inside CIG- that the leaking was always a part of a company-endorsed initiative. That we know is false.

After all, those suspected sources got him some bonafide scoops, and a couple of them eventually got fired under suspicions of being Smart sources.

Now, I recognize this could be someone else's version of i_still_trust_cig so if I'm stepping on anybody's toes here, my apologies. But- while I don't believe the "all CIG sources are secretly sanctioned by management" bullcrap, I have at least entertained the possibility that CIG eventually wised up and started getting semi-Machiavellian in response. Sometimes the best way to combat leaks is with floods.

Derek Smart is a goddamn hero who's likely saved gamers tens of thousands of dollars (including goon bootcha's investment) by keeping them away from this shitshow, getting people refunds, and he put his name and face against this whole clusterfuck. Which meant daily abuse from Shitizens since, what, July?

here's the thing: if CIG are wasting time feeding derek bullshit, why don't have they have a great functional amazing game?

i don't need derek to tell me this game is a joke and project is absolutely doomed when i see videos of the "alpha".

You see, thats actually the long con. Derek Smart is working for Croberts and the real Star Citizen is launching on wednesday. It will be a glorious day for the world as we all... do stuff?

Or not, because Derek Smart hates fun and modders and no one should be supporting him becuase he supports Ryan Archer.

Mum and Dad wanted to fix up our house now that all the kids have moved out but the walls and roof are made of shittons of asbestos so they're quite limited in what they can do

When my Dad had a mini-stroke a couple years back he got his lungs CAT-scanned or MRI-ed or whatever and found out his lungs are awesome and good and healthy though, so he was happy about that! (He's a labourer and did lots of work with asbestos back in the day)

I had this moment of serendipity when the clues all of a sudden just fit, all the words just made sense, and I couldn't believe I even knew what the clues meant, but there it was, the secret revealed in front of my very eyes.

Derek, you just want to see the world burn, don't you? What will you do once everyone sees this?
