I GOT IT!!!!!
 
Okay here's a thread to see who gets their game first. No prize except getting to brag to your friends that you are playing it and THEY'RE NOT http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

Seriously folks should start getting their copies today, even though we are STILL shipping pre-orders.

Let us know what you think when you get it. I would especially like to get any feedback on the manual and mousepad for those that got it.

Richard March 5th, 2002 06:50 PM

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 
Okay I have seen several arrive via UPS, I don't have access to the other tracking systems.

The first copy I saw landed in Washington, DC. The first Board Register person I saw get one was in Virginia, login on board jnoory (even though he has never posted).

So who will be the first board regular to get it. Any folks in VA or NC? And post those tracking numbers for proof http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

Oooo, no fair! I live in Ohio. UPS says mine is on a truck in Lexington KY. If I go get it myself today will I win? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 
Heh.

Actually I am in the same boat, I haven't even gotten my copies yet.

BTW there are a LOT of Ohio folks on this board, we should have a SE:IV con http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

Aaaarggghhh,

I ordered really late. I knew I was going to order it the minute I heard about it, so why didn't I? Why why why???? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

I am going to kick myself in the head for a while now, enjoy your game Jerks!

It said mine shipped but when I tried to use the Tracking Number on the FedEx website, it informed me it was an invalid Tracking Number. Should I be concerned?

Richard March 5th, 2002 08:44 PM

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 
No it's a UPS tracking number, check the other threads...

geoschmo March 5th, 2002 09:19 PM

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 
If you have one that Fedex says is invalid, copy paste it HERE. This is the UPS tracking page.

Richard March 5th, 2002 09:20 PM

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 
And you can also look up just the order number on the refernece number lookup tool they have, in case you don't want to have to remember the seperate tracking number.

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 
Well thank you sir for rubbing the rubbish of me not being able to order it for another three weeks ON MY FACE.

... Damn credit card...

Well at least when I order it three weeks later, there won't be much holdup much as right now.

Mine shipped at 03/04/2002 18:30:55, but I won't get it until Mar 11, 2002. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif Stupid UPS ground shipping. Oh well.

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 
Aargh.

My copy is being sent by USPS (United States Postal Service), why is that? Is it because I'm in Canada?

Anyways, Last time it took 7 days and that would make it due next Tuesday...right at the beginning of all my mid-terms! And then exams! Aargh! When will I be able to play!

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 
I'm another Virginia order, and it arrived today!!!! (Oak Hill, VA - formerly Herndon, VA; not far from Leesburg or Alexandria or DC...)

Now I just need to install & play. Of course, since I've been working 12-hour days 6 or 7 days a week the Last couple weeks, and will probably continue that crazy schedule for another month, I may not get much playing in for a while... nor have I been posting...

The employees of shrapnel games deserve our thanks, I'm sure that they have been working their ***'s off the past few days. I ordered another game Monday night, and it was shipped by Tuesday afternoon.
GREAT JOB!! How many employees does shrapnel have? Let me be the first to thank them all personally. I wish that half of my depatmental employees were this dedicated

Being a "furiner" they will probably ship mine by camel caravan via Kabul. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif About the best I've ever managed is a two week turn around; I'll be happy to get it this month. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The good news: My copy of Gold arrived here in Pittsburgh today, and my mod was included on the CD. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The bad news: I can't play until I replace my malfunctioning video card, which has locked my monitor in 640x480, 256 color mode. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
At least I can read the new manual in the meantime.

Stupid UPS. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif My copy arrived at La-Grande Vista, CA, at 4:36 A.M. on March 5. It is scheduled for delivery at my house on the 11th. I have no clue as to where La-Grande Vista is (other than in my state), but it can't take them 6 days to drive it to me. Grrr...

Mine left the Louisiana distribution center (or whatever it was called) and should be on it's way to Houston now.

Supposedly the ETA is Thursday, but who knows, it might be here today. (Actually I think it's going to be processed, sent to a local delivery center and then get to my address.)

Whee. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

SEIV Con:
I really belive the idea of a con has a lot of merrit.
My Sweetheart does not play but If a Star Empires I Con was held, she would want it in a place like Tucson, AZ.
Maybe the first one should be in MM's headquaters city.
Who knows? It works for me.

I ordered mine on Dec. 19, but my parents were too cheap to go with any of the more expensive shipping option.

Oh, and yeah! Phoenix-D isn't going to blow me up! Woohoo! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Can I borrow your copy then until mine arrives?
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

But may I ask, when did you order yours? I might get an idea about when mine will arrive here in the USA if I know, since I am having troubles logging into my SG account.
