Force Beta Bottle Cap Guerilla Campaign

[EVILPIG]

The mystery surrounding Beta and when the game will "ship" has remained vague, but I have uncovered the secret of Auraxis! As you can see, our fates are in the hands of an empty water jug and the rate at which it is filled. The Jug is powerful. The Jug has all of our answers. We must appease The Jug!

Collect any and all bottle caps you can gather and send them to The Jug, via Higby at:

Matthew Higby c/o Sony Online Ent.

FEED THE JUG!!

Why did "Danaïdes' jug" come to my mind ?
:confused:

[TacosWLove]

Yes. All hail the powerful Jug! I for One welcome our new Jug overlords! :D Doesnt seem like we have too much more to go! :D

[sylphaen]

Anyone here who works at a recycling facility ? A truck-full should be enough...

[Ailos]

Oh man... those guys were clearly not counting on having alcoholics as their fans: I've got at least 100 caps (of as yet unopened beer) in my fridge right now. That's my personal weekly consumption.

[Robotix]

I don't know what confuses me more: the thing on the left marked "Lipstick", or the thing on the right which appears to be a nutsack of some kind.

What the hell is going on over there?

it's a kangaroos nutsack, my brother brought me one home from Oz that's the bottle opener version mine was a lighter holder, I already raised it with Higby on twitter ;)

[Ailos]

Does the lipstick piggy bank mean that we'll be able to order DVD collector's editions of the game with Dancia's and PurrfectStorm's kisses on them?

Time to call in the pit crew. Oh wait, this post isn't helping.

[Ailos]

Well, if we're talking about railing things...

[TheRagingGerbil]

Wow, this ship is sinking fast...

[Ale]

That'll do, pig.

That was a gift from an aussie PlanetSide fan! Pretty righteous gift actually.

[moosepoop]

it looks like the beer meter has almost reached beta :o

[SGTalon]

The only time i have heard the term "lipstick on a pig" was when talking about things that will never be right....

Like, you can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig...

I am guessing it has something to do with the kangaroo nutsack on Higby's desk. There is no way on earth that it is ever acceptable...

[Gonefshn]

Does this confirm the Kangaroo nutsack theory?

[Shogun]

hmmm... are the lipstick kisses really meant for the ps2 collectors edition? or for the gift from the aussie ps fan? ;)

[Malorn]

What we don't see is all the other jugs under the table marked "Soon"

[Hamma]

What we don't see is all the other jugs under the table marked "Soon"

Indeed :lol:

[Shogun]

send them more beer!

[Bravix]

Anyone notice that is says, "Ship" at the very top?

[Burnzblood]

:D more incentive for beer drinking! Thanks PSU!

(in all fairness there could be non-alcoholic beverages that have bottle caps as well)

[Luperza]

Unfortunately, sending us bottle caps will not help us get to Beta or Launch any faster. =P Nice gesture though. Haha.

(Joke around the office is that you should just send us more beer, but I think that might be illegal or something. HAHA!)

[CodeForge]

All I know is when cases of beer show up with feature requests taped to them, those features usually end up getting done... coincidence?

[The Kush]

Oh man... those guys were clearly not counting on having alcoholics as their fans: I've got at least 100 caps (of as yet unopened beer) in my fridge right now. That's my personal weekly consumption.

Same haha

[Burnzblood]

Do they still make "BAWLS" that used to be my official PS1 drank of choice. Lots of caps issued out back in the day.

God damn it, the VS get enough of this kind of press as it is.

:groovy:

I think sending you guys some beer is a great idea. I know some fan sent a keg to Red5 a little while ago. Of course, they were already in beta at the time, and the fan was sending it as a bribe to get in. I'm not saying bribes are a good thing because that could be considered unethical. I'm just merely stating that if a particular game is in beta then there is a possibility of beers coming to said developers. ;)

[SniperSteve]

Yes, they still make BAWLS.

Speaking of which, I'm not saying I'd be so unethical as to bribe my way into beta, but I certainly wouldn't judge the devs harshly for accepting a bribe to let me into beta.

Just letting you know devs, you know, in case you were worried I would think ill of it.

On an entirely unrelated note, what sort of things would you guys not be bribed by? Beer is a good one not to bribe with, right? Maybe some tickets to sporting events? Some high end schwag? A box of Cubans? What about straight up cash?

I'm not writing any of this down or calling in any favors.

Does anyone happen to know how much a Kidney goes for on the black market?

[Graywolves]

We must appease our new Jar God!

well instead of sending it in the mail from far away, someone could just call a local liquor store, and buy it over the phone to be sent to your offices.

[FINALCUT]

O.K I scanned thru this thread in a hurry and saw something about someone raising Higby's nutsack. Lipstick on pigs,Purrfectstorm kissing someone or something and bottlecaps.

Remind me never to read a thread when I am in a hurry and have things to do. I may never be the same again with the images burned into my head by this thread.

I would totally send you guys some fine german beer, but it propably wouldnt even get into the US. :/

[Wargrim]

Unfortunately, sending us bottle caps will not help us get to Beta or Launch any faster.
Oh well, in that case we need to spend them elsewhere. :( How many bottle caps for a Turbo Plasma Rifle, hardened Power Armour and 500 Micro Fusion Cells?

[Synical]

God damn it, the VS get enough of this kind of press as it is.

:rofl:

[EVILPIG]

There is now a third payment option in the Station Store. Players may purchase Items or Premium Account Status in XP, Station Cash or Bottle Caps.

[Unforgiven]

while your at it, i wouldnt mind any either. Es ist eine Weile gewesen, da ich Haus gewesen bin.

Ummm as a joke hehe haha, what do you guys jokingly drink? As a joke of course? teehee ;)

It isn't illegal to send beer to your "friends"!

[Saand]

There are some german beers here in the states, I can find Warsteiner, Paulaner and Beck's there might be a bigger choice in more populated areas though. I'll send some Warsteiner if SOE allows it.


*was wuerde ich fuer ein dunkles andechser dopplebock geben... :drools:

[Pyreal]

Warsteiner is good.
Makes the pizza better.
