Yes, well, I have to decide on things to buy here fairly soon...

If it doesn't hurry up, the $60 (actually $75) will go towards a six-month PS2 membership as opposed to this. :P
Reason as my minor ego, and opposite my desire to be a murderer.
A coagulated, gloomy thinking in the intelligence, as my major ego.
An antinomian theorem of behaviorism, in all of my thinkings.
It's what we call "The Inversion Impulse."

No, the llamas inside the game are a myth.

It launches November 20th, so if there's no Vanguard Initiative by that day, the membership trumps it.

Nope, that's a doctored image. Kiwi had gotten into the alleged "beta" and had played it for quite a few hours. Upon closer inspection, Kiwi had actually been playing Rome: Total War for the past 4 hours.

The event was also how Kiwi learned that he, somehow, had Rome: Total War installed on his computer.

Maybe down where you are, they've switched titles. Up here, they haven't. :)

Good game.

I liked Medieval 2 a bit more though.

Well, something might've held up the works. Maybe things changed at the last minute.

At any rate, all it means is that you have to wait a bit to hand Adhesive/Meteor your money. Have we really missed much of anything except an announcement_ I don't think anyone here has lost anything except a bit of patience.

I think the reason so many of us are impatient is that they announced it pretty much alongside CBE2, and so most of us figured we'd get news about what it was during CBE2.

Here we are, in the last day of play (last 12 hours of it, actually!) and still nothing. Understandably, some folks are a little frustrated by that. :P

Hey, guys!

Thank you for your excitement about the Vanguard Initiative! We're so happy that you want to give us money! ;-). However, your money is serious business. We want to be sure to do this properly and that that tool is in tip-top shape before we launch it.
As soon as we have more info we'll be sure to update you!
Thanks for your understanding!

Why exactly do you refer to yourself in third person_

It's freakishly confusing to random bystanders like me, particularly since you're not even using your call sign.

...Are you Kiwi too_ I thought for certain I had identified him as kiwi but it seems you're probably also kiwi.

Or are you referring to him in third person_

Kiwi is probably some damnable have mind created by the game at this point. It's like village of the damned with creepy old men instead of cute alien children.

our name is kiwi for we are many

I don't speak in third-person. And it's possible that Chaffee uses Kiwi most places, but someone else ganked the name here. I'm not sure.

Damn, and here I was hoping to join some secret society of like-minded kiwis and address myself in third person for the confusion and irritation of all.

It'd be like the royal we except more confusing and less royal! Perhaps also hilarious. Remains to be seen.

This is the truth. Kiwi had actually reserved the name way back when you could reserve a call sign. However, it wouldn't let Kiwi use the name when they changed sites or whatever.

I find Kiwi fantastic and his posts most insightful.
And I'm not just saying that because I share his fetish for autocannons or anything.  *cough*

And good to hear, hugs, your posts are always the best.  
​If you're going to take my money, take it right.
EDIT:  If you're a chaffeemancer, do your spells involve throwing light tanks at people, astronauts at people, or oddly specific counties in Colorado at people_

That's not the problem, the problem is we simply want to know what's in it for those price points. :P

Gotcha and we're getting that locked in, too. Like I said, it's all very serious business. We gotta do it up right.
