the thing that stood out to me is he never said sorry or apologised in any way, every line was an excuse or rationalisation of some kind

Justin Tyme posted:I always thought buggies were a weird fit but I could see them conceivably making sense if they were small enough to cram in the cargo hold but had special buggy roads on most planets (maybe in the future space golf-carts are more popular than cars) My understanding is that they are just putting the buggies around the ArcCorp area because there is literally nothing else to do in the meantime. They will be removed later when/if the game comes out.

MeLKoR posted:Most people go all their online lives without even hearing of goons but there's a few that are a bit more clued in, they've either been the victim, seen someone get hosed or heard about it second hand but never actually been to SA. It's impressive what a decade and a half trolling the internet will do., they have this image of goons as Moriarty-like geniuses when in reality it's just the critical mass of ten thousand simultaneous I played EvE for a few years, the first big org I joined I got lectured by the new recruit officer to "stay the gently caress away from goons" so it just became one of those things, goons = scary, I don't think I ever looked at SA forums or if I did the paywall was up. I ended up getting scammed by goons, it was a recruitment scam where I lost half my stuff, but immediately afterwards I realised how stupid I had been, oh well should have stayed away from goons, goons = bad. I stopped playing EvE a few months before BoB got destroyed, but I remember reading about it and thinking, loving goons = ruin everything. Since then I have heard about goons in other games, just small news, nothing big. I didn't back SC until 2014 and I saw "The Goons" were here, uh oh, well I guess I'm just going to have to stay the gently caress away from them. When all this drama went down, especially the last month, it was hard to get a read on what was happening. Dr Smart had raised a couple of reasonable issues I thought, but when he goes into full rampage mode I can't take him seriously. The SC subreddit and forums were okay at first, but more and more even the slightest criticism got downvoted, shutdown or banned, which basically left the conspiricy theorists or the sycophants. I was trawling through every thread in /r/StarCitizen or /r/DerekSmart trying to find out any "real" information because most of it was garbage, fanfiction or religious worship. I admit that I was watching the conspiracy theorists mostly because they seemed to have some kind of clue what was going on, or at least I thought they did. When I saw all the stuff about D Smart being a goon sock puppet, it all made sense, of course those goons were up to their old tricks! So I decided that I wasn't going to stand for this, I wasn't going to let the goons ruin things this time. So I set myself to watching the goons more closely, I would read everything, i would find where they made their first mistake and I would make them pay, foiling them and foiling the Derek Smart. So I started from the beginning of this thread, combing through every post to find out what they had, to catch them in their lies! But then it got to a point where, I wasn't looking for dirt on SA or Derek Smart (who I still don't like, but anyway), but i was actually getting a better idea about what was going on. Learning where CIG had misstepped that I wasn't aware of, learning that some of this went way back to before I got involved with SC. Eventually it just got to a point, where I started laughing out loud at some of the things I read, but I think it was when dickwulf did his "A Rally" speech because apparently he thinks he's Admiral Bishop, and someone posted something like "Oh drat we lost the war bros" and someone else followed up with "I blame poor leadership", I loving lost it completely, I was in hysterics with my eyes watering, it was the funniest thing I had read about SC in months. I guess it kind of dawned on me, that I had assumed a lot of things and I hadn't really checked things out for myself and that even though you were making GBS threads on SC, at least you were having fun. The subreddit has devolved into nothing but sycophants and idiots, and the RSI forums are worse, so even though I'm probably going to end up getting banned for shitposting eventually, I decided you deserved my 10 bucks for making me laugh about SC.

Fooma posted:Since it's confessional time, do you mind recounting what promises CIG gave that motivated you to go all in on a video game? Did this happen at once or did you slowly slip into "well, just one more ship..." Basically I'm lucky enough to have a job with a high disposable income, everytime there was a sale I got excited and caught up in the hype, so over 2 years it was $100 here or $200 there. Plus one thing i've been noticing is the price of ships has been escalating and I've been paying more each time... ...I am such a fuckwit.

Unhappy Meal posted:I was going to say, "Oh come on, the thread was probably only like 300 pages when they started." Then I went and looked, page 300 was only week ago. I quite literally have been reading every evening since last Monday. I have to say though, none of it was really a slog at least no parts that I remember. I've turned into my dad, except instead of reading the newspaper I read SA forums.

Dirty Hairy posted:I started reading when I saw Beer got banned from the RSI forums and wanted more information. Since then, I've skipped around to try to find the highlights, but this thread has consumed all my free time in the last week. I figured I'd finally subscribe here since I've been a casual SA reader for years and especially enjoyed the perspective of the posts. I'm still looking into it at the moment, it looks like I bought all my ships after the 2014 TOS change, so it looks like a refund will be more difficult. I'm looking into what's required for selling them on the grey market. So i guess I might have to hurry up before the Derek Smart burns it all down.

Sarsapariller posted:The secret to goon posting is to remain ironically detached from everything that happens here. It is also why the notion of anyone infiltrating this thread is laughable- there's nothing to infiltrate, nobody here gives enough of a poo poo to make secret plans involving more than 10 minutes of effort. When i first started reading this thread, you were talking about hamburger recipes and when the best time to season the meat was... do you know how long i spent trying to breakdown those code words? 7 days later I have a barely coherent understanding of what is happening ITT.
