Road to Gold 16:55 HRS. EST

Master of Orion III

We've all been waiting on this one and it seems the wait is almost over. If everything goes according to plan, you should expect to see a "Gone Gold" announcement as early as Tuesday, 01/21/03. Thumbs up to Quicksilver for not pushing it out the door over the Holidays. Looks like EB's date of 02/25/03 is on target.

Now, once this one is on shelves, could you PLEASE get to work on a sequel to Conquest of the New World! Thanks.

I'll believe it when i see it.

Main_Brain · January 18, 2003, 18:52

1/21/03 as if there are 21 months :P
Americans...

Master of Orion III is in final regression testing, and will be released very soon. Date to be announced shortly.

Apparently it is a strain to some. A date with a number greater than 12, makes it easy to handle, it is the 2/5/xx that are open to misinterpretation. But a quick look at their location often resolves it.

ikilledmybroker · January 19, 2003, 11:14

Date eh !!!

I assume if is TWO thousand and three we are talking about.

LOL

Paddy_ · January 19, 2003, 11:27

At last !

There is a difference between americans and europeans NOT to argue about.
And if its only the date ... now I´m really happy

ikilledmybroker · January 19, 2003, 11:37

Now we just need to get 'em to say "fifteen twenty" instead of three twenty !!!

moomin · January 19, 2003, 11:46

This looks promising. Gone Gold has a solid track record.

Proteus_MST · January 19, 2003, 12:19

We have to admit,
there is a possibility that the game goes gold on 21.01.2003 (

)

raghar · January 19, 2003, 19:19

I think you should look at apolyton review. First part was at 9. second at 16. and after last part it could be gold.

TheMaestro · January 20, 2003, 04:03

Gone Gold is usually very solid...but let's all not get our hopes up. I'm thinking the list will grow to include March and April as release months.

You need to correct your signature...You forgot

MDA · January 20, 2003, 16:31

the key phrase here is "as early as" which means the date posted is a best case scenario.

If they'd researched Stasis Field technology sooner they could have had it done a year ago.

Jamski · January 21, 2003, 04:04

Well, its the 21st now in Germany...

No announcement from IG Europe

Just keep on a-waitin', I guess.

War of Art, what flag is that ?

There's a prize if you can guess. Look at the top left corner for a clue. I'll tell you if you're getting warm...

ikilledmybroker · January 21, 2003, 07:20

Well, that's what prompted the question !!! I saw the Union Jack, so I'm assuming Commonwealth. However, you often see it quartered on Military forces (Especially Navy and Regiment flags).

It is too small to see on my screen, but looks like a crest (principality ?).

You're location of "Germany" does not seem to help.

Give us a hint.

Jamski · January 21, 2003, 07:53

Well, as a hint let me just say, "getting colder"

This is an

evil hint.

Oh, this country is not fully independant...

-Jam (I'm not German, so why should I use their flag? Eh?)

Main_Brain · January 21, 2003, 07:55

Well I can tell the Country on this Flag can be shortened to BAT :P

I still hope the release is February 28 and not earlier

Thats the Day I write my last exam for some months lets see if I get lucky

I do indeed live in a B.A.T., but where and what is a B.A.T. ?

Answers on the back of a post card please...

)

ikilledmybroker · January 21, 2003, 08:40

British Antarctic Territory ?

That puts you in the Antarctic (near the Falklands ?), or Cambridge, UK. Judging by the Time Zone issues and the speed of your reply, I suggest the Cambridge Antarctic Survey (as opposed to the Discovery Centre in Dundee or the RRS Discovery)

ikilledmybroker · January 21, 2003, 08:54

Are you on 20 Hour Daylight mode ?

Have you ever eaten a Penguin ? (Does it taste like Chicken?)

Jamski · January 21, 2003, 08:56

Well, well done. (like the double well?)

I congratulate you.

British Antartic Territory is indeed the right answer. I can't believe you worked this out in one afternoon, looked at the time zone and everything. Man, you must be as bored (and cold?) as I am.

You win...

100 pounds (to be paid in MoO money)

-Jam

Jamski · January 21, 2003, 08:58

Hold on...

You didn't look at the forum "thing where you choose your flag" and find a territory with the initials B.A.T. did you.

I may have to take my prize back, unless you can tell me what my flag is showing....

_Everything_ tastes like chicken

What did your broker do ? Sell you stocks in QS? Still waiting for your profits to come running in
