Serpentine

I posted in one of the recent Ads for Solar Secure and gave them a bit of crap for spamming.
 
But just to be clear i was only giving them crap for the totally unsolicited private forum message.  It had nothing to do with double posting their recruitment message by mistake.  
 
The double post thing has to at least partially be caused by how these forums work.  I've seen more double posts on these forums then i ever have before.  Although i guess it might also have to do with so many more people posting using cellphones?
 
Anyway the issue for me was absolutely 100% about MMOTHEBOSS using the private messaging system to send out unsolicited recruitment messages.  That is just not what the messaging system is for.
 
No one deserves the level of vitriol that was spewed into that thread though.  But i also think it's important for some of the people who may be new to the world of constructive online gaming communities, and discussion forums, to be taught some of the basic ground rules that allow them to exist without turning into a cesspool.
 
This isn't an AOL chat room or a FPS lobby or whatever it is people think it is.
 
The only way you can WIN here is by helping to make the game better.  There is NO REWARD for having the highest post count.

no you're just an superfluous character desperately wanting to be part of the plot line

I can't help but read all of this and then snicker at your signature.
 
I suppose the spam would be considered.. outlandish? Maybe he's looking for attention from the org! 

People who are friends dont act in the same way to each other as they do to strangers and that's ok. Just because you are less formal around friends does not mean they can't do something right when the game starts. There is a reason you are no longer allowed in the cinderfall syndicate and it is you a quite the drama queen and you can't understand how a private conversation between friends doesn't mean that the people involved cannot sensibly run a syndicate or how a conversation about the syndicate does not equate to the end of the world.
 
The reason why *it is us that overeacted* is wrong is because there is no reason for us to have to admit to doing anything wrong. We haven't.
 
As for neo and asto, why shouldn't they spend hours upon hours of their time into the syndicate to try and make it work. If they do, who are we to then say "stop being so involved". Don't nickpick, show an incentive to trying to make a way it could work
 
The problem is outlandish, you are a outsider to what is happening and you are too preoccupied with trying to find a story to bother to realise what you are doing. Rather than *revealing the truth* your just selfishly trying to install paranoia and fear over CSYN and you are just trying to make urself seem more important.
 
Here's a parting tip for you: dont try to undermine what people have built for selfish and petty reasons, instead, try to help make a better society, a better community for dual universe. Instead of trying to spread fear and paranoia over small and insignificant matters, try and find something that you can believe in, that matters. I truly hope u can find it

Hey outlandish I am a member of the senate and the representative for the solar empire there and well, after having seen ur article I was more than a little amused. We have two years till game starts and you are worried about how we have beeen debating over what CSYN is. I'm touched, really I am. It's nice to know someone cares enough and is needy enough to attempt to make a fuss about this. I look forward to laughing at your next article.

Actually they don't. Sure if they are in the CYNS they deserve the right to know from there representatives. Do others need to know that the CYNS discussed what it is? No. Why? Because it is naturel to need to clarify a couple of points 2 years before something is relased.You do realise that saying your work ruins things like ruining family or friends doesn't make people believe ur work is important. It just shows how much of an arsehole you are going aroind finding mundane things and blowing them out of proportion.

The point is. People also want to know what is really going on. I am not some kind of evil person. I hear something and I see something else. I see myself as a journalist who wants to shed light and stuff. Take a look at this for an example.

 
As far as I am told, this is Neo voicing his complaints. The problem is why aren't we told that they can't agree or that they disagree. that's something people should know. I am not a bad guy here Outlandish.... My method is different yes, but I also want them to change for the better. Comon CSYN, be more open, be more honest, otherwise no one can trust you or your decisions....

Hello everyone!
 
I'm asking every organization high and low if they would like to be at peace with my faction, and any other factions!
I wish not for war, but for a kind community of friends to build the future of the universe!
Send me a private message if you would like to ally and I'll add you to the list
 
Have a fantastic day!

Hey its not my fault lmao. 

Its been a few days since Dylan arose from his ice coffin aboard the crashed arkship destiny. The alien environment on the aptly named Corazun Oro, has been harsh and unforgiving on him. The A.I. aboard the arkship has taught Dylan many valuable skills in engineering, survival, etc. Currently he is arriving back at the arkship after a long days hunt for food, which was somewhat successful. So far he has been surviving off the rations within the arkship but today he wanted to try his hand at hunting.
 
He plopped the oozing sack of alien animals down onto the ground near a crackling fire.
 
"hmm, its not earth animals but It will do...", he said to himself.
 
"If you place the organic beings into the ships bio scanner, I can tell you if its poisonous to you.", said the A.I. through the earpiece in Dylans ear.
 
"Alright well then I better do that.", he nodded as he picked the sack back up and walked toward a large crack in the hull of the crashed ship. "Hey, tell me. Were there any other survivors on my segment at all?", he asked as he stepped over fallen pieces of metal plating.
 
"After hours of searching through the cryopods I have come across several humans who were undamaged in the crash. I have promptly begun the defrosting process which will take a few days.", it responded.
 
"I brought my dog with me...most likely the last of his kind. Did he make it?", asked Dylan.
 
"My scans indicate a section of the ships cryopods contain Earth animals. I have also begun the defrosting process for all of them aswell. I am detecting exactly 20 canines, 13 Felines, 4 Small batches of rodents, 23 Birds varying in species. The rest....did not make it.", the A.i. said sadly.
 
"Well...I hope hes in there.", said Dylan as he arrived to a medical bay looking area. He walked up to a singular scanning bench that hummed with power. He placed the oozing sack ontop the of the bench and a long arm extended and began to circle the sack.
 
"hmm...from what my scans suggest, the organic material in this container is edible by humans but large amounts can cause internal bleeding. The acidic nature of the blood of these beings are safe to consume in small batches but toxic in larger amounts.", the A.I. said regretfully.
 
"well how much is 'a large amount'?", Dylan asked.
 
"About 6 ounces of meat. The daily recommended meat consumption for a human is 5 1/2 ounces of lean meat.", the A.I. said
 
"well...can you like...create a meal plan of some sort for the future for when we eventually run out of rations?", asked Dylan.
 
"processing....meal plan created.....", the A.I. said as it spit out a small, flat, square piece of metal. The object had a glass screen that began to list the optimal meal plans for human consumption based off the organic material found in the bag. It listed cooking times, recipes and food safety hazards. Dylan walked back out towards the crack in the hull when he heard a loud roaring sound coming from outside. He placed the data device on his belt and ran towards the crack in the hull before stopping and staring back at a large beast sniffing around his campfire. The beast had its back turned towards him and was sniffing all around the fire, as if it had never seen such a thing before. It was a quadruped with a long tail that had bony spikes along the middle leading towards a knife like end. The beast had a humped back that had bone armor-like plating covering its vulnerable areas. It had large legs that had five digits on its hands, each digit was tipped with a curved talon that dug into the dirt. Dylan took a step back and his boot stepped on a piece of glass making it crack loudly. The noise startled the beast and it swiveled around quickly to face the threat. It roared at Dylan angrily and took a low stance keeping its head low to the ground but its gaze locked on him. The beasts face was rounded at the top and flattened at the jaw. The jaw was lined with Jagged teeth that looked very, very, very dangerous. Unlike the human eye, the beasts slceras were black and the Iris were a white color. Its mouth dripped with purple ooze, most likely some type of toxin. Dylan didn't move a muscle as the beast walked slowly upto him, its tail bent over its body and the knife end pointing at the Dylans chest. The beast was right on top of him, he could smell the rotting stench of decay in the beasts mouth, it was carnivorous.
 
"Do not move sir.", the A.I. whispered into Dylans ear. "Preparing automated defenses...standby.", it whispered again. 
 
To the side Dylan could hear the sound of machinery moving around and the sound of something powering up. The noise caught the beasts attention and caused it to turn its gaze upward past Dylan. Suddenly a blue bolt of energy shot into the beasts face. The beast roared in pain and started thrashing about grabbing at its face. Dylan ducked down and rolled backwards into the ship as the beast rolled around and ran into things. It whined and screamed as it slammed its face into the side of the ship repeatedly. It eventually foudn the correct path and dashed off into the forest, its screaming still being heard.
 
"holy.....shit....that was close....", said Dylan. "what the hell was that?", he asked.
 
"That was a non-lethal energy based crowd control device.", the A.I. said proudly.
 
"not that! That creature!", he yelled back.
 
"I am not sure sir, remember this is a new planet. New planets have a possibility of housing new hostilities.". the A.i. said.
 
"well....we need to be more careful or I am not even going to be alive when these people are thawed.", Dylan said shaking.

We NEED to make sure more people notice and see the kickstarter.

We need to share it, spread it and talk about it wherever possible. There is only 16-15 days left and we need 140k more. (This is when I last checked, so it might be less needed whenever you read this)

I don't mean we should neccecarily pledge more. (I myself pledged Silver, early bird). we just need to get it to more people so more people that CAN pledge and WOULD be interested in the community notices it.

B2P is my preference. P2P is okayish. The Game-time token worked really nicely in Wildstar, but what happens when one of those people who can't do a subscription (me) runs out of game time? Is it game over for them?
 
Run a P2P with an expensive lifetime sub would be my input. I can fork out a large amount in one go. I just don't believe in subscriptions.

Here is were I stand... to me, the perfect model it's a P2P or with a Lifetime Subscription...
 
Essentially this allows players to pay for when ever they want to play... i.e 2/3 months... but those with more passion on the game can have the option to fully back the game with a lifetime subscription.... 1 pay - free to play rest of the game's life...
 
Just my thought...
