Indeed. The whining that is sure to follow when peoples systems don't live up to the hype should be amusing at best, an utter trainwreck at worst.

Far be it from me to advocate this prolonged suffering for information, less to defend its author for proliferating such excitement-soon-to-be-frustration, but my only solace (read that rationalization) is to believe that perhaps Markus is also running a sim that includes those aspects left out of the original parameters - quote "(The game does not write boxscores to disk so far, neither is roster AI, trading and player development enabled)" so he can offer the answer, a comparision, and a new found anticipation.

Or not.

...or he realized after the posted this thread that revealing sim speed at this point would be *really* bad idea.

Ha! I can't believe people are getting all bent outta shape over him not answering.

Your point may be the more likely one.

You asked a question. Now is the time to answer it. It would save us a lot of time. I am tired of scanning all the posts to see the answer.

Not that it matters to anyone, but me, I will not play this silly game anymore...and I am speaking only of this thread...not OOTPB.

Thank you.

While I generally don't care much about this thread, when EC writes something about either (1) the game or (2) this board, I listen, and hope Markus does, too.

Markus is so playing with us.

SSG Troyer · 12-22-2004, 03:00 PM

Heck, everyne else is padding their post numbers here, I might as well.

BTW, my answer was the right one ...

treedom · 12-22-2004, 03:01 PM

I have more posts than anyone in this thread (up to this point) and still haven't answered.

William4192 · 12-22-2004, 03:06 PM

i'm going to go with 12 seconds

William4192 · 12-22-2004, 03:07 PM

never mind, i meant 7 mins

Bobbuttons · 12-22-2004, 04:35 PM

I think we have all been played here. I suspect that Markus made himself sign a non disclosure agreement and by law can't tell us how long it takes.

jnshmoo · 12-22-2004, 04:36 PM

Even if he does tell us, don't forget that he's in Germany, so it'll be in metric time.

randomlefty10 · 12-22-2004, 06:04 PM

Duhh. Isn't it obvious that Markus can't tell us because he can't know for sure?
There's no way to measure the time without changing the answer. May I suggest some reading for the rest of you?

Dola,

Is Markus bipolar?

Because we bipolar people tend to be fickle and flighty like teenage girly girls like this... where we ask a question and then forget all about directly answering.

BadluckinOOTP · 12-22-2004, 08:22 PM

I bet Shaun Sullivan's kidnapped him so he can "eliminate" the competition.
