Title: Guess who's birthday it is.
Post by: Martinus on April 03, 2005, 07:07:31 pm: [color=66ff00]Bearing in mind that it's April 4th here.

Happy birthday Derek Smart.

Perhaps we should all pitch in and get him a copy of FS2? ;)

Post by: Rictor on April 03, 2005, 07:07:06 pm: Dare me to Photoshop a fake diploma certifying him "Doctor of Smartness" or "Certified Alpha Male".

Dare me.

edit: timewarp. And the winning lottery number are....

Post by: StratComm on April 03, 2005, 07:09:04 pm: Rictor: even funnier that way. I personally would rather not remind him of his foolish ambitions, less he decides he needs to use his blackmail money to buy a point.

gargh, I explicitly said this was a crappy, unfinished version!

Post by: Grey Wolf on April 03, 2005, 07:58:39 pm: I'm sincerely afraid Smart is going to show up here again. I'm not sure if I could survive that.

Post by: Blitzerland on April 03, 2005, 08:04:02 pm: :lol:

I'm sure this is really old, but have you seen Derek's personal site? What a loser. Apparently he even used to have a forum dedicated to the discussion of himself. :ick:

My hotmail account froze during the sending process, so I'm not sure if it got through. We'll see. :drevil:

He's been here before?
lol. Must of been before my time.
Would it still be in the archives?

*Goes off to do a search*

Title: Guess who's birthday it is.
Post by: Grey Wolf on April 03, 2005, 08:23:24 pm: It was right after the whole thing where he was going to buy the FS liscense. He came and insulted our forums with his swollen ego. Really quite horrible.

Post by: Blitzerland on April 03, 2005, 10:47:37 pm: It would really suck to have a bajillion websites dedicated to making fun of you. And his latest flamewars actually weren't his fault, a lot of people seem to be baiting him, even if all he does is post a random, non-insulting comment (although rare, it happens).

If he didn't act like a complete moron when he came to HLP, I'd almost feel sorry for him.

Post by: Unknown Target on April 03, 2005, 11:50:31 pm: Has anyone actually ever read the BC forums? That's pretty funny in and of itself :)
Title: Guess who's birthday it is.
Post by: StratComm on April 04, 2005, 01:04:21 am: I sincerely hope that wasn't sent. This forum has had enough drama in the past week to last it a year. No more, please.

On that note, yes, I have read the BC forums once. That was more than enough for me. If I didn't know better, I'd say that everyone posting there without a gripe is one of his personal cronies or himself under an alias, if just to build up his ego.

Post by: NGTM-1R on April 04, 2005, 01:24:52 am: It's such a pity, too. With a halfway decent programmer and a decent QA team, Battlecruiser could be a cool game.
Title: Guess who's birthday it is.
Post by: Carl on April 04, 2005, 01:40:09 am: that's true of most of his games, but he just sets out to do way too much.

You mean he's ever done anything besides Battlecruiser games? The only reason UC wasn't called Battlecruiser something-or-other is because he changed publishers and they didn't want the name association.

:lol: Could we have a version with a blank/dashed line for a custom name instead of "Derek Smart" ?
It would be a special gift for someone I know.

Post by: Grey Wolf on April 04, 2005, 05:23:41 pm: Evidently, Derek Smart is farther back on the evolutionary path than I thought. I was thinking somewhere around howler monkey, to tell you the truth.
