That would explain why he's been getting irate. He seems like the type to loose those types of bets.

only 2 more minutes of Nate shaking his smeared with peanutbutter manly parts at us now... god I'll love it when the timer is gone ;) (and so will Nate I guess, so he can start a slow healing proces towards sanity again...)

Well, the timers been on 0 for 31 mins, and no nate... i'm disapointed. Really.

well, I'm not quite honoustly... but the way it is now I can't do anything with it (link won't open obviously), so for now I'd rather see Nate doing dirty dances with his private parts... even though I'd probably stab my eyes out a second after I watched it.

I found it in the first minute, but the site kept erroring/timing out. Bugs = bad = GoldenTiger probably not in beta = Sad GoldenTiger :(.

I still don't think I found it... I mean, I had this weird text with two buttons, but didn't read that carefully, was that it? Elseway I'm still looking (not noticing any different about the site though :s )

Well I turned my laptop on at 5 mins before it was due to expire only to find the timer on the site was almost 10 minutes out of sync!!

So I checked it and it was on about 20 odd seconds so yeah I watched it countdown from there just to see what happened! there were 2 guys from the office standing over watching aswell lol!!

Its not like I had it sat there all day waiting though........ although I'm sure there people that did!

I also checked on last 30 seconds or so... I don't see the harm. I mean, I wasn't really waiting for it, I just had the page open while I was studying a bit. Besides, we got the cool freaky useless message by doing so :kissit:

Weren't the first 10 people to be on the page when the timer hit zero to be invited? hence the number of 110?

I know I wont get it as I wasn't logged in (muppet)

However I'm sure there were a hell of a lot more than 10 people who watched the timer hit zero so how are they going to pick 10 people?

What I also though was odd is that I had Only War forums open in another tab, I flicked to the timer on about 2 mins or something, then to Only war to find a post with like 4 replies saying the timer had hit zero and the CE page was open...... find that odd when I still had time to tick down? so again I could of been one of the first 10 but I was a few minutes behind other people?!

you weren't one of the first 10 since you're not on the list with the winners ;)

Now, first off, you weren't logged in (neither was I, so I guess we're both equally brilliant (or was it dumb?) ). Second: the site they were talking about, was the page that also had the secret link, so when you were looking at the timer, it would suddenly turn into the pre-order ad (we both got that weird message at that point), and then you had to click that ad to go to the page. It are the first 10 people who basically clicked on that ad (and who's PC worked fastest and loaded the site just a sec faster) that won the free CE boxes.

Another 100 people (the ones who found the hidden link and clicked it first) will just get a beta invite. Maybe you're one of them (wouldn't count on it though)

Yeah true, but I would of thought they'd annouce it on the site saying something like, winners have been mailed, check your inboxes.

At least everyone knows one way or another!

I'd hope they would post first-name last initial or something so everyone knows if they're supposed to get info... not delete all reference to the other 100 winners and post a partial list :(.

when they sent the mails they'll probably announce it... just the way they did with all other beta invites.

anyways, 'heres to hope' you said, well, I'll drink to that! (then again, I'm a student from Ghent, so I'd drink to anything, but hope is one of the better reasons :) )

:) those names or mails or whatever they'll do with it will come in due time mate :) I just guess we'll have to be patient. For now think of all the sweet gameplay videos that should appear on youtube from the Paris event not too long from now... :D

I presume they'll just update the accounts of the beta winners to give them beta access. I'll be happy with a "the beta winners have been contacted" or somat asap. Meh, I'm starting to sound like a broken record. It just seems the past 2+ weeks have been nothing but a big long wait with a kick in the jiblets when the delay was announced.

Yep, that's why I'm so frustrated as well :(.
