Status: offline 		I have something to say about testers, especially those who have worked with me in SPWAW and other games, It is a fact - the tester is every bit as important as the designer... perhaps more so. The tester does not get the glory but I promise you that without good testers, careful and thorough, your scenarios just won't have the same quality. To all you who have tested my stuff, I take my helmet off to you and offer the smartest of salutes! Thank you! Wild Bill

Status: offline 		I would like to say again thanks to the testors of my Guadalcanal Campaign (again) and to those that sent emails with suggestions. You don't know how important that are to us that design campaigns or scenarios to get your feedback -- good or bad. I think that is how we learn. Without your help I doubt none would be finished today. Like Bill said, "THANKS!" :D Bruce Semper Fi

Status: offline 		So true about testers. While the job they do is always crucial and much needed, the job the testers did during the making of the MC was just incredible. Their reports were always fair (well except for Warrior's), and they were usually not drunk while testing (except for Warrior). :D All kidding aside, without the testers the MC couldn't have been made and Steve was "King of the Testers" for sure! :eek:

Status: offline 		Don: ROTFL! What a wise ass. Wild Bill: A salute right back to you, Sir! And thanks to all for the kind words. A public "pat on the back" is always appreciated... but don't hesitate to send money if you feel so moved! :D :D

Status: offline 		I, too, would like to thank those who have tested some of my babies. Although my stable of testers is much smaller (couple friends of mine), they have been good enough to try and spot my errors in design. And there have been many.... Without them, the Rat Patrol campaign would have died in obscurity. Thanks again, guys.
