Also you will wake up with Elon Musk slobbering on your dick while saying "I'm not gay" between mouthfuls

That role is already played by goons.



Coincidentally a lot of the people backing Star Citizen for their dream universe are refugees from EVE Online. So our shitposting and mocking of Star Citizen is literally called an organized hate campaign that is accused of threatening the developers, doxxing them, harassing them and using shadowy cabal tactics to manipulate people and events in the sole pursuit of trying to destroy the one true good thing in the world, Star Citizen.

Some of the people are legit insane but Something Awful will be the punching bag for their frustrations once it finally does collapse.

I really wish we were the big shadowy video game and media cabal of angry and disgruntled monsters that the Citizens picture us to be.

Sitting in our big evil chairs having shadowy meetings about how next to dox some poor innocent 3d toilet design engineer and force them to set back the game by another year through 3d toilet model sabotage.

For further clairification:

The specific "SJW mechanism" the guy is talking about is when the guy who does security for their conventions, a whale backer, was harassing women on the official forums and sending them pictures of his tiny dick. Goons started complaining about how gross the guy was.

Benjamin Lesnick the CIG Community Manager came out ranting about Goons, banned the sexual harassment victim, banned some goons and threatened to ban goons entirely from the forums.

So we tried to assert our evil control over Star Citizen by saying it wasn't cool that a whale was showing people his tiny cock and CIG proudly stood up and declared that there was not going to be a repeat of EVE Online and that goons wouldn't be tolerated.

Yes you have gone insane.

Yeah, that was Ryan Archer. His portfolio of his "art" was also just poo poo he stole/traced.

Here's a few of the things we made (slow down with all this remembered stuff man. I don't wanna have everything on the first 3 pages of this thread :D ):







He just flat out stole art from others and claimed it was his. It's where we got the term "Archered" to mean stolen.

Citizens have been calling their ship jpgs "investments" for years now.

Goons did make a pretty penny in the grey market, selling off our jpgs, once we realized this was a scam.



These are Star Citizen gift cards. You pay CIG 60$ to get a 50$ gift card.

If you have a personal problem with the topic of Star Citizen or the concept of people following it then maybe don't read this thread that you don't want to read?

I got my $20 refunded and haven't paid much attention to it all since. I delete the star citizen emails that still turn up. I must admit that's a pretty sweet deal on gift cards even though you pay $60 and you get a $0 gift card.

This whole land purchase thing almost seems like they want to go down the path of Entropia Universe. Maybe they should sell a whole planet for $100k to some idiot who can talk about owning a fake planet instead of playing games.

Background: The offices in L.A. are nice. Like, astounding amounts of money spent on stuff (20,000 dollar coffee maker, 10,000 dollar desks, etc).

One thing was a keycard activated automatic door that was a replica of an airlock on one of the larger spaceships.

When asked about the expenditure of all these backer funds, they responded that the door was just an old garage door that had been cosmetically changed with some paint and plywood by a few employees over a weekend.

Goon investigation determined that was a lie. Now it's a running joke.

Planet protection is gonna be way more expensive than that if it costs $100 to protect an 8kmx8km plot. I'm guessing that they are playing a long con. Start with plots, then build it up to villages, cities, counties, states, countries, continents, continents plus oceans, airspace, planetary security, and so on. They'll also have various levels depending on how quickly you get a response. You've gotta keep the money flowing!
