I wonder, though.  Will you need to check the "show beta releases" option in Impulse?  I'm sure we'll hear more when it's released.

Ah, thanks for the replys, I thought it had been released already. 

You should be glad it isn't out yet or you would have pre-ordered for nothing.  Beta (invites) are closed when it is released.

Correct.  Make sure you have the 'show pre-release versions' box ticked as well.  See https://forums.elementalgame.com/363075

Where'd you get Oct 29? Frogboy just posted today that the beta will be out before the end of summer, which should certainly be before 10/29.

You are clearly not American Over here, we use Month/Day/Year. I prefer our method, because we normally say, for example, "October 29th, 2009," not "The 29th of October, 2009."

Anyways, we've been told we'll have the beta on or by September 21st.

what month is the 29th? as far as I know, there are only 12 months. and hopefully Beta hits before 22/09/2009 (Date in standard Day/month/year format)

Grin, you got me. not american.. but still, i just cant find a logical reason to have the day value, that changes most frequently between the month value, and the year value, since they changle less frequent, ie monthly and Yearly..

Quite a few stories from the "old" days, of lovers sending leathers and meeting up on the wrong day because of the way of writing dates.. breaking manny hearts..

Well, back on track. most hopefully on the day of release, my guess first monday that comes, (or sooner) if you have show beta versions active, it will pop up in the My Games section of Impulse.

Just pre ordered myself. Although I think it's going to be the most exciting game of the year, I can wait...

Go YYYYMMDD and be happy.

Or just be happy.

Whenever I save files I use that format. So for example 20090908ExcelDoc.xls. Makes stuff much easier to find, especially if you keep lots of revisions.

Anyway, I think we have strayed from the original topic...

I understand the argument of using DD/MM/YY (smallest to largest increments in order), I still prefer using MM/DD/YY in common usage just because it better matches how I actually speak. I say August 13th. Not the 13th of August. And so for me, MM/DD/YY is more natural because I don't have to switch the numbers around in my head. Saying one way is silly because the other way is logical is a logical fallacy: one method making sense has no bearing on whether the other method also makes sense, which it does - for different reasons... It all comes down to a matter of preference.

Now when doing anything related to program or when naming files using the date, I use YYYYMMDD - because that is simply superior to the other methods when it comes to sorting and/or finding specific dates.
