    Arrow Poll:What kind of EB open beta's player will you be?

    Since it's very calm on these boards at this moment I have decided to post this little poll for all the fans here...
    So basically when the OB will be released how will you react ?

    (1) The newbie :"I have only a demo of BI, can I play EB ?", "what do you exactly mean by download ?"

    (2) The bitching guy:"Skins are crappy", "Germanic names are just gibberish"

    (3) The pwned fan : "Why do I lose each campaign I try before playing 10 turns", "I just front-charged a phalanx with my cavalry and all my cavalry was killed, isn't that a bug ?"

    (4) The scholar: "No time to play a campaign or even a custom battle I prefer to read all the infos provided..."

    (5) The fan who has waited too much :Unfortunately his heart was unable to resist the shock of the beta...

    (6) The hardcore fan :"An open beta, Gah !, I won't play until the full version"

    (7) The guy who don't know what Beta means : "This mod sucks I get CTD all the time "

    Apparently I voted wrong. I thought "hardcore fan" meant that I am with EB all the way, no matter what. The OB will be incredible, I guarantee you.

    Play it, time permitting, and compliment the team on the good aspects and point out problems. It's what the OB's for.

    Scholar probably, but if things continue as they do now I won't have time to play anyway and have to wait until the full version.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I also voted wrong and for the same reason. Maybe I should have read the little descriptions first.

    The one who smashes his own head at the desk repeatedly, when seeing a few trolls complain about "historical errors" they have found in EB, which their sources on http://home.geocities.com/maximus/35...n-weapons.html or similar sites say are wrong.

    (Those fans who find an historical error in EB and backs up his claims with Strabo, though will be heard and should it prove to be right, the error would be changed)

    i find trolls quity amusing actually.....
    about 80% of all fans all know EB is right...and 19% doesn't care who's right, and the final 1% are the trolls themselves....

    conclusion: trolls are bitching, but aren't actually convincing anybody...so: trolls are funny.





    cute might not be the word

    I think you should add a new option, different from 'the bitching guy:'

    The guy who downloads the mod after we state explicitely that you should only download it if you are willing to help us find and fix CTD bugs that we know exist, and do it without wondering why we released it with those bugs (he would have to ignore that we're asking for him to help us find them by downloading the mod).

    I didn't complete the thought - that guy then goes on to complain about a CTD.

    Is it possible to pick ALL the options? They almost look life phases when trying the OB.

    First, you are the guy who waited too long. Then you are the newbie. etc ...

    Well, firstly, when i come to the site and see the "OB has been released" thread, i may possible wet myself... Then, after pinching myself to make sure it isn't a dream, (and yes, i've dreampt that i came to the website and saw the thread we're all waiting for) i will download, and begin the painless (i predict) 2-3 hour wait during which time i will probably go to sleep or something...
