Where did this stuff about death threats come from? I can't believe anyone here is sending death threats, and if they are, get out.

To the best of my knowledge, no goon here has ever sent anyone a death threat over Star Citizen, CIG employee or otherwise. That's a pretty popular narrative with autists who think we're gonna magically destroy their game with shitposts though, so I'm not surprised it spread around a bit.

I was wondering... what would the Matrix be like if it had been coded by CIG?

Would people on the street tell each other "so what if the sun is jittering, that's perfectly normal" and Cypher insist on getting more wax steaks that fly apart in a million pieces when you stick a fork in them?

It would be a constant loop of deja-vu for everyone in the system. "It's a glitch in the matrix - it happens when they change something." With all the constant "refactoring" the Matrix would be an unending stream of cats. Not unlike this thread.

They'll blindly follow whatever narrative Chris provides. Probably publishers, or how the failure is okay because at least people tried and you can't touch the stars if you don't jump or something.

I disagree.

Beer seems like exactly the same cool, humble, evenhanded person as he was before. Recall that he was the ordinary human being contrasted in that LEVEL article about those loving crazy assholes Chris Roberts and Derek Smart.

Beet however, is handing out probations left and right, and hasn't posted a single picture of Kayak since being modded. I'm not necessarily saying the thread couldn't use some moderation, but it definitely is a change since Derek didn't even know what the mod buttons were for and needed about three months to learn how to change the thread title.

I checked the Lepers Colony and Beet has probated 2 people since becoming a mod. Both for sixers. Beer is at about the same. It really is crazy probations left and right, just out of control!

Yes but my probations were chill and good, while Beet's probations weren't accompanied by pictures of his epic dog. It's a very subtle but important difference.

My point stands about it still coming across as a shock, as Derek was more "honorary" mod than anything else. He literally didn't do anything except Warlord.

Yeah, but Beet's also not posted any pictures of his dog and that's a pretty serious concern for us.

Beer and Beet are both pretty cool, but they need to make sure they don't neglect their other responsibilities now that they're mods.

Overall though, I support their promotion to moderators mostly because they have very similar names.

No, some deeply rooted Angst about masturbation combined with suicidal thoughts makes him lash out and say these things. It's not his fault, it's a compulsive behaviour. We should all support him as best as we can. I do however expect a dozen more posts about jerking off and death threads in various forms. Hand drawn pictures using your own feces and other forms of expression are very common in these cases.

Alas, it seems the anarchic utopia that was Derek Smart's House of Star Citizen Obsessive Insanity was not meant to last. Probation-happy vengeance hath come to this thread, the community of obsessiveness will die off slowly, but surely, and Marching Powder will smile ear to ear as all of creation falls around us.
