Greetings Golarion!
GobboCast is doing its best to provide the Pathfinder Online Community with the latest and greatest from all aspects of the CrowdForge Experience!
We've got Land Rush Interviews (Check!), We've got Developer Interviews (Double Check!), We've got Alpha Tester Reviews (Uhh...),
*Tiny Coffee Golem runs up, whispers something in Gobbo's ear*
Check that, we NEED Alpha Tester Reviews!
If you have played in the Pathfinder Online Alpha, and plan on playing up until Early Enrollment, we need your help!
GobboCast would like a chance to provide your opinions, your experiences and your screenshots/videos to the greater Pathfinder Online Community! We need all sorts; those who don't mind conducting a PodCast Interview, those who would rather provide a Blog for addition to Gobbocast Website, or just the pleasure of hosting your pictures and videos!
It's easy to join the GobboCast Team; simply email us at Gobbocast @ gmail.com, reply to this thread, or send a message to Harad or Krow.

Morbis, consider your happy/stabby time on my list of interviews; I appreciate it greatly.
Nihimon, I think that is an excellent idea. The last Community Round Table went splendidly (if I do say so myself!), and I think a select table of Alpha testers offering their unique perspectives in a chat setting would lend itself perfectly to this environment.
The Team has discussed conducting the interview (or in this case a Community Round Table) after this next round of Alpha; as I understand it, the server will be open all 4th of July weekend, and having some sort of get together within the days following (while it's still fresh in your minds) may be the best time.
We are certainly open to suggestions about timing, but does anyone see any issue with the week following (7 - 11 July)?

We could also think about the week after, 14 - 18 July if that week causes too much trouble!
I would like to get an 'Initial Thoughts' Round Table done, and then, in a few weeks as we have the end of the Land Rush, a repeat of that Round Table, to see where the game is headed and how you all think the game is progressing.

I won't be in this weekend's Alpha because I'll be at PaizoCon. However, I'm sure there are a number of other folks in the Alpha who could provide their feedback.
Would it make sense to do a "First Impressions" Round Table with the folks who've been in the first two weeks of Alpha, and a follow-up Round Table after a couple more weeks of Alpha? Those in the second Round Table would have quite a bit more experience by then, as well as having time to absorb what was discussed in the first Round Table so as not to go over the same ground again.
[Edit] Heh, reading the rest of the thread, I see you've already answered that question :)

We're on the same page! I would rather prefer to do this sometime next week; I fear if we wait too long, that 'first impressions' will be lost as you fine alphalites (alphanians? alphers?) dig deeper into the game, and as GoblinWorks responds with new updates and improvements to Pathfinder Online.

Thank you Kitsune! Of the two date ranges named above (7-11 and 14-18 July), which works best for you?
I think either would work for me. It might be a better idea to have it sooner rather than later, for the reasons of "freshness" mentioned above. I already have some opinions formulated, but most of them were muddled with frustration for AMD's recent processor descriptions.
Friday the 11th might be tabletop night, so I'm not 100% sure on availability that night, but I'm 100% confident my adventure-mates would approve of the delay of game, if any.
I'm usually available in the evenings after 5-or-so MST (GMT -7, no DST).
Suggest a simple 'alpha' for the singular. Or 'alpha tester'.
Shouldn't 'Alphas' suffice for plural?
"Alphas" sound fine, but might make us sound a bit egotistical. ;)

So let's say we shoot for the Thursday - Sunday of that week; 10 - 13 July.
Uhm... unless you want me distracted from playing Alpha, you might want to shoot for a night the Alpha server's not open. If Wednesday works, that might be best. They also might not leave the server up all weekend, so Sunday would probably be good too.
Truth be told, though, I can likely work around any schedule you need.
