Clearly not posted.

 

Was there some promise that it would be posted by this time today?

I believe there are supposed to be at least 16 question marks in the summon developer incantation.  That would explain why it didn't work.

No, another developer shard was required. He also needed someone with "development level III" and the "summon developer" spell, which the OP clearly did not have.

16 question marks, 5 exclamation points, and a single "1" thrown in by accident.  That's if we follow the Codex, and who doesn't admire tradition?

I always knew paying close attention to punctuation mattered, but now that we know it's used in "Summon Developer", we'll pay extra special attention.

Guess we'll just have to cast "Move Time Forward by 1 Week". How much punctuation is required for that?????1! (see what I did there?)

Horror !        Oh, the horror ... Scared the stuffing out of me, until I got down to this bullet:

+ Player's sovereign now named "Randolph". This is the player's character in all games now to simplify game setup

 

Only then,        I decided, this must be an Evil Joke ... This is a joke, right ?????!!!!!?????   

(It has been a long day for me ... one made worse by Microsoft, which tends to warp my judgement ...) 

(Also, the "push-back" (of the release date) to Sept 20, further "set me up" ...)

...so, no word yet on the migration to having the AI play Randolph for me to improve AI performance by removing human unpredictability?  We've been asking for this since pre-alpha.

Of course, I should also be caReful about making jokes like these, from what I've seen, people will take this stuff literally.

New update probably not coming today or this week then, Brad? Guess you won't release anything on a friday.

By the way, love the Frog's humour. His changelog posted here was legendary.
