Another ATV, another new hire.

Erik Link is their associate technical animator. This is his second day on the job. And I'm just assuming he may the guy brought in to help break the log-jam on all those animations they've recorded over the last two years that have just piled up, for want of a talent to get them into the game.

Remember way back when Star Marine was "weeks not months" away and the only 'blocker' was all the animations needed a little retooling. Good times.

Okay, I am going to serious answer: What made you think posting a recording of you abusing a lowly representative was a good idea?

"She's frustrated as she should be... consumer representatives are shields for those above them" ... so let me be a spergy confrontational rear end in a top hat about it.

If that's you then you're a horrible person.

I'll respond to this honestly. I worked on that side, customer phone support for Apple for 5 years. T2. I know what its like. So I know i was rude, to a degree. So I get what youre saying. I do.

But here's the thing this was a. about the 10th time in 42 hours I had to call them. B. The information being given was continually false. Not there fault, I know. C. It was recorded in order to prove a point, that the greendot CEO was lying when he said cards are not being effected. There's a lot more to this issue then has been discussed here. Just read the tweets on the video.

With that in mind, I do feel a bit bad. As I've been on the other end of it. I really do. But to say I abused? No. I didn't cuss her out, say racist poo poo, etc. All things I know they put up with. I was forceful. Sure. But sometimes you have to be. I wish the situation was different but there's a reason Wal mart/greendot are currently being sued. As the cards are still down. And have been since Monday. Look into it, its not pretty.

So call me an rear end in a top hat. Tell me I suck. Thats fine, and maybe I am and I do. But this was to prove a point. That when the CEO says that no one is being effected he was lying. If I could go back and do it with less force, or confrontation, i would. But it is what it is and I won't apologize for trying to prove the little man is getting hosed by a multi billion dollar corp.

Maybe you're okay with that. I'm not. And never will be.

Look you don't like me. Good for you. Go look into the Wal mart issue. Then wonder why this happened.

And sorry, but when to separate reps state "yes its effecting the ability to use the card", plus the other recordings we have from yesterday saying the same things, then yes the point has been proven.

Sorry your own bias towards me makes you think what they are doing is okay. But this isn't the place. I recommend you read this http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-green-dot-walmart-20160518-snap-story.html

Particularly the part regarding the CEO.

I don't expect you to like me or my methods, but don't try to pretend like they're somehow worse then thousands being left unable to access their cash and being lied to about it.

Nah, I don't like posting in gbs, to be honest.

Now, where the gently caress did I even suggest that I think that what they are doing is ok? It's not. The CEO will obviously deny a problem like that (only guys like you are unable to grasp this kind of behavior) and there is no need to post a recording of you drilling some poor schmuck to provide "proof" that water is wet.

And, believe it or not, me liking or disliking you has nothing to do with it. If :pgabz: had posted that same thing I would have also thought of him to be an rear end in a top hat. But he wouldn't do so because, first, he's not an rear end in a top hat and, more importantly, he is not an idiot who seems to be unable to grasp why would it be a bad idea to post something like that.

The Star Citizen Disaster
By McGoonagall

T'was in the dark year of 2016
That for Star Citizen the backers were most keen,
Despite the constant heckling of goons and villains
Chris Roberts raked in yet more millions
Sandi acted in dramatic fare
And for exorbitant new studios, the backers had no care
Mark Hamill extolled the virtues, that Star Citizen's rivals lack,
Truly, it was to compare "Plan 9" to "Empire Strikes Back"

But alas by the 31st of May
The Original Terms and Conditions were broken, like the Railway Bridge of Tay
DEREK SMART exulted in his ELE
and he and his goons danced in revelry
Not since the cavorting of foul Hecate
Or the Something Awful Forums in 2003
Had such horrible sights been there to see

Proud Lesnick, Io to Roberts' Jove,
and DiscoLando, a rambunctious Cove
Took to Reddit to answer the backer's plea
That Star Citizen would soon release- as an MVP

B'tak felt grief, and Humility felt hollow
In the Brown Sea the cultists wallowed
Many refused to believe, others found it funny
After all, they had only committed their disposable money
Some even committed themselves to a noble slog
As they tried to read all of Derek Smart's latest blog

Chris Roberts hands waved, but not fast enough.
The FTC took him in, wearing handcuffs.
In 2017, on the first monday in the month numbered 9,
A date that will be remembered for a very long time
Chris Robert's stood in court, his wife at his side,
Lesnick in the aisle, as the chairs were not wide.
A witness at the box, wore a t-shirt labelled 3000AD
( A date not yet used in any of my poetry)
He listed the corruptions, he had heard through leaks
His account was extensive. It lasted two weeks.
The laundering and embezzlement, time did not diminish
When objected to by the defence, he said "Let Me loving Finish"

The Moral of the tale, was that too many Kickstarters it seems
Go to fund not real projects, but impossible dreams
So before you commit your income disposable, to a game the greatest billed
Remember those Star Citizens, and the grief with which they are filled.

Brilliant.
