[QUOTE=_Axel;50878589]What happened?[/QUOTE] [URL="https://s9.postimg.org/hd7ar7zb3/NPo_Y5_Im.gif"]It's a mystery, really.[/URL]

Sandi's been getting harassed for over a year, but it intensified into a whole new level when shithead made it his personal mission to attack Chris through her. She didn't name any names, and then after that guess who spent hours tweeting that what he was doing wasn't harassment in between posting tons of libelous shit and goonshops and then wrote a blog rewriting said harassment-denial and libelous shit into 10x the length. The big thing now is claiming that Sandi is the same person as an actress who participated in some softcore tickle fetish videos. Which are irrelevant to SC even if true and just an appeal to sex-negative morality. But, it doesn't even stop there, as his latest blog includes the suggestion that Sandi worked not only in porn but in prostitution(!). Character assassination won't stop Star Citizen from doing what he failed to do; this is pure spite and jealousy. Reminder that shithead received and published to the Internet a C&D from the Roberts family last September, and aside from not doxxing their kids anymore he's effectively ignored every last word of it. By his actions, he is trying to provoke a lawsuit, because he'd love nothing better than to scream to the high heavens during Gamescom that little harmless reporter/indie developer Diddles Fart is being hit with a SLAPP from big bad Scam Imperium Scams Inc, even though it'd be a personal suit from Sandi if it happens at all, and CIG's confidential financial info is completely unrelated to harassment and libel against a private individual that works there. Just like last year before Gamescom, he's claiming that Sandi's about to quit according to "sources". I wasn't going to bring that shit into here, and I'd like to suggest we maybe don't. All you need to know is that the meltdowns have been hitting more frequently as Gamescom approaches.

The event trophies (regular and subscriber-only) are up, but strangely there's no event poster on Voyager Direct; I'm not sure if it means there's none this time or it's going up only during the event. I haven't watched it yet, but this week's RtV was Chris Smith and Tony Z talking about the F7A and NPC AI stuff.

did this derek smart guy actually doxx peoples kids? sounds fucked up

[QUOTE=WJS;50880215]did this derek smart guy actually doxx peoples kids? sounds fucked up[/QUOTE] "Doxxing" is perhaps [I]slightly[/I] excessive for describing what he did: tweeted a direct link to a photocollage of one of Chris and Sandi's daughters (like age 6-7) that was prepared by and tweeted out by a guy with a record of harassing people online, especially women in gaming. These photos were primarily gathered from the child's IMDb page (as opposed to breaking into and leaking private albums), but an argument over Star Citizen has [I]no[/I] reason to involve the children. The harasser guy also tweeted out the Roberts' home address and exterior photos of their house (this is the only thing dumbshit did NOT retweet/repost in his own feed) at the same time as well as posting doxx/misleading bullshit about mom and dad. Since then, he's left the kids alone, but otherwise the C&D might as well have been junk mail to him.

Setting Dick Shithead aside, this is the first time I played the PTU and damn they sure did good on the control scheme, feels really easy to just pickup and play. Are there more FPS tweaks to be implemented? It still doesnt feels that fluid.

yes, when 2.6/Star Marine comes out [del]aka never cause star marine is canceled amirite hu hu hu[/del]

[QUOTE=Big Bang;50880754]Lmao harassment by who? Since when it is harassment to reveal that somebody participated in a commercially released pornographic video, in a paid role? It's even a legal requirement to keep records of actors and actresses identities, it's called the 2257 regulations. It's not that they're even hiding it Ortwin is involved with the company that created the video lol. There is not ONE person tweeting anything out of the ordinary to her. If you can honestly tell yourself that the tickle thing is harassment yet [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/DerekSmart"]this shit isn't[/URL] then congratulations, you're a hypocrite. I don't care how much you hate the man, that's actual abuse.[/QUOTE] Are you seriously saying that Derek Smart wasn't using Sandi's previous work in an attempt to embarrass her or otherwise harm her image (or the project itself)? Come on man, grow a fucking brain: the intent to cause some sort of harm was very obviously present.

Come back when you actually have criticism about star citizen and not libel against staff.

But how can you seriously say that mentioning a single person (that you have no direct involvement with) over 400 times within just a few years, with many of those mentions are targeting her in a negative way and even including their family, is not harassment?

Like many people here I have backed SC but don't play it as really I'm just waiting around for it to be finished and I like to come to this thread to get updates/news etc. However it seems that 50% of the shit in here nowadays is about Derek Smart and I'm sure I am not the only person who finds this tedious. Can there not be a second thread for drama stuff to keep this one clean?

big bang, can you just leave okay? nobody wants you here. you just stir up drama, like jesus fucking christ let it rest ok [editline]14th August 2016[/editline] like, can we actually return to talking about videogames in a videogame thread instead of talking about some sassy jealous developer making it his life goal to talk shit about other people

-snip-

Stalking employees and digging up dirt on them, in order to invalidate their work is vain and petty, and you wonder why this is polarizing? DS brings his harassment on himself by doing exactly that, and all you're doing is stoking the fire. Unilaterally what Derek is doing, is not criticizing the product but going out of his way to stalk and dig up dirt to somehow invalidate Star Citizen. All his past criticisms fell flat on their face and his predictions never came true, so he's resorting to attacking staff. You and many others parroting his bile is disgusting. [quote]No. There's another side to this and it deserves to be heard, to have a proper discussion you must accept that there are two sides to each issue.[/quote] The past of a PR manager is 0 concern of mine, and it's not going to affect the development of the game. Same with the bullshit conspiracy shit about Chris. And I want to cement this again, come back when you have [b]actual[/b] criticisms of Star Citizen, that is cause for concern. Like others I'm not playing star citizen right now, I'm waiting for it to be done, and I want constructive criticisms and concerns to be brought up so CGI can deal with it.

Is the game at a playable state yet? Last time I played it (maybe back in October or maybe a bit later, I can't remember), moving felt like you were running through molasses and the mouse acceleration was god-awful. How is the game now? Is there more content to enjoy or should I just wait until it officially releases in October or whatever the date is?

[QUOTE=Big Bang;50883345]I just replied, it wasn't me who mentioned the drama, it was elixwhitetail. You're all just getting pissy over hearing the other side of it.[/QUOTE] My post wasn't directed at you in particular. And what I meant was discussion about the game itself, positive or negative, should be here but anything just about Derek Smart should go somewhere else because it's annoying as fuck. Half of the shit about him isn't even talking about the game and it cloggs up the thread imo.

-snip-

I just want to mention to anybody a bit tired of holier-than-thou "i've seen through their videogame LIES"-comments that the ignore button is alive and well!

Lol at people thinking this is some sort of convoluted conspiracy If they had any power at all that "proof" of the ID card being from the "head office of scamming intelligence international at CIG" would have resulted in the fucking army being called there to stop their deeds most foul in violation of liberty and etc. Get a grip you foolhardy jarheads, this is a [B]VIDEOGAME[/B] in [B]DEVELOPEMENT[/B] You want scams go play no mans sky or some shit, DS hasn't made anything worth talking about so why even listen to a confirmed troll who by the way, admitted to making shit up for fun
