Steady lads......
Yes they went quantity over quality, but, infairness it wouldnt have been impossible for them to do anything else. Those who are named have certainly contruted a lot (besides myself, but I'm in as a painter not a development/playtester etc.)and whilst there will be those who have probably been critical to the games final form in their few suggestions, but not posted that often, it wouldnt be possible (or right IMHO) for Fanatic to try and decide who's comments were most worthy of specific mention._________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

Did they?
Does anyone actually remember (or have an email from) Jervis saying that he picked the top seven (or however many it was) based on the number of posts?
My impression was that the people picked were the people he though contrinuted the most.
I may be wrong but that was certainly the assumption I got.

It was based on contribution and was intended to be a nod of thanks to acknowledge that the feedback from the playtesters was invaluable in helping us get the game right. I'm sure Jervis would have loved to name more of you, it was just the physical limitations and practicality of getting that many onto the credits page.
Everybody who provided feedback should give themselves a pat on the back as it definately helped iron out the rules and army lists, which to all intents and purposes were 'rough cuts' when we had finished pontificating about them and let you guys loose to test them out in anger.
If you think your feedback got heated, you should have seen the arguments we had during design, especially artillery, War Engines and the Overwatch action 
Good job all. Everybody deserved a mention, but those that were particularly get my thanks for their input.
Regards
Carl

| Quote (TuffSkull @ 16 2004 Jan.,11:35) | Ahhhhh... That makes sense. & the others I know who arent as visably active were all part of "The Titans".
Edit:Actually no, that doesnt make sense - What Email???
I should probably know this, ?but which name would that make you then, because none of them ring any bells as tieing in? |
Hmm, my mistake. I checked the email and you weren't one of the people it was sent to. I got an email from Jervis which was CC'ed to 6 other people, asking if I minded having my name put in the credits in the rulebook.
When I got the email, I browsed through the member list on the EA forum checking ppls email addresses, and matching them to the list of ppl the email was CC'ed to. 6 of them were the 6 highest post counts, the 7th one I couldn't find, I had assumed it was yours, but I just checked and its not.
My name is Aston Olsen.

TuffSkull, pics look good. I can identify two of the armies you weren't sure of.
The Sons of Medusa Space Marine army is indeed Scott Baird's and the Imperial Guard army belongs to Chris Taylor. They are both Regular opponents of mine at WW.

Since the topic of playtesting came up, can one of you guys with a book tell me if I made it in there?
I replied to JJs email but he sent it to an account I don't check very often and it was near the deadline for changes. I don't remember if he said one way or another whether I would make it in.

I think you should be disqualified from the credits page for your disturbing habit of never posting URLs to the Forum.
Truly shocking behaviour.

Welcome aboard Uncle Thor. Nice to see some faces posting here as well as the playtest board.
Neal: Yup, you are credited - Fame at last for all of us!

I REALLY dont think you want to start that up here...again. You WILL get several people flashed up in a BIG way, general happiness on this forum aside. Look through the archives first if you feel inclined.
In the end I am didnt make the "Magnificent Seven" but was in the top 10 (well, until I went to Sea for two months that is) so I was happy to have been involved in the process. Dissappointing too that it all got reset in the switch to the new forums. Oh well
It was a good experiment, but needs to be tightened up a bit to ensure valid arguments are carried, and that some behind the scenes manouevring is abolished. A lot of people (some here) went away thinking that their opinions didnt count or were ignorned for reasons various.
And in the end I cant buy it in my country anyway!

Don't have the slightest idea what the heck you're talking about.
And, to be blunt, if buddy doesn't want a response he should keep the cheap shots to himself.
I didn't see one of the amusing smilies this board features attached to his post so I have to assume he's taking the piss out of the folks in the credits...making him fair game in my books.
If thats an issue then address the source of the problem first and get the rest of us sh*t disturbers afterwards.

Oh good God! ?
OK. While I cannot pretend to speak for anyone involved...
I feel that Jimbo's comment was fair, but perhaps put badly. Yes, 'quantity did win out over quality'. That is the way it worked and in the end it is up to Jervis who gets credited. He could not (and should not) have listed every name. Obviously, by some strange over-sight he missed me out, but I am sure that this will be rectified in the second edition (how is that for optimism?). ?
I cant actually think of any other way of giving credits that would have been 'fairer' (by that I mean not relying on his own personal judgement).
I can understand that there are people (probably quite a few) who feel that it should not be based on weight of posts, but I dont take any non-inclusion as any snub or disregard of the value of a single post.
These boards should run parallel to the Vault (I think of the two as Ying and Yang), and on occassion provide a safe haven for those who feel disillussioned in some way with the Vault. It happens (all the people, all the time kind of thing), and I am sure that no-one thinks that Jervis believes that 'ten empty posts are counted more than a single informative one'.
I think what Tas means is that this kind of discussion has come up in one form or another here before. There is a feeling that at times it is the loudest voice that is listened to in exclusion of other comments and that sometimes it feels that the post count a member has is regarded as much as the comment that is made. [Disclaimer: These views are not necessarily represent by the individual making this post, or the boards in general!]
Now, can we drop this and all play nice? Thanks.

*voice of the universal voiceover man*
And so, once more a heroic leader steps bravely forward into the breach, with nothing more than a keyboard between him and the onslaught of the webgoing public.
Will his single handed human wall be enough to prevent the forum from cumbling?
Will EpiComms decay into biccering ruin?
Can anyone now post a serious or indeed heated reply after this drivelling post?
Heres hoping not, but only time shall tell.....
*End voiceover*
It seems I need caffeine....
