I was rejected as a beta tester from First-Racing. Now I hang myhead in shame.

I just got my email telling me I am not a beta tester for First-Racing
at this time. My buddy, whom I told about the application, he got in,
but me...nope. I think I may have been to glib in my application. Ah
well, I am still going to buy there game, although they have shown me no
love.

Join the club... I guess you must some previous connections to be
considered. I wasn't expecting too much when I signed up, but it is a
bit disappoiting considering how long I've been sim racing.

Me too. Maybe it was all a cruel joke, eh?

Another "me too -er" here. I guess the fact that I've done every racing sim
since the dawn of time was a bad thing?? ;-) Maybe I should have only
listed a couple sims...

Me thinks they just didn't want drivers with opinions on racing sims...
(they rejected me too, *******s!! <g>).

And me, with all the ranks I've done and maintain(ed) listed in my
application! How could they??? I thought I'd see maybe a little thanks
for gplrank, but now. Cruel world ;-)

Cheers,

You see that is just the thing.
My buddy is not well connected. At least I don't think so. He did do
some minor work for a flight sim, but I have been a beta tester for
other titles in the past.
I think they are just being mean. Perhaps they are picking names at
random. Or letting a monkey, or some other lower form of animal life
pick the names from a bag of kibble. Who knows?

No Steve, perhaps we're too old? I got the rejection last night.
Christ, I can't even get a job that pays nothing LOL. Downsized out of
a beta testing job. I beta tested Nascar Racing and Indy Racing II.
I think it was my disdane for Nascar and preference for open wheel in
my application that did me in. Or maybe it was the letter I wrote Mr
Kaemmer years ago about their beta testing methodology or lack thereof
..... Game development and business system development operate in
separate universes as far as I can see.

Oh well, perhaps, they'll produce a good product but the ISI thing is
looking pretty sweet.
