My birthday is January 14. Guess what I want? (and I don't mean the obvious thing every teenage boy wants;))Oh well, maybe Argentum will come out next year... Or for my half-birthday. That would be dumb. I gotta go help put up Christmas lights... See ya.

I don't have an alpha or beta...

My Demo Is great, but it takes alot of ram.. Like 16 megs. But Guys, FUck, It's amazing.. Game play is like better than starcraft, it feels weird touching the screen to move your guys instead of a mouse cause i've on ever played rts's on the PC.

I have several betas. Pretty good stuff if you ask me.

I wouldn't necessarily call it better than Starcraft, because to me that would be a downright lie. Ag definately has alot of things going for it, but these paperwork issues certainly aren't one of them.

The real reason for Argentum's delay:<br>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A3715-2001Dec19.html<br><br>Dan East

[Paul]

so the reason for the months delay is an event that happened on the 19th? yeah, okay...

[Dan East]

If you would take the time to read the first 6 words in that article, you would see "After months of escalating economic crisis...".<br><br>And of course I am not actually claiming that the reason Argentum is delayed is because Carpe is out rioting and / or protecting property from rioters.<br><br>Dan East

[Luciano U. Werner]

Things are ugly over there.

[Paul]

so... what does economic crisis in argentina have to do with a delayed argentum?

[Dan East]

Maybe Carpe is afraid to have any funds transferred into his country since bank accounts are being frozen, and he doesn't have anyone he can trust in another country that can hang onto sales revenue until things smooth over. Maybe I just posted that link since the main programmer's country is in severe turmoil, and it could have future repercussions causing even further delay.<br><br>I know the main reason Argentum is delayed, and of course it is not directly because of socioeconomic problems in Argentina, but that certainly does not help. If you couldn't walk down the street and go into the grocery store to get a box of Cheerios to eat because the store has been looted, I doubt you would worry too much about sitting in front of a computer working on a game.<br><br>Dan East
