To quote a conversation about this on IRC about how much information there is about Empire:
09:48 < workmica> yes. They've given us the pancake base. 09:48 < workmica> the pizza base even. 09:48 < Bluebottle> and so far we know "it's a pizza" and perhaps "it may look circular" and "it has a crust" 09:49 < Bluebottle> I am trying to squash people's hopes and dreams and wild speculation on here in the hope that three months down the line nobody will be going "oh my god I thought this game would have PEPPERONI it doesn't have ANY MEAT WHATSOEVER OH MY GOD PD why do you even call yourselves PIZZA DECISIONS" 09:51 < Bluebottle> (especially if all the design blog says is "we're planning to go for a tomato base, there may be a variety of cheeses, toppings may include peppers and pineapple and mushrooms and also other things, and maybe even a hint of garlic sauce if you go looking for it" and just happened to say nothing about meat :) 09:52 < workmica> people will see peppers and read pepperoni, then complain that they were promised
( ... )
E2A - and the next person to say "german level of kit" gets me kicking their head in while dressed in my "english level of kit" while we show them photos of the less than good kit at some german events and ask them when the UK govt will give them 120k to run an event...
Should I take that as implying you don't want an invitation to our hard-core 15th-century High Elf group then? ;-P
Relax, people just got shown a new shiny, of course they're trying to figure out what it does. How many times have we wasted endless hours in speculation over something that turned out to be COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from what we planned? ;)
Okay, so I only read the first page or two on R7 but it seems to be mostly tongue-in-cheek to me of the sort where an event froth thread would start a day or two the event congratulating PD on their awesome flying monkey kit.
I assume that some people started taking the flying monkey "information" seriously and started objecting?
The event flyer detail on Empire is what is on the website. The "end of maelstrom" piece is not on the website yet, but you have all the new events details publically avalable already :)

09:49 < Bluebottle> I am trying to squash people's hopes and dreams and wild speculation on here in the hope that three months down the line nobody will be going "oh my god I thought this game would have PEPPERONI it doesn't have ANY MEAT WHATSOEVER OH MY GOD PD why do you even call yourselves PIZZA DECISIONS"

They will be poking the metaphysics next! And wanting to buy, make and wear shiny things! And hats!
I'm expecting someone to run Not-Empire, made of all the wild speculations that were really far of the mark when it eventually starts.

I have however heard the "going up against LT and CP finally" one a few times from a few different people.
