Calling for beta testers!

I've been working on a lovely little application for your PDAs. Are you tired of constantly checking the forums and networks to see if your friends won their fights? Want to check who your friend has vowed to, and if they've recently checked into the infirmary? There's an app for that!

Well, mostly. It's still a bit buggy, and doesn't have the fastest update time, but that's why I am seeking beta testers! I've decided to open six slots to players who are extremely active in the game. I need people who will use the program, and are willing to submit reports letting me know about crashes or other bugs that might come up.

Signing up will be first-come-first-served, with three slots open to each campus. The Beta is free, and upgrade to the official release will be at a 50% discount.

Fortitude:

1. Jade Harley
2. Shion
3.  

Conquest:

1. Lemina Ausa
2. Flynn Scifo
3.  

I should probably write up some kind of EULA, but let it be known if anything happens to your PDA because of the program, I am not accountable. I'm also not accountable for what's done with the information, but I reserve the right to revoke program access without refund if I determine the information is being misused. All in all, I don't think there should be problems with the first part at least.

Features:
 

• Check status of residents (Player, vowed and with whom, discard)
• Check battle history
• Be informed real-time about starts of battles.
• Option to have changes in a weapon's status, battle starts, and/or battle results sent as notifications to your PDA

Features to come in future updates:

• Lists of upgrades unlocked for each person
• Linked partners, players with undead charms

((OOC: The program is going to have a bit of a lag, about 5 minutes between battle start and the actual notifications, and the same thing for the rest of the information. It'll crash every so often, especially during something like a tournament where there will be a lot of information changing. This will improve with time. When it comes out of Beta, the people who have it from this post will still have service for a round before they need to purchase the new release, though they get it at half off.))

Did you say discount? Count me in!

What exactly is a beta tester though?

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Basically you use the program, and if anything goes wrong you report it in great detail. I included in the beta packages a crash reporter, but more minor bugs I'll need specific information like what you were doing, were you were when this happened, what time it was, and as much information on what happened as possible. I also need the people to be very active in the game and fighting aspect of Rakuen.

Do you think you can do that?

[pennypincher]

Sure, I guess so. I'm a Weapon right now if that's a problem, but I think my player's gonna fight a lot this round.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Shouldn't be a problem, so long as you're using it to check on things. I'd love to hear feed-back on how to make it more useful for weapons too.

[pennypincher]

Okay, then count me in.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Sure! I just need your name, dorm, and where you want to meet for me to install the app!

[pennypincher]

I'm Lemina Ausa, Red 2-A, and I guess anywhere? Maybe somewhere in town I guess?

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

We can meet by the Arena, I guess? And is that Fortitude or Conquest?

[pennypincher]

Um, Fortitude doesn't have a red dorm? And okay, that works.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Oh, you're right. I'm still not used to the dorms here. So, uh, just give me a time.

[greenspaces]

i think i can manage to buy a new pda if it crashes hehe
can i have one?
i would like to try it

im in fortitude!

[savedbyasong]

You finished it! I'd love to be a Beta tester Alex.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

You got it!

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Make sure to use it a lot this round! Maybe you can even use it to find six weapons to vow with and win!

[savedbyasong]

I will make sure to, and hopefully, winning a round would be good; we could get enough raks to afford you a memory!

[He did remember he was supposed to not want to fight, but since he was here and this seemed like the only way out...]

[whitestknight]

I would be happy to help with such a useful application.

[greenspaces]

how did you do this?
it all seems really complicated and cool :o

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

That would be sweet. I'll pay you back once I release this and see if I can get some raks off of it. I'll be asking Recette if she will stock copies for me.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Great! I'd be glad for your help!

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

It was a bit hard. I couldn't hack the game itself, so it made it a lot harder to get the info I needed to make it all work.

Computers are just my thing. I think I understand them better than people, by a long shot.

[greenspaces]

that is soooo cooool.....
i wish i was good with computers like that!
can you teach me?

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Sure! You should come to my classes! I can catch you up on whatever you've missed since I started teaching!

[greenspaces]

are people in fortitude allowed to come to conquest classes?
:o

[savedbyasong]

Don't worry about it, you don't need to pay me back.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

I know I don't have to, but I want to.

[savedbyasong]

Well... only if you can afford it...

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

I'm sure I could afford to pay you back once I release this. Besides, I got a weekend job too.

[savedbyasong]

Oh. Where are you working?

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

A computer repair store!

[savedbyasong]

You will be great at that!

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Yeah! Better at software than hardware, but I can manage both.

[savedbyasong]

I hope it all goes well.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Thanks!
