Solarin posted:I adore when the sunk costers face the paradox of 'for ship real life value to increase in the game's launch, then the game will have to be an excruciating grind. If the game is an intolerable grind nobody will play it and ships will be worthless and I'll be a high status loser in a dead game'. Exactly. It's happening right now. Look at The Division - a fun shootyman concept in a fidelitious setting which has seen the game designers bent over and buttfucked by Spergs using any means possible to hammer the endgame in pursuit of loving gloves and holsters!

The current free fly event looks like it'll be about 2/3 as successful as the previous one in terms of new accounts. Both free fly events had basically 0 impact on revenue as far as I can tell.

Second question - you pointed out the 15k data point a while ago, and then later said it fell off/the total decreased but you didn't have hour to hour specifics. How did you spot the change? Can a daily total fluctuate several days after the fact?

Wise Learned Man posted:Elodie Yung will play Sandi. She looks like Sandi wishes she used to look like, while actually being as young as Sandi pretends to be now. The whole point of Sandi's character in the Star Citizen movie would be exactly that she is pretending to be younger. You don't go to the side of the scale where you pick an actress younger than her, you pick one older. Get someone that looks somewhat good but is obviously late 40s or so, and then have her pretend to be 10-15 years younger. (Christa Miller is 52, have her claim to be 30-35 and use head shots from the drew carey show for everything) Have a riveting scene where she shows up to a casting call with a head shot from the last millennium and someone calls her out on it. You have to get a good actress to mix the subtle desperation with the psychotic swings though, so Sandi wins in the end. The only person that could play her part in life is someone who can act!

I don't get why they are doing free fly weekends if the game is in the state it appears in the  videos.If they had a mostly solid vertical slice then that would make some sense, but from what I've seen looks like it's only going to decrease confidence in those who haven't bought in already and make them wait until the game is finished.

You need to subtly convince her that your account's UserID in the database is 424242 and inhabited by an powerful machine spirit (pick dead ultra-rich and well known capitalist god... probably Steve Jobs) which will undermine her enemies social media actualization ability and boost her energy crystal focusing potentialities. It will even harmonize with her blessed chip amulet and compel Gary Oldman and Gillian Anderson accept Sandi's superiority

SQL Divination Sessions start at $400 per query and tell her you are booked out six months but can move her up at the express 3x rate. You can do this, the power is WITHIN YOU just FOCUS and CREATE the reality you desire (Sandi's money becomes your money)

Solarin posted:Hey Bov, can you talk a bit about how you're collecting this? It's not from the public google docs spreadsheet right? Originally I wanted to try to figure out how many purchases were coming from whales versus "ordinary" backers, so I set up some polling of the funds/fleet/"fans" at finer than 1 hour intervals (the idea being that fewer purchases would be lumped into each data point, thus easier to disambiguate). Unfortunately this plan was made before I understood how the tracker was affected by melts, non-purchasing citizens, non-ship funding sources, the different update schedules for fleet counts and citizen counts, etc. so the original goal ended up being impossible. However, the current data is good enough to see when a large transaction comes in and to estimate trends. As for the troll/cancelled Completionist purchase, it ends up looking like this:  The raw funding increment is the difference in the funding tracker between successive updates. Note the large $15k spike and the later negative spike for nearly $15k. Since other purchases can fall into the update window, we don't expect those spikes to be exactly +/- $15k. If you check their funding tracker and ask for the "Day" history, you can get the totals for the last 7 days. I checked after April 17, and the day totals that they reported are what you would get if you cancelled out the original $15k purchase. Thus the day-to-day breakdown differs from what you would see in real time. i.e. if you were constantly watching their daily funding graph like a hawk, it would have changed to reflect the cancelled purchase.

hakimashou posted:Maybe they're hard up for money. That's pretty much the only answer at this point. If they had enough money they would just be content with whatever amount of people wanted to play it (or not even release this piece of poo poo in the first place and continue on with in house QA) But no they are doing ever increasing sales and "PLEASE PLAY THIS" events, precisely as money rumors surface. The whales are probably mostly dried up and they are desperately luring in more to feed the furnaces for 300 employees in 3 countries with 4 mocap studios and 0 other income. In no other sense does is it a good idea to get people to play their lovely tech demo. They should be embarrassed of it but it's all they have and they are trying to monetize it however they can.

Solarin posted:Don't rule out this as a possibility, I'm not kidding. The computer chip I wear on my neck contains an essence that gets recharged when I scam whales with a bro who has a pilgrim cross. It gives me confidence at work, home, social situations, etc ever since I was a child. Nobody knows it's a Scam chip but me and my bros. I have seen it glow with the number 42 while scamming with a bud thats how I know this is real. You can be on Reverse the Verse for as long as you want but I need a picture of your pubic region preferably wearing a pilgrim cross before I waste my time.
