Thanks Markus!

I would just like to publicly thank Markus for making my first testing experience a positive one. I've tried really hard to help the other testers improve the game and he's always replying to our threads and giving me a few words of encouragement. In the last couple of days I've been constantly bothering him on MSN and he's been very polite and answered all of my questions despite this being "crunch" time for him. Finally, thanks to Steve, Scott, Yogi and all the other beta testers who've made me feel a part of the team with constant words of encouragement. You guys are going to love OOTP5

Steve Kuffrey · 02-26-2003, 07:23 PM

You are VERY wlecome, excellent job.

Jason · 02-26-2003, 08:31 PM

Thank YOU Katrina and all the beta testers for helping .400 out...we who spend our hard earned $$$ appreciate the troubleshooting.

Dargone · 02-26-2003, 08:52 PM

Yes, a big thank you to Katrina and all of the other testers. Thanks for giving your time to make the game that much better for all of us.

Kelric · 02-26-2003, 10:43 PM

Indeed a big thanks to all of those working for or with .400 to get this (hopefully) wonderful game out, and a big thanks to Markus.

Now can I test on OOTP6, or do I need to do some more brown nosing?

On the screenshots I kept my cursor over the MSN systray icon...but the popup box telling you who's signed in would never appear!!!

Having such a blast testing v4, I was excited to work on v5.................

each year, I think there is no way Markus can top the last version--and each year he blows me away!!

Thanks to all the testers and especially to Markus as he killed each bug as we found them.

Markus, you truly are a visionary person and this game is so far ahead of v4, that, again, I see NO way you can top it next year...........but I look forward to possibly testing THAT gem too!

kudos to all the testers------you guys did one whale of a job.

spleen1015 · 02-27-2003, 08:26 AM

I must thank Markus and Steve as well. I have wanted to be a beta tester for OOTP for a long time. It has been a priviledge to work with the beta group. Everyone involved did an awesome job. I hope to have the same opportunity with future releases of OOTP and other .400 products.

I hope the rest of you like what you get tomorrow as much as the beta team does. I think everyone is very pleased with the game you'll be getting tomorrow.

If anyone has any questions about the game after tomorrow, I will try to answer them and help you with the game.

jammincrowe · 02-27-2003, 08:35 AM

Also agree.. while I don't post often here, I view the board daily... and I am AMAZED at Markus, Steve, the team and the beta testers... An incredible partnership between that team and passionate users... a model for other companies to follow...

THANKS TO EACH OF YOU FOR THIS GREAT PRODUCT !
