COMPLETED CAV: STRIKE OPERATIONS Kickstarter

[nakos]

On a positive note?  This has been an exceptionally entertaining KS and I am proud to have been a part of it in some small way.  I am ecstatic with the progress we've made, and will make, prior to the final countdown.  I think I may just have a little after party when it's done.  A cocktail and a stompy robot movie/game sound about right.

Yes, especially Sam's manly intimidation allegories. That was hilarious.

Threats of violence are bad enough, but looking up someone's personal information and spreading it around while threatening violence is downright creepy, plus also possibly illegal.

 

I missed the drama apparently, but this is a good opportunity to point out that there can be a lot of personal data out there for someone to chain together.  It's easier if you use your real name instead of a handle, or if you use the same account name across different sites.  If I recall correctly, "gender + zip code + birthdate" is basically a unique identifier (for example).

 

This is definitely something that everyone should be aware of, and take steps to actively manage your online persona and presence as much as you can.

 

Ok, friendly professional warning over; resume thread topic!

He seemed to stagger from curmudgeonly to "Oh yeah? OH YEAH? You wooden... you wooden say that to m' FACE!" Drunk maybe?

 

But he did that tiptoeing-around, I-didn't-say-exactly-that-I'd-punch-you BS that you only usually see from total equus asinus cavities.

 

ETA: so about then I thought I'd just do some good-natured satire of internet manliness until his comments disappeared off the bottom of the page. Glad folks found it entertaining!

'twas an excellent solution, and quite entertaining.

hmm, so next time I'm bored, I should hang out in the KS comments?

I added the paints and a $5 stretch goal that I'd like to see. Hopefully we'll be able to entice some additional people in as things wind down. We need some of that magic Reaper closing power.

Bah!  It's suspense!

[Werkrobotwerk]

Suspense with tanks and robots...

 

So they are reloading?

No.

 

Cuz there's nothing but BIG STOMPY ROBOTS over there . . .

 

Ok, maybe you should go visit . . .

Looks like Kickstarter has moderated out the most trollish of last night's comments.

Frankly, I would advise against it. KS comments tend to be pretty toxic.

 

This was just an unusually ugly incident.
