"If you don't find rape hilarious, you're a sensitive crybaby."
The very basis of their fundraising seems to have been that the game will be whatever you want to to be.

What it will turn out to be is a series of badly directed cutscenes interspersed with dull and derivative gameplay that doesn't bear any similarity to anybody's fantisies other than Chris/Sandi/Ben.

Three people were voluntold to perform in the Star Citizen Cookie Mod Challenge, and three more volunteered. Of the voluntolds two decided not to participate and are subsequently doomed to be probated. The third, Xarael, valiantly put up a fantastic entry and won the drat thing with cat drugs. Of the three volunteers two put up entries and Tijuana Bibliophile demonstrated he was more of an ideas guy who couldn't execute.

So, the aftermath:

Tijuana Bibliophile will be BANNED for his inability to make cookies.

Xarael has the option to select another cookie maker (Spacetoaster, Fatkraken, or himself) to also be banned. Alternatively, because Beet and I are arbitrary and capricious, we agree that if Xarael wants he can choose to UNBAN Tijuana Bibliophile.

These decisions will be implemented as soon as Xarael decides and we get around to it.

That seems like an awful lot of important people to be hiring this late in the game

19 from Engineering?

16 Art types? That's all they produce is art work, and they need MORE?

I guess either so many are leaving they can't replace them fast enough,or Crobberts wont be happy until he has 500 people under his will and whim

In the 16 months since July 2015, CIG have hired five Artists and four Programmers/Engineers, or rather reduced their "Current Positions Available" by those numbers.

E: and they now want four new Marketers

Yea theres only a few options to have that many open spots. Honestly all those open spots can make a large near AAA game in their own right.

A. They want to expand to 400+ people.

B. They are firing/laying off a fuckload of people and want to replace them. (moving jobs to other studios)

C. Turnover is insanely high.
