Hi citizens,

Looking for small-medium ANZ corporation focused on PVE and PVPVE, big events, mining and crafting.

This post might stir up some controversy, maybe I'll get downvoted into oblivion — but I can't keep quiet, because my reputation has been dragged through the mud.

A bit about me:
I've been in Star Citizen since day one of the Kickstarter. I've contributed a lot to the community — mainly through software tools and localization work. I'm one of the first 10 contributors to the project that brought translations of the game to many languages, including projects like StarStrings by MrKraken. I've never tried to promote myself — I don't even have a single referral to this day. 🙂

For a long time I played solo, then found a like-minded friend in Australia and started exploring the game's content together. But as Star Citizen has grown, lone wolf gameplay has become increasingly tough, so we started looking for an active PvE + industry-focused org in our timezone. We landed on
Southern Cross Alliance (SCA)— the largest in the ANZ region, so there wasn't much of a choice.

The first few days were fun. It was patch 4.7, everyone was hunting blueprints and high-quality materials. But even then, it was unclear how resources contributed to the communal pool were actually being distributed. I dutifully attended every rare material farming event and handed everything quality over to director EchoBit. But my questions went unanswered and I received no real help. Whenever I tried to ask for something to be built or to run a blueprint mission together, the answer was usually "we already did that, do it yourself." Which begs the question — what's the point of a guild if I can do it alone anyway?

That question was answered in 4.8, when the new mass mission TSG dropped. It was an absolute blast — bugs, chaos, fighting through discussion waves just to get a party invite. The content was worth it. But, as with all such events, there was loot involved. We were ordered not to touch any loot on the station — everything goes to the guild. Fine, we all did exactly that. Except... there's no way to identify a module without pointing your tractor beam at it. I simply aimed my beam to inspect something and got screamed at me.

I then asked who would actually receive all these rewards — because there was zero transparency in loot distribution, everything was decided by EchoBit with no feedback loop. Classic 5% own everything while the rest work the rice fields.

For asking too many questions, I was kicked. And the stated reason?

>
"Multiple instances of anti-social behaviour, not listening to comms, attempted theft of items."

THEFT.
They called me a thief. Me — someone who has spent 14+ years contributing to this game's community. EchoBit unilaterally decided to label me with words that are now permanently written in the RSI database. I'm turning 50 soon. I have a family and kids. Defaming someone's reputation like this, without any appeal, is simply unacceptable.

Why does someone who isn't even from ANZ get to decide whether I belong in the ANZ community? Why is she allowed to publicly smear my name?

I just want this to be known.
