Yes, I have walked along the path of evil many times, it's a twisting curving path, that actually leads to a charming block garden, but beyond that evil!

I may not believe in many things, like God and the existance of babies, but there's one thing I stand by: kill 'em all. #13,278

Wait, out of 150 people dead none of them were Americans? That's the worst terrorist attack ever. You'd have to be the unluckiest terrorist in the universe to demolish an entire city block and not kill any Americans. #19,219

SA enjoys making GBS threads on lovely human beings. And while arguments have been made that Ben is nice IRL before, the truth of it is more than apparent that he's far moreso the 'nice guy' sort of nice (and with even less spine than is usual for such and moreso being pathetic). In the end he very much so is a lovely human being for dismissing any kind of concern (no matter how legitimate) that has to do with actual community handling and then basically letting people like DickWulf run out any woman backer from their community without any action taken and the women being the ones probated/punished/in one case banned from a RL event, solely because a) Those stalkers happen to be huge whales and b) He probably felt sympathetic to them, now that we can see exactly what sort of person he not only was but still likely is.

So gently caress him and gently caress you too for thinking that fat waste of space should be defended as opposed to called out by this point for the utterly unqualified lump of lard he is.

And I have heard stories Ban had a healthy bit of scammer in him pre CIG.

I believe in Chris Roberts' dream. All you wannabe critics should just shut the gently caress up until you have made anything approaching the greatness of acclaimed Chris Roberts projects such as Lord of War or Privateer

He has a consistent record of delivering on time and within budget, at the same time challenging the limits of what others believed possible. It's our fault - and the fault of the publishers standing in his way - that we only now get to witness the entirety of his capabilities.

People making GBS threads on Star Citizen by pointing to examples of other games' development make themselves victim to two fallacies. First, they mistake the ordinary turbulence inherent to the creative process with underlying management issues. Many other games have shown us that we cannot expect a smooth ride towards our objective, but that the wait is almost always worth it. It's inherently dishonest to judge Star Citizen by other standards.

Second, Star Citizen has a scope and a vision beyond any of that we have ever witnessed. There is no staked-out path for CIG to choose - instead they are forced to map every crossroads they encounter. In years we will be talking about the pre- and post-Star Citizen generations of game development. It is therefore dishonest to judge Star Citizen by other games' standards.

I hope that we can shift our discourse to a more constructive tone, shelving the entitlement and rage issues that so many posters suffer. It is our place to affirm and support CIG in its efforts, not to throw twigs in their cogwheels and be upset when they bend or break.

Thank you for reading, community that I am part of

Sorry guys, I’m tired of this. It’s not fun for anyone but your group and it’s tedious for anyone else posting to the forums. The level of toxicity the users posting to this thread adds to the forums is not acceptable.
I am absolutely bored with the insane levels of smug pretense happening here. It’s not fooling anyone (other than regular users already keyed up about ‘Goons’ playing the same game as they are, and you sure showed them! Take that, pubbies!) and it’s just so uninteresting. “We’re just standing up for the little guy! Help we’re being oppressed! Etc.!” I have some good news for you: you’re a regular forum user and you don’t need to stand up for anybody. You don’t run the place. That’s the moderation staff’s job, and if they suck at it then I will fire them.

They don’t suck at it right now, though. Your constant baiting isn’t changing my mind about that, it’s making me feel sorry for the group of people I put in the position of having to deal with you. It’s really, really obvious what’s happening, and no number of lengthy PMs about your views on how moderation is supposed to work are going to change that. The level of disrespect here is outrageous; absolutely no one believes you’re really here with obnoxious rule-skating signatures and stupid parody account avatars because you’re incredibly concerned with how a particular forum’s moderation works.

But if that is a genuine worry: if Toast bans someone for being a Goon instead of for being an rear end in a top hat, let me know (via PM, not endless toxic thread) and I will fire Toast. Until that happens, this is just tiresome and makes the forums look bad to everyone. (And this is just a gut feeling, but maybe the moderator bias that you all claim to be so worried about above anything else in the universe would be more obvious to me if absolutely anyone other than the people posting to this thread were contacting me about it?)

I will say that this is in no way a condemnation of all “Goons.” In following the Star Citizen threads at SA, it’s clear there are lots of Something Awful users who are interested in/excited about Star Citizen. You aren’t being haunted by some EVE reputation that you pretend to know nothing about… you’re giving the group a bad name right here (literally, in the name of your thread.) But of course you know that. SA is full of entirely reasonable people (myself included) who do all kinds of interesting things. Endless forum “shitposting” and trying to get moderators/staff fired isn’t one of those interesting things.

Thread closed.

Good one. You sure stuck it to us by telling us we are toxic.

Heres an idea Ben, look at other companies running forums. Look at Blizzard, or Gearbox, The guys behind Path of Exile...

Then take a look at your forum. Whats the difference in moderation?

Ill give you a hint: The other companies welcome open criticism. It helps them take a look at real community feedback. They dont move everything to a "concern" forum that is neglected and never looked at.

Your forum, on the other hand, is filled with "Moderators" who ban people for bringing up ACTUAL concerns with the game(lol). The people you chose to actively watch the forums are among the worst mods i have ever seen. "Every post must have a poll! Or your thread gets deleted!" what in the actual loving hell. Most of those polls are bombarded by poll bots to make everything look incredibly favorable towards the game and allows 0 opposing opinions. But then again, when your "game" is a loving scam thats preying on mentally challenged idiots who shouldnt be allowed to have access to their own bank accounts, i guess its in your best interest to make sure no one ever speaks ill of your "product" that will never get released. Please, go back to CiG and tell them you failed. It would make my day to see the reaction on Chris' and Sandi's face.

I'm sorry -- the Book of Loaf is a laundry list of S.J.W. Unforgivable Sins and if CIG thinks they'll sweep this under the rug and do The Escapist Shuffle on this they're going reap the whirlwind.

I can't recall a single story in gaming history with the built in potential energy that this one has. Even if the gaming press keeps playing Hamlet, it doesn't matter anymore. I'm not talking about Book of Loaf specifically-- I mean the whole thing including it. It's made of the kind of stuff that a seasoned pro (Atlantic, NY Times, etc.) could fashion an absolute masterpiece from-- the water cooler story of the season. The one that bags them millions of clicks and serves up as many high-dollar ads for luxury watches and vehicles and vacations in the process. It's not just an odd gaming story-- the scale of it, the enormity of it defies such dismissals.

It's hilarious, heartbreaking, eye-popping madness at this point and what is perhaps most amazing about it is that it's all right there. The gold is everywhere-- glistening in the riverbed, gleaming through the dust. This is 1848 at Sutter's Mill kind of stuff... You barely need a mining or refinement operation -- the nuggets need only be picked up, pocketed, melted down and fashioned into a treasure.

I don't know when it happens but that it will happen is inevitable now. And when it finally breaks -- really breaks big -- you'll hear the annoyed signs of gaming journos everywhere as they realized they'd been walking over it, swimming above it for years and they missed it. It was their beat, their homeland-- and they missed it.

Yet again, they missed it.
