Also, whoever is probating Marching Powder is doing God's work. Next time maybe up that to a nice two week ban or something?
Maybe a mod challenge? Not a cruel one, just something where he has to go and do something fun and relaxing. MP always seems so uptight and angry about this stupid thread, it seems like he needs to be forced to go and chill out for a bit. Make him go for a nice walk by a river, or visit a petting zoo.

I think they backed down because the whole thing became a shitstorm of epic proportions and no one wants to get involved with any of that in their professional lives unless they are independently wealthy. Ultimately they could simply ignore Derek's futile demands and continue speaking to The Escapist or anyone else who would listen to them, no?
They chose, correctly IMO, to say "gently caress that noise" and get on with their lives.

Its not like it would have made any difference with the whales anyway, these guys are going down with the ship. loving hell, people are dangling from the propeller and lifeboats keep docking with the Titanic and bringing in more passengers.

Sources, Backed down? For fucks sake, it's all made up. Derek POSSIBLY had one low-level guy who leaked some bullshit two years ago, but CIG found out and fired him (and two others connected). Outside of that, it's all a bunch of made up drivel by a failed game dev who tries ever so desperately to remain relevant and in the spotlight. And for what? The dude is in his 50s; he should loving finish already and live his life free and clear of this mess or anything related to space sims altogether. Who the gently caress cares when CIG will deliver a game? People who look at it as a failure won't buy-in and will move on. Others will buy and will either learn a lesson or get lucky. None of that should matter to someone like Derek Smart Phd (non accredited), with the knowledge to create massive and complex MMOs. The only reason why I think you guys tolerated him for 6000 pages was to trawl him this far for your entertainment. Poor sap never understood . . .

Not to mention a lawyer allowing you to say "I'm trying to get them to sue me so I can dig through their records" would be disbarred. The case literally would have no chance with a high likelihood of contempt getting tossed at you for trying. In short derek is positively full of poo poo about some of this, and I kinda doubt he has a lawyer giving him advice. If he does that lawyer should absolutely be reported to the Florida bar so they can sort out if his lawyer is full of poo poo or he is.. just sayin.

MP will not be 'continually probated' for being a jerk. I can't speak to why Beer gave him a probation yesterday, but I gave him this one. As I said before, MP is free to poo poo on me/the thread/my dog/whatever as much as he wants, but throwing out insults at the mod team over the fact that I chose not to give him a probation yesterday is dumb. My genuine hope is to never have to give him a probation again.

As always, feel free to PM me about this if you want to talk about it.
