EricJ Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hi Everyone, I wanted to drop a line and let people know about tester selection, and some minor changes we're making. First, due to the so far overwhelming response and number of applications in the last 20 hours or so, I've decided to move up the cut-off date to Feb 20 at midnight (GMT -8). The fact is I already have more apps than I was anticipating! Second, due to the number of applications, we're revised our selection process some. We will be selecting a few key applicants, (people we've tested with before, those who hit key demographics we want, etc...), and the rest of the testers will be drawn randomly from qualified applicants. I'm just letting you know, because it's not personal or a popularity thing! Although bribes probably would help (kidding!!!!). Thanks for all the interest and excitement all!

Wodschow Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Ah.. I'm sad now.. ._. Really should've applied for RP playtesting back then, even hits us now Well well.. Fingers crossed Edit: Pessioptimism! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 well, doing previous playtest doesn't mean entry, you had to do previous playtest AND have proven to be good in that playtest. At least as many people in the RP playtest will have that count against them as for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rage Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 In cases where there are a group of people who entered to be playtesters, and only one is chosen, will the chosen one have sole access to the playtesting boards? I know of at least three other Warhamsters in Bellingham that have also put their names on the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 yeah, basically the chosen one will be the playtest liaison, and post the results/feedback to playtest from your group. I would however be open to swapping that person from within a group. So if you all apply, and your most busy/least talkative person gets selected, you as a group will be able to send me a note to switch out the person for unemployed guy with nothing but time on his hands to post detailed feedback (for example) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Shaper Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 If you want kids I have kids to send you! But Seriously I'm hoping I get a chance at play testing but I was wondering what ages your aiming for to start with the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_God Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 *Insert Home Alone screaming child macro* More seriously, to be expected that not everyone who applies will get into playtesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gensuke626 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I just hope Hawaii is one of those "Target Demographics". I don't necessarily want to be the Liason, but I do want to help...and as far as I know the two local Henchmen haven't signed up yet.

tajnisvet Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I would gladly help, but I couldn't keep my mouth shut, as Wyrd made the greatest mini game! I only hope that developers of PW will see to put something teasing for it every week or so. i'm hungry for more info about PW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talishko Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Is central London a demographic target? please please please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCoconutMonkey6X Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 When will the notifications be made? This waiting is killing me! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XboxVrtigo Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 It will take time to go through all the apps, about 150+ replies to the post. With everything else they have going on it wouldn't surprise me if we didn't hear about picks until next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 For demographic, I live in West Midlands, England for roughly half of the play testing period and South West Scotland for the other half, plus I study at a university full of filmmakers, engineers and game designers, who all love to geek it out every now and then (pitting the the game mechanics up to the test against sober and drunk students). Plus there's plenty of girls who could play a miniature/card game for the first time purely based on how adorable the minis are. Basically I know a lot of people who do technical stuff (computer programming, film technology) and people who are going into theatre (actors, friends from home where theatre is very popular). All in all I think I'm suited - like a lot of people here - to branch out from people I know would enjoy the game to ten times that many people who would likely never play a miniature game without a little push. Puppets have a lot of push in them. Plus who can argue with Wyrd Miniatures prices.... .... So how much are these little buggers gonna cost me?
