those guys that you mentioned that were kicked off the mod team - the exact guys who gave this mod its bad name on launch?
you know, the guys who in the first attempt at this, put a literal swastika in the game that if you scanned, made your character say "hmm maybe fascism isn't actually worse than communism" (or along those lines)? those guys? solo wing pixy or whoever the ♥♥♥♥ and medic-something?

i just want to know if i can safely install this mod without it being something managed by someone who literally unironically thought the above was a good idea

The current "dev" is not a "cool dude"

He is the same Medicfast90 (with a new name) that put the swastikas and fascist ♥♥♥♥ in the original US.E which is the precursor to GiC.

And it is because of this idiocy that I, as the writer, was spat upon for completely unrelated ♥♥♥♥ when people performed mental gymnastics to try and accuse anything of being bigoted, fascist, or whatever.

The people he removed were contributors like me. He lied to you. Still lies to you. And he lied to himself:

He told himself that these people were "parasites" leeching off his narcissistic greatness.

He sits on content that he did not create and enjoys the ego-stroking of getting to say that he is a "solo dev"

He holds that same content hostage because it was made for this project and if I or any past contributors give him any trouble, he threatens to remove it. He has already tried to remove a lot of it. He has failed. It is still there.

Echo, the creator of the EWS engine, sat by and did nothing, probably doing as little as possible to remain as unaffected as possible. He was always in a position to leverage the necessity of the EWS engine over GiC by threatening to withdraw it.

He did not.

Because what Med/Tengu has done is the same thing he has always done. That's why the project is so big.

Hopefully someone can read this before he deletes it. He is prone to information control and will gladly smokescreen that fact with more lies. Just like how he tried to mute me in the main GiC Discord before he could find a way to make me disappear quietly. Which he failed to do.

This isn't a cry for help or desperation. This isn't a complaint; It's just what happened.
I'm not inclined to waste too much time complaining.

Instead I have begun working on something that will have an effect. And hopefully, you will all see the fruits of that labor in months to come.

read and snipped, thank you. wish you had said that 8 days ago BEFORE i added this to my starbound world. i found it a little odd that the current GiC guy was still hosting the US.E mod. although another inconsistency is that earlier this year when GiC had a sudden burst of attention i checked the page to see that it was solo wing who was hosting US.E, not med.

were these 2 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the same guy?

Look, as someone who spent years of my life working on this project, I still want you to try and enjoy it. And if my machinations pull through in a few months, I'll have rectified the situation regardless.

I, and anyone who already knows, can tell you with full certainty that Med is the same guy that made US.E

GiC was made by more people than just him.

But he clearly wants people to forget about US.E and to think that GiC was all his work.

Which is not true.

so... who was solo wing then? because i remember way back when it was just US.E that med and solo wing were both on the project
Pop-Top Atlas 29 Nov, 2023 @ 8:21am 
The person you remember probably goes by the name Ferilata now or something.
Used to be hardcore conservative...now turned furry.
Used to draw jets.

Stuck his head back into the GiC Discord when I still lived there.
Didn't get a warm welcome. Especially after he tried modifying art and calling it his own.
Just another one of us that Med used in the past and threw away.

that's an... interesting turn of events for sure. the draw jets thing makes it make sense. i remember he was responsible for the ace combat references in US.E

dam, i dint know all of this, seems its all a dirty lie, welp, i just hope that your proyect (pop top atlas) gets to be as good, or even better, than this destroyed masterpiece of artwork and weapons, but lies and desperation
hope it all goes good atlas, ill be there for the new proyect
(btw if possible tell trought here so i get to know about when its releasing, im all in)
jsgamer1442 29 Nov, 2023 @ 10:26am 
btw if ur able to, pop top atlas, pls tell me, or even make a tread whit the full backstory and lore of this mods creation, the group of investors that worked in here like you, and how, why and when did tengu get rid of yall, this sound like some actually interesting lore...
Pop-Top Atlas 29 Nov, 2023 @ 10:37am 
There's way too much actual lore to talk about.
It's still there; Still in the game/mod. A lot of it is still my writing:
It's in the item descriptions, food descriptions, trinket descriptions...
Codex lore. Mission quest text. Radio messages. NPC dialogue.

The Chinese translation team (that he attacked in paranoia) confirmed that a lot of my work still remains despite how he tried to gouge, gut, and remove chunks of it.

When Med attacked them, he created a self-fulfilling prophecy that drove them into my arms.
He attacked them because he didn't think they were "real" and when he pushed his Patreon on them to try and make them "pay up" he got nothing and kicked them out of the GiC Discord in return.

The artist largely responsible for the entirety of Crusade worlds has looked at the mod files and says a lot of credit for his work is missing. I haven't checked myself but you should see his name in the scan-description of every piece of Glitch artwork that can be stolen and sold. If it's missing then things have only gotten worse.

Never mind that Med also arbitrarily removed a completely different artist who was responsible for all the high-resolution images of guns on most tool-tips when you mouse-over your gun.

Look, there's a lot more dirt to dig up. I wouldn't know where to begin because I wasted 2 months of my life considering the narcissistic accusations that Med threw against me, back when I still saw him as a friend.

But after I saw what he started doing to others, I realized it was all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and began my "project" which is not what you think it is, and it's not worth talking about until it is done. What I have been working on will be very obvious when it is revealed. There's not a lot of "creativity" involved in it.

The best thing you can do right now is right-click this page and copy the URL and throw it into the Starbound main Discord so that people can feast on the carrion like the animals that they are.

Hatred is a hobby and when you play a broken game for broken children, it's the only hobby animals like that can afford.

Nonetheless, it will cause him some pain and exacerbate the weight of his lies. But I don't expect that alone to snap his back. That's why I continue to work on something more important.

Hurting him is something I have done in the past. I did so to instruct him when I believed he was wrong. To an extent, that much has never changed.

But I don't believe I hold any moral high-ground in doing so. I do it because I can. And he does what he does because he can. There is no greater thoughtfulness to this. Only escalation.

Neat. Yeah, that'll undermine him deleting it. I have also saved this conversation as a .pdf
