Okay, so every week DeeJ makes these wonderful mailsacks and get's them answered by cool Bungie Employees. We learn interesting stuff, receive funny jokes, and it's an all-around fun time.

However, I was thinking, what if they had questions for us?

Which gave me this idea: DeeJ goes around Bungie telling employees to ask any questions they have of the Community. DeeJ then comes on the Community forum and makes a thread asking some of the questions the employees had. Everyone posts replies to the answers (1 post per Member in the thread to keep it from getting spammy). Then DeeJ chooses an answer for every question (the same member wouldn't be chosen for more than one question) and takes it back to Bungie.

Sure, we don't get to see the result, but it's still pretty cool. Also, this could be done like once a month or something. Anyway, tell me what you think.

*Update*: DeeJ said he might try it next week. Remember guys, he said "might", don't get all disapointed if it doesn't happen :)
*Update 2*: It's happening! :)

With the proper procedure this could be very fun. However, I think it would just be simple to just have DeeJ or any other employee just make a thread with their questions.

Seems like a LOT of work.....


and it certainly couldn't be handled by a memeber, a mod would be more suited....

That would work. Then everyone could post their answers and DeeJ would choose the best ones. (but only 1 question per user- we want to have the most community-interaction)

Yes, I like this a lot more than your original idea (no offense). Maybe this kind of a mail sack can be done once a month or something?

Exactly, just have a thread with various questions and a member, if he/she so chooses, will answer them to the best of their ability and then after about a week or so DeeJ can post it to the front page. One post per person so that the thread will not just become a bunch of spam instead of the awesome thread it could be.

Yeah, once a month sounds reasonable since this would take a lot of work. I'll edit the OP.

While that's sort of true, I'm sure that the point of this is to give the community another activity to participate in.

Yes, that was mainly my point. In these dark times even a ray of hope can go a long way... :)

If this actually happened, it would be awesome to set up a Camera at Bungie and film the Employees responses to the answers :D

Considering that the mail sack would possibly be once a month, that might actually be possible. I like that idea!

Yes Costco. I need a 50lb bag...I mean sack of sugar.

I think I'd rather have them work on their next game so I can play it. No time for reading our silly replies. Also, I think that they are too busy for us anyway. Making a game doesn't happen overnight.

If they don't have time to do a podcast, I don't think they would be able to do this either.

That's why they have a web team. Not all of the employees are based on game production.

There is no reason why this wouldn't work. It's the same thing only Bungie's asking the questions. Okay, first question...shoot!

Yeah I guess the camera-thing was far-fetched. But the main idea could still work.

I like the idea, but I think it would be cool if we got to see the chosen answers. That way, it would give us some insight into the community as a whole.

Good idea. DeeJ could edit the answers he chose into the thread once it was done.
