anyone who asked for a refund and most of all got it is an awesome one

Getting that refund was not hard. Sandi hates me and offered me a refund 3-4 over the course of the last two years. I just told that CS guy he should talk to Sandi and two days later I received the refund on Paypal. Sometimes being a relentless pain in the rear end who knows his rights and just keeps reiterating unkomfortable facts pays off. Just ask Derek. :D

There's a part of me you'll never know
The only thing I'll never show

Hopelessly I'll love you endlessly
Hopelessly I'll give you everything
But I won't give you up
I won't let you down
And I won't leave you falling
If the moment ever comes

It's plain to see it's trying to speak
Cherished dreams forever asleep

Hopelessly I'll love you endlessly
Hopelessly I'll give you everything
But I won't give you up
I won't let you down
And I won't leave you falling[s/]
If the moment ever comes

Oh great, another bookah.
What do you guys think of my website idea:
I'll probably do it with material design.
I'll have a section called "the pipeline" which will have a bunch of small cards that represent the promised features. Each card will have a very short overview of the promise, the source of the promise, a tl;dr of the current status of the promise and maybe an icon indicating if the promise has been fulfilled or not. These cards will be searchable and sortable. Also, each card will be have links to any articles posted about these cards, which leads me to the other major section of the website: Articles.
The articles section will be a blog type thing where authorized users can post articles and link them with the cards in the pipeline for organization.

I'm also thinking of having comments sections pretty much under every page and possibly a separate "leave your thoughts" page.

I'll probably throw together a first version of this tomorrow or over the weekend. Any ideas are welcome.

You should ask congress for funding since it will be an invaluable tool for the impending FBI/FTC investigation. Seriously though the sheer amount of promises scattered over tons of articles, videos and so on will make this a massive project.

Until we can work out the database smegma you will be given 1 (One) unmelt token which allows you to use the funds you have already given us to repurchase a jpeg. All others after the first must be repurchased via credit card only.

So it's like store credit basically? But they get charged for using it, and if they use the token they won't get charged?

Partly, but its main role is to allow backers to repurchase one unique ship that they have previously “melted” (turned into store credit) and which is no longer available through normal channels.

Because not even CIG's most ardent supporters accepted the nonsensical idea that you'd have to pay more money to get a ship you had already paid for. So CIG compromised and offered them one (1) “undo”.

It still doesn't make any sense, but at least now Chris doesn't have to be annoyed by people asking why the company can't do a simple DB query to see if someone had previously purchased a ship.

I wrote a long post and then deleted it. Its turning into Custers last stand and I just don't want to get people in trouble . I have already said to much I reckon and if people get in the poo poo because of whats discussed here and the very obvious source then that is nothing but bad.
I can highlight some stuff in bullet points but nothing at Derek Smart level of excitement
- A couple of very public faces have left CIG UK right under everyone's noses. This may be out there already . You will know who if you check ATV and all that bollocks and then see who doesn't appear anymore. Not actual game developers just CS monkeys but significant none the less. The old adage poo poo rolls down hill is never so true when you are involved with CIG ... B4TBG email exchange is still causing fallout ... and all the wrong people are getting blamed
- I know what they are currently concentrating on , it is simply unbelievable . I cant say what it is for obvious reasons but it is up there with the farming module. talk about fiddling while Rome burns .....
- All the jobs being advertised are legit and they are getting really desperate now to fill those positions. However they just cant and Mr Smart's blogs are being cited as the reason. if anyone is interested they are paying above industry standard but you might only have the job for another 12 months at best.
- The whole animation system is simply hosed. You are looking at a team of very competent animators working flat out for a year or two to get anything working properly.
- Sq42 looks absolutely stunning (The space bits) FP stuff looks like a PS1 game and no one seems to give a poo poo. However it is not a game, there is no game play or direction. Nothing just amazing graphics in an editor. The whole thing is in a constant state of flux and a dev cycle that was already floundering is now totally FUBARED because the emperor himself is taking a hand in it personally. Some big news outlets have been in there recently doing all sorts of walk around's and interviews.
- All the hilarity and fallout from 10ftc, Starmarine being cancelled and the reddits etc have caused absolutely no concern whatsoever. Literally no one gives a gently caress. The attitude is , ' Its just noise let them have their fun we know better'. Chris in particular is totally detached from it all

The other stuff I cant talk about at the moment because it will be so obvious where its coming from

is it the drink simulator? i hope it is

ahahah crobbers you are a real piece of poo poo
