Three times they invaded, each time with increasingly devious plans. Squawks, feathers flying, the smell of charred chicken everywhere. With a greasy finger I set my lasers to "extra crispy" and blasted off to intercept the fowl invaders. I dropped my half-eaten chicken burger and jumped in my cockpit. Invading intergalactic chickens, out to punish humanity for our oppression of their earthly brethren. They came without warning, squawking menacingly, their ruffled feathers darkening the sun.

Cluck of the Dark Side has 175 unanonymous testers, or technically 176 unanonymous testers because there was one person who applied as two. Ultimate Omelette had three times as many unanonymous testers, with each team, assuming the positions were distributed evenly, having as many testers as Revenge of the Yolk's team. Based on the size of the whole team, it probably wasn't divided into beta teams like later games. Revenge of the Yolk had 44 unanonymous testers.
