[quote who="Lord Reliant" reply="13" id="1965195"] Did you just pre-order today? And did you order it via Impulse or the web?[/quote] Yesterday and via the pre-order button in the menu at the top of this page. Sammual

Yep, my credit card was charged today. I am 99.99% sure that it was a mistake on SDs part but I would be very happy to pay it to get into a pre-beta test. [e digicons]|-)[/e] Sammual

Did anyone else have thier credit cards charged today for the Pre-order of Elemental? Sammual

[quote who="Ke5trel" reply="20" id="1964627"] That's sort of why I don't like the "All hail the frog!" movement. Like I said, I have the utmost respect for Brad and what he does and is known for, and especially his no-BS attitude, but it feels wrong that people who aren't always in that much public light but do work no less important get little similar recognition. Whaaat!?!?! The Unbeliever must be purged!!! Purge the Unbeliever!!! He wants to t

All hail the frog! [e digicons]:frogboy:[/e] Brethren, As thoust has read the avatar of the all mighty frog has spoken. [quote who="Frogboy" reply="4" id="1964504"]In terms of the beta, all users who pre-order have access to the beta program. But we are looking to have a private Beta 0 or pre-beta or late alpha or something available before the beta program begins that will largely go to users with high karma / have GalCiv II / Sins

They should inspire you to go out and do it. Sammual That is what i meant. The word "hero" just implies what he has done is quite "inhuman", therefore not accomplishable for yourself as a human. I just think it is a bit exaggerated, i appreciate Brads work but hey he didnt save the

[quote who="Haree78" reply="16" id="1964156"] The Celebrity is the one who receives all the positives of the team effort, the rest of the team's effort is marganalized in the eyes of the majority as they only see the Frogboy posts and believe all that is good springs from this one guy. It's nice to see people being positive on forums, a medium which is used 99% of the time to be negative about something, but really creating a hero out of 1 person for the things Stardock have d

[quote who="Sole Soul" reply="1" id="1963223"] Everything I have ever read about him has showed him in a good light. Then you need to read more. I'm kidding...mostly. But as good as Brad is at what he does, he's no god. (Praying to him won't help in non-SD matters.) Note: I'm not disagreeing. Just throwing a dash of reality in.

All hail the frog! [e digicons]:frogboy:[/e] Hey all, As I was writing my entry to Edge Mags nominate your game industry hero thing I realized just how much I do look up to Brad. Everything I have ever read about him has showed him in a good light. He is a leader and a guy that doesn't seem to mind letting people know whats on his mind. That said, here is what I wrote to Edge; My nomination would be

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="22" id="1961921"]All pre-orders will get access during the beta phase. But we are likely to have some qualifiers for beta 1 which we're still trying to decide. [/quote] Please let us know ASAP what the qualifiers will be so we can try to make sure we meet them. Sammual

[quote who="Nathaniel Richter" reply="7" id="1943515"] Quoting Lord Reliant, reply 6 How do you search by post author? And can you specify between a reply and a post? Great job! Well, the engine displays posts by the searched user first then it will display times when the users name is used in the post as well. I have tweeked the engine but it, unfortunatly, wont find every single reply by a user. Also, the SD foru

I can help. I have been kicking around the idea of starting one myself. I am a web application developer by trade (SQL and CF). ElementalFanatic(s).org or something like that would be nice. Sammual Frogboyfanclub.org ElementalNotMoMFans.org

[quote who="keithLamothe" reply="2" id="1937686"] The question is, will it work for SD? Indeed. We only know what they tell us, and they might be doing something innovative that renders our ideas non-applicable or redundant. So I'm thinking the best we can do is hash out the ideas, come to a consensus, and post a direct proposal to SD for them to give feedback upon whenever they feel like gracing us with their presence It appears that those

[quote who="keithLamothe" reply="21" id="1937638"] Move away from the rigid "build order" approach to techs where you figure out the optimal path through the tech tree to optimize for a certain strategy.

I can happily agree to the following; Goals: - make it fun for those who want blind research - make it fun for those who want to pick specific techs to research - don't place undue or unnecessary burden on development/testing/balancing resources Proposed solution Core: - when choosing what to research, the player can choose between three methods: -- Pick a specific tech like normal (and yes they can see the whole tree); this will be, m

I like to Micro my towns until the game enters the mop of phase. At that point I would like to use some sort of governor. A script controled governor AI that we can edit would be best. Sammual
