    oki pvp-master alias bug-master is here :D
    i am lazy to post email so sorry i post it here
    Bugs just posted on the forums instead of mailed in to the bugtracker email address nwbugs@bioware.com in the correct format are usually not considered by the development team.

    Stanley Woo, Quality Assurance

    Do you cheat?
    When doing certain test passes, I have to cheat if I want to finish the test in a reasonable amount of time. I never cheat when doing balance testing or timing a playthrough, but if all I'm doing is critical path, then cheating is sometimes necessary. Do I use cheats when actually playing the game? Exceedingly rarely, since part of the fun is in seeing what your character can do (or not do).

    30 Nov 2005 - The Contest That Might Become Your Career
    In case you haven't seen it, the contest submission details have been outlined. Submission details for money to QA ninjas are still being worked out, mostly to keep the money away from Priestly.

    More:
    Quote: From the Submission Details:
    Write your BioWare Community Name, module title, and current e-mail address in the top left corner of the PSA. (View example.)
    But the example shows the personal information to be on the top right corner of the PSA! Will putting my name on the wrong corner get my submission thrown out?
    Worse yet, it'll get your submission thrown to Priestly.

    Quote: What if a scaring childhood memory involving a duck has rendered me incapable of telling my left from my right?
    Have friends nad family put your socks and shoes on you. Also, you'll have to learn to jump into your pants with both feet at the same time.
    Quote: Should it be in pencil, pen, or human blood?
    Bonus gold stars if it's in all three.
    Quote: Does the brief summary/description count against my word count?
    Yes, as does the BioWare Community Name, module title, and current e-mail address you include. Also, anything you say while sending in your submission counts; we'll be listening. Come to think of it, anything upon your person that contains words, such as identification, money, coupons, brand names, inscriptions, and notes to yourself, will also be included in the word count. We're meanies.
    Quote: Help!
    No! Who do I look like, Kevin Barrett? He's the helpful one! :p

    11 Jan 2006 - BioWare's Kevin Barrett Answers Buckets of Contest Questions
    What do you mean by saying "dialogue should be limited to 2-3 lines at a time"?
    Having an entire dissertation on the nature of life, love, and llamas in a single dialogue node is unwieldy and hard to read. It's preferable to keep dialogue nodes simple and clean. Even this paragraph I'm writing is getting a little long, so try to keep individual nodes short.

    This paragraph is much shorter and easier to read. Keeping your dialogue nodes short is preferable. You have been eaten by a grue.
