Aaron should consider inviting several linux junkies to beta, so they could do some testing under wine or cedega. I definitely would like to see se5 running on my debian.

I was over at the Strategy First website and saw no indication that SE5 is on the "announced games" list - has there been a press release?

It is a "no-brainer" that one of the key things in any beta is constant 2-way communication between the dev team and the testers to exchange ideas, file interpretation theories, save games, updates and report bugs of course. Nowadays, this is accomplished quite easily via dedicated forums (like the ones here at Shrapnel). During the SE4 Gold beta, Shrapnel did a 10/10 job in hosting chats, MP test times and keeping those lines of communication open. Has anyone had experience on Strategy First beta's? Do they have dedicated forums for beta testing? How involved in the testing are they?

Just Curious

Of course not NullAhston! We are all seasoned in the ways of bureaucracy, and have been honing our form-filling skills since the age of six! Therefore, some of the applicants (at the very least) will successfully fill in their forms. The others shall be totemised at once, thanks to the wondrous technology offered by Frobozz Electric.

And on a completely unrelated matter: I offer courses on form-filling for anyone not feeling quite up to the task. Afforable prices, and no strings attached. No FBW need apply... assuming I make my Will roll to eschew such a blatant ploy.
