Thread: 19 Answers??
No, in fact I guess it will be delayed like everything else coming from them.

Ok, I have to go wrap up the conversion guide, the Jedi overview and Im still trying to get 19 answers done sometime today or tomorrow. I will try to stop back by though.
It looks like it will be late today or tomorrow until the 19 Answers are given.

I'll be in tomorrow doing patch notes and working on 19 answers. I'll have to wait for Monday so the rest of the devs can verify the information, but I'll post it then and we'll move on to the next group on time.

Caylin? Garvin? If either of you guys are floating around, can you prod TH and see what the hold up is? I've been refreshing the DevTracker for 2 days watching the TC / Jedi drama unfold, but still no new 19 Answers thread.
The suspense is killing me...
LOL, GreenMarine just dropped the helluva-bomb of more info than we can take at this moment for the week. We didn't get one of our questions answered, we got a megaton of them answered.
Wasn't the point of the 19 questions "program" to scale the professional top 10 questions into something that TH could manage to do every week knowing he will always have other "pretty major projects" on his plate? Has there been any talk in the C-forum about changing the type of questons that get asked or who they get asked of or scaling down the questions to a three week cycle instead of a 2 week one or SOMETHING so that the dialog can be kept up while the players don't feel strung along week after week?

EDIT: and again, thank you for sticking around these last few weeks!

Actually...that's the misconception...I use to think the same thing...
In truth...back when folks started compiling the "10 Questions", TH has actually only asked 3 professions for 10 Questions...Other Communities got confused (even Commandos) and started drafting their own 10 Questions...TH responded to the 3 professions he had promised, but couldn't find enough time to fairly respond to all of the other profession's 10 Questions...
With that in mind, I asked TH if he'd at least mind answering 1 of the 10 questions a week...that still was a high number of questions (remember there is over 30 groups out there)...So the proposal was further revised to answering 1 of our questionsevery 2 weeks (doing 19 groups a week)...TH felt he could take that task on, but told us that each week his schedule would vary, so there may be "hiccups" to deal with...and even better yet, he allowed us to ask a new question every 2 weeks instead of just using our originally submitted 10 Questions...
So in reality, TH never promised to answer most of our 10 Questions...but he agreed that we all deserved some answers...so he created the 19 Answers posts and dedicated himself to collecting Questions and investigating the Answers...
To further understand the delay...most Questions are submitted until Tuesday Afternoon...sometimes Wednesday...The TH runs around basically talking to everyone involved to get us answers...once he has them he previews them to the Correspondents...This is where theyoften get held up...If we correspondents don't like the responses or think they need further investigation, we push TH in that direction which means the Answers don't get posted right away...Usually it seems like TH goes through about 3 or 4 revisions before the Answers are actually posted (for better or worse)...
Personally, I'd rather the Answers get Delayed then TH rushing them out...The more time he has to put into getting us answers, the better chance we have at getting a Good Response...
