So, how should I choose those among you who should answer?



Start a group? Make a thread in it and choose the best answers out of the replys? Just a thought, no one listens to me though.

How should you choose? At random.


1) Create thread for people who want to participate
2) Ask questions
3) ????
5) Skip 4 and profit!

Second idea: Completely random. Just message random people, and ask them random questions. Who doesn't love getting PMs?

Also, why not focus on a group? It doesn't have to be any one in particular, but I'm sure some groups would love to just answer some random questions.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Well, first off, we must decide how many would be an easy number for you to work with. 10? 15? 50?

I would say closer to 20 is about manageable, but still pushing it for you. So where can we find a group of 20 or less members, with a commonality of some sort?


Perhaps the winners of past Mailsack Challenges?

Of course, we are trying to avoid favoritism, so that might not fly. Nor would the idea that YOU pick who answers, because, well, that's just plain old favoritism.

While odd, Sken's idea of a poll could work, but maybe more of an election based thing. We start a thread, and have nominations, after which we vote on who we want to let represent us in a questionnaire from Bungie. Yea, I know, this is too far gone on the popularity scale.

Or perhaps this:

Let's make a group, and call it "ReverSack" In this group, members post ideas, so as to lower those threads on this forum. We can also file through the members of this group, and every few mailsacks, you take the next handful of members, and let them take up the questions. We could also post the questions in a thread in the group's forum, so that if you need more answers because the few names taken don't all give what you need, you'll have a couple extras to work with.


The last possible option is to just let the mods pick a couple users, but that also leans towards the oh so evil favoritism, and I know how silly it is, but people would flame so hard, even though it's not that big of a deal.


Alright, that's all I got, yo.

...we all trust your judgement.

HA! You speak for the entire group, do you, Mr. Poe?
Honestly, yes. Or at least that sentiment should hold true for those of us reasonable enough to admit it. While I would love to weigh in on the thoughts and questions of a group of Bungie employees, I realize that I am neither the most active nor, in all probability, the most devoted member of the Bungie Community. That said, I somehow doubt that the majority of others have the decency and maturity to frankly admit their own status as members here. Thus the reason that you should play favorites and choose those members you think most qualified, or at least the most interesting.

I'm going to go with Hybelos dart Idea, open any recent thread without paying attention to what it's about. hold your control key on the keyboard down while scrolling down on your mouse (or pressing -), when it is at its smallest take a nerf gun from 10 feet back and shoot your monitor, go back and slowly increase size of window until you're able to read t username which is located where your dart is.

This could potentially be damaging to their equipment. That could be a liability.

I still think that forcing DeeJ to cover the nearest wall in random Community Threads is far more hilarious. Though if you're intent on saving paper, a projector would work much better than shooting your computer monitor.

In fact, since Bungie's current abode used to be a Movie Theatre (with some of the viewing rooms still intact for group meetings and such), he need only borrow one of the rooms, display a bunch of threads up on the screen, and then go crazy with darts. It's not like they're doing anything productive in there anyways :)

I am soliciting questions from Bungie today.

I will let you all answer tomorrow. We will let the responses rage for up to 7 pages of forum chatter. I will handpick seven great answers to each question from the resulting body of replies.

Thus, everyone gets to participate, and you all get to become better acquainted - and you promise to forgive me in advance if you don't make the final cut.

When would you get around to making that thread?

I would say I am one of the most successful trolls in Bungie.net history.

Why not interview groups?

Having Deej select community members will only provoke even more ass kissing. I like the idea of the reverse mailsack(sounds like a adult film move btw) but don't care for Deej selecting said members.

Promote groups and not individual users, groups are like the peanut butter in this PBJ we call Bungie.net.

I'll certainly try to be around when the answers are flying. I was personally hoping that you would pick members and then kidnap them and bring them to an undisclosed location for questioning.
