Bryson, I'm Afraid I Am Going To Have To Report You To The ETS. ( The Ethical Treatment Of Sappolings) And To The Elvish Farmer's Uniom.

My Elbow Drop CLEARLY says 'The Elves gathered huge piles of rot to grow fungus.' so they're clearly already in on it.

...in other news, my Punch apparently can't be blocked by more than one creature and my Top Rope Samoan Headbutt's diet consists of fruits, plants, small woodland animals, large woodland animals, woodlands, fruit groves, fruit farmers, and small cities.

Go figure.
Appropriate, since I think Umaga's diet consists of those very things.

I never said it was Umanga.  It could be...uh...any...samoan... ...  .....

Okay, it could be the Headshinkers, yes.  If it is, we need a Captain Lou Albano Pre-match Manager, or else.

Although Beta testers will be given access to the documents and forums at this time, if you plan on playtesting immediately you're going to have to make your own proxies.  Going to Beta a week or two earlier than expected means that we don't have the formal PDF proxies ready, so you'll have to be creative.

Where are these documents and forums?

Yes I received it. I talked with Bryson about it and agreed but now I do not see where I can find these documents and forums.

They are still in alpha testing. Currently these are the alpha testers:

CREED
Mike Likes
Jamie Davenport
Kevin Fish
Brian Mitchell
Mark Laroche

Beta starts next week probably. So you won't have access to the forums and files till then.

Ding ding ding!  Get the man a copy of Choking Tethers from Onslaught with 'From The Top Rope' written on it!

Additionally, we moved to 0.3 today rather than waiting until the weekend, so you can expect us to go to Beta by Friday if all goes well.  Cheerio!

Breakneck speed much?  As a beta tester, I'm suddenly nervous that this won't be a summer break project as I predicted--it'll hit me during these last few weeks, exams included.  I'll manage, just understand if I'm not always around.

You can chalk up the speed of the Alpha testing to how thorough and skillful the Alpha testers are.  "Theory" is very different from "Practice", and there's only so many weeks you can spend discussing the former before you get a product you want to see tested.

You Beta chaps will have much, much, much more time to test the actual product than the Alpha chaps had to discuss the theory and balance behind it.  Around 2-3 months I'd wager, assuming people can actually stand to play and report 100s of games of Raw Deal.

Will cards like Manager Interferes or Revolution of the Mind be reprinted... Most ppl would want the cards and it would be nice if everyone could have it printed anytime..

Some cards will be reprinted as they are, some will be reprinted with modification, and some probably won't be reprinted, at least not for now.

To run with your example, 'Manager Interferes' will be reprinted with a slight change for balance purposes, but Revolution of the Mind won't be reprinted, at least not for now.

The guiding idea is to make the set internally consistent; To reprint cards willy-nilly just because people want them for RDC wouldn't be doing justice to those people who want to play NRD as a serious format.

You mean, you're going to force people to actually have a Pre-match manager in their ring before they can play it?  Balderdash!

Thanks for the info, bryson. HHH getting a reprint or just a superstar specific? cards being modified does it act as an MRP or throwback?

If all goes as planned, I'm going to have some decent reading during this nightmare weekend at work (overtime, gettin PAID son!). Ah well, hope things keep going well, and I have no problem cracking open my Apprentice patch editor again for this sucker either (not to mention the bookending Revo 4 either).

Oh...kay.

The 1.0 is up, which means we've officially moved from Alpha to Beta.

If y'all are lucky, when CREED next gets online he'll add those of you on the Beta list to the forum access lists, or work whatever magic is appropriate to make sure the NRD forums appear somewhere at the bottom of your forum list.

If for whatever reason a day or two goes by and you still find yourself without access, please send me a PM and I'll try to sort it out.

And let me make this clear: WE HAVE AN ATTENDANCE FORUM FOR A REASON.  POST THERE ONCE SO I KNOW YOU HAVE FORUM ACCESS.  <3

WIZARD!  -poof-

Magical forum spells used, all names on the 'Beta Tester' list should now have access.  Bryson, if you want to add anyone else or want the Tech. Writers added, just shoot me a PM.  :)

Ladies and gentlemen,

Could the following people:

Cryonix

Please post once in the attendance forum in the NRD forums, or send me a PM saying you're no longer interested?

There are people who were denied spots because we were full, and I'd like to start contacting them as replacements if any of you on the above list are no longer interested or accounted for.

Cheers,
Bryson

PS. Please disregard the above if you've already posted on the attendance forums and I somehow missed you.
