D&D 4E Are you a 4e playtester?

[helium3]

I've signed three NDAs in recent memory that absolutely forbade releasing the information of any company documents, including company NDA agreements.

Well then how would you go about having your lawyer look at an NDA to make sure it's not unreasonable? Generally speaking, before you sign an NDA you're supposed to be able to let your lawyer look at it. Obviously, most 4E playtesters aren't going to bother with that step, but the step needs to be there.

For two reasons:

1) If you haven't signed it, you're not bound by it.

2) Client-lawyer priviege extends that far and is not overrideen by the terms of a contract.

I would have expected a bit more humour in the poll responses...

It actually states in the NDA of WotC
"You may not even vote in an online poll to say you are a play tester or not, especially if the entity known as ENwolrd.com ever has such a poll."

Apparently they were pretty thorough.

Not playtesting, was not asked to playtest. Though I am opposed to 4e, I would still have playtested it given the chance.

123 RPGA player points and 53 DM points to date (a pretty small number since I only joined in August 2006).

How many player points does it take to win?

Actually, it states in my copy of the NDA:

"You may not vote in any online poll querying whether you are a play tester."

If you are going to quote the NDA, at least get it accurate. It says nothing about ENWorld at all.

I am!!

Edit: Never mind. I'm not anymore. (jk)

Nice

However, the polls state "this poll will be displayed publicly" before you vote when that option is taken. Unless ENWorld has some major hacking you can't retroactively change it.

On the other hand: You cannot vote on a poll twice, right? Therefore, the system tracks users internally - the administrator can sure access that internal database, since this information is stored somewhere (even if he perhaps has to hack into it a bit).

Cheers, LT.

And again I will say: To those who are playtesters....Your BASTARDS. Yep I'm sour about not beingv chosen
