Next week would be nice, but with the holiday I kind of doubt it. So I'd guess sometime the week after. Wouldn't mind being wrong on this one though (wrong with an earlier release, not a later )

I'm guessing later today.

Of course I'm in Australia so later today could well mean the 25th or the 26th, depending on how many kangaroos I'm riding.

I just hope I'm in it... knowing it's going on without me will drive me... slowly... insane...

If you guess it right, you deserve 2 Karma.

Heh, you'll bring up the game on the alpha screen and the Kingdom calendar when you found your first city will say:

smarlsday the eleventy-blueth of Grenmach in the year 3206
time: 320:22

That's be pretty damn funny.

BoogieBac didn't seem very optimistic on Tuesday about it being today.. he said it wasn't looking too good because they still had a lot of little things to polish.

When are they going to say who was IN the alpha? I'm getting tired of making all those insightful posts in the ideas section...

I doubt they'll post a list at all. When it comes out, if you get charged and suddenly see it in Impulse, you were chosen/won the lottery.

Either that or the selected people will get an email. I doubt they'd post a list on the forums, though.

I thought they would do it by PM. It's private, but based on the forums, which is where the evaluation takes place. Plus, some people don't put their real e-mail addresses in out of paranoia.

Well, everyone needs a valid email for SD, since that's where purchase information and serials and such get sent.

They could send a PM to the chosen 24, but they'd only have to do that if they can't figure out what the persons Impulse account is in order to activate the registration. If they can find you that way, you'll get an email from them when the charge goes through and the game becomes active for you anyway.

At the very least I would expect either an email or a PM (or both).

It would be weird if it just showed up on Impulse and there was no other notification.

As I said, if you get in, your pre-order gets charged. Stardock automatically sends an email to your Impulse account when that happens. The email gets sent before the game is registered (though if the Impulse tray app shows a notice for a new game appearing, it's possible you could see that before you checked your email).

I went through this with the Entrenchment beta. You'll get an email, no worries.

Just kidding...

This might have cost me my chance to get into the alpha, but I just couldn't resist...

For the record, just mentioning that there is a very high probability of Stardock personnel LTAO about our "desperate" speculation about the alpha...

First day of july at 18 (6pm) GMT.

Seriously. You need your ass for lots of important things.

On the other hand, laughing it off does open up alternative responses to being ordered to "get your ass in/over here."

well, provided the other parts of the body are still there, you might be able to get by.  Put an extra pillow anywhere you might plan to sit, and you may need to wear some sort of protection in your pants to prevent matter that might escape your colon from damaging your pants.  (no ass = no sphincter).
Other than that, I can't think of much that it really does.

Well, if you want to get technical about it, the actual "bulging" is caused by the muscles that allow you to WALK, so......

Boooo! I missed! I knew I should had spent more skill points in Magic Skill. And that unless Miracle Spell it will be a looong wait. Where is my Summon Alpha spell when I need it????

Ok, let's be optimistic and say... july... 13th... 18(6pm) GMT. There, Those who don't try, cannot lose.

Hey ...  no second guessing...  otherwise one individual can always say tomorrow  8am... over and over and over.   Even worse multiple individuals can make repeated guessing several times a day... if they have the time.

You could. But then we'd spit at you.

It's Wintersong's thread. I say he can do what the bloody hell he wants.
