Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

What happens if a player wins a beta slot and they do not have the time to devote to it and everything?

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

I hope they can give it to someone else, since that's what I'd probably end up doing in the extremely unlikely event I actually won a beta slot...

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yeah, same here. As great of an honor as it would be I do not have the time I'd need to dedicate to the project. I did when Starfury came out but not anymore. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I'm sure that you could work out an exchange with one of the people that wins a free copy of the game. That way they get to beta (and eventually get their free copy) and you would be assured to get a copy even if you don't have the time to be on the beta.

Just a thought. Any of you think this sounds reasonable?

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

Just a reminder to those who are sitting on the fence... There are 9 copies of the game here for grabs......


Also... I have noticed some big names that have not joined up yet... hint hint...

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

Sounds reasonable to me. By the way, if a beta test is won, what exactly does it entail in terms of time committed and the duties expected of a beta tester??

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

Why, no less than selling your very soul to the game, and other unpleasant things along these lines. This offer does come with string attached after all.

Now that my attempt at levity has wonderfully failed, I will thank Slynky for having secured my own entry. So, thanks Slynky! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Quite welcome, Alneyan. (one of the good things about SE4 is the international community and the Internet friendships that have been made)

PS: Besides, it wouldn't really be a tournement without a running, digressing diatribe by you ( http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ).

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">First, when you enter the Beta you have to sign/agree to a standard NDA that prohibits you from disclosing info about the game to anyone outside the beta.

Second, you need to have time to actually play through the game and make notes of any 'bugs' you find. (A 'bug' can be anything from actual 'error' Messages to sound or graphic 'glitches'. It can also be gameplay issues. When something does not 'feel' right, make a post in the beta forum and let everyone know what you think.)

I'd say that if you can dedicate 1-2 hours/day playing the game and sending bug reports, you would be an average Beta tester. If you want to move up to the 'A-List' of beta testers then put in as many hours as you can.

Basically, it's a commitment to spend time helping with the great bug-hunt. One of the perks is that often you can contribute gameplay ideas directly to the man himself. The first stage of the Beta is 100% bug hunt. "Go on, I dare you to crash my game!" "What, you did? can you tell me what caused the crash? what were you doing when it happened? Did you get an error message? Strange none of the other beta testers can reproduce that error. Have you updatae all your drivers? are you sure? Oh, you have a nVidia graphics card eh? try reverting to an older driver and see if that helps,.. I'm using vxx.xx and it works fine. etc, etc, etc...

I hope this bit of babble helps give you an idea of what being on the beta means.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

Gryphin, you are starting to worry me. Finding my Posts funny is indeed a sign of impending mental collapse (granted, I may be exaggerating a tad bit again, but you get my meaning).

I shall live up to my reputation, Slynky. I cannot promise that said diatribe will be interesting, but it will be full of digressions and logical shortcuts. You can even expect me to pick a very unlikely Empire, which would normally have nothing to do with science-fiction, and whose only purpose is to add zaniness to the game. Besides... Ah, I am digressing again. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif *Goes back to lurking mode before bringing undue attention to himself, and the wrath of Tesco thread highjacking*

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

LOL, ALneyan, just remember that you'll have to really go "off the deep end" in order to have zanier names than Mark the Merciful uses http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

With the current list of players(i would be hustler.i like to have an alias) the money collected should be about 400 dollars! That will help the new PBW quite nicely.

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

And yet there's many players (good players too) who haven't signed up yet! I mean, look at all the potential targets out there! For one thing, I'm playing...the most pathetic player you will ever meet. Such an easy target means that all you people who haven't signed up yet, you just have to. Plus, look at all the wonderful prizes available to be won.

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

is there still time to sign up?
mum finaly has a CC but is prety hesitant about using it on the net, gona try and convice her to get a paypal acc. wish me luck...

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

I have a question...
Will we be required to use the same empire in the second round as in the first?
I ask this because the first rounds's going to have more people per game, right? So it would be more conducive to alliances and trading than the second... Or am I mistaken and you're planning to even things out so both rounds have about the same number of players per game?

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

Ed you can submit another empire... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Nope, Phoenix, you're in the tourney!

Yes, I know you're not the best player around but your sportsmanship is the kind that everyone should aspire to. Welcome to the tourney.

Tesco, I'll put the check in the mail...you can trust it...please add Phoenix to the list.

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

GGGRrrrrr pay pal is LAME http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

I was finally able to pay the entry fee using a borrowed credit card http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif Now I just hope the game will be finished before I go to military...

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Alneyan and I recently had a conversation in the Grudgematch game about the Euro 2004 championships. The "conversation" consisted of ship design names on my side and planet names on his.

However, those planets are about to be glassed so I'm afraid all evidence of our achievement will soon be lost. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

Ah, but you underestimate my will to make my opinions stand prominently; the names of my planets will remain even a thousand years after their destruction at your hand. Indeed, glassing a planet does not reset its name, which will be more than enough to put the inhabitants of said planets at ease.

And so, in a futur far away from our time, people will still contemplate the "No love lost between Beckham and ourselves either" planet. Seeing this, they will wonder who, or what, were this or these strange beings, and they will acknowledge our time as being the finest hour of our Empire, and... Well, perhaps not, but you get the idea.

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 

Old Snake, when do we start uploading our races and is it on PBW yet?
