Topic

What's the rumor for next play day?

This is a recycled topic - but asking the same question 

Father's Day is just about over, Glitch has been closed all weekend.

Does anyone have a clue when we might open besides "soon"

Last time game closed I was in the middle of transporting and don't know if I'm just a pile of pixels floating around in cyper-space or if I made it in the front door.

Looking for any information, even maybes

    oh no!!! I swallowed the key while hugging him!

  • LMAO, Lord Bacon-o. Love it! And yes, I know. My husband is a screenwriter by training (no joy yet on that) and has sold several short stories. We are a classic right brain/left brain duo. Bit like coming from different planets but we balance well:)

  • I hope there's an 'examine' option and not a 'taste' one for the hairball.

  • lol, Ebil...you're elected either way :D :D

    @ eric ... Can we haz open sign now, please?

  • Why do I have a feeling there is a conversation similar to this being had at TS...

    stoot: Geesh Eric, why do you post such things?!...don't you know they are addicted to this game and will likely ignore the 'barring unforeseen circumstances piece'...

    eric: Yea, I know...but isn't it hilarious to watch all their excited postings?!

    stoot: Hmmm, you may be on to something...pass the popcorn...

    eric: Besides...they all love me now!!! Maybe I'll get some piggies named after me too.

  • Well, I just popped over to say there are some unforeseen circumstances right now. It is unclear at this point if it will keep us from opening today :(

    This will probably be the last you hear from us, until we open the test; sorry about that. I probably should not have said anything before!

    Love,
    Eric

  • @Beach Bum:  LOL How prophetic! 

    That's okay, Eric. We'll still name some piggies after ya:)
    Posted 18 months ago by GreyGoose Subscriber! | Permalink
  • We still luvs ya, eric (((HUGS))) and have tons of faith in y'all..."today" doesn't end for another 7 hours where I live :D :P

  • I'd rather hear tentative plans than none at all.  At least this way I know that I should be checking once in a while.  :)

  • I think "eric" is a name the giants use when they want to torture us.  Remember last week when "eric" said the test would open Thursday?

    Posted 18 months ago by Violet Faulds Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Good luck getting the problem fixed soon. If not, we'll be happy with the game opening early tomorrow <wink> :).

  • +1 @ glum pudding...now I know...hurry up and get house chores done tonight since nothing will be done the next few nights after work...kat and tally who were hoping for a Wed test...wow, they are the big winners! :)

    lol @ BB's post...wow, that was prophetic...

  • Ummm ... in case eric really IS a DEV I promise to name 5 piggies for him if the game opens no later than tomorrow.  :)

  • @Beach Bum: I think the conversation was more like this.

    Stoot: Hey Eric, it's time to measure the addictiveness* quotient again.
    Eric: Sure thing boss. How should we do it this time?
    Stoot: Why don't you post something hinting that the game might be turned on and we'll see how many hits we get on the server.
    Eric: Aye aye, cap'n!

  • *sniffle* I still love you Eric, even if you're not going to let us play Glitch today.  

    But that's ok.  I have specifications to write, and playing Glitch would keep me from designing a report that's going to have 10 table joins in it (despite my best efforts to *not* have that many - a bunch are linking tables though....)

  • BTW...Go Study Laurali!!  You won't be studying tomorrow.  ;)

    LOL @ magic panda...think you might be right...

    I was wondering if it went more like this...

    stoot:  Hey eric...let's stir the pot....
    eric: Sure, whatta wanna do?
    stoot: Tell them there is an unforeseen circumstance, and watch them flip out...
    eric: But there really isn't...they are going to revolt
    stoot: I know...but it will be even funnier to watch...
    eric: Sigh, okay, you're the boss, but they are going to hate me now...
    stoot: Naw, they are all pretty forgiving...besides it will be soon (ie, within the next 24 hours)...pass me another mountain dew...we could do this all night...heehee
    eric: Well, I think we'll need more popcorn...

  • Hey folks

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we're afraid we cannot start the test today due to the issues Eric mentioned above. :( But, we will work on getting it back on for you tomorrow. :)

  • @Tarod - that was AWESOME.  I didn't know the game had a game server hiding somewhere. 

    I think it was billionaire bacon that caused the issues.  The piggies kept eating it.

  • Oh Kevbob, my hero!  You have saved my Chemistry grade from an F to a C at least (That's the equivalent of one day of studies).  @B3achy-- already on it!  Studying, p90x, dinner, studying, showering, studying, the tomorrow Glitch~!!!!!
