A few people have a copy of a horrendously old, out-dated, nothing-like-EV3 version of it. It's like having a house with no walls, heat, or bathroom. It's largely useless.

A very few people have an incredibly out-dated, extremely unfinished version of it from a year ago, long before Ambrosia was in the picture. The differences are night and day.
No one except ATMOS, Ambrosia, and Matt Burch has EV3 -- not a single solitary soul.

We don't want to issue screenshots showing parts of the game that are unfinished -- it's a good bit easier to show finished artwork pictures than it is to take a screenshot of the game during play, because some of the graphics in the gameplay may not be finished.
We'll issue gameplay screenshots when the game is far enough along to warrant it, don't worry.

The only guarantee is that if you shamelessly beg, you are guaranteed not to get a spot.
Seriously though, I say we cut them some slack. Few companies, even shareware ones, would go so far in accomodating the masses voracious appetite for "sneak peeks". The more people ask them " Can you do this?, " or " Can I see that ", the more time they spend here telling people "No". And the longer it will take for them to do whatever it was you were asking them to.
I'll make an exception for plug-makers, but for the most part, it's kinda like the movies. What happens to the white-knuckled anticipation that comes from being kept just a wee bit in the dark? The element of suprise, if you will. They do still have that right, don't they?

I believe you missed my point. You aren't going to get on the beta test by pestering them on the board, just stalk the sign up area, it's your only chance.

Not quite your only chance.
Boy, there's nothing like turgid secrecy and leadingly vague statements to fan the flames of beta hunger... Unless I'm sorrowfully mistaken, there's probably little most people can do right now but wait. I'm reasonably sure that text-based begging isn't going to get you very far. Besides, it's not too hard to wait, particularly since Ambrosia has been ever-so-kindly supportive of speculation (EV3 Web Board). Consider that a lot of companies wouldn't give any tangible information, let alone an active web board.
