I won't pretend that I actually have a hope in hell of getting the beta, but if you can't find anyone else...

Name: Wonko the Sane will do fine.
E-mail: elirose93@sbcglobal.net
Platform: Macintosh
Previous Beta Experience: None whatsoever.
BOE Playing Skill: I'd say I'm pretty good. I got up to Castle Relaford in FS with a singleton. I beat every Arc scenario legitimately. I beat Quintessence. I nearly beat Revenge with a level 1 party, but forgot to go get the black amethysts.

Hey, the blocker won't let me see the lyceum, some details please? (and yes, I've tried the standard methods of getting around internet blockers.)

Why is the site blocked? Have you tried using another computer?

*sigh*

Let's just say that I go to a college that sees fit to ban sites/pages that fall under the category of "Interactive/Chat" for whatever reason. Oddly enough, the Lyceum is the ONLY site I've come across that gets this ban activated. Hence, I cannot view the page.

I can't use Google's cache to view the page, because Google didn't have a cache page on it.

Here is BainIhrno's post at Lyceum:

Okay, here's the deal:

I have begun alpha-testing my new scenario, The Final Spire. I am not going to send the beta out immediately. The reason I am making the beta call early is it would be more convienent for me to send all the betas out at once, rather than one at a time.

If all goes well, I will send the beta out this upcoming Saturday, during the evening. I will still accept applications beyond then, but keep in mind it's just more convienent for me if you sign up before. I would like to get about at least five testers.

This may not make sense, but this scenario is a sequel to a sceario that does not exist. This is because the scenario that came before it, Spires of Energy, crashed. However, I was so interested in the story that I couldn't make anything else.

Be warned: This scenario is quite hard, and is definitely not for a new player. It also uses a pre-fab party, so if a mac beta tester could make Ulrike (the PC) for Mac users, that would be nice. This scenario is also linear, like An Apology or Echoes: Assault

Finally, I cannot thank Barcoorah enough for helping me with most of the story and a few other aspects of this scenario. I guarantee that this scenario has a better plot than FER or ND.

Without further ado...

Thank you.

EDIT: Also, testing this scenario will involve more than just a "playthrough." Not much more, but worth mentioning. This will be detailed when you receive the beta.

Reminding everyone that the beta's going out tomorrow. While you can test at your own discretion, I'd like to try and get everyone who wants to test to sign up before tomorrow evening.

Note that I will have some questions for you to answer as well as a standard report. Thanks.

EDIT: Betas are sent.

Too many to remember. One of TM's, maybe, lots of n00b ones. Have successful designer experience.

Skill: Better than you :P . Actually been playing for several years, so I know what I'm doing. I may have a little bit too much of the "seen-it-all" attitude (I had it real bad once, then I played Tomorrow).

Round two is sent out, everyone who has tested round one should have round two, although Desert Plah will also be testing round two.

Thanks to everyone who tested for testing. Everyone is doing a good job so far.

FYI...

I will begin preparing the scenario for release after Barcoorah (Ash) and the next two testers send in their reports. It is just that it is taking so long, and with version three mostly fixed, I'm pretty sure that most beta reports will cover the same things.

The only reason that I won't release it after this round will be if my testers explicitly say it's not ready - it's been in beta for a very long time now. I will let you know what the deal is once the three abovementioned reports are sent in.

I apologize for double posting - I'm only doing it because no one would have posted here otherwise, editing doesn't bring topics to the top, and I feel this is important information for my testers. I also think a new topic might be a bit awkward. If I'm still out of bounds, let me know. Thank you for understanding.
