The poo poo he wrote is diabolical for sure.Alexis is the person who has to pick them shattered pieces up from this.CIg probably,more then likely will try sweep this poo poo under their enormous carpet pile.If they wheel ben out on their best YouTube video it confirms they literally don't give a gently caress and that anyone is game to be thrown under the bus.

FWIW, i've received the refund via Twin Bros as well.

You all keep asking the wrong questions. And allowing an attorney who is, by nature, obfuscate stuff all the time, to lead.

These are the correct questions to ask.

1) Does Steven Kam work for CIG?

2) Is Steven Kam "Toast" on CIG?

3) How is it that once MoMa was accused of having CIG duplicated in his LinkedIn entry, it was immediately fixed (I had a refresh alert on it using a Chrome plugin; so I caught it)?

4) If Steven Kam isn't Toast and Toast isn't MoMa, how/why did the change in #3 above happen?

5) If #4 is a no-go, why did Jared bother to mention in a public Tweet, that Toast was his room mate? What's the relevance?

Note also that Toast has a post on CIG forums in which he explains why he has two profiles there. One as a contractor/employee, one as a backer.

Note also that if Kam is Toast then it stands to reason that, as a fan, and room mate of Jared, he would still be around, regardless of whether or not he is on the payroll.

Note also that Jared posted that Toast had been "promoted". Again; all within the span of 48hrs of me trying to tie MomA to Toast

I don't care what anyone says, it's him.

So have we guessed that MOMA was Crobberts (Crump Flaps, Crib Crobs, etc... A.K.A. Many aliases)?

Just got to the hilarious feud between Derek and (maybe) Company man/person :laffo:



Although I already once stated they I am NOT Toast, I really think you guys need to give it up already. This is the reason the thread was locked once already, and speculating more about it will lead no where. Plus, that isn't what this thread is about.

How 'bout them hawks news huh!
What the ever-loving gently caress?

I have a friend whom I often joke around with, and we both drop some wildly inappropriate jokes to each other. But here's what we don't do:

Make a loving website dedicated to them.

We crack the jokes between the two of us, in the comfort of knowing that neither of us support the opinions or world views behind the jokes (that is often half the joke, the absurdity of the statement). That totally works and isn't really a problem when it's so very internal.

But when you put it on the world wide goddamn web, someone somewhere is gonna miss the "I'm just joking brah" angle of it all.

Anyone but the most rabid fanboy would see why this is literal seppuku for any community manager.

If you look closely, the notes on the right-hand column are saying the exact same thing as the left-hand column, but with the usual marketing hyperbole.

- "Over 40 ships total in the game" becomes "using modular ships, PO will be able to have over 4000 combinations" - Right, but Freespace already mention you can outfit the ships. So you haven't really said how many ships you're gonna have.

All the bullet points are like that. They try to come across as "we'll have that but better" and all it really comes off as is stupid.

Did anyone send Ben quotes to Batgirl?

I might be a crusty old internet person who has said some vile poo poo in my time, but even going back and looking at it from the perspective of my younger self, even I couldn't fathom the hosed uppitude of what Ben wrote. I see some of the shills in this thread trying to derail Ben-ghazi already but it isn't gonna work fuckers. The public face of your company just got caught saying extremely bad poo poo as an adult who should know better.

I think this is going to be a very interesting next few days if what EightAce and Derek seem to think will happen happens. I have no idea what the hell it is, but goddamn am I looking forward to finding out! Star Citizen truly is the best game I've never spent any money on and never played due to its ability to produce endless entertainment.
