Chris Avellone lost a bet and now owes us a 2015 RELEASE troll + a bottle of beverage

[Crooked Bee]

So, back in May 2014 I made a bet with MCA via email. I was pretty sure PoE wouldn't come out in 2014 and would be delayed to 2015. MCA was pretty confident as to the contrary.

The terms were,

If the game releases in 2014, we draw a troll for you + send you a bottle of (something, whatever it is you prefer). If not, you draw a special 2015 RELEASE troll for us + send us some kind of beverage.

That was also the True Reason (tm) why I made that thread in GRPGD.

Now that the delay has been officially announced, it means that we have won.

Dunno what kind of beverage we'll ask him for yet. We're open to suggestions.

(It is a bit of a pity we don't get to draw a troll for MCA for a change though.)

"Beverage offered at the Pillars of Eternity release party."

Betting on RPG moving it's release date?
You should do it with every developer, just try not to drown in booze when mailmen will start moving crates into your house.

You wouldn't believe how sure Chris was back in May that the 2014 release deadline would be kept.

Well, I guess you would, since he even bet a troll + booze on that.

Mountain Dew seems reasonable.

Something that's been aged for an Eternity.

Settle for no less than for an ABSINTHE.

So, out of curiosity, who is this "Codex" dude who will get to drain the bottle?

I'll volunteer

Bottle of a good Absinthe is what's needed.

 

[Raghar]

Crooked Bee bet the bottle, so it should get the bottle. The rest of codex would get only the troll. (With exception of these who would physically be able to visit. I think he should send two bottles, the other for DarkUnderlord. How is Austria anti-absinthe law? He didn't have police visit lately.)

I promised you I would quote this post when PoE is delayed to 2015, Roguey.

Maybe it is a psychological thing, that developers need to trick themselves and work as a game going to be completed in time, so they could release it several months later after solving all these unexpected problems and slowdowns that arise during development. And if they would work from the start expecting that game would be postponed, then it wouldn't be ready even by that time...
I don't see any other reasons, why developers with experience of multiple project would expect that this case would be somehow different than all previous ones.

did two cups of that one after another on some party. Crazy shit.

Yeah a bottle of gamer fuel. That was going to be my suggestion. He should throw in a bag of Doritos or Slim Jims to be nice.

God no~ Approriate booze of choice would be moonshine. Corn moonshine aged in oak barrel. Close your eyes and pretend it's from mutated corns, from a still in gecko-infested wood...


I love to play Fallout 2 again, but it's water under tooooooooo many bridges.

Ask him to descend from the heavens in a chariot of gold and give you a pint of his urine. It will grant you a powerful blessing.

 

[Haba]

or...

 

[ghostdog]

Ask him for one of these beverages :

Although the codex really craves only for this one :

Spoiler

But in the off chance he is not welcome in Vrischika's shop, I think "Arcanum" is definitely the best choice.

When you recieve the bottle of booze, I'll draw you a grognard troll for MCA, JES & Co.
