Title: Bets on CB release date!
Post by: Shadowfalcon on November 16, 2004, 09:11:42 pm: I had an idea, just for giggles. I will give 500 tria to whoever can succesfully predict the day CB is pubicaly released! (Ill give it to you ingame, after i can get that much my self.)

My prdiction: December 12th, 2004. (Yeah right, probably more like 2006 the way this game has been going, eh?)

Post by: Boldstorm on November 16, 2004, 09:15:12 pm: I predict when it is ready and not a minute sooner!
Do I win?

Well, depending on how you see that sentence, you could be cheating, as predicting it on the day it\'s released isn\'t much of a challenge, but however if you meant that you predict it will be out when it\'s out, then you\'re right... But that\'s not what you wrote. :)

*Steals the idea*

I predict it\'ll be ready when it\'s ready... Do I win? :)

Post by: Shadowfalcon on November 16, 2004, 09:51:49 pm: C\'mon guys, you know what I mean. If I had to give money to everbody who said \"It\'ll be ready when the devs say it\'s ready\", I\'d go broke real quick. (oh, another twist. If I\'m right everybody else has to give ME money! No? fine.)

Edit: I just had a thought. Devs can\'t win. I think thats fair, as they would know the release date in advance.

Post by: Myrtl on November 16, 2004, 09:54:44 pm: January 5th

Most devs would prolly only know it one day or less in advance.
Title:
Post by: fken on November 16, 2004, 10:30:00 pm: some french have already given their date on the french forum of ps...

mmmm personnaly on that forum I said november the 31th but i\'ll tell november the 24 coz I saw the cvs and the news... 50 bugs to fixe and monday there was 43bugs fixed... so january... I dont think so...
Title:
Post by: Parts on November 16, 2004, 10:35:43 pm: Of course, the fixing of one critical bug by the only method possible could cause 50 new bugs which need fixing.

Don\'t count your crystals................ ;)

Post by: Jekkar on November 16, 2004, 11:45:45 pm: 17 December,i hope it will be sooner.

Post by: Icefalcon on November 17, 2004, 01:41:02 am: :D

Um, lets see. December.... 7. Yeah.

Depth, where is that old thread of yours, I want to see it when everyone predicted July. :D

Here you go: Release Pool Thread (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=9472&boardid=19)
Have to love the terrible guesses eh? ;)

I\'m going to guess for December 14th 2004
Title:
Post by: Diamondcite on November 17, 2004, 03:35:58 am: The image isn\'t clear... so here goes my different points of view
Optimists say November 20 2004
Hopefulls(me) say December 22 2004(give or take up to 3 days)
Normal people might say before new years
Realists say Mid Janurary 2005
Pesamists say \"Pah, it\'ll probably be 2006 by the time it comes out.\"
Quiters say \"I quit! They\'ll just keep ripping out the backend like they did with MB\'s engine to place in a new engine and they\'ll spend forever debugging!\"

This post is not betting.
Title:
Post by: ArcaneFalcon on November 17, 2004, 04:41:55 am: Wait, can I use a PS dev trick and give the release date about 2 days after it comes out?

\"PlaneShift News: December 10th, 2004
Oh, sorry, we\'ve been so busy working on the next release of PlaneShift that we forgot to post news! PlaneShift Crystal Blue was released 2 days ago, and is available for direct download in a sub sub forum in the forums, with no direct link whatsoever from the main site...\"

*cowers from the wrath of the devs :P

:emerald:
Title:
Post by: Efflixi Aduro on November 17, 2004, 06:03:11 am: Hmm...
January 12th 2005 Dont ask me why, just a feeling/random guess. Well, am I right? Am I right? ?(
Title:
Post by: Seytra on November 17, 2004, 06:54:26 am: 23rd of December 2004. Would make a nice christmas present. :)
Title:
Post by: Asraniel on November 17, 2004, 09:48:10 am: i say 20rd of December 2004, its more realistic... lol
Title:
Post by: John_Thazer on November 17, 2004, 10:54:25 am: I\'ll be even more realistic and say about fourth quater of 2005...:P...since that happened before it can happen again...:D

Oh fine! 25th of December...under the christmas tree...mehh
Title:
Post by: TheRedMonk on November 17, 2004, 11:40:28 am: Hopefully people won\'t play CB on christmas day...there should be a limit to all nerdiness :P
My bet it 26 th so people can play it right away without feeling sorry about how pathetic their lives are...
Title:
Post by: leji on November 17, 2004, 12:23:50 pm: Good point RedMonk :D

I bet 22th July, *Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me*

*notices a wonderful Edit button that will enable him to modify the date on his post when the release will be anounced* :D
Title:
Post by: fken on November 17, 2004, 12:45:23 pm: in fact if its the december 26th it will be because they would be waiting for Cristmas and late at night : \" oh gosh there is a big bug that we havent seen before... quick quick. Going and fixing it, we must work...\"

And they\'ll miss their release date effects...

No really ! Dev please dont wait anymore ! Look if you spend christmas developping CB and fixing bugs... You\'ll miss Cristmas !!! So release CB before...
/me whistle...
Title:
Post by: mortisangelus on November 17, 2004, 04:46:09 pm: the date the devs want to release CB.....

Post by: Annah on November 21, 2004, 11:59:57 am: Why making bets when CB will be out? Try doing some other things, this way you\'ll forget for a while about CB, and when it will appear it will seem that time passed very fast ^^

I think it is just as important for the computers to moderate faster as much as it is for the creators too. So, we could say during the nuclear war USA sends a huge computer virus into the computers in North Korea, Russia, and China, to screw up their computer launching nucs. Then the afterblast of that effect will mutate the computers to run over 10000 RAM and dowload a 500 Gigabyte system with no lag on 256-bit :P
