Indeed - the resulting SDC station flip, the snip-snip of yelping puppies, and tasty Salty Dogmaa Oysters would have been worth a mention.
I'm glad SDC got their name in lights. Hopefully it'll tempt them into doing something else lulzworthy![]()
It's the internet. Of course there's a standardized metric for measurement of accomplishment. It's called views:

Then don't latch on to me going ham with "Open only play" Look at my other posts with half-measures. Work with me, don't drive me to the other end of the spectrum because you don't like changing something that challenges "Because" "KS promised" "X people would quit"
Be better than that.
SDC members tell Eurogamer they will quit the game if they are banned - and claim Elite Dangerous will die without them.
*shrug* what SDC did would be ground for perma-banning in some circles. But as they didn't break any actual EULA, or laws or regulations, so far... Practically all the fault falls on Mobius for being too trusting in accepting people - it's not something FD could or should do anything about. "Could" being one keyword here - FD can't by any means regulate anything which isn't their own territory - and all player groups fall outside of their "jurisdiction", they can't truly do a thing.
Depends on the context, SDC did earn itself some notoriety, so I think it's something worth congratulating.
Unless you have a standardized metric for measurement of accomplishment that is universally accepted, which I doubt.
What notoriety? They in whole are less known than you are, in person. So I surmise their notoriety is about.... well, non-existent?
What notoriety? They in whole are less known than you are, in person. So I surmise their notoriety is about.... well, non-existent? 99.9999% or so don't care, even less know about.
And I personally mourn that now, we congratulate notoriety instead of honour.

There's (outside SDC) perhaps a dozen or so people who even know what the shorthand stands for. What it stands for anyway?
That is a mere perspective, since you are equating popularity and potential fiat currency revenue as accomplishment.
Simply Frontier have learned the same lesson that CCP learned years ago. Grief leads to articles, articles lead to publicity and publicity leads to sales.
The future I cannot see, a dark cloud surrounds everything. It is nice to see the 13th Legion in there.
And I personally mourn that now, we congratulate notoriety instead of honour.
"I read an article about you killing other players in a game that allows PVP. You're fired."
where is my paycheck?
Nah, not me. It's Industry standard and social convention.
Of course you can define success as having the biggest collection of pre-licked stamps as your personal success and rejoice if the stamp collector magazine writes about it.
I read an article about your antisocial attitude & behavior and the fact you enjoy bullying other players because you can. We don't appreciate that sort of mindset at our company. Good luck in your job search.
Smile Dog Crew.
Third paragraph, first sentence.
I should also mention that they've gained more than enough notoriety. I certainly know them better now than you or anyone else in this thread.
It's all relative.
