Subject: Lets have another reverse mailsack!

7 pages sounds a little torturous... but I guess that the love spread out, so who can complain!

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


You could start with the Mythic members and interview each member in alphabetical order from A-Z.

Picture highly relevant.

On a more serious note, the determination of prominent and/or popular members would require nothing more than a quick consultation with the forum ninjas. There are probably 100+ members who deserve an exclusive spotlight in the community; the members of the HFCS will know who those members are. After those members have been spotted and identified, all that's left to do is throw their names in a hat, and then pull out seven (or so) names. Those seven members will have their moment of fame in a Mail Sack or exclusive interview.

This obviously won't be the case with tomorrow's discussions, though in the future, this could be fun.

DeeJ - Is it possible that I can answer everyone's question with "My mom"?

Gotta love Scott Kankelborg! :D

That's about as many pages as any question thread. An answer thread will just allow for less people to submit content, since the responses will be longer.

Do a poll

Don't make me kick your ass, ye election tamperer. I'll select the list of responders myself.


This made me chuckle quite heartily.

If this works as planned, can we go with an unwritten rule that unless you are itching to answer something, you try not to post in any more then one of them? That way each go around more people can get involved...Just to get the levels stable, then it can be a scramble fest again.

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.


That's a pretty solid solution, DeeJ. Looks like I'll refresh the forums tomorrow so I can be quick enough to make 7 pages.

Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

DeeJ, I find myself asking pretty genuine questions that have some thought put into them, but never get answered. so when I give my heartfelt answer tomorrow I hope that it will make it into the final cut.

My birthday is in January so just consider it an early Birthday present from you and Bungie to me

Lamentably, I fear that I won't be able to answer tomorrow. As much as I love Bungie, schooling takes precedence.

Choose a panel of 15-20 regular members. People who post often, are recognized, and ask intelligent questions in the normal sack. Send them a list of questions and they send you your answers. Once you have been in a reverse sack you cannot be in it again until [insert number here] other members have also been given a chance to answer.

I'm happy your actually doing this, and even more surprising that I was the one to do it. I'm a reverse Mailsack.....er

So everyone will reply with one sentence (if that) to grab a spot within 7 pages, then spend an hour answering.

It takes a while for the usual mailsack threads to get to 7 pages, I doubt that there will be a problem.

I already know I will be in there, so don't try and avoid it. I even took the liberty of delivering my answers to your house. They are on your coffee table in the living room. I also fed your pets. Your welcome.

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.
I think this would work well.

I heard the people with blue bars are fairly respectable and outstanding community members. You could try a few of them.
Who told you that? They're terrible liars.

Also, seven pages?! The mail sack is usually at nine pages when I first see them.

7 pages is a lot to sift through.... ;D
I'll be pissed if I'm the first post on page 8.
Plus, I'm less likely to be inb4 page 7 due to me being in GMT.

Oh well.

So DeeJ (if your still paying attention to this thread) when can we expect this thread of questions, my guess would be wednesday, but when do you think you can squeeze it in?
