This says everything. It says everything you could ever want to know about The Plan.

It is being made up on the fly, subject to revision at any moment, totally lacking in focus or detail, completely couched in qualifiers ('maybe', 'sort of, 'i could see...', 'possibly...', 'or we might...', 'and then maybe also...'), poaching mechanics other games in real time, and with no coherent through-line. He showed up, read a question, blurted out whatever was running through his head in real time, and was satisfied he said something.

And he did, "THERE IS NO GAMEPLAN. THERE IS NO ROADMAP. HERE, HAVE SOME WORDS SO YOUR CONFIDENCE IN THE PROJECT HOLDS TRUE. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US WITH YOUR MONEY.'

This is my observation also, and yes this is the clearest example of him making poo poo up on the spot that I've seen so far. He's an open book on this answer, it's like listening to a child in the back of the car on the way home from the cinema. All the ideas and games and plans from the mind of a child which has just seen its first big exciting film.

Sandi and him are well suited, they're basically a pair of kids. She's as thick as gently caress and he's a total moron.

Are you serious? Tell me that doesn't work.
I have no reason to believe, hope, or wish that the game works sensibly, but please tell me that it's not put together that stupidly. :cripes:

Tbf, we broke the orbital strike mechanics in Dust514 in a similar way. A lot of game devs are dumb as bricks.

A hundred million dollar video game company made an anti-griefing system that punishes piracy and attacking other players by giving them a time-out in their rooms to spite one music loving griefer with a dancing cat avatar, which he broke by glitching through the walls and later adjusting the clock on his own computer.

Everything I just said is objectively true. What a world we live in.

I'm going to do the only sensible thing: succeed at my SAN roll, ignore or rationalise away the fact that this happened, and continue in a state of ignorant bliss.

I think someone really key is leaving, that's the only reason why there'd be such a long lead and why Derek would need to sit on it.

That's what I assumed to be the likely scenario. Either that or the FBI is doing that thing where they creep up to the building so slowly that CIG hasn't registered their presence and tomorrow they are going to pounce. I thought it was interesting that he mentioned federal institutions the other day though, albeit in an offhand sort of way.

It feels so good to be so bad.....at posting.

My prediction on Derek's blog, it'll be delayed by Legal (he chewed Derek's notes up) and then when it finally does unlock it'll just be "It's all going to end, TWO WEEKS!".

Then Derek quietly releases the real story a week later with no fanfare.

Please let this turn into a siege. Croberts and wife are desperately trying to open the vault in the basement and can't because Chris changed the access code in a cocaine-fuelled fit of arm-waving. Derek Smart is crawling through the vents, muttering promises to say "Yippee-ki-ay, motherfucker" in two weeks time. The police try to break into the building with an armoured car, only to be foiled by Lando and Money rolling Ben out of a window, crushing the APC.
