Just for fun and to bring some positive vibes (I hope) to the forum.
Pick the day, month and year that the PU is released to the masses and no further wipes occur (I believe that the PU is up but is basically skeletal and in closed alpha testing. I reserve the right to alter this contest/ edit this post if I am wrong or lacking information).
No two people can use the same date.
The person who is closest will receive a $10 Steam Gift Card from me or $10 or less game from Steam. Or even $10 to their SC account if that is possible.
Once the contest is entered via replying to this forum post, the post may not be edited.
Only accounts that are at least 4 months old and have at least 100 posts are eligible.
An account that gets banned becomes ineligible.
So: My guess is going to be:
April 15th, 2018.
Good luck to anyone who chooses to participate and Happy Holidays to you all!

I reckon June 2020
never
When you have cake, it is not the cake that creates the most magnificent of experiences, but it is the emotions attached to it.
The cake is a lie.
I am gonna buy a beer to each member of MMORPG.com if the game gets released in 2017.
This is actually the truth. It's going to be exactly like Shroud of the Avatar, but with improved fidelity.
Can my great grand children claim the price on June 2087?
So I'm going to guess early access on April 1, 2018 and "going gold" as in "This is it... we're finished" on April 1, 2025.

Released with 40% of promised features and assets in game? Maybe late 2018. November 7th.
Edit: I know this may take me out of the contest, but actual "Gold", sometime in 2023, assuming CR and co haven't fled to a private island by then.
But if I have to make a guess, I'll say that they'll eek something out by Nov 2018.
Gold simply means: 1.0, the version of the game that is not any alpha or beta; gold does not mean or imply all stretch goals and everything SC was ever said to be and going to have, to be in by the stable version of the game.
As you certainly all know, MMO's only stop being developed upon when they die (pretty much); Gold shall never mean the fully realization of the game, as it doesn't on any well-populated MMO, what is something rather unique to the genre.
In fact, most games don't ever tell you what the end state is supposed to look like. When the next Assassin's Creed comes out, you'll never know what planned features didn't make it because single player developers are usually not dumb enough to lay their plans bare. So it's doubly imperative that Star Citizen "goes gold" with everything they've listed because they actually made a list of what the finished game looks like. We have a litmus test available to hold up next to the final product and say "Yep, that's what they said the finished product would look like!"
If only FunCom had been able to sell the playerbase on this ideology in 2008 when they released a game with half the planned features missing. Everyone and their mother lined up to remind all involved that MMO's are always in development and that the missing content was coming.... hell no they didn't.
The game was roundly lambasted as being the worst disaster since the Hindenburg, and you might well remember that when they decided to drop Star Citizen with 40% of it's content realized. It will not go down in the press the way that you're apologizing for it in your mind.
Yes, MMO's are always in development after release. They need to produce more content in order to keep their players interested and spending money. If you're focusing instead on stretch goals and spaceships that you sold years earlier, then you're not working on additional content. Playing catch-up is absolutely 100% not the same as continuing development. Especially since people already paid for that content.
You are in for a very long wait.......
