I think I'll just wait....

Post by tsimmonds »

....until I see what shakes out of the box, try it out and see how it plays, before I even think about complaining about any of the features of WitP. Awful lot of whining going on lately; me, I'll be damn glad to finally be getting my hands on this thing after having waited for it for more than 20 years....and I notice the guys testing it seem to be having a blast.

Oh, but I think it's fun throwing out data that you know isn't going to be implemented. Every time I send something out on the forum, I can just picture faces turning purple and hands clutching at their chests! Look out! I think I'm having the BIG ONE![:D]

Really? I thought that was why you did PBEM....[:'(]Course, that isn't very efficient, you can only heart-attack us one at a time that way.

Well that is part of it. I imagine Brady gets a lot of satisfaction posting his views on the forum. He's probably caused more heart attacks than anyone else. Is there an award or something that we can give him?[:D]

It's just that many people take this too seriously. It like we sc~&%#@ their mothers or something along that line. Eh, I've never even been to Canada, so it wasn't me.[;)]

Guys, this is truely "our" game. You would be surprised at the amount of input that has gone into the game as a direct response to good ideas and data from the forum.
Sure there may be a few items that some people would have liked to see, but as a tester let me tell you that the game is mind blowing in it's features, size and scope.

Raver, it's posts like your last one that make me hate you and every single other member of the Beta team.... [:@][:@]

I kid, I kid... I've just been waiting for this game since Pacwar, so reading how much fun you're all having makes me get a little squirrelly now and again.

Thanks for all the info you guys post here - it really does make the waiting a little easier.

We all know this going to be the GREATEST game to date. Thanks to Matrix and all you playtesters for your time and commitment. Some of you will probably have to be commited when this all said and done! [;)]

Oh I'll be buying the game. It'll be worth 80 bucks just to have it to fool around with.
But I still think it's worth pushing for as much historical accuracy and realistic limits
on play as it's possible to get. I've been waiting years to play a simulation of the 'War
in the Pacific' and I don't want another piece of garbage like PACIFIC WAR. (lots of
fun as a game, but totally worthless as a simulation).

And as usual, only the testers will show up in the credits...[:@][;)] Maybe we should have copyrighted the ideas in order to reap royalties... [:D]

LOL. One would have to be ABLE to email to do this. I've checked for a virus so many times I've lost count. Just my darn Outlook and Norton practicing overly safe intercourse I suspect.
