	Tired of ads?

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

	Full PM-box? Change here!

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

	Put an end to popups!

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?

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

Is it going to be moderated? Please say yes

as always this will depend on how well people will behave

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?

usually we have 70% of moderated discussion followed with unmoderated

the "groups of 5" method has worked well too

sure, go ahead

	Got spare money?

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!

@Marc:
Do you prefer the Q's in quotes or not?

	Put an end to popups!

quote: Will you be limited to 8 civs in hotseat as well?

THere is my question, a no can be followed up with:

quote: Can you change users to AI if someone leaves or so you can finninsh the game in SP

Te reason for the question is due to the speculation that diplomacy still will not be available in the editor. If you can load your scenario in hotseat than you can play by yourself setting up the diplomatic setting, convert all civs to AI and now you have a save game scenario with all the proper diplomatic settings. I have been thinking about that for a while now, there should be no reason for it not to work unless it too is limited to 8 civs and even then it will work for 8 civ scenarios.
