you cant tell me what to do! You arnt my real dad!
I guess that makes him a smart-ass ? ;)
O glorious leader, what is a Shillizen? Have I missed something the SC lore or do you think his mouth is so full of shit he can't even spell the word citizen?
To quote him: My experience with idiots is that the best way to avoid them, is not giving them any attention in the first place
Perhaps you should call yourself Mr Bright, Clever, Sly, or I don't know ... Mr Smart, so you can hope to fool others!
Brilliant. Sounds like a lot of work though. I'll think about it.I've read the thread and the tweets now... OhgodOhgodOhgodOhgod how can I hold back? But I've got to go to work! I can't dedicate the time to this it truly needs to get teh uberlolz until Saturday at the earliest and it'll be dead by then.
So, good people of test, let me be your soothsayer on this occasion:
*Pulls out crystal ball*
*The fogs clear*
This is what I see just from the surface: He's changed his tactic and has started targeting the engaged community - his tactic of bashing the game had run out of steam now 3.0 is here, it's clear his words have been built on a foundation of sand and the house is crumbling. Now he's after the easy meat and that is the Triggered engaged player-base. This thread and the Noobifiers video shows he's after the biggest communities and voices in the game... But to what end?
If he can't make the game look like a failure he can make the community look like fanatics geeks and chumps and all he has to do is trigger us to get the ammo he needs to continue that line of attack on the game.
Soon he will move his argument from SC being a scam, to everyone who plays this MMORPG is a giant asshole and no one should play it because we are all meanies.
Just as we experienced with VirtualAss,SmartSchmutt will start regurgitating the choicest morsels we say to him on others, like VA using the words I myself said to him on other players to try to win arguments, and will copy/paste our best zingers to say to the world "Don't play Star Citizen, this is what the most established players and backers said to me, does that seem like the kind of place you want to hang out?"
I have always said I was not malicious enough to be a troll, but that doesn't mean I don't have those skills honed naturally over the course of my 20+ years of hanging out on forums and being a FlameWarrior forged in the fires of forum oration, I suppose could even be encroaching on Politician levels but as I said I was never malicious enough to be a troll so I'd never go into politics...
I can see where he is going before he has even got there because this is shallow but you only need an inch of water to drown in. Don't feed him ammunition - the words we use now he will wield in future.
So a tactic to use for now: Beat him to the punch - If he is going to use what we say now in the future, only give him now what he has said in the past. Dive in to his history of comments and and find all the ones that say "There will never be a game" etc, and screenshot them. Don't tweet back on that tweet, as it can be deleted and likely will be. Screenshot it and then respond to his current tweet with the screenshot asking him about how his previous comment was false.
If Schmutt responds, you have derailed the topic and YOU have control of the conversation. Take it where you will. If he doesn't respond, post another. And another. And another. And another. His original message will be drowned in his own bullshit no one can take it seriously if his previous are an albatross around his neck.
Good luck, Testies... Now:
Fly, my pretties!
No one calls 'BobFace an idiot. What an insult! I'm not that high functioning!
Where?!? When? How? I wanna see!!
If you want to use his words against him start with these ones. “All of a sudden I had to live up to the hype. I got a god complex that took over. Suddenly I was ‘Derek Smart, the game developer’. But I was nothing, nothing, nothing, close to a game developer at that time.” View: https://imgur.com/pSCuJDKI've read the thread and the tweets now... OhgodOhgodOhgodOhgod how can I hold back?
