Welp, my refund is "actioned" today, after a month of waiting and followups, so hopefully I'll see my money back in 5-10 business days. ![]() ![]() I actually hope something gets released at some point, but I doubt it.

Agrajag posted:whatever happened to the fig startup poo poo? i want to laugh at that also Fig hasn't had long enough to generate any laughs yet, especially since their first few projects were super safe. But the SEC just put the new rules into place for crowdfunding-as-real-investment on Friday. The main sticker is that companies have a $1 million per year limit on how much they can take in from unaccredited investors. The main thing with them is, their structure for where the investment actually "goes" has no real backing. You're not investing in the company making the game, you're investing in a separate corporation set up to handle that single game. It's like they're making a new one-off publisher for each game. It's unclear what liability the actual game maker has if things go tits up, the guys who set it up clearly wanted to have as little as possible. Also everything like IP rights and future sequels stay completely in the hands of the developers. So even if you "invest" in what becomes the next major super-popular franchise, you only get profits from game #1. (The guys who set it up are mostly game developers so go figure.)

This thread has inspired me. These are the first two hits I found searching Google for 'paarrrrp': https://www.facebook.com/peterchristianoutfitters/posts/832047166820193 Which contained this gem: ![]() And the 2nd: http://www.roblox.com/games/51450683/paarrrrps-Place ![]() PU 1.0 is looking OK. Not sure what kind of JPEG that is parked in the hangar. This thread can do no wrong. ![]()

Bootcha did you get your money back yet or are you still making cat videos making fun of backers in for a fraction of what you invested?

Bootcha posted:Hahahahaha. Ahahahahahahaha Oh Karl. Karl you poor poor baby. Come on, it's that time. Time for you to get a refund. Clear your head, get some distance from this thing and just think about things for a bit. It'll feel really good not to have the spectre of the game's failure hanging over you. You can still buy the game if it's a big hit, but you can also avoid having to feel so very wedded to it's future. You have been so well and truly owned, just let go. Get a refund.

Listened to the Hawk interview and watched the Wingmans with Bootcha on it. So low key about everything and such a generous supporter of the early CIG crew. CIG doesn't deserve to have classy investors, Bootcha. But it does buoy the soul to know you've got the legal right to cause trouble- and that Chris and Sandi just can't fire, ban, or ignore you. I guess once you're out we can root for its failure without reservation. I nominate you to make the "Citizen Con" documentary the world desperately needs right now. Crowdfund it and I'm down for a donation. You throw Beer, Wingman, James, the Days, and the rest of the inside witnesses in (with Derek serving as the colorful outside provocateur), and you are only a couple of years away from taking the Audience Prize at Sundance.

A bit back someone dumped a load of linkedin profiles in the thread. In California one of CIG staff is listed as "Executive Assistant to the Co-Founder/Vice Chairman/General Counsel at Cloud Imperium Games" on linkedin, google the persons name you get a imdb page with a movie made this year (doesn't seem to be CIG related) and a twitter account where they are self described as an "INTERNATIONAL PRO MAKEUP ARTIST based in LOS ANGELES, CA". I dunno anymore, it used to take some effort on my part to make fun of Star Citizen, it's so easy now you just fall over the stuff. Even the craziest fans are registering here and going above and beyond to get noticed.

Since we're in the process of burning Klueless Karl, my turn. Remember when he said some nonsense about my "non existent" legal action as per what I posted here and later moved to my blog? Well, I went to our archives and randomly dug up some invoices (1, 2, 3)from the named legal firms in that last action. In fact, my calculations were off. When I looked at our Quickbooks ledger, the amount for just that action across 4 law firms, a PI firm, a forensics imaging firm etc was $609, 738.86 There you have it.

BMan posted:What the hell is a "bulb fasclas" The squeezable bit on the end is called a bulb. Fascia is a flexible word, it can be used to mean the dashboard of a car, but in this case it's a really good pun on its use as a word for mobile phone covers.
