Is it time to start a fresh Questions thread, and close this one off?

Maybe carry over the unanswered questions to the new thread, and add any other questions we have all thought of since this first round?

I kinda want to wait until Bobby answers these. I don't want to start gathering new questions for Round 3 if it's still going to be awhile till Round 2 is complete. The poll can only hold 30 questions, which means the "post your questions" topic can only be open for a few days, otherwise there are too many questions and not enough room on the poll, which also makes it tricky to carry over questions from one round to the next, if you know what I mean.

While I like these polls, would it be possible to arrange more of an AMA (ask me anything) style of Q&A session similar to the ones on Reddit? Basically, the developers could arrange a time window when they will open up an official topic where people can post their questions and the developers can respond to whatever ones they want. A few rules limiting the number of questions per person and a "deal with it" clause if you question does not get answered would need to be in place to make it a good experience for all parties.

That is a good idea. I wonder though if they would have enough time to do something like that. With these polls, Bobby can answer them at his leisure whenever he gets some free time, but unfortunately I don't think he has a whole lot of free time.

Don't everyone start complaining. We're lucky the lead is willing to talk to us at all.

Hopefully that's because he's so busy getting new tables ready, or implementing some of the changes and improvements we asked for. Then again, he could just be out there partying all the time.
