Strange that no one has posted the patch notes, or there has been much chatter about the FPS stuff (or really any other part of the patch). Citizens love to feel like insiders, and having special access to stuff (even MOMA does it). So you'd think one of them would be only too happy to let us know how much fun they are having and what we are missing out on. Even if it's only to gloat over the Derek and the doubters. I guess we will see in two weeks, if we are any closer to release. It will be quite a test of faith.

LOL.

I don't give a gently caress about LoD.

I just think someone has to call out Derek on his endless bullshit. I honestly thought he was growing as a person, until his little bitch fight with FAU caused me to reevaluate. He's the exact same rear end in a top hat he was 15 years ago, telling his customers they're too stupid to play his games and blaming German-language video drivers on bugs he can't fix. It's rich of him to call out SC for being a piece of poo poo - he would definitely know poo poo space video games.

He'll also go to any length to make himself look like the best source of SC news, when his blogs are largely just recycled from other user's posts from this thread. I trust TheAgent a million times more than Derek.

He will also never admit to a single mistake. Doxxing or not, posting personal information about a forum user (ANY user) as a MODERATOR was definitely a no-no. But he's too weak and childish to ever do the mature and responsible thing and just say he screwed up and it won't happen again. Instead it's a giant conspiracy against him by SC backers. He's Saint Derek.

Honestly, I think it's pathetic that he has a fan club of enablers who constantly tell him how great he is and beg him to go Full Warlord on demonstrably mentally ill Shitizens.

In short, gently caress Derek.

And before anyone reports this as off-topic, Derek has chosen to be fully associated with everything Star Citizen. Beyond that, just look at the subforum's name.

Well, since you're one of the prime enablers in the Greenies and administrator of his Smart Community, you certainly would be one of the first to defend him.

Star Marine is 86 weeks late. Remember: Weeks, not months or years.

That's actually only 0.165 decades which is a number smaller than 1, the smallest number, so it's actually fine

Look man, I've been here when the original rants against him happened in this thread's predecessors well over a year ago. It's a dead horse that's been beat into meat jelly by now. Derek is a complete and total clown and if anyone unironically uses his 'Internet Warlord' title as denoting that he's any kind of 'badass,' I am the first to laugh my rear end off at that as hard as at any SC thing that happens.

But here's the clincher - his gimmick is actually entertaining! poo poo, doxxing or not, his constant blueballing or not, the guy commits to this shtick and hilarity follows him wherever he goes. Now, you're certainly free to go 'Imma callin' you out!' right along the circus troupe, but the fact remains that unless you go completely insane yourself, you'll never upstage the main attraction that is the Internet Warlord Derek Smart (esquire).

Please keep this in mind as you continue to carepost about him while shouting "I don't even CARE if I care!"

Imagine the fuss if in an update to Battlefield 1 which they hyped as having loads of bug fixes and new features, EA instead released an upgrade to Origin and tried to pass it off as a big deal.

Calling Derek an Internet Warlord as satire just normalizes real warlords and is contributing to many of the problems we face today.

I think the title of internet warlord loses a bit of the golden shine when you have to self declare it instead of being awarded it by common consensus.
