    I'd be all in honestly, but I think my wife would make me sleep in the barn with the horses.

    I would love to join in, but then my wife would equip her +10 power stave and cast fireball at my face.

    I agree with you lot. It's hard to commit to a quest as epic as this without knowing the exact ending date. If Kilsin could so kindly tell us the day when we can expect to shave our beards, then we could all check with our wives to see if we are allowed to participate...

    I have to shave for work, but I could grow a mustache, I suppose.

    I can't do it... I would love to do it, but I just can't.  Every November I plan to treat as No-Shave-ember to bring awareness to Men's Health Issues such as testicular cancer, but I can't make it through the whole month.  Three weeks in and I am snapping at everyone around me because my face just feels... wrong.

    This will only work if the beard length of our characters in game correspond to our growth while waiting.

    Group lfm, 5"+ beard required.

    Nay to this. My beard groes so fast I would be tripping over it by Alpha. Besides, my face is aweful itchy with 3 days of growth. That is about all I can stand before shaving it off. But-- being a little long in the tooth- so to speak- My facial hair, as well as my head is a bit snowy now.

    I do however sport a nice mustache. The Wilfred Brimley type and have had it for over 40 years now.  Will that count??

    Now, we need a DEV to commit to the cause.

    Well being that I don't have a beard (can't grow one sorry :D)  I could participate by not shaving my legs....on second thought probably not.   May the best hairy person win.  hehehe

    Honestly... seeing as how much of a struggle even getting something like the screenshots posted to the site is we aren't worried about delaying lol.... I'm sure in 2018 we VIPs will have our access :) until then I expect nothing but lots of beards...

    Saicred, The picture upload does not work. You have to post the picture somewhere on the Internet, let Twitter or Facebook. Copy it, then use the identical button next to the upload one.

    At least that's how I figured it out.

    Well Thank you but... I was referring to Brad's Tweet from a few days ago about finally uploading screenshots from the stream back in early Dec. to the site by the first of the year. Regardless it's of no concern to anyone but me and just frustrating is all. I wouldn't even be looking on the site for updates every day, as I know this development takes time, if it hadn't been for the public broadcast with the time stamp on it... anyways back on topic :) - Good luck with this! Looking forward to seeing the outcomes from everyone!
