Okay, mir war langweilig und ich habe den Beitrag von Harry jetzt doch noch rausgesucht. Das Original findet sich hier: http://talk.consimworld.com/WebX?13@111.12fYav8FR6Z.794080@.1dcdf8ef/445
Der entscheidende Teil:
8 weeks ago we sub contracted the 7 Ages cards (the last item to be printed) to a foreign company on the recommendation of a game company we trusted, based on the foreign company's commitment to proof in one week and print in another. Thus the game SHOULD have been finished 6 weeks ago. As they also demanded $10,000 up front, we have tried to cajole them into hurrying up telling them about us having many anxious customers waiting for the game.
Finally we got sick of the broken promises and ditched them last week, not an easy decision due to the money we gave them. We may end up losing it, but we would rather lose it than you, our valued customers.
To ensure an end to this nonsense asap, we have now contracted two different printers to BOTH print the cards (5000 sets apiece, we are nothing if not optimistic) and whoever does the fastest, best job gets our long term business. These two companies have now given us a commitment that they will have the cards finished on or before October 9 (13 days away). Needless to say, we only need one company to come through to finish the game.
Das sollte die unterschiedlichen Angaben erklären.
