You would be proud of me. ;) I meant to post this yesterday, but it got, uh, busy around here...

They did say 99.9% by April 15. <HR>I can't believe y'all let this clown get away with this strawman.

I just read back through Markus' recents posts. Here's what he *REALLY* said:

OK guys, time for a little update.

Unfortunately, I was moving to a different house, and this move (couldn't be delayed, btw) cost me about 1 week of development time, and I was without internet as well. Anyway, beta testing is going at full steam, and I still believe we will be able to release the game before April 15th if nothing unforseen happens. However, we will only release the game when we think it is stable and all new features are working as advertised!

In the meantime here are some new features for you, that are included in OOTP 6 and haven't been mentioned yet:
- Include cash in trades (the AI uses this as well)
- Ability to import/export spring traing plans via FTP
- Schedule CSV import/export
- One button to generate auto depth charts based on the starters in the lineups

We'll have more screenshots within the next couple of days http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/images/smilies/smile.gif

Now I need get back to coding!!

Cheers,
Markus <HR>

Note the highlighted sentences:

"Anyway, beta testing is going at full steam, and I still believe we will be able to release the game before April 15th if nothing unforseen happens. However, we will only release the game when we think it is stable and all new features are working as advertised!"

Those two sentences are a FAR cry from "99.9% by April 15th." Again, this is the problem that has plagued this place from the start. People are reading what they HOPE OOTP Developments will say into what they are actually saying, posting it in threads, and then others are treating the new strawmen as gospel truth.

Sheesh.

Hehehe. :)

Strawman - n. - virtually every argument stevew or wig makes in a political debate.

Damn sideline skin. It is so right, but works so poorly.

Doesn't it make this a Red Herring?
