All slots are taken, so, i really need you guys to hopefully leave some times - especially if you've already given it a guess.

Times will be deliberated in the typical "The Price is Right" style, closest time without going over wins!

Good luck, and Estes said he'd pay the winner's sub for a month.. don't hold either of us to that, ask him. ;)

I was half tempted to do a "squares" thing and have folks buy an hour of a day for $1 and Paypal it...lol. Winner takes all minus the "Waffle's House" percentage.

Guess too late for that now.... Well - 13 Days x24 hours in a day....
that'd be a $312 dollar Kitty - be enough for a good set of rudder pedals / joystick and that head turning gizmo viewing thingamajig. (tracIR?)


oh well....

was fun just typing "$312 dollar kitty""

I expete it to be out at the end of the year if that. They have been very quiet. No screen shots or updates of any type. I figure lots of problems they have to get through.

Why are so many people thinking fiscal or Julianr "quarter."   It could be he was refering to a luner quarter. In which case AH-II missed Sept altogther and might be coming out on Oct  10th, Nov 9th or Dec 8th.  Assuming he even this year!

i have to go with 28 or 29...there on weekend and there isnt any events happening this month after so it wont interfere with the SA teams stuff
Title: Delayed
Post by: Biggles on September 19, 2003, 05:59:53 PM
My guess is 10/12/03. Reason will be attributed to Skuzzy accidently ripping a power cord out of the wall, which will corrupt the hard drives of the PCs being used to finalize the code, resulting in a fallback to two-week old backups, with the resultant delay.

Has anyone realized that today is only the 1st day of fall hence truly the start of the 3rd quarter? At least the third season of the year, maybe HT doesn't measure quarters by the months, in government this would be the 1st quarter maybe he goes by the seasons>>>>>>>HUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH

Honestly I could care a rat's arse less when it comes out.  I am having fun and enjoying AH the way it is now.  Upgrade it?  Sure, i do it all the time whenever Billy Bob Gates OS decides to have a few of us fellow programmers take advantage of the system.  

Ya'll want and can't wait for what is going to be the next best thing since white sliced bread.  Give it a rest and enjoy what you have now, I enjoy flying 262's for 70-90 perks ;)  No matter what it is ya'll will ***** and moan as I shall but in a non sober state therefore I am excused.  This structure of a non belief sentenece was writtn under the influence of jaeger Bombs and Cap'n and Coke.

If your refering to this statement. It is not a first person declarative sentence as in " I pick December".

It's an "I understood" type of declaration.  I understood. You didn't.

Dang this is looking to be a good guess! The only change I'd make is that Skuzzy appears to be off the hook, after reading the latest news post about the release of AH2.

I'm sticking with 10/12/03

S!
