To put things in to perspective,

a playtest that will require about 100 testers (four full instances).

That is a .00007% sample size roughly if the member accounts total is to be believed.

Things are looking up up up.

"The Final Parpdown"

(ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one)

We're pledging together,
But still all for nil.
And maybe we'll charge back
For Derek, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to game
We're clipping through ground (clipping through ground)
Will I ever t-pose again?

It's the final parpdown.
The final parpdown

Oh!

We're heading for Sandi (Sandi)
And I'm scared as hell
'Cause maybe Ben seen us (seen us)
And eat us all whole.
With so many jpegs to sell
And bugs to be found (to be found)
I'm sure that Chris is scamming us all.

It's the final parpdown...
The final parp down [2x]

The final parp down
Oh!

It's the final parp down
The final parp down [2x]

It's the final parp down
We're crying together
The final parp down
Where my money go.
It's the final parp down.

Oh!
It's the final parp down.

Well maybe that's the reason they don't let Ben travel as much as he would like? He already occupy 2 seats so that is double the cost and not to count the food allowance. They are indeed frugal,!

Yes. I setup mine to retrogame. Old C64 and ZX Spectrum games are better than Star Citizen.

I think they lower or raise the artificial floor after a sales spike so that it's less noticable.

im optimistic backer i_stil_believe_in_cig. i first started watching Around the Verse when i was only in for $500. by $2000 i got really obsessed with the concept of "pipelines" and tried to channel them constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "refactoring" and "going back to the concept stages" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "open" style of development was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "back" Star Citizen to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

The graph really does behave in a very strange way. CIG have some how worked out how to get backers to perfectly spread out their purchases so that they buy almost exactly the same value of stuff every day. Not only that, but the perfectly spread purchases precisely double after the sale.

I'm not sure how you achieve this without some form of mind control.
