Subject: "Best Of Mailsack" to close the year?

Fight your way out; only scrubs and mashers jump out of the corner

Hey guys, what do you think of this idea: Deej giving us a bonus Mail Sack this Friday, comprised of favorite questions from 2012.

The favorite question / answer combos would be selected by Deej and possibly his awesome coworkers who have contributed to the Mail Sack this year.

Or, in A Very Special Mail Sack, Urk could man the trenches once more to compose said Best Of list.

Granted, the whole "best of" thing can be pretty tacky, but I think it would be really interesting to see what question's we've asked have stuck with Bungie employees.

I think another Reverse Mail Sack would be a fitting way to end the year, but a "best of" Mail Sack would be pretty cool too.

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

Sigh.. I guess we all do, but it seems rather unlikely.

Better idea: they announce their game on Friday to everyone who's ever had a question on the Mail Sack.

If you have had multiple questions answered, you get to share the announcement with one other BNet member for each additional question answered :p

Or, because we live in the real world, we sit patiently and wait for when Bungie is good and ready, and be thankful for the glimpses they've shown us already :)

Lol.

I'm sure he has no problem with hearing harmless ideas from the community.

Also the people expecting Bungie to announce their game on Friday because it's a significant date to the internet are only setting themselves up for dissapointment.

Кланяються мені!

I can't imagine going through ALL of those questions would anything short of a nightmare. Maybe an honorable mention of his favorite question anybody has asked all year like "Hey Deej I'm getting my mom some new clothes, do you remember her sizes?"

If Deej or Urk did it alone, it wouldn't really be that long. It might be a couple of hours to pull a few questions from each Mail Sack, then filter that set down until there are 10 - 15 questions or so.

But, I will agree that if everyone who's ever been involved with the Mail Sack were also involved with Best Of efforts, that WOULD be a bit of a nightmare to accomplish in such a short amount of time.

Me too ken, but I don't see it happening.

Why would we pick the winners? The Mail Sack is written for you. If there are to be judges of the best Mail Sack questions, it should be the community that received the end-message. If this is to happen, there should be a thread in which each of you links to your own favorite highlights. I would love to see that, actually.

And, for the record, I LOVE it when people help me do my job. The role of Community Manager is not that of a professor lecturing an audience. The conversation that we've had since I got here is what's enabled us to build a relationship. And, many of you have had interesting ideas for how we can light the darkness that I have been thrilled to champion.

Depriving me of the chance to announce my own features on the Bungie Blog, on the hand, will definitely help you get your ass kicked. (I am kidding... sort of.)

I just saw a green monkey nut shot a small tan lizard(?) in a gunny sack.

I don't really see the point in this.

WHAT?!
Some of us have lives, so me not getting a question in every monday should disqualify me from hearing about bungie's next game?
Worst idea ever.
Of all time.

Well to start with, we need a general consensus as to determine what is "good","bad" and what determines a question to be "the best".

I just made the thread because Deej said he wanted someone to.
