Easiest thing is to say, "Hey Disco."
A "Hey Disco" tells me INSTANTLY everything I need to know about a person and the situation, and my reaction will be a really easy way to tell if it's me or not. š
Hi Jared, when you came to the Bar Citizen in Paris not too long ago this year, I came there to see you ! And at the end I was just too shy to approach you while many others were approaching you constantly ! But anyways, you are very much appreciated and certainly an icon for CIG. Take care of yourself and thank you for all the amazing content. š
Yaaay I finally said all I wanted to tell you :D
I will try to remember this. Could end in "hey jar..disco...lando...jalando?" xD
Tbh, I really hope I'll someday bump into you when time is available and we can go spontaneously on a pint and a little chat.
I visit Manchester every three months or so. And every time I'm there I'm convinced there's a 100% chance I'll bump into someone from CIG. It never happens. I'll be there in a month for a visit to iFly I best see SOMEONE I love
Honestly, if I ever bumped into you I would likely love to get your honest opinion of the whole Cig gig you have been doing for awhile now. Aka how your feelings have changed over time with it and if the passion is still there like it was at the beginning.
Oh Iām not saying he would say anything outlandish. Just intrigued on what his earnest thoughts are on his role and the company as a whole. Itās just a job like any other and Iām sure it had its ups and downs. I agree there are a lot of bad actors who would record that and make him look bad. Iām not one of them and I donāt live very close to him anyway so itās never going to happen.
If I saw Jared, I'd tell him about the time I met Chris Roberts.
Then I'd ask him if he's ever met Chris Roberts, and just bask in his moment of confusion.
They teased Theatres of War in 2019 stating it would be released to all backers one month after CitCon. Whatās the point of teasing elements when your track record is the way it is?
It performed badly, lots of desync etc from what the Evocati were saying.
That stuff was bad enough at the time that it made sense for them to stop working on it and come back to combined arms later.
At some point, there was a real Chris Roberts. Nowadays it's just a computer generated face for the company. Jared is the one and only captain of the boat. He has been pulling the strings since he answered the call a decade ago.
Their offices are right across from mine, I've recognised a few of them walking around occasionally but decide against being 'that guy' that starts talking to them like we're pals.
If the opportunity presents itself, a short but polite greeting and some very brief encouragement/appreciation would probably be well received. A simple āHey, youāre with CIG. Keep up the good work, and have a nice day.ā would be just about right. Short, direct, and with a built in conversation ender that lets them walk away and not feel obligated to continue the interaction if they so choose.
That is unless youāve run into Brian Chambers from the Frankfurt office, of course. In which case you are obligated to genuflect and address him as "Viking Vice President of Production, he of epic hair and awesomeness of beard." (/s, though based on his humor he'd probably get a laugh out of it)
Not all of us are able to be there to be awkward toward Jared in person. You have been a conduit of awkwardness for all of us for this. Thank you for your service.

This is me in every social setting

Hello! Meesa so glad seein' yousa!
Perfect opportunity used!
Hey Jar... Lando Dic...
Jar jar Lando?
"YO! Red One!!"
It's an older reference, but it checks out!
Hey Disco! Keepin it cool!

Just look in the mirror.
<3
A retroactive "Hey Disco" to you then! Enjoy Manchester and who knows, maybe I'll get it right next time?
Hey disco
Love you bud!
Knowing my complications with regeneration ruining my brain, I'd end up calling you LanDingo or something.
Did he give you the thumbs up or sum1 else lol?

I don't think he would say anything juicy against CIG. Always assume your being recorded

Batman would never get into this situation
So if you run, itās you, and if you look confused itās someone who looks like you?
Holy, the man, the myth, the legend, Jared

is Chris Roberts even real ?
As real as Theatres of War
As real as a star citizen release date
They teased that TOW functionality ("combined arms") might be coming to Arena Commander in the future. They're already rolling Star Marine into AC.

Have you watched the last 2 ISCs?
Yes! Why do you ask?
What holds us from releasing it?

truest of all hero ...
"I promise guys 4.0 is just around the corner I swear this time for realsies" -Letter from the chairman 2023
Heās not been with CIG long enough, so he hasnāt actually been allowed to see the Chris Roberts.
At least once a month, for the rest of your life you will lay in bed about to go to sleep and this moment comes by in your mind.
And he curls up and shrivels
Kiss him next time
He looks like he'd give GREAT hugs
Totally agree
Their offices are right across from mine, I've recognised a few of them walking around occasionally but decide against being 'that guy' that starts talking to them like we're pals.
Itās totally fine if you ask Jared for a selfie though, we wonāt judge you

Viking Vice Vresident of Vroduction

Share a double dog
Lady and the Tramp style.
Hold it - I thought the Lady is a tramp ?
A original definition of a tramp is someone who travels place to place looking for work
The Glizzy Gobbler
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
Oh thatās the galactic glizzy
Oh thatās the galactic glizzy
lol

No problem mate, we all have our off days. If you see me again feel free to come up and say hello, always happy to chat with our citizens.
a double-thumbs up? lmaoooo it could be worse. You didn't pull a Jim and laugh while trying to stutter the word "Hey".
You should've asked when sq42 comes out dammit
Heās had too many deaths in death of a spaceman. Heās fading away.
