Ok kiddies, let's start the prelim ground work for the 3000A.D. Invasion! I've got a couple or 4 Insurgents dropping by the Den around the 10th of June. Don't know if I could control them if they knew just how far you were, or weren't from the Den in some cases.

Guest Posted May 20, 2000 Report Share Posted May 20, 2000 Orlando is where I live ol' Rat!Ya know, if we all gather some money, we can each send the SC a pizza a day, that way he can code more per day... we would be eliminating his need to stand up, cook, wash dishes, etc... definite increase in performance per day! And if we also catherize him he would be even more time efficient!! What say you SC? A little yellow bag hanging by the monitor, pizza boxes all over the floor... yeah!! BC:M will be finished in no time! *grin*(is it noticable I just got my hands on a really sick book? whooo eeee!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang, SC imposing this moritorium sure throws a wrench into the effort though! Oh well, You are hereby granted Amnesty whilst within the confines of Rattler's Den. That should keep Antilles, Stickman, and Chavik off your six. I'm not promising anything from myself! Now back on subject! GHQ sure does look good SC.

Supreme Cmdr Posted May 20, 2000 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2000 *chuckle*, you guys are truly insane. heh, you're excited now? Just wait until I get it out of internal dev Beta and into the hands of the external testers...there'll be chaos on this board, to say the least.Got to get all those NDAs sorted out (mental note to self: call Eric) before I can even send the CD-ROMs out, cuz you can't download the game anyway.

Parias Posted May 20, 2000 Report Share Posted May 20, 2000 NDA=Non-Disclosure Agreement. Basically gives Derek Smart legal persmission to go down there and beat you over the head with a large blunt object if you give out internal info on this game nobody else is supposed to know Well, I'm just exaggerating.. you'd just be punted off the beta team... although there might be some other horrible things he can do too, I've never really worked too much with an NDA before, save the time I tested Everquest.------------------ Cmdr.

Rico Jansen Posted May 20, 2000 Report Share Posted May 20, 2000 I had a feeling it was a Non-Disclosure-something. Makes every bit of sense. The man has to make a living and competition is high.

Guest Posted May 21, 2000 Report Share Posted May 21, 2000 See? I told you guys the game was finished!, they just had to keep it and play for a while so they could stand a chance against us in MP! Where do I sign?

Supreme Cmdr Posted May 21, 2000 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2000 ROTFLMAO!!! Tac, are you off your meds again?Actually the NDA (which Tac and his cronies in the official Beta team, as well as Parias, SpacePhish, Steve Schacter and a few others I will invite, have to sign) has to be signed and returned before I send the CD-ROM's (which are serialized) out. So, if it leaks, I know who leaked it. The first external Beta version is on CD-ROM and all future updates can be download cuz they are smaller. I was going to do an open beta, but will all the copy cats out there* these days, I ain't taking any chances.*Get a load of this: http://pc.ign.com/news/19800.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted May 21, 2000 Report Share Posted May 21, 2000 Mail that darned NDA ASAP Boss! I'll gladly sign it in blood if that's what you want! As to that Lecherous Chris Roberts, You know my feelings about HIM and his kind! You have my permission to release my mini-rant to these guys if you care to. I just can't do it due to sanctity of address sent to. Man, don't even get me started again on this one!Tac, break out that Flak Jacket and those goggles!

Guest Ron Wallin Posted May 21, 2000 Report Share Posted May 21, 2000 hehe, parias, that means no HARDNEWS coverage... gonna have to choose which is more important Anyway, send me that darn NDA. Heck, i've got a digital sig somewhere around here that's legal and binding.As for Chris, I read a bit of his interview. This caught me as something, well, stupid: quote:The remnants of humanity are scattered and flee to the other side of the galaxy. They create this new alliance; a new empire of man that is composed of four ruling houses -- House Bretonia, House Rheinland, House Kusari and House Liberty...It sounds really familiar...

Supreme Cmdr Posted May 21, 2000 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2000 hehe, Rippen I have you on my invite list. Speaking of which, I'll publish the list of new invites next week when I get the chance.So far, apart from the current external testers, I have an invite list consisting of those I deem trustworthy of the honor. Beyond that, I'm going to pick about 5 more names from a ballot of other regulars (who are not on my invite list)....We need the fodder.

Parias Posted May 21, 2000 Report Share Posted May 21, 2000 Don't worry Ron, I wasn't about to explain to someone what an NDA was and then promptly go and break one My skull isn't ready for gross deformations yet!
