I got a question for Smart: Did you consider not saying anything, waiting for Nov. 1 to come, and just quietly filing a lawsuit to get the financial statements? Don't get me wrong, the route you took has been incredible to watch, but if I had to be honest I don't see how you doing all this internet warlording helps your initial claim.

kordansk posted:I don't think so, no. Remember we aren't employees there. It is a different dynamic from what we see on the outside. It's easy for us to step back and look at the situation and be like, 'WHAT THE gently caress, WHY DON'T YOU RUN" but they still need income. I wouldn't fault someone staying at a paying job utilizing their abilities while looking for a new place of employment. I think it would make for an interesting interview though. It was a joke, but good post nonetheless.

In the previous thread someone compared Derek Smart to Ed Wood, which led me to 2 thoughts: 1). I suddenly want to see Derek in drag 2). Who would Chris-R be in this comparison (not Lucas; 'Ol Jorge can actually finish his movies)

I remember in one of the older thread a repost from the brown sea that was made just before something big was supposed come out (and of course didn't). It was really long and basically said "this is a Special Moment, let's all cherish it together." Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

I have no intention of buying that game anyway since they all suck so WTF? You're not supposed to give away how The Warlord transmits his orders!

Wafflz posted:If the game ever comes out (it won't) there will be no non-consenual pvp. There is no way on croberts green earth cig is going to allow people to blow up 1000+ dollar jpegs if they don't want them blown up. OTOH that's really the only way to make money post-release. It's already been pointed out that the market for the game has already "bought-in" so to speak. So even if the game is released ( ) I think they'll still try to milk the whales.They can probably get around the whole LTI thing by making customer service play the role of adjusters: "  You can't prove that this wasn't insurance fraud, so claim rejected!"

alphabettitouretti posted:Didn't they at one point say that they would have people act as insurance adjusters in the game to stop fraud? Seems like a joke suggestion but I'm pretty sure that was a serious proposal from Legendary Game Designer Christ Robbers. Exactly, it's just cover to invalidate the LTIs. Just make up a story about "dem goons!  " to explain why your 'adjusters' Again, if the game actually gets released.

So what are the details of the "Smart destroys a Coke Machine" story? On a related note, someone that can photoshop should make a version of the scene from Dr. Strangelove where the soldier shoots the coke machine and gets sprayed with soda.

AP posted:Some people think this TOS stuff is important and a gotcha to CIG, I'm not sure the TOS is important at all to individual backers as if something even looks like it could come to court it makes much more sense of CIG to just fully refund the backer who's unhappy. But if Derek Smart is trying to get access to the books maybe the "audited cost" part helps him. One thing I'm uncertain about is since CIG refunded Derek unilaterally, there's no implied agreement to hold harmless (or something, my legal is just a gerbil). So CIG can't stop people from suing by just stuffing the money back into their bank account, as the former customer can still say "you wasted my loving time" and at least ask for the Present Value difference of the refund. Or am I just making things up in my head?

I had a thought: If CIG does get something out the door, and somehow it technically satisfies all the promises despite being a turd, even then Chris-R isn't out of the woods, because of the VCs like Bootcha. If CIG releases something and claims to be done, then all the $94M is now realized revenue, and they would have to start paying the VCs their share of all of that amount. I have a feeling that they haven't been setting money aside to satisfy the VCs.

One thing that has been confusing me is a few of you complained that So-and-So nerfed or hosed over the Cutlass. I mean most if not all of us posting here are in agreement that SC isn't going to come out, so the relative value of a particular .jpeg spaceship is just as much an illusion as everything else. I would if one of the vets can explain this gripe, and why it keeps being brought up in light of all the other issues that imo make it academic.

LCL-Dead posted:I was about $600 in and sold most of my stuff for profit. All I have left worth refunding is a Redeemer and some hangar flair that probably equals out to around $320. I've only gotten one "Are you sure?" response and 3 more automated "We haven't forgotten about you!" emails with zero replies to the other 4 emails I've sent. Did you inform them that you would do a chargeback? Not saying you should have, but from previous examples they let RSI know they would chargeback which got the refund right away. Alternatively, RSI is now at the point that they don't have the money to give you a refund. Which would mean they're in full  mode right now.

Welcome BastionPete. First, no need to say you had an account from 2007 that you lost. Even if it's true, no one cares. Second, you sound like a mostly rational person, unlike some other SC supporters that have come here. Be sure to read the forum rules, and as long as you don't make an rear end of yourself no one here will bite your head off. I've mostly been lurking in this thread, so I'll let goons that have been involved with SC respond to your points. But one thing I'm curious about : as someone that still believes SC will be released, what do you think the game is going to be? Oh, and PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRP
