I am so psyched that's there's going to be another mazz. I absolutely love mazz5 and try to play it everyday, usually getting in more than 7 games/week. It's definately the best coop ever.

I'm wondering if I could become a beta tester for mazz6. I'm a solid enough player and i also play myth a lot and can usually be found on pmnet. My experience with mazz isn't just with mazz5, I also played mazz1 back when it was popular on TFL.

I dont know how many people in magma know me. In the beginning of 2000 I started playing the full version of TFL and went by Spider. After bnet went down I played TFL on mnet for the longest time as Spider Tank of ~TC~ and then Spider of PoRN. Last August I started playing m2 on pmnet and have been going by Autumn Demon.

Mazzarin's Demise has brought me so much joy and I really think that mazz6 will kick ass just like the ones that came before it have. Hopefully you guys could use some more testers for mazz6 because I would love to contribute what I can to the next best coop ever.

Autumn, I don't think we ever played all that much together, but I do remember you as Spider from Marius.net. And hey, I consider any member of either Tanks or Pirates automatically a friend of mine.

About Mazz VI testing... well, three things. First, I don't think we play at the same times of day that often. Since, with my style of testing, the only way I (or Jagman) get anything useful out of it is by being in the game, this could present a problem.

Second, we have all the testers we need right now. In fact, we sort of have more than we know what to do with.

Finally, and most importantly, a big part of what motivates me to work for six months on a plugin is the thought of people, like yourself, enjoying the final, polished and perfect product. The testing process, with all the flaws, bugs, crashes, imbalances, and just plain dumb mistakes, isn't something I'm proud of, or get excited to demonstrate.

I'm really glad you enjoy the Mazz series so much, and it's because of people enjoying it that I'm happily working on yet another. Having "fans" of the series to try and impress is the carrot on the stick that keeps me going. To stay motivated, I have to force myself not to eat that carrot too soon and sometimes that means turning down friends, which is never easy. I hope you understand and I also really hope we can catch a game of Mazz VI together once it is ready.

I pretty much expected you to have more than enough testers, the mazz series is just that good!
Thanks anyway. =)

Wow, now I'm even more excited for Mazz 6.
