Hope I'll be home before i't over. Fridays are travel days.

[Gramphos]

If there are no delays I should be home within 30 minutes from the start.

[Jon Shafer]

I guess we'll find out the true damage as far as the editor goes soon then.

[Inverse Icarus]

perhaps the name we_need_multiplayer_you_idiots will be more acceptable now?

i have class until 4 on fridays, so i may be a little late...

are you planning on doing the questions alphabetically again? should i come in as Babylonian again?

[Gramphos]

Uber, you should take one name and stay to it.

but its not fair to people who have names like Uber KruX, Thrawn, or Trip if you go alphabetically each time. I usually fake a name and ask people's questions for them.

start backwards this time

Well, you have choosen that name yourself. And my name no linger starts with a v

And it's up to Markos in what order the users speak.

[alva]

Is it going to be moderated? Please say yes

[MarkG]

as always this will depend on how well people will behave

[alva]

so let's see:

5 min of pure chaos, followed by 20 min of decent coherent moderated informative discussion, followed by 5min of pure chaos, followed..........

Wouldn't it be better to post some q's here, so you can ask them Marc?? At least a few, so we don't get endless repetitions of the same question?

[MarkG]

usually we have 70% of moderated discussion followed with unmoderated

the "groups of 5" method has worked well too

Wouldn't it be better to post some q's here, so you can ask them Marc??

sure, go ahead

[Cesa]

Since I probably won't make it to the chat I hope someone can ask this for me:

-When you develop the game you have an option to start an AI-only game (to test AI etc.). Is there any chance you will put this in the game? It would be useful when making scenarios and maps!

Thanks for your concern... Us people with names that start from T on down should look out for each other.


I don't think I'll be able to join, so if you or someone else ask about the airplane distance limit PM me their response, and Uber: Phone it in, because I'll be outside Firaxis HQ and if they say "no comment" I'm burning it down!
