Go up one level in this thread


The match is certainly very interesting and it suggests that the Tiger 13.0 beta
is a very strong engine. Not a big surprise considering the amount of successful
games posted here recently. The same naturally goes for Gambit Tiger.
Congratulations to Christophe Theron for that achievement.

However, I do find the exchange afterwards slightly dubious from the perspective
of objective information. Especially since everyone, except Jorge Pichard, are
Rebel beta testers by own admisson. Don't you have a mailing list or something
similar where you can share your feelings, impressions and general well-being?

This thread, and other similar "private" discussions among Rebel beta testers
here, is borderline commercial exhortation IMO. Bombarding the unsuspecting
consumer with biased comments én masse seem to be the intention. The Sune
Larsson post gives the impression that he's an average consumer when he's
actually a betatester as well, judging from previous messages here. I presume he
already knows what games Chris has or hasn't played. Rather blatant to some and,
excuse my language, slightly pathetic.

So instead of adding subjective comments, it would be preferable if you just
posted games and answered questions and comments from potential customers.
Starting threads with "spontaneous" comments and patting each others backs until
your hands are sore seem slightly ridiculous. Letting the members of this forum
judge for themselves without staged commentary seem fairer.

That just my opinion.

Mogens.
