Time for saying Thanks!

Hi Everyone!

Now that I've had a day off - we took yesterday off, after 8 days of 18 hour work days - I thought I'd take a minute and just thank a few people.

First there is Illwinter. I believe they have done an excellent job in creating Dominions 3. Now that games are arriving in mass to many happy gamers

, I hope to hear even more about the fans thoughts on the new version.

Second, I think we here at Shrapnel owe a great amount to Bruce Geryk for his awesome manual. I have read, all over the web, raves about the manual. We were confident Bruce could deliver the goods and boy did he!

And finally, we owe all of those who pre-ordered and those who rushed to order once the game was released for making this the largest release in Shrapnel's history! You folks are great!

And don't think it ends there. We are still receiving orders at a high level. We thought that our first printing of Dominions 3 would get us through the Christmas season. Now it is looking as though we will be running a second printing next month.

Happy gaming!

Hear, hear! In addition to all the aforementioned people, I'd like to thank the Shrapnel Games crew for their role in bringing the Dominions series to us all. Keep up the good work, guys and gals!

Well, it seems no one thanked the beta testers for tainting their dom3 game experience with bugs

Other than that, no one gets my thanks 'till my copy arrives

(Hehe, I actually dreamt today that the game arrived, but the package was too big to fit in the mailbox, so the mailman taped it to the mailbox using duct tape

)

Thanks to everyone.

OMG

Tim, you should have taken TWO days off!!!! How could you leave out the mightiest, most fearless, most awesome beta testers that ever hunted bugs???? I hate it when he posts without letting me read it first!

To all you guys (and girls

) who have dedicated your time, energy and dedication for the past year, we thank you! We are extremely proud of your work - and to think Tim didn't even give you a lousy "thank you." Please forgive him. His lack of sleep is showing.

We also thank you for the time you are here now helping answer questions, writing AARs, and sharing your expertise.
Our beta testers are the BEST!

Thanks to Illwinter, thanks to Shrapnel, thanks to everyone who helped make Dominions 3.

I really love the game, been playing 4 days now and have barely scratched the surface. I know I will still be playing this game 6 months from now.

I hope u go on to have a 3rd, 4th etc...print run. This game rocks, well done.

Thanks a bunch, Illwinter and Shrapnel. You guys are really great. Thanks to the beta testers for doing a good job and not just playing the game for fun. I know it's tempting.

In 6 months you'll still be kind'o newbie

... I' m playing it (Dom1-2 I mean...), for 3 years now and keep rolling !

I also thank all the great guys at IW, SG, betatesters and fellow forumers, and hope Dom3 will shatter the sales charts ! (yeah I know, that's maybe a little optimistic, but yet ... )

No Tim, we must say thanks to Illwinter and Shrapnel. You lads gave us the best TBS again. This will keep us busy until Doms 4.

That's okay Annette, that's mostly my job anyway!

I know I already said it to them via email, but we really do appreciate each and every one of our beta testers for their dedication and hard work on not only this game, but all of our games.

Beta Testers, you rock!

A special thanks to Daynarr for being our Lead Tester on this project.
