I think almost everyone's at least an affiliate of Pagan

I think Pagan is a bit like the machine in Lost, if you dont mention their name on here every 108min then there are catastrophic consequences

What i do find very strange is that a week or 2 ago on WMH they showed them building the new WMH set, and now they're cancelling that show and moving the community show to LA, so what exactly happened where they built a new set then 5wks after they move there, they relocate the whole thing elsewhere. I can understand if Eric's role in SC means he's more important being focused on the development, but he's become a popular figure in the community and surely it doesnt occupy too much of his time, it cant be any different to CR doing 10FTC.

Well i'm not her biggest fan but I nowhere near occupy myself with all things SC for it to bother me either. But 'pretty' though? meh.

I did find it strange about the new studio and the sudden reorganisation. I have no doubt in my mind that something has happened behind the scenes, but it probably also makes sense for the reasons theyre touting it. Ill wait and see if 'round the verse' (usage of that phrase annoying me as a firefly fan) is any cop, but again, not enough of a fan to really get worked up about it.

I think they're probably trying to get Eric more focused on keeping Austin on target as he is supposed to be head honcho over there.

With prepping for WMH each week and Hangover along with Michael Morland & Rob Irving I suspect it takes a fair amount of time away from their main job of designing & producing the game. Plus I felt that the content within WMH was getting worse, especially the Forum Feedback as that was being diluted by Ten for the Chairman which is better imho as it comes direct from Chris.

Sandi, is nice enough and probably does a decent job in the background and is a pretty enough face to get some of the geeks worked up, but she does seem like a fish out of water when discussing gaming in general.

Oh and just a suggestion can you start a thread about Pagan as it's cluttering up the discussion about the game, which after all is the aim of the thread.
(I'm not dissing Pagan, how could another SC Guild be bad

- Just would like to see SC stuff in here, rather than unofficial guild chatter)

I thought Sandi is Chris's wife? She is in the original SC pitch video with their (?) kids. She does look a little uncomfortable in front of the camera, at least when talking about Star Citizen. It's as if she doesn't have real passion for it like the rest of us nerds! ;P

Is Pagan the org most people here are joining? It looks well organised, I'll pop in an application to join

EDIT: Speaking of which what do I have to do to join, do I need to do something on the RSI website?

EDIT2: I've tried to join on RSI but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Register on http://www.pagan-sc.org/ and PM me your username on the RSI site (I'm halfmad on both) and I'll see if I can find out why it's not worked, seen a few problems with the invites/applications module since the last update. It seems to cache itself for ages, then suddenly you have a couple of invites sitting which were sent in hours or days earlier.

Gazanimal has an org too though, I did ask in the past if we should make our own thread, also think it'd be a great idea for the Star Citizen thread to be redone - especially the OP which is utterly devoid of any useful information!

<- This is not me volunteering btw!

Registered on there, I registered on the forums already. Could have sworn that join us link on your site didn't work yesterday. My name is Darg in forums and in game.

Raumarik · 16 May 2014 at 16:10

You'll need to join us on this page too mate so it get's a request sent into the org system on the RSI site:

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/orgs/PAGAN

Ceryn seems to have added you on the forum though

Release date confirmed as May 29th full details here

Early backers get the Multiplay Version 1.0 and the rest get version 0.9 a single player version

Kishywish · 17 May 2014 at 08:17

May 29th given as the 'best possible date'.
So if there are slips in any of the critical path items, expect the programme to go back again.
Still, yay!

phatboy · 17 May 2014 at 08:29

Request sent this morning

I think from reading the info that V 0.9 single player pretty much set in stone, fingers crossed anyway. It's V 1.0 Full Multiplay that could slip as its being rolled out in stages as and when they can maintain stability.

phatboy · 17 May 2014 at 09:51

Thanks for the acceptance to org, glad to be part of the problem

Raumarik · 17 May 2014 at 10:08

Looking forward to free flight tbh pay with controllers and see how well I can crash !

LOAM · 17 May 2014 at 10:13

You pagans are growing nicely are you able to join multiples yet?

Raumarik · 17 May 2014 at 10:36

Yeah they dropped it in recently, we had a spurt in growth as a couple of orgs have merged into PAGAN. Grew that fast we capped our membership so we don't loose that community feel though

Still looks like the members are keen to grow to around 100 full members from the vote so plenty of space still.

I'll be making a PAGAN thread on OCUK later tonight.

Beer_MonsterUK · 17 May 2014 at 10:47

Gah ,typical.

I signed up for both SC & ED, and they release the multiplayer 1 day before the E : D Premium Beta.

I'm more excited by the E : D alpha 4/beta, so far, so I guess I'll be playing that more and let SC develop before picking it up.

Raumarik · 17 May 2014 at 10:50

Maybe knocking it a bit but think if I had access to either of them I'd toy about in AC then spend most of my time in Elite beta..

Backed both so not one of these Elite V SC people. Excited for both to be perfectly honest!

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I'm not knocking it as such ,but we've waited decent amount of time and they reach similar milestones within 24 hours of each other.

Meloco · 17 May 2014 at 13:36

@Halfmad - all signed up on your website, just need authorisation so I can join up on the RSI website as well.
