LGMB Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 Soldiers, The population of this furom is close to 7,000. That makes it 4,000 larger then the town I live in (which by the way, is a suburb of Vancouver, BC {well its in the sound, for any of you Vancouverits}). Doesn't that creep you out? Ohyah: Does anyone here still have the demo? Or still have the demo, and not the game? On average how many times a day do you fantasises about CM2? (Never for me) Do you feel asthough Charles and Steve are now your gods? They appear sometimes, and bring with them great wisdom.... and the as soon as they post, thousands gather, hoping to be recignized by thier new gods... That reminds me: I hope I did not offend my lords by posting this message... I beg that you do not smite it/me... Isn't it odd how Steve and Charles post less and less, and Matt has become the number one locker? He is like an Avatar fort he gods.... (Where does this put Dan? We already know that Fioin would be soem underworldy creature of some kind.... hehe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 Aren't the scenarios from the demo right on the CD? If you have the game, you have the demo. I wondered why you talk the way you do; should have guessed that you're from British California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sometimes pondered whether he might not be an alien impersonating a human being, based on what he had seen on syndicated sitcom broadcasts from the '50s.

109 Gustav Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 I still have the beta demo and demo on my computer. The beta always messes up the preferences for CM, so I don't play it very often anymore. I was also the second to last person to buy the game after playing the beta. Ended up waiting until mid October of last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commissar Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 What's even more exciting is the realization that many CM players aren't even registered on these forums! Also, try multiplying 7000 by 45. No wonder BTS was happy about this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the significance of that number? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted November 7, 2001 Share Posted November 7, 2001 $45 is the cost to buy the game. While I am sure that more than 7,000 copies were sold, I am also sure that there are not 7,000 forum members. Some people register with more than one name, sometime with many names. Some are forced to re-register when the forum crashes. In addition, it is possible for people to register with the forum and never buy the game, but those people are weird. Maybe not as weird as the rest of us, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking about mostly the people who got banned or wanted to agree with their own posts for whatever strange reason. <blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Pvt.

If those "lost" accounts do, then yeah, there are a few hundred less people then there are accounts. <blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Pvt.

In other words, Steve and Charles are now rolling in dough and can afford to market CMBB at $15 a pop. Cool! I think I can afford that.

Michael<hr></blockquote> Estimating how many people are not registered with this forum, one can get a picture of something like 10,000 copies sold (at a minimum), which ammounts to a nice half a mil. Of course, spending for CM2 and paying off debts for CM1 probably takes a chunk out of that ammount. I wonder what sort of day jobs Steve and Charles have?
