Drew Wagar explains how the "Salome" in-game event for Elite Dangerous and his new book "Premonitions" went down, and how easy it is to dupe gullible rubes from the Elite Dangerous community.
00:00 - 00:05 | So Frontier Developments says to me hey, hurry up with that book Premonitions! |
00:05 - 00:07 | And I'm like, nobody gives a shit about this thing! |
00:07 - 00:10 | They suggest, how about letting the players decide the ending? |
00:11 - 00:16 | And I have to ask them, how do you figure that's going to work? |
00:17 - 00:21 | They say: how about a massive in-game event? |
00:21 - 00:24 | In-game event! |
00:29 - 00:31 | In-game event! |
00:31 - 00:34 | This game can barely keep people connected for five minutes! |
00:38 - 00:40 | In-game event! |
00:41 - 00:47 | And people bought it! They really thought FD could pull it off! So we tell them we'll let them decide Salome's fate! |
00:47 - 00:50 | You can choose to either defend or attack her! |
00:50 - 00:56 | You could be immortalized forever in my new book! We called it "emergent gameplay"! |
00:58 - 00:59 | Emergent gameplay! |
00:59 - 01:01 | In Elite Dangerous! |
01:04 - 01:06 | Emergent gameplay, can you believe it? |
01:06 - 01:08 | In Elite. Dangerous. |
01:13 - 01:14 | In-game event! |
01:14 - 01:16 | They believed this ridiculous crap! |
01:16 - 01:20 | That they could affect anything in this game? |
01:21 - 01:27 | People were climbing all over themselves to sign up for this thing! |
01:35 - 01:36 | Elite Dangerous! |
01:36 - 01:39 | People really expect this thing to happen, I mean, my god! |
01:41 - 01:44 | Ok, so this is going to happen. We had to get serious. |
01:44 - 01:47 | So we get this gamer group to run the thing, Children of Raxxla |
01:47 - 01:49 | Bunch of guys with no life, right? |
01:50 - 01:53 | They say, ok we'll get some "defense" set up for Salome. |
01:54 - 01:56 | Defense! |
01:56 - 01:58 | As if this is actually a thing? |
01:58 - 02:02 | As if I didn't write the ending for this shit already? |
02:05 - 02:07 | In-game event! |
02:10 - 02:11 | And the best part! |
02:11 - 02:13 | No, the best part! |
02:15 - 02:17 | I told them, ok! We need some intrigue! |
02:17 - 02:20 | How about you make SDC part of the defense force? |
02:21 - 02:28 | SDC are the biggest sack of scumbags this game has! And they say, yeah sure! That would be so awesome! |
02:29 - 02:30 | SDC the griefer clan? |
02:30 - 02:32 | The griefer clan, that's right! |
02:36 - 02:39 | And these idiots still believe this shit is real! |
02:40 - 02:42 | This is real gameplay! |
02:50 - 02:55 | I can't understand how these people are able to function at all. |
02:56 - 02:58 | So weren't people upset after? |
02:58 - 03:04 | Of course not, the white knight morons on the FD forums |
03:04 - 03:09 | They just write shit defending everything that happened and say it was "fun"! |
03:09 - 03:11 | Saddest bunch you can possibly imagine. |
03:16 - 03:20 | You want to know how Salome "died"? |
03:23 - 03:26 | This loser Harry Potter that everyone hates |
03:31 - 03:36 | That's who "killed" her! Oh my god what rubes! |
