HAHAHA these guys are desperate for customers:
Our records show that you have been helping us out in the WWII Online Beta
program. It has been a long hard road getting to where we are now, and as
you well know, there is still plenty more to do.
SPECIAL OFFER TO BETA TESTERS
We'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your on going
efforts and hope you are enjoying the WWII Online virtual battlefield. Our
team is dedicated to improving and adding to this online experience and we
hope to have you as a member of our community for a long time to come.
With that in mind we have a couple of programs that we are kicking off today.
The first is a special offer just for Beta testers. Right now all of you
are on a two week countdown until you are required to purchase the game and
sign up for a WWII Online pay-for-play subscription in order to continue
playing the game after November 5th.
With the assistance of our publisher, we would like to offer you a special
subscription, available through 11:59pm on October 29th that will enable
you to continue your playing without purchasing a WWII Online retail box.
This subscription will include a full month of free playtime in addition
to the previous two week extension before any billing information will be
processed. Signing up for this subscription will also automatically make
you eligible for the "special thanks" prize give away detailed below.

The screwed
The enraged
The suckers

Nobody, but NOBODY is the master of humor like Creamo. All you other guys are distant "also-rans".
I surrender to the master. :D
