You forget that there are not only the whales and cult members that buy anything, there are also a huge number of speculators that buy limited ships to sell on the grey market ships. This grey market is where most of these ships are waiting for whales to snatch them up because they are rare.
Yes but that doesnt account for the STEADY days. There arent any that I saw (I didnt put it under a microscope) where I didnt see at least 20K a day coming in. 20K a day is HUGE. And that is the minimums I saw. Since 'rare' ships are supposed to be rare, the premise youre making, and I can get with. You would think they would sell out quickly and from all reports they do.
Now (speculation time) are they selling these rare ships to people on the sly? To make 25K a day they would have to sell 10 2500 ships. everyday for the past 3 years. Or 500 50 dollar ships. EVERY SINGLE DAY, to keep that number steady. I just dont believe it. Them making a million a day here or there is way more believable than them STEADILY grinding out 20+k a day every day (with those HUGE days also mixed in) over the course of the 3 years or so that doc represents. They were getting 50+ K a day ,mst of 2014, they didnt have the 20K days until June of this year those seemed to have lasted a couple months but there has been an increase in 'bigger' days since Oct.
So I just dont get it. The document is set up so you can see where the big days coincide with 'sales'or resales or introductions of new ships or versions, also correlated with new vif releases or updates to something. But there are stretches where there is nothing being said or done and theyre still pulling in that kind of money? just doesnt make sense.
You realize they ban backers that talk bad about SC on other sites? So my guess is you may have already been banned.
Can you please provide us with the relevant info ?
Just check their forums and rules.
You can play dumb as long as you like, i will keep asking.
You wrote that they are banning backers for talking bad about SC on other boards.
Link us the relevant info. Show us.
Do what you like, if you have no clue how to research things that isn't my problem. It is all there to read.
You guys are in the need to prove your assumptions and accusations, or do you realy think we like research every single silly thing you post in this forum or believe what you are saying? That is yet the problem with you guys, you could avoid it easily by providing us with links that proves your claims.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

As you can see, after you posted, that generated several reasonable doubts from different users.
Still waiting. Just prove us wrong. Follow your own advice
Oh... wait... You can't. You have nothing, but your own speculations. And you are far from having any evidence to prove your points, so that made your argument even weaker than any other that I have been seen presented her, to demonstrate that the doubts are valid and reasonable and that CIG's attitude is at the minimum, odd.

Let's bring an example now. Let's be objective (one of your complaints), focusing in just one thing.
This statement:
"The game-as-described in the original crowdfunding campaign included Squadron 42, regular community updates and an alpha multiplayer only."
It was made by Chris Roberts recently in two occasions in similar form. One, in his letter to The Escapist and previously, in the Letter of "I am back" when he came back from the performance capture works on UK. Do you need links to prove that, or you acknowledge, based in your deep research and following, that he said that? Don't worry. If you really need. I can provide, making a quick research here.
If not necessary the links, I just ask you and anyone else who decides to engage in the discussion... is that statement true?

Seems like you are never happy with anything, even if it shown to you black on white, so be it.
And btw, the only one with speculations which were never proven, is...taaada...you.
Im not gonna play this game with you, since you just avoid to bring any proof.
Its your turn first, mister.
Have fun!
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
So now it really comes to a head. And it will make people scramble to rethink their arguments.
Has SC REALLY 'raised'/made 102 million? If so then the orignal arguments still are valid. If they HAVENT then how much HAVE they made/raised and why the inflated numbers?
The reasons are obvious but if they are inflated and the number is much lower then it would explain why there are delays and why this demo theyre trying to pass as an alpha is in the state its in.
So what is better truth or hope? If the money doesnt exists are people still hopeful that with numbers that are real the game can be made. If the numbers are real we already know people are hopeful and downright defiant it will get made. There are of course people on the fence that see the numbers being quoted, and see the product and of course want more from it.
If they are inflated and they really are spending what (little) they have on the game and they really did rebuild the engine then theyre performing a financial miracle. Unless the numbers are 'only' fudged by 100% I think for 50 mil they could rebuild the engine and have a broken demo to show for it.
Unfortunately that fanmade CIG sourced spreadsheet actually raises more questions than it answers.
Seems like you are never happy with anything, even if it shown to you black on white, so be it.

Since you are claiming that your spreadsheet shows everything that I asked for, for what I asked evidence, and since you presented that, and maybe I am just failing to understand the spreadsheet, please tell me.
How many new backers pledged more than 1 dollar this month?
How many backers that paid for something Star Citizen have?
How many individuals (considering that some have multiple packages) Star Citizen have, as backers? Probably you will get this from CIG. They are so transparent, right? There is no reason so they would hide such information, after all, they claim to be a massive success all the time. Win-win situation here, right?
That's what I want to know. Just that. Pretty quick, simple, in case you told the true about your evidence or even Chris Roberts, when claimed to Escapist, while accusing them to lie, that "had nothing to hide".
And just one more: Considering the backers which pledge frequently, I want a graph to see
if their individual pledges have been growing or dropping along the
years.
If I am wrong in my statements... these statistics will prove me wrong. So... finish with me. Prove me wrong. Don't worry. It will prove not just me. But all the people with doubts wrong too. It's going to worth your effort to gather the data, from your source, that you claimed to have everything that is needed. More than any reply defending CIG that you did along these years.
Its probably not corollary, their first 100K backers they were right at 7 million. At 200K backers they were at around 12 million. At 300K they were at 27 million raised. This rise can be attributed to more hype and ships being 'given' to pledgers. 400K backers they were at 39.5 million raised. Hype train fully on the tracks....500K backers (19 months after kickstarter and 16 months ago) 48 million; 600K backers 54 million raised; 700K backers 68 million; 800K 75 million; 900k 83 million; 1 million backers 92 million; 1.1 million backers 101 million dollars raised.
You realize they ban backers that talk bad about SC on other sites? So my guess is you may have already been banned.

This is not how it works broh,
You are the one with the accusations and the "facts" about SC and CR, you are expected to provide the evidence in order to back up your claims. And from now on every time you come forth with things like "CR did that" or "CR said that" or "CiG did so" i will be there asking you to link us the info.

Take those break points for what theyre worth.
Ops... there is a problem. You quickly felt in the trap...
What you refer as 100k...200k...300k... and so on... are not "backers". Are website accounts.
April 26th 2013 the spreadshhet claims near 160k to what you referred as "backers" meaning 1 backer, 1 individual who paid something, accurately speaking right?
Here's the statement of Roberts in that day:
"Over 40,000 people have signed up to use the Roberts Space Industries
website without backing the game and this promotion is designed to offer
them a final chance to back the game before prices go up and access to
the site and the alpha are dropped. "
"According to our database we have over 40,000 users that signed up but
have yet to back. Some of these may be accounts of people that have
pledged but their account is unlinked. Some are secondary accounts of
people that have backed through a different account. Some of these will
be people that signed up but have since decided that they are not
interested in Star Citizen. The last group are people that are
interested but aren’t ready to back yet, either because they are not
convinced just yet, or are waiting until they can play something. A
really interesting statistic is that almost 20,000 of the accounts with
Golden Ticket status show as of not having a pledge!"
Notice that in the last Roberts statement, he is not referring or indicating how many of those PAID accounts are multiple accounts paid of the same person.
That will give us 120k paid accounts, considering that statement of Roberts true, in that day... but how many... individuals? And how many individuals were gifted, having a package but not really putting their money on it (a good number, so we can evaluate how is the level of trust going along the road)?
Ahh well I was looking at the google doc. I dont bother with conspiracies I take what I can read and see and do what I can with it.
But if the numbers are hat low the only way theyre making money steadily over the past 3 years is if (multiple) people are sending them money every single day. Which is highly unlikely.

That will give us 120k paid accounts, considering that statement of Roberts true, in that day... but how many... individuals?
And with this you prove what exactly?
Btw, i am still waiting for that info about CR stating that he needs 150 mil. for Squadron 42. Since you are so handy with providing proof this shouldn't be difficult for you.
Ahh well I was looking at the google doc. I dont bother with conspiracies I take what I can read and see and do what I can with it.
But if the numbers are hat low the only way theyre making money steadily over the past 3 years is if (multiple) people are sending them money every single day. Which is highly unlikely.
Well... it's not a conspiracy theory. That is a fact. The number that you referred as backers, is not backers. Easy to confirm looking to the own Roberts statements, as I linked.
Ahh well I was looking at the google doc. I dont bother with conspiracies I take what I can read and see and do what I can with it.
But if the numbers are hat low the only way theyre making money steadily over the past 3 years is if (multiple) people are sending them money every single day. Which is highly unlikely.
You do mean what you can read coming form CR is all true. Anyone else it isn't true right? You can't have it just one way. You need to dig for the truth on both sides. Right?

CR isn't accusing anyone for practicing a scam. You and the guy above are doing so. You need to back up your word and your claims.
I am still waiting for both you and jcrg99 to provide the info i asked for. Let's see how much worth your word has.
In the spreadsheet you can clearly see the increase of citizens and at the same time the increase of $ from $81,264 on 2015-12-12 (the time Alpha 2.0 went live) to $122,663 on 2015-12-13 (which was they day they reached 100 mio, from 99,952,219 on 2015-12-12 to 100,074,882 on 2015-12-13).
Citizens increased in this time from 1,084,066 to 1,088,711. Its unlikely that it is all coincidence right after the Alpha 2.0 went live. And the numbers are constantly increasing in $ and citizens (and backers). And when i remembert it right, all i was saying is that more people are backing this game, which is a fact, believe it or not.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

"The

Squadron 42, regular community updates and an alpha multiplayer only."
It
was made by Chris Roberts recently in two occasions in similar form.
One, in his letter to The Escapist and previously, in the Letter of "I
am back" when he came back from the performance capture works on UK.
Is that statement true?
P.S. Just an addendum, but please does not focus on that, just answer the question, but its a fact that CR accused The Escapist, Derek Smart and many other backers and ex-employees of "scam".
Sure there is no evidence for this, until someone is hacking into the CIG Account of Ortwin.
For the steady numbers I could imagine that they had some private Investors and instead of raising the numbers by a huge amount in one go (which would call the IRS on plan) they are raising it by tiny bits, especially on low sale days to hold up the illusion that the income is steady (for the financial institutes and fans).
These are my own thoughts, I have neither links nor protocols to verify.
When you have cake, it is not the cake that creates the most magnificent of experiences, but it is the emotions attached to it. The cake is a lie.

Now (speculation time) are they selling these rare ships to people on the sly? To make 25K a day they would have to sell 10 2500 ships. everyday for the past 3 years. Or 500 50 dollar ships.

It was made by Chris Roberts recently in two occasions in similar form. One, in his letter to The Escapist and previously, in the Letter of "I am back" when he came back from the performance capture works on UK.
Is that statement true?
P.S. Just an addendum, but please does not focus on that, just answer the question, but its a fact that CR accused The Escapist, Derek Smart and many other backers and ex-employees of "scam".
For the steady numbers I could imagine that they had some private Investors and instead of raising the numbers by a huge amount in one go (which would call the IRS on plan) they are raising it by tiny bits, especially on low sale days to hold up the illusion that the income is steady (for the financial institutes and fans).
These are my own thoughts, I have neither links nor protocols to verify.
When you have cake, it is not the cake that creates the most magnificent of experiences, but it is the emotions attached to it.
The cake is a lie.
