Reality check, they only began accepting crowd donations/purchases in 2012 so like you said....keep it factual [heart]
Back to this... CR reckons on a year's development beforehand.
Admittedly RSI/CIG seem to have spent a lot of time re-doing whole chunks of their game so I dunno.
Keep it factual! weeks, not months, it's already in the game, real game assets rendered in real time in-engine - there's a massive list of facts to choose from, to fill as many lulzbuckets as you want.
<waves hands>
Buy a Polaris!

So they've been taking "donations" for 5 years. At which point year 6 starts.
I'm at numbers but even I can work that out!

this is clearly no good - where are the huge headsets and marker lines on his face? don't you know you can't do real mocap without those?
As if to prove the point
I think by 'strike-down' alternative explanations you mean 'question' - tbh i've not seen any explanations for the cross-fades from smooth float-cam on static figure to bumpy cam on moving figure.
It also seems very strange that folk would complain about us keeping discussing things here when there is constantly new things coming up, if not out, and a seemingly neverended set of twists and turns. It's fascinating - if the news stopped we'd stop..... there have been some pretty quiet points lately now there aren't all the fresh accounts to refute. It's just not a pro-active attack however people feel - there's no evidence for that
It's been 4 years, from october 2012 up to now (october 2016).
I don't know what to say here... did you recently get on a Delorean and saw some flashing lights as you accelerated to 88mph?

Please don't start with your conspiracy theories accusing Chris Roberts of lying in this interview. He's already saved PC gaming and he can't be wrong.

But what does that mean? What does 'one form or another' mean? If I ask the waiter "Do you believe I'll get the steak I ordere?", I dont feel very comfortable hearing "yes, you'll get a steak in one form or another. At some point in time."
I think that is what this all boils down to. What is the fail state for you? If you say "I believe I'll get something at some point, and no amount of failure, lies and broken promises will make me change my mind." then I dont think there is any reason to have any discussion at all. Yet you claim here to be open to other opinions. So let me ask a simple question: What will it take for you to lose 'faith' in CR delivering the game he promised?
If you count the versions in backers/RSI forum member's heads there are anywhere between 500k and 1.5 mill versions!
Keep away with that FUD and misinformation the pair of you.
Wiki quote : "The development of the game started in 2011"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Citizen#Development
Chris Roberts quotes 20th October 2012 :
"I’ve been working with a small team over the course of the past year to get the early prototyping and production done".
"We’re already one year in - another two years puts us at 3 total which is ideal. Any more and things would begin to get stale."
A year lasts, you know, a year. So the first year ended oct 2013, the 2nd 2014, the 3rd 2015, the 4th 2016, the fifth will start in a few days and end in 2017. Development itself started late 2011. So the fundraising has been going for four years, development for five.
Sometimes this forums blows my mind. It really does.

Well, it's 5th calendar year for sure but only about 4 years for funding if that started at the back end of 2012.
We get to add a year on for pre-dev so it's still ~5 years total.
Genuine Roberts never said any of that. The hate army of That Person personally modified the whole Internet to make it look like he did, but none of it is true!
Funding started in oct 2012. According to your post, the same day they started getting donations they had been 1 year accepting donations.
Let me explain it again:
Finding started in Oct 2012
So:
In Oct 2013 it's one year later.
In Oct 2014 it's 2 years later.
In Oct 2015 it's 3 years later.
In Oct 2016 it's 4 years later. Oh wait. Now it's Oct 2016!!!!
I can try to elaborate a more technical explanation if you need it.
Indeed but I'm talking about the number of years during which funding has taken place. And that is quite clearly 5 separate numerical years.
We know this because some genius decided to give each year a unique identifying number.
What you are describing is the time taken from the time funding started to the present time more or less, expressed in years.
Different things.
I rest my case!
According to Chris Roberts development started in October 2011, please explain how he was wrong.
Dude we were talking about funding, he was talking about funding.
Let me repeat it again in bold: Funding.
Can't believe how you guys can mix concepts and numbers so easily...
ianw: so if i start funding for a project on Dec 31th 2016... then 24 hours later "i have been accepting donations for a year"??? Or maybe even for 2 years, accepting that by Jan 1 2017 i would have been accepting donations on both 2016 and 2017?
