I think alpha testers should be required to spend at least 8 hours a day playing and bug hunting so that WitE can get to Beta faster. Beta testers should be required to spend 12 hours a day bug hunting and the developer should spend 18 hours a day developing whatever it is they develop. June 22 will be here before you know it and there are a legion of armchair generals who demand this game game be launched according to the expectations, reality be damned.

Seriously though, make sure it it right first and foremost and keep up the great work, Your dedication to our hobby is much appreciated.

Only 8 hours? Pfft. That would be like a vacation compared to the hours we put in now.

food, drink; you are too kind. I was thinking coffee IV, catheter bag, and an MRE (enough calories in them suckers to last a month or so)!

If not June 22, whenever....but the excitement is certainly building.

Hmmm, yes, I've been wondering about how best to break the news - she knows so very little about this 'project' or it's importance....

I have been involved with playtesting other games and understand the difference between playtesting and playing. I am familiar with the Ostfront, and might be able to catch a few things with my new eyes. (New to the game, anyway.) I'd be happy to help as a beta tester and I know about NDAs. I have time, now so if I can help, I'd be glad to. A free game, and perhaps helping speed release would be reward a-plenty.
