uh, guys...

They're failing to give us something to work with a little at a time to keep the promotion going - that's bad for them and bad for us.

And if it's not even in beta yet, I really have my doubts about them pulling off a good game at all, certainly not on schedule...

They aren't giving us a new engine (I don't think). This is basically a fancy mod.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

That could be. I see far too many signs that it's not going to be for me, but we don't and won't know enough to be sure until it's out and people have had time to try it...

[Sava]

so wait a week after release to get it

[Lorizael]

In the meantime, someone should probably do something with Apolyton's Twitter account. Nobody likes Twitter, but everybody uses it...

[Sava]

I don't. **** twitter.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

The first question is, who controls that twitter account. Plomp? Gühmann? Sounds up Aeson's alley if he can access.

so wait a week after release to get it

At least a month.

[Sava]

that's too long

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

That's what she said.


Look, it took over a month for everyone to decide/agree that Civ5 sucked. I was there, and would have gotten suckered if I'd ran out and bought it a week later when everyone was still enchanted by the new toy.

[Sava]

What's wrong with being enchanted by a new toy? Fun is fun.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Nothing. Just a week isn't enough time to let the less-frugal do my beta testing.

I have access to the @apolyton twitter account, which has 26 followers and hasn't been posted to since Oct 2010.

There's a couple other DL twitter accounts, since this is Apolyton after all ...

Why? Game breaking issues present very early. The only reason you'd need to wait longer is if a patch was delayed.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

I'm a miser. Leave me alone.

I don' know nothin' 'bout no Twitter, but apparently people go in for useless webs crap like that and Facebook in a big way and I heard they are great for flacking stuff... You can bring those follower numbers way up pretty easily, I'm guessing. You might consider giving Lori access and let him do it...
