The Saddest Robot posted:Mr Smart, I know your priority is probably developing the framework, networking and balancing, but why don't you hire a couple of decent graphics artists to make your game look like it's not from 20 years ago? Assuming your engine can use shaders it wouldn't even be that huge of a technical issue, just a content one. Engine is fine. Art style is intentional: http://lodmmo.com/15-07-31-state-of-play/

OK ladies, I was doing some actual work today. You know, fer realz. I even wrote a new Line Of Defense dev blog. You should read it and quit bitching at me. Also, RPS has stepped into the Star Citizen fray. Going through everything I missed from p42 last night. Seriously, how many of you have jobs.

Mukip posted:I went through this trying to find an explanation for why LoD looks like a game from early last decade, but I ended up discovering your tie-in DC comic series instead. I wonder how that collaboration came about. It's a license to do comics based on the IP. There are five comics in the series. We have done three thus far, and two due out next year. Also, the Line Of Defense Tactics game which takes it's underlying story line from one of the comics, just passed final XBox One certification and goes on sale in early December. You bastards better buy it. I have to keep paying for avatars here goddamnit!!

thatguy posted:Believe it or not white knights like Wulf and Dolvak are Derek's greatest allies. Always racing to try to prove him wrong when all they actually end up doing is giving his thoughts and ideas more publicity. I mean Goons have been saying the same things Derek is saying now for years (more or less) and it was only until people started to bandwagon hate on him that those ideas started gaining traction outside of SA. Since Derek started loving with people he's had several subreddits made about him as well as numerous threads on r/starcitizen, some of which were actually pinned for a short time. The cultists who think they're defending Star Citizen are only helping to kill it faster. It's pretty comical.  Goddamnit!! You've literally unveiled the entire social media war of attrition plan!! Basically, once the media wrote about that first blog, then RSI/CIG proved that PR is only as good as the person you hired and who (that would be David Swofford) you should be listening to, and overreacted by refunding me, the die was cast. And they were hosed. Then they all decided to pick on the craziest force of nature. It went steadily downhill from there. The End.

So our new contender for my WIP blog (latest PDF export) on the abusive White Knights in the Star Citizen community, is Nick Butler (that's him in the wheelchair) aka /user/NitroTypat/ aka @Bipii_4084. If you look at his Reddit and Twitter feeds (1, 2, 3, 4), he is one of my top harassers (I'm rounding them all up like cattle, for the blog, then I'm going to link to all their social media feeds). Hey Nick, if you don't knock it off, I'm going to have my people get in touch with your Dad in Virginia and let him know you're harassing people online. No further warnings. Go play a game or something.

No, that's not why. I don't give a poo poo about that. People call me names all the time; it doesn't faze me. If you took the time to use Topsy and search his Twitter feed for mentions of me, along with his posts on Reddit, you'll see why. And I don't care if he's in a wheelchair or not as that has no bearing on anything. He's perfectly OK doing poo poo online from that chair (if that's him) and so he should know that online anti-social behavior does have consequences and they can be held accountable. This sort of nonsense is precisely why online abuse is so rampant because people - hiding behind the confines of anonymity - are so quick vilify others like me who do not have the benefit of anonymity. Just today, alone, this happened whereby abusers threatening violence, caused a major event to cancel panels. And while I was at the SPJ Airplay panel discussion back in August, some rear end-clown called in a bomb threat and had us out in the sweltering heat for over six hours. Tell you what. New deal. I'll just continue sticking them in my blog as I write it, and not post it here.

I'm sure that by now they've figured that I'm simply not bluffing or playing around. TheLastRoboKy posted:Derek's already shown he'll let people that are (by their own admission) working hard to smear him off the hook if they just apologise and move back from the keyboard-warrior poo poo, I think it's fairly safe to say as more and more of these idiots making the bad decision to publicly declare they're going to ruin Derek get dragged into the light the more we'll just see that as an easy out for them that gives Derek everything he wants out of this situation. MeLKoR posted:God drat, this is a pretty dumb kid. Amethyst posted:It's incredible how easy it is to reduce the big hard internet men of Star Citizen crew into puddles of tears when you suggest that maybe stalking a wheelchair bound cripple isn't a cool and badass thing to do. Perhaps the tightneing you feel in your chest when confronted with your own shortcomings should be harnessed for personal growth, rather than going into a panic and posting the loving get out frog 12 times in a row. Amethyst posted:Hmmmmmmm yes, it's perfectly reasonable to dox a kid, and publish his personal details on a hugely trafficked forum, because he left a bunch of negative reviews on steam. I am a Rational human being who does not stuff magazines up his rear end as soon as I get home every night Maldoror posted:I don't consider the 19 year old kid in question to be any different than anyone else. If I was in a wheelchair I would not want people helping me or holding the door for me or treating me special or different or say things like "let him say whatever he wants, he's special, he lost life, his life sucks, etc., leave him be." To me, THAT would be discrimination I wouldn't want. I would want to be taken as seriously on the Internet as any other rear end clown, as I would in life. kordansk posted:Okay real post.

If we were to stoop to the level of those idiot reddit cultists we would have to be reporting all of them to reddit to get banned, or actually doxxing them and using it for malicious purposes like attacking their place of work, or causing financial difficulties for them. This ridiculous Smart Shart War is only between him and RSI, and any of those loving morons that keep inserting themselves as cannon fodder for RSI are literally falling on their own swords for no reason. Here's the thing. I don't loving care if he's in a wheelchair or has lost both legs or has a metal plate on the side of his scalp. Being disabled doesn't make you a better person nor exempt from consequences. There are hardcore criminals wheelchair bound, amputees etc sitting in jail. When you go online and act like an rear end-clown, abusing, cyberbullying and cyberharassing someone - all illegal and not to be confused with Free Speech - the law doesn't loving care if you are handicapped or not. Civil and criminal consequences are real. Here is a small section of this "kids" impressive dossier of cyberharassment. Oh, and there's this montage. And within the next 24hrs, if he doesn't apologize and promise to disengage from this pattern of conduct, it's all going to his Dad, along with a letter from my attorney. And I have no doubt that he's a bully at school as well. So my guess is that his principal would be delighted to get a letter from an attorney as well. Unlike Dolvak, Wulf et al, I have no intentions of suing him. These morons think that I'm capable of taking on corporations, yet they are above my radar? That's just stupidity laced with arrogance. That's why I'm lining all of them up and setting an example of why it's a dumb idea to gently caress with Derek Smart. Aside from that, ALL of these things are associated STAR CITIZEN and its toxic community. So all they are doing is hurting the game and the community. They are not hurting me because they simply do not have the capacity to do that. Ever. Karl_Ramseier posted:Hmm, I think I am gonna give this kid some infos about your lawsuits (starting with the parentship one, don't you think?) and other personal info, let's see at which point someone thinks gently caress it and publish it all. Be my guest. Anything that's in the public record, is open season. I have nothing to hide and I don't care. That sort of thing neither fazes nor scares me. When people break the law, that's when the gloves come off. Your hollow threats are just that: hollow. And meaningless. And inconsequential. And dumb. FYI dumbass, there is no "parentship lawsuit". It's called a "legal paternal petition" and is used to establish paternity for children with dual-citizenship, child support, setting up trusts, private school placement etc. And the details are sealed (you make it public, I guarantee that that you will end up behind bars) in order to protect minor children.

CrazyLoon posted:Why the hell is this nobody more important to waste your precious time on, rather than sayyy CIG? Rather than starting that lawsuit to sue them for hosting, allowing and encouraging this kind of poo poo to go on? Every moment you spend on this cripple, is just giving him more validation (regardless of whether or not he stops, or if your threat of suing him goes through/works). If you go after every single white knight psycho, you'll never get around to actually going after the source of all this rot, which is CIG and the way they treat people. You DO realize that I, you know, PAY people to DO this work right? All I did was give an instruction akin to: find and get me all those who fit a certain threshold of cyberharassment & cyberbullying, so I can make an example of them. That's what my blog is about. And that's why I said that we're identifying the ring-leaders and herding them like cattle in this blog (which will have Star Citizen in the name). Some WILL face legal action, others will face a strongly worded legal letter (if you've seen how my attorney smacked Ortwin around, then you get the idea). It's a process. But these wankers are part of EVERYTHING that's WRONG with Star Citizen and these rear end-clowns who are a blight to it's community. Tank Boy Ken posted:I doubt he's doing the legal stuff himself.

Hey Cristian, since you're an adult over 30, with an actual job, and living in a State (Chula Vista, CA) that has some serious defamation laws like Florida. I'm coming for you. Pucker up. The list of Usual Suspects thus far; all of who are engaged in a protracted CyberHarassment & CyberBullying campaign. Still reviewing and researching the others.
