that's what they said.... that's why i didn't say anything.... right now, i'm hoping that all of you people who flooded the server caused enough of a flood that they will just ignore them.... (more chance for me ;) )

in case you care, here's the message that was sent to people who asked them about beta testing really early...
This message is going out to everyone who sent us mail asking about beta testing the Linux version of Civilization: Call to Power. We're going to keep your information and contact you once we've announced the beta test signup sometime in February. Civ should go beta in late February or early March. There will probably be 25 beta testers, and we'll need both Intel and PPC users in that group.
