People added to the alpha so far.

[x4000]

Hey folks, madcow pointed out that it would be a good idea to have a central list of players in the alpha so that people can check it and see if they missed the invite, etc.  We're adding people periodically, so I will continue to update this.  At the time of this writing I am still considering us to be in Round 0, so for anyone who had a request of a later round, that's a big factor in why you were not yet picked.  So here's the list of folks so far:

Round 0 has been far longer than I expected it to be.

It sounds like that will be good for the game overall, which is great. Just wish I hadn't been quite so picky about round 2.

Seconded. But that's what you get if you want to do guys a favor by picking a later round, I guess ...

Haha yeah, round 2 sounded a lot closer when we picked those.

[x4000]

Yeaaah.... you're telling me, ya know?

I appreciate you guys hanging out for the later rounds.  Ultimately you'll likely have more fun anyway, in some senses.  I expect to be to the end of Round 1 at this week, and the end of Round 2 next week, just for reference.

I'm dying over here. Every day I'm not in the alpha is another day I die a little inside

I'm dying over here. Every day I'm not in the alpha is another day I die a little inside 

I have marked you down now as being super interested in a very soon round.  If anyone else just has ants in their pants, feel free to also let me know.

Right now I am mostly pulling a mix of people I know, and people I don't know, and pulling from all parts of when people signed up.  So it's not first-come-first-serve, it's kind of scattershot all over.  And then of course I'm not inviting in the people who specifically asked for later rounds just yet.

Yay! Thanks Chris.

As long as this does not mean I will only have a single day to give feedback I am fine with this .
I admit to be more than a bit anxious to finally get my hands on the game to be honest .

So, if you have an interest in having me wait around until later, please do.
If not, please consider releasing me from my patience loop .

I primarily try to be most the most use to you here, though, this time around (as opposed to my usual interest to get my hands on anything you guys put out as soon as possible).

I am just not used to sitting on hands for such a long time during your alphas, you know .

Ah, well....

*Patience*

You're exceedingly useful as a tester, so basically at this point I'm ready for you whenever.  The tutorials for combat -- well, not tutorials, but self-explanatory-ness -- is getting there.  The solar map stuff is not.  If you want to wait until the solar map stuff is in better shape, that might be the most pleasant, but it's up to you.

Ants in pants over here. I didn't expect later rounds to be so... late.

Noted!  And... you and me both, on that.

Thanks a lot! It is much appreciated .

Pleasant for you or for me ?
If it is the former, I am happy to wait until the tutorials are in place.
If it is the latter, sign me up for the next bunch - I am happy to try my luck without them !

Depending on when you launch the next bunch it might take me a few days until I can spend some serious time with the game, though. Just so you know ...

[x4000]

Pleasant for you.

I will thus add you to the next batch, and the timing is understood.  Thanks!

[topper]

Not "ants in the pants" really, but if I am going to have any useful time for testing before release, it is probably this coming weekend.

I would humbly request to be added in some time before then if you are still adding testers. (I think I requested round 2-3).
