Forumgame where you release your imagination. Just for fun and to pass time until next release is done  
Rules: You state why the previous posters releasedate-guess is wrong, and then proceed to state your own guess and reason for guessing so.

*going first*

I state that the game will be released at friday the 5th (5 days from now). Because the dwarves will probably be tired from all the testing by then, and will demand release! Dwarf Strike is on the way  

[Pnx]

Ok so I say that since the dwarves must perform what they are told to do I'm saying that's wrong. They do complain by sleeping and stuff but still. (it is called "Slaves to Armok" after all)

I'm guessing October the 10th because the world would explode if it is released any later!

Well the world WOULD explode except that before then it will suffer an inflate error -3.  No inflation, no explodation.

I am guessing it will come out on October 29th.  With roughly 12 tasks completed per day and roughly 360 more tasks to go, it will take approximately 30 more days.

The game will be released much ealier than October 29th, otherwise an angry mob of "0/\/\fg ju57 r313453!!!1111" guys will storm Today's house and kill him, and by October 29th it would probably be everyone in this forum.
I say next monday, so all dwarves from all cultures get a day off before the release.

Two weeks.

[BurnedToast]

it won't be released in 2 weeks because Toady will drop dead from a bizzare accident involving a hoary marmot, an elephant, and a !!+steel plate armor+!!.

It will never be released because the next release task list will read:

NEXT RELEASE TASK LIST:  Any numbers in parentheses are just counters for me.  Lower is better.

   update zlib code

   TESTING:
      handle testing notes (1)
      tests (1)

at the time of the accident.

Going by the current rate of testing, between 9 and 14 days.

[Sowelu]

Errg.  I hate that I'm actually guessing on this.    Put me down for October 20th.  I don't think that these testing notes are all the work that needs to be done for testing:  There's always, always room for a full playthrough or two to catch any more show-stoppers.  Well, full enough.

I bet 16 october, pro evo 2008 release date, so I need to make hard decision. Dwarf fortress or Pro Evolution 2008? Ack. I am brazilian after all...  

[Funkadelic Jive Turkey]

Nite, I think the real decision here is how much do you like your girlfriend? Or boy\best friend, whomever it may be that winds up devouring a large chunk of your free time.

[Zemat]

It won't be the 16th. Because there are 18 tests left (the testing notes don't count because they are linked to the actual tests I guess). So far Toady has completed one test for day with some exceptions. And I guess Toady is going to left the harder tests for last.

So I guess the release will be the 19th given that he'll probably take two or three days for some tests but some days he'll be able to complete two o three together. So it will balance out more or less in the end.

My guess is October the 10th. That's at a rate of about 30 notes and 2 tests per day. Then an additional day or two for some last minute testing.

[Nukeitall]

I'll guess and say the 5th or the 6th, at worst.

[Asehujiko]

22th here.
