Thanks, I still can not seem to find the link there from the main site. I must be reeducated by the Stimpire to search better.

e: Ah got it. At the development page there is a sneaky pop up menu that has the link. Otherwise you only see the Citizens counter at the "Live Stats" section.

At any rate it would seem CIG is not so keen anymore on boasting about its funding at all.

You are correct here.

Derek had a history of quoting my effort posts in agreement for awhile now across all three of the names I've used to post here. However when I made that post a few months ago speculating about the funding situation and made what I thought was an informed opinion about an actual collapse taking place in Q2/Q3 2018 Derek immediately started being a snide douche to me and his hype man started posting poo poo like this

Since that guy is an extension of Derek it's pretty easy to see he is extremely worried other people are getting his attention/credit. Now I can look back and realize we were a month or so from finding out about the lawsuit so they were pissed off I wasn't entirely wrong about something Derek wanted the credit for.

I can also look back and remember the thread being engrossed in atxspergs leaks and having a great time until Derek openly demanded he answer his PMs and the guy quit posting.

I can also look back and remember that when TheAgent started becoming the thread focus Derek turned lovely on him for no apparent reason, calling him out and saying that he was full of poo poo and that he was doing damage by making poo poo up and leading people on.

616 is actually considered the real Number of the Beast.

Saint Iranaeus in the second century wrote "666 is known to be the number of the beast, but these dumb scribes keep loving it up". While the earliest copy of that part of Revelations that we have says 616, it also dates to around 50 years after his death.

Crobbles escapist letter was a large part of the reason I gave for wanting a refund. Actually - tbh I pleaded financial armageddon, but when they asked if there was something in particular in media/evil individual terms that made me doubt... (ie- hint hint pls say it was Derek/Escapist article) I said um - Crobbles reply rant to the Escapist was the tipping point for me. And that was the truth too

I asked them for the financials they promised and I would wait for them under the TOS version I last logged in under. funny enough my refund came through pretty fast after that. I still want those financials. And well the AMD letter.

I've just thought of something:

CIG very recently gave CryTek a set of bugfixes/modifications they've made to the engine.
CIG said they changed from CryEngine to Lumberyard a while ago.

Does this mean CIG gave CryTek at least some of the (modified) Lumberyard source code?
Do CIG need permission from Amazon to share Lumberyard source code with a third party?
Did Amazon give CIG permission to share Lumberyard source code with a third party?
Are Amazon aware that CIG have been sharing Lumberyard source code with a third party?

Pretty sure Amazon would not like that, no. I think the top comedy option here would be for Amazon to ask to be allowed into the court proceedings to protect their interests, the cultists cheering that Amazon is coming to help CIG against the evil CryTek and then having Amazon sit down on CryTek's side.

It's more the opposite of The Producers, isn't it? They wanted to make a flop, but accidentally made a hit.

Derek Smart - The Eternal Victim

I've dealt with people like Dr. Derek throughout my life; the over-promising under-achiever. people like Derek Smart only know how to victimize themselves. The problem is he never wins, and can�t help himself to make enemies.

The joke is always on him though, as the foundation of the something awful forums is to do nothing but simply point and laugh. Derek Smart is the joke, literally. So let's go ahead and give �the warlord� the full warlord treatment.

When I told Derek Smart that I was going to be suing Chris Roberts for Consumer Fraud, the very first thing he did was call me a liar. This perplexed me for two reasons: A) He never had any reason before to believe that I was lying about anything, B) We are technically both on the same side. It just seemed to be a self-destructive act of accusation out of nowhere. So, as any higher-level functioning adult would do, I tried to understand the position he was coming from.

Eventually it came to a point where he wanted to know the docket number for my case. I simply explained to him that docket numbers don't get handed out the moment you have a case filled, and that it takes a week or two for the court secretary to put it into the system. I told him that once I received my docket number, I would go ahead and give it to him for his own perusal.

He continued to berate me and call me a liar for absolutely no reason at all. So in response, I decided to take a photo of my receipt from the court because he tried to continue to argue with me over the semantics of �filing� versus �submitting� court documents. Even after it was told to him by several people in the chat room that he was wrong, he continued to dig in his heels on his position. I eventually decided it was not worth my time to continue arguing with someone over the internet, and simply ended the conversation.

A few weeks past without a word for me at all. in fact, a majority of the time I'm simply a lurker.

I received my docket number after a few weeks and posted the number in a private area specifically designed for that sort of thing. Derek then told me that this was the wrong chat and deleted it; telling me to post it somewhere else. Considering I was invited to the discord and this channel specifically to keep them updated on my progress, this only perplexed me further.

He then posted all of my suit information to his public lobby, which included my docket number, my real name, and my address� To a room of people where the potentiality of a number of people who threatened my well-being resided.

The only reason I can possibly come up with for you to about-face on me, for absolutely no reason what-so-ever, is that someone came along and did what you�ve been fantasizing about doing for literally four years and that upset your seemingly delicate ego. You seem to lack the ability to see outside yourself and to see yourself for the attention seeker you really are. To then project this trait upon me is just absurd. I barely post.

So keep me blocked, you can�t handle this. Like the �666� of this page number, you are nought but an internet demon. You�re the one sinking into obscurity. This is your own personal room, your own opus maximus, and you�ll be laughed at for all eternity for all to see, long after your dust and gone.

You have an extremely fragile ego, and I pity you.
See ya.
rear end in a top hat.

You are strong.
