Title: FSCZ needs 2-3 alpha testers
Post by: Hippo on August 18, 2004, 02:07:28 pm

Thats right, we've already got 2... or 3... but with a few more, there would be some more testing.

head here (http://www.sectorgame.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=27) to enquire.

You should have a broadband connection, and be able to play online testing matches against other testers.

Enquire in the FSCZ forum on sectorgame.

Oh come now people. Almost 30 views, and all we've gotten is a troll to come over and waste our time?


Look at it this way: If the FSCZ doesn't get testers NOW, it may never get off the ground at all.

Oh for pete's sake people... You wonder why hosted projects die so often? Its because they can't get any help. We have 1 tester. 1. How are we supposed to work on a MULTIPLAYER game, with1 person?

Honestly, I'm getting disgusted with people showing up out of the blue, saying how great FS2 is, and going off to start their own campaign. They won't make it, and they'll die too. And then a hosted project will die, because they can't get the needed help. Do the math. 1 in HUNDREDS of campaigns started get finished. It makes me sick.

If you have a problem with what i said, take it up with me, and not the FSCZ.

If you absolutely need the help and it's not something that'll require a lot of time, then add me to your list.  But I warn you now, I'm not always able to play.

as I told Raa on ICQ, we're not so desprate for testers as to drag people from other stuff... We can make due with what we have, but we won't be ready for a final version for a LONG time... a lot of people have expressed interest in playing. thats great, but where are they now? :rolleyes:

I might be able, provided we can find a compromise for GMT+1 (just let's play into late morning/early afternoon)

Ok, head over to Sectorgame, where you'll find the FSCZ forum... Make yourself comfortable, and I'll get you access to the internal.

Match times will be arranged with the people involved with it, so i'm sure you can work something out, nomatter what time zone...

Might be worth trying some of the multiplayer forums rather than HLP.

you mean they exist? I'll do some searches, but any help would be appreciated...



I also apologise if I seemed to snap at anyone in particular... That wasn't a personal flame, just me stating my opinion, and I guess i put a lot more into it than i had planned on. I still support my points, but it was a statement in general, not a vandetta...

"Okay, we all agree that while the current situation is not totally ironic, the fact that we now have to work together is odd in an unexpected way that defies our normal circumstances."

Let me get this on the news for you, Hippo. :)

RvB season 2 finale :p

Thanks Steak :p

"'Hey, that guy's really fast!'
'Thanks! I ran track in high school!'
'Track sucks!'
You suck!'

'And now, I make my escape, never to be seen again! Unless I want to be seen... In which case, if I see you, before you see me... Lookout!'"

"'Drop your weapon Dirtbag!'
'Beep-Beep, Eeeeep. *smack*'
'Aw come on!'"

Ok, I'm done...

I wasn't going to say it cause it would result in the topic being derailed by RvB quotes but seeing as you've already done that..... :D
