The first bets - mostly on the availability of the beta release, has started to expire and some players are now losing points. Additional bets can still be submitted.

How many points do I get if I predict that the beta/early access will never come, and instead it will just go straight to full release, and I'm right?

Ask instead how many points you will lose if you're wrong. :)

I've never been much for philosophy, though I do get into it on a more surface level.
So, I don't get any points if I predict that beta will never come out and I'm right?

PS:

Bet on general availability: July 7, 2016
Window of 1 day (assuming that means it has to come out on July 7 for me to be right)

Having thought about it some more. I guess we could structure a bet. Say 500 points per day between the day the bet is made and the day the game ships in general availability. Penalty points are 500 per day for every day the game is in beta or  early access up to the general availability release. You either win the positive points or you lose penalty points. No offset between the two.

It's not a safe bet, though.

I'll offtopic a bit, as you guys already do so :P
There's also a matter of definition of beta. I think friends and family beta already started, as in the last video we've seen results posted by ppl other than virgil.

So my bet was rejected?
I don't mind if that's the case, just want to make sure you didn't miss it.

Sorry, I missed it. It's now included and accepted. :)

The videos I've seen make this look a lot like CW2. What I'm worried about, is that the aspect of Creeper World will be destroyed if this continues.

This game doesn't even really look like Creeper World Game 4 when it comes to the enemy type. It's just saddening.

Perhaps (near-certainly) it is not meant to?

I think that by CW3 there is not a lot more that Creeper can do, given CRPL, without changing utterly.

Particles is a new concept, and is rather different.
A narrative is a lightly-marked path to another reality.

Also, it is not creeper world 4.
CW4 hype!!

I tried making CW3 custom maps once upon a time. I kinda failed. My maps were too large/stupidly long/stupidly easy. I think I only ever made one really good map, and its not for people who hate spores. I mean it'd be good shock therapy xD
