The hope is that it will be an open thread in which Feargus will interact likely first with the Top Ten itself and then with the membership. As for your questions, do please add them to the sticky if you would like them considered. As for what happens next. Hopefully the same process will begin with a dev a/o another list for Feargus. There will likely be a pause between the two in order to learn from this process to make the next that much more enjoyable and smooth!

That sounds great - add it if you would like! Okay then ... I would like to let everyone know that we will be closing down the brainstorm by day's end and then the mod squad will collate the questions and come up with the Top Ten and I am hoping it will go live on Monday. @ the suggestion about opening this up to the devs, there is indeed interest from admin in adopting this great idea. We are working out what that will look like and I will keep you appraised as we proceed with the current Top Ten. So gecklings and gamers, if you have a burning (and constructive of course ) question for Feargus, get at it in the pinned thread Respectfully, Fionavar

Do you think we could move back to the topic at hand, or is this lovely love-in gonna spell D-E-R-A-I-L-M-E-N-T?

Well it would seem that we have arrived at a point where certain 'guidelines' have been ... ummm ... well breached ... Remember it's all fun and games 'til one geeky company feels offended by another geckling outift's fora that crosses the line of respect ... So here's me swooping from the Roost and feeling rather exhausted after ... FLoSd.ObE

I will take all of this under consideration as I break out the Scale Of SPAM and Infractions of Guidelines to augur the future of some of our recently posted material and, subsequently, their owners ... FLoSD.ObE

Well I believe that the world powers have determined that it's time to pack up the pillows and sleeping bags and move the troop back to the the big city ...

Welcome to derailment my friends ... PHun, eh? FLoSD.ObE

It could be a possibility. My hope is to first establish this feature and take the learnings from these and move on with other ideas. Thanks Soulseeker, it is a great idea!

I am firmly - and rather scaly - convinced that we have arrived at the point where the good sort of inertia has been beset by chaos ... FL0SD.Obe

Pershaps a question from this discussion might find its way into the Top Ten with Feargus list for consideration?

In discussions with Feargus, the hope is that with each finalised set of Top Ten, he will be intentional to contribute directly.

Thread Pruned: Remember post with something more constructive than a smiley or I may have to move from the Roost ...

I think the rephrase works, but adding the intent of the paragraph "How does Feargus ..." is provocative and adds depth to the challenging nature of the question Gorth. Do indeed add it.

Just a quick reminder that the thread will likely be closed in the next week - so for those question posed in the thread and not added to the sticky, please do feel free to add them there. If you would rather not, but would like them included, PM me and I'll do some c&p Fionavar

http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=40705 Does this help at all Joe? I am not sure if gifs are a problem for others ... well speak up you denizens ... If it is a gif issue, I'll definitely query admin. Better to see what the wisdom/experience of the community is first before recreating the wheel.

I'm not sure about an online store, but it would be interesting to know about the preorder option ... I'll go put a 'bee in a bonnet' for this one

Well rather than have our festive celebration derailed - we'll give one more 'Happy Birthday' and invite y'all back same time next year

Gorth do indeed add those to the pinned thread - they are very challenging and provoking questions.

Happy Birthday indeed to both kumquatq3 and Calax! Thanks for being a part of the community >_

Both questions - with their respective depth - both seem like useful additions to the pinned thread Tigranes. Please do add them if you are comfortable with the final format. Respectfully, Fionavar

Just a quick reminded. If you feel that your question is good to go - post it here: http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=41308. If you only post it here, it may not end up being considered as it is the questions in the stuck thread that will be considered for each final Top Ten.

It's okay - honest - be the first and you may also be the first person with the first question in the first Top Ten evah! Gon on you'll like it ...

When you feel that a question is refined and ready to be added for consideration for the prioritising stage in 4-7 days from now - then add it to the sticky above. My hope is this thread will serve to allow for discussion and perhaps as a filter not to repeat what may have already been added. Fenghuang - this question would be fine to add in the pinned thread, imo.

It is my hope that this thread will serve to allow the community to refine ideas/questions/inquiries and the like. One ideas you feel you're idea is ready to be added for consideration, please add it to the sticky here: The Top Ten. As I mentioned in the pinned thread, all of these discussions will be closely monitored to ensure that the they remain constructive and respectfully. Though I'm sure this need not be said - but rather than assume - failure to respect the hopes inherent for this new feature will result in censure. Okay not that the authoritarian stuff from the Roost is out of the way ... thanks and I am hopeful that this will become a rich addition to the fora here. Respectfully, Fionavar

Well here's a new feature that I hope will serve to continue to develop our community here in the corner of cyber known as Obsidian. As many of you can appreciate the owners and developers are often really quite busy making games and such! With this tension in mind, I have received many PMs wondering about the Big Cheese and where he has gotten himself off to This got me to thinking and after bouncing ideas around with Feargus and the mod squad, we have arrived at a new feature: The Top Ten ... So here is how it will work: 1) A thread will be stuck in Obs Gen that will encourage the community to post questions/items that you would like Feargus to address. As a suggestion, I would offer that the question should be as succinct and pithy as possible - a suggested format would be: 2) This thread will remain open for 4-7 days. As this process proceeds, it should be understood that this particular feature will be keenly watched for SPAM and trolling. Though we moderate these fora with a high level of tolerance
