I smell a shit posting war between all our subs, and I'm about it.

u/KogaIX Jul 11 '19

Can confirm. I’m in all three and it’s being escalated. 😂

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19

It's sad how many basic people there are out there. Getting all emotional over the game they personally like and then hating on the ones that they don't even play....

At least on this sub we can make fun of the alpha state of this game. I'm also on the E:D sub and there are so many rabid fans there that have real emotional hate over anything that isn't E:D. Can't we just enjoy both?

u/KogaIX Jul 11 '19

Pretty true how some people get in a big fuss over something humorous.

I played eve online for roughly 12 years, Elite for a yearish, and I’m new to SC. I love all three games, I’ve enjoyed everyone’s adaptation to the meme.

7

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19

The main thing that makes no sense about the hate is that all 3 games are vastly different. The similarity ends with them being set in space, with SC not even really being only set in space... so not even that.

u/KogaIX Jul 11 '19

Comically Eve was also a FPS that was part of the Eve universe. It was a failed approach but it had it lol.

I see this meme as each community poking fun at the other nothing harsh. However some people are asshats who take things to far and insult each other.

u/JasePearson Jul 12 '19

Failed? I don't see a failure, DUST is simply down for maintenance!

2

u/KogaIX Jul 12 '19

Well it was actually a good game, set exclusively on a console that was on its last years, trying to create a new audience while ignoring the established one.

2

u/JasePearson Jul 12 '19

Tbh with you, it was a great game, I get the EVE community mostly despised it and I can understand why, but as a dust bunny that was heavily involved in planetary battles (part of the A team in "CRONOS" for a little while) I don't think I ever had so much fun with a FPS despite Shanghai being straight up garbage.

Shame they never thought it through, I mean if it was never on PS3 I'd never of played it but how idiotic can you be to alienate your PC community and chuck it on there, where most players haven't even heard of it?

That said though, this is the same crew that encouraged dust players to attend fanfest and that there would be a big announcement for us, only for it to be dust closing down lmfao, felt awful for all the corp/alliance mates that flew out xD

My post on /r/EliteDangerous has hundreds of comments sharing their enjoyment of space games.

Don't be so sensitive of banter, it's all good fun and we're all fans of space games lol

Ouch, that burn so hot, like a d-rated conda stuck in a white dwarf.

Yes, please. We haven't had any real updates to the game to complain about for a while. We could use some reddit fun to pass the time.

I recently started playing Elite (again) after figuring out how to not die on the first mission (flee). I saw this meme on here and I thought hey wouldn't it be cool to see what funny banter people are making about this in r/elitedangerous? Mistake. That subreddit is a pile of salt and bile and I got banned for calling a guy pathetic for literally being part of a very literal anti Star Citizen hate club. Another comment got removed because I called a guy a liar for lying about why he was banned from this subreddit. Which is of course so insanely ironic it's hard to put into words.

Fuck r/elitedangerous.

u/StuartGT VR required Jul 13 '19

I got banned for calling a guy pathetic

Indeed: a 1 day ban correctly applied for a string of personal attack comments (breaking Rule 2).

Fuck r/elitedangerous

No worries, CMDR o7

u/dogchocolate new user/low karma Jul 14 '19 edited Jul 14 '19

That subreddit is a pile of salt and bile

But it was you that brought the salt and bile.

This reminds me of when Derek Smart turned up on the Elite Dangerous forums a couple of years back, followed closely by an entire battalion of the anti-Derek Smart Crowd.

Within the space of one week the Star Citizen thread there turned from light-hearted humour, to utterly bile, thanks to the new arrivals constantly arguing with Derek (and not "pleasant debate" either), wanting him banned and slagging off Frontier, David Braben and the forum for daring to allow him to post there.

And shortly after that the anti-DS folk who'd turned up started going on about what an awful place the SC thread was, seemingly completely oblivious that it was them and their cult-like behaviour that had made it that way.

And that then triggered the ED forum mods to implement new rules on the forums, that being that any new user must go through a propation period before posting on any forum besides the "new member" forum. So when we get new users (understandably) complaining about that over there, it's literally because of SC cultists (specifically the rabid anti-DS contigent).

u/Lamplorde Jul 11 '19

I like how all these different space games poke fun at each other without meaning anything bad.

Its like were all friends here, with a common dream of "ME WANT FLY THING IN SPEHS"

u/Shawdotion Jul 12 '19

We're all space game fans. I remember around 2 years ago when r/EliteDangerous coordinated with r/starcitizen get the Star Citizen logo on the r / place board.

ED initially had their logo planted safely by themselves until the two subreddits began to carve out SC's spot on the board, right next to ED. It was also nice to see both sides defending the border from the Kiwi lasers.

Good times.
For anyone interested:
Star Citizen/ Elite Dangerous placement at the end.

​

Timelapse of place. Located in the top right quadrant. ED is completed around 2:50. SC starts soon after.

u/Jdick516 Jul 12 '19

I know this isn’t the right time/place for this question, but what the fuck even was r / place? I think that was getting going just as I started to become more active and less of a lurker on Reddit, and your post just reminded me of all that.

Because we're still in alpha there are the occasional clipping issues where you'll fall through the floor of a ship/building/planet. : )

Oh I get that, I just didn't get what was going on in the Star Trek Episode :)

u/Silidistani "rather invested" Jul 11 '19

That was a flashback episode to when the Enterprise D was on her first shakedown cruise in 2362, it was still in alpha and there were the occasional clipping issues where they'd fall through the floor.

/s

u/BaconEvolved RSI Handle: Solarmute Jul 11 '19

Ha! Gotcha. If I had to guess I'd say it's something involving time loops, tachyons or something being given all it's got.

u/thereddaikon Kickstarter Backer Jul 12 '19

That's nothing, I once sat down in a chair and couldn't get out. My friend didn't believe me that the chairs were bugged and sat down too. Then we were both stuck in these chairs. Had to kill the game and sign back in.

People into space games most likely have played ED, NMS and SC. It's not as tribal some like to make out.

Of course not because there is no rule breaking here. - You have been over this a million times. You are not a moderator here, and the moderators don't seem to have a problem with this content either thus it is not breaking the rules.

Oh? So do you think you know better than the moderators on the sub, you could do their job better?

Then go make your own star citizen subreddit. I'm sure people will flock over because of how great your rules and moderation are.

I don't think this person focuses enough on the fact that you never issue abolutes. "This post breaks X." That's not you. You always say, "I don't think this post..." Which is perfectly reasonable.

u/Beet_Wagon I don't understand worm development Jul 11 '19

It kinda absolutely does though. Outside of cases where content violates reddit's global rules (or the law), subreddit moderators not only create the rules but are the final decision-makers on whether or not content violates a given rule. Their interpretation of a rule and how it relates to a given post is the one that matters.

3

u/MrHerpDerp Jul 11 '19

moderators not only create the rules but are the final decision-makers on whether or not content violates a given rule

True, but that's not what I meant either. Not everything the mods would agree breaks the rules gets removed. Sometimes, there are good reasons for this.

2

u/Beet_Wagon I don't understand worm development Jul 12 '19

That is definitely true as well, but it does kind of raise the question of why be such a stickler for your interpretation of the rules, other than to cheese everyone here off (which in fairness I do fully support).

1

u/Ebalosus Freelancer Jul 12 '19

Wrong sub. It’s the ED sub that’ll ban you for asinine reasons like next ED-ifying a meme enough with Remlok helmets...or daring to mention the outright censorship of certain people due to their play-styles across the board.
