Then go and sue him. But instead you guys are dragging his case through the whole internet. Did any one of you asked the "victim" of that sexual harassment how she feels about it?
I'm not sure why you put victim in quote marks, it's almost as if you believe sending pictures of your genitals unsolicited to complete strangers isn't sexual harassment somehow?

I don't know if the victim (note: no quote marks) wants to pursue it further or not, probably not because I suspect there's very little recourse for the effort involved. Even if she doesn't though, that doesn't make it any less of what it is. That doesn't make it okay.

Have citizens already committed a ritual mass suicide to get their real ships in the afterlife?
No. Chris wrote an unhinged 18 page rant in which he blames everyone from aliens to the forces of international jewry for Star Citizen's woes, but according to the masses it was a measured and considered response and clearly everything is fine.

While I wait for my refund, can anyone give me few recommendations for a stick to use with Elite Dangerous?
Mouse and keyboard is a pretty good stick. :v:

Budget wise: the Thrustmaster TFlight X is a half decent HOTAS for the price, but it uses pots instead of hall effect sensors, so it can have deadzone issues. The Thrustmaster T16000m and the Defender Cobra M5 are both decent budget sticks (they use hall sensors like more expensive sticks, this makes them very accurate), but they don't come with a separate throttle.

CH products are the pro choice, but their sticks don't have a twist axis.

Saitek X52 pro is okay if you can get hold of one. Don't get an X55, they explode on contact with air.

Go Warthog if you want to spend $TEXAS$.

Thanks for your contribution Shrach, is there any procedure that allows for exceptional extension without running risk of having to pay the staged penalties?
Yes, but they have to be extremely exceptional... as in Godzilla wrecked your accountant's offices.

Otherwise it's "gently caress you, pay me".

I'm going to keep giving this goose farmer gold that he says he's feeding his goose. He says the golden eggs are definitely around the corner, no more than two weeks! He also said that any rumours the goose is in fact dead are vicious unsubstantiated lies.

Also, he asked me if I liked the new sports car he acquired in a completely unrelated venture to golden eggs, and then he offered to sell me some really cheap goose liver. What a guy!

Lots of independent, verified people, for instance, gave similar facts and stories about Saddam Hussein's WMD programs following the first Gulf War. Those stories turned out not to be true. The same might be true here, but no one can say for certain or not without at least attempting to prove the story, as presented by one side only, wrong.
No they didn't. It all came from a single extremely unreliable source that the US and UK governments chose to believe because it aligned with their agenda.

There were lots of independent, verified people saying they didn't have them. Including a UN weapons inspector, and an English expert who killed himself because he was being hounded by government goons to change his loving story.

Okay, it's Sunday afternoon here, I'm going to assume it's getting close to Sunday morning on the other side of the pond too.

Is typing up threats of a lawsuit smack bang in the middle of the weekend standard legal practice? Were they hoping the Escapist's legal advisor(s) would be off work, and whoever they left in charge would just panic and pull the story?
