[Google Wave] OPEN TO ALL: invites no longer necessary!

midgetspy

Yeah if we manage to get an invite train here I'd love one as well!

Mojo_Jojo

Hmm. Half an hour past the time the BBC reported. I think we can call bullshit on their story

Edit: This seems to be one of team google wave agreeing that it'll happen tomorrow morningish.

BobCesca

If there are any invites going, I'm down to be on the conga line.

I have been horribly excited about this for ages.

Nightslyr

I'll take an invite, if they exist and anyone has an extra when they come out.

Vladimer

throwing myself at the mercy of the lucky for an invite, also

been super excited for Google Wave since the I/O presentation.

clsCorwin

Consider me in the conga line as well. This looks awesome.

MKR

An invite would be somewhat awesome.

Nostregar

I want an invite so goddamn hard.

Shorn Scrotum Man

God, I totally want in on this shit.

mantis23

This looks amazing...consider me added to the invite conga line if it ever happens.

Mr_Rose

Yah, OK; whilst it's fun seeing the thread at the top of the forum all the time, I'd rather not fill it up with "me too"s: Anyone with invites, PM me and anyone wanting an invite PM me with the address you want the invite sent to and I can keep a tally in the OP, first come first served style, OK?

And everyone who gets an invite ought to give at least one back if they themselves get invites with their account, but you guys already knew that.

[noparse]OP UPDATED:[/noparse]
Instructions are there, along with the list of applicants. I have added everyone who asked in the thread as well, but I don't have e-mil addresses for you yet, so please send me them so you can actually get the invite you want.

Sounds like invites are probably not going to be going out for several more hours -- the main Wave staff is based out of Sydney and (understandably) want to be awake when the influx of new users come in. (It's currently ~4:30 AM down there.)

You can link to specific tweets by clicking the "x hours ago from y" link.

Yeah, I know, but it's the first one on there, and the username/etc about that account don't look especially trustworthy unless you can see the post history.

Zetx

Looks like I didn't get invited

Sorry for the double PMs, Mr_Rose!

[edit] I'm a terrible reader. Looks like I don't know if I have an in yet. Ugh.

Mike Danger

Maybe "Invites Tonight (US Time)" or something in the thread title?

Good idea.

Shit, that's midnight here. I may well be asleep at that time. Uh, you guys can wait a few hours without ripping a dude apart, right?

..right?

Mr_Rose

OK, I'm shutting down for the night; hopefully I will wake up to an Inbox full of Heroes so we can get started on clearing that list of deadbeats.
Good luck everyone!

jonxp

Yeah, they gave no timetable for these invites. I imagine any time in the next nine hours is fair game.

And maybe some zeroes will be heroes!

UEAKCrash

I really want to try out some D&D with my buddies on this.

Zetx

RT @twephanie: Wave invites starting ... will take many many many many hours to get them all out!

:3

MKR

Supposedly everyone gets 8 invites, so that ends up being 800,000. With gmail, every account made with an invite got half, so we'll say 4. That's 800,000*4, or 3,200,000 for a total of 4,100,000.

If the 8 invites thing is true, 4 of mine are going to my D&D group.

Blake T

If there are a few invites rolling around it would be peachy if I could have one.

I second this if possible. I am kinda sad I didn't get invited though. I've been through gmail since the early stages and signed up for wave early on (I thought)

Shorn Scrotum Man

You guys should really check the OP and send a PM through the appropriate channels to get put on the list with the rest of us moochers.

MKR

TWB people will be getting my invites, so I've opted out of the conga line.

theSquid

They'd better pull through for a fellow Aussie *shakes fist*

jonxp

All the invites aren't out yet. It sounds like it's going to take them all day, so if you haven't gotten one yet, don't assume you didn't make the cut.

Lewisham

Hey guys,
You know I'd love an invite...

:winky:

I don't have a D&D group but I've always wanted to play and this looks like it would make playing over the internet much easier.

It almost seems like it was designed for playing tabletop games with friends over the internet.

For that, and many other reasons, I cannot wait for Wave.

Raiden333

I just saw this thread, first I've ever heard of Google Wave, and watched the whole video.

Holy shit, please add me to the invite beggars list. I can give all but one of my invites back to PA people, I only have one friend interested in it.

theSquid

Yeah I will follow Raiden333's philosophy. If I get an invite from a PA member I'll give all my invites to PA members.

Lucky Cynic

Ditto!

Cokebotle

I'm curious to try this out as well. Wish I had signed up for the beta.

I'd also be willing to give back all my invites to PA people.

Mojo_Jojo

From looking at twitter there seem to be invites out there, but it's not really a hard confirmation and could just be people attention whoring.
