Dear Kevin ***,

Welcome to the StarCraft 2 Friends and Family Beta Pre-Release. Your association with *** has given you the opportunity to be part of our preliminary testing regarding server load and basic battle.net interactions. Please be aware that the level of opponents will be limited until the true beta opens up but you should understand that this is a complete joke and you're a dumbass. You should find the necessary download in your battle.net account at ***.

Thank you for your enthusiasm and support to a member of our family.

Kevin is stupid.

I talked to him, and he and a few others managed to pull off this prank today to a few people. One of his Needless to say I had some choice words with him and I'm sure he's still laughing. And before you go on, yes, I'm pissed at him no matter how much I admit it was a damn good prank.

Thoughts?

So does that mean that the StarCraft 2 Friends and Family Beta hasn't even started yet?
Any yeah, nice prank ^ ^




.

I don't blame you for being pissed at him! It was a good prank tho! Now you just have to figure out how to get even...

That's as good as the graphical designer joke ^^

And again it's not me XD

But look at it the possitive way, you are in the list for the f&f beta testing. :P

I know, and yes, if there was a F&F beta, I'd be part of it for sure.

Or probably the joke is on us and Gifted and the Staff and Blizzard's families are testing StarCraft 2...

>.> <.<

So why did I get informations about F&F beta 2 weeks ago that it's going to start?
was that a prank too? >.>

ff beta are usually short right? wotlk was like 2 weeks?

Spychi buddy, I can't explain it. All I can say is that if I have had access to SC2, I'm sure you can agree that I wouldn't be playing L4D2 all this time, right? (You see me on Steam, you know I play it often enough) ^_^

Ah yes.

Well, Gifted, I notice you're not saying that it ISN'T out. :P

Just that if it were out you'd be playing it.

If it was out, I would be in it. I already know that and have been told that it is not active.

Oh... huh.

I thought you were being quaint.

Yeah, and I figured any sort of my normal responses would also be viewed that way. >.<

Ultimately I don't like confusing you guys! I figured straight forward was the best thing I could do to help alleviate any skepticism. I felt it was the better path.

... speaking of being able to talk about things directly... I'm making a rather nice post soon.

Well, I was kind of expecting you to say 'it is not out.' or at least 'I am not playing it.' instead of 'if it were out...', because that actually doesn't say anything, just implies. :P

Yeah, I'll admit there was room for speculation, sorry about that. ^_^

@Gifted: Eventually, you can't talk about the F&F Beta as you are under a NDA agreement. With the public beta coming soon, I believe that F&F has been runing for some time. Oh, and I also know how they work because I have participated in one a short time ago. (I'm allowed to say this) Pretty much this kind of betas are local and do not involve a lot of people, this is why they are scheduled. So basically you have the time to play and then use the forums. ;D F&F betas are internal, so unless you are involve you will never know when happened.

Yes, some times the skeptic guy within myself tends to move out :P; but this is just my own speculations. I can't be proven wrong and so can't be proven right.

PS: You should be grinning if I'm right

It also depends on Blizzard and how they want to run their betas.
