Minimum number of posts for closed beta access? - Page 10

o_frenchtoast · 07-30-2006, 11:21 PM

Geez Darknight, follow along. The Dev team has decided to pick the top 10 based on post counts, because those are the ones clearly most devoted to the game.

Get spammin!

o_saintrancid-tpf- · 07-31-2006, 12:30 AM

my post count r0x0rz

o_nezumi · 07-31-2006, 09:47 AM

Well it's 2:42am of the 31st, so the beta starts in one day (First week of August MEANS the 1st of August damnit.), so y'all have got one day left to spam the forums to get into the beta.

Additional: Woot! I passed sobe! Take that!

o_frenchtoast · 07-31-2006, 11:14 AM

Because we've all noticed that Sobe is very proud of his post count and wishes to show it to everyone.

Circuitous · 08-01-2006, 01:13 AM

If Mirv made another thread that lowered your postcount with each reply, Sobe'd spam it to hell.

o_tennovan · 08-01-2006, 05:37 AM

*sigh* Ok I lied, I'm not gonna keep posting it until people start reading it. Someone is always gonna come along and give their opinion without reading the 2000 posts that came before it. People are so lazy!

But on a more serious note, high post counts are driving dedicated posters away. I say remove post counts and add forum ranks. At least that way, if you're between 1000 and 30,000, no one would know. When you get to Circ's level, you become a forum god... or something.

I'm bored.

Circuitous · 08-01-2006, 05:43 AM

So, wait, does that make me a forum god? Or just the marker for one?

No, it makes you a forum Goddess.

Circuitous · 08-01-2006, 05:46 AM

That works.

Well since we still have post counts, you're just "that guy that will definitely reply". Doesn't sound as cool as forum god/goddess.

Look on the bright side, you have more than 60 posts (barely) so you'll MOST DEFINITELY get into the beta. Discuss.

o_nezumi · 08-01-2006, 10:59 AM

I do like forums with ranks. Then anyone who pisses off a dev/mod can get their own custom title.

I supppose people who do something good can get a rank too, but that's not as fun.

o_ginger lord · 08-01-2006, 11:56 AM

Ranks are funny, the joys of resetting peoples ranks and postcount to stupid levels are never ending.

Totally not agree with that. This is not because you post alot that you are essentlially competent. Also having alot of post need free time and this is what probably alot of us doesn't have.

o_ekim · 08-01-2006, 01:43 PM

To be fair, if you don't have free time you probably aren't going to be able to beta-test...

o_lord asriel · 08-01-2006, 04:15 PM

So the beta testing isn't open....I can stop for worrying my ebay-bought half life 2-copy dont arrive on time.....

Also, I disagree on the devs' "We choose beta testers according to post count" tactic".

That was a joke guys. HAAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Bad one, but I liked it. DOn't eat me please!

Mulchman MM · 08-01-2006, 04:17 PM

The joy of playing mulch_trench in ff is OH WAIT

Come on ginger lord!

o_ginger lord · 08-01-2006, 05:59 PM

Did you not read my post in the MT thread? Or are you just in denial?

That's probably why it was a joke. Buy you know, only probably.

o_lothar · 08-01-2006, 10:16 PM
