I thought I'd take a moment to clarify a few things for people.
1. We do not see the questions prior to the IRC. We are shown the questions and are able to choose which ones we can best answer as completely as possible at the time of the chat. That may sound like "spin" to some but it's actually a benefit for players asking the questions. It means they are going to get answers to things we can answer versus something more surface.
2. The Community Team is not going to be answering the questions you ask. We may have some input or insight to add on occassion, but we are there to be a part of the event and interact with the community. We enjoy it.
3. As I already explained, this wasn't a conspiracy not to hold the event. It's unfortunate that things didn't occur as planned and we had worked very hard with the good folks at Stratics to get this one going. Hopefully we will get things ironed out and be able to hold subsequent chats more regularly with the various fan sites. We honestly do enjoy doing them.
We will, hopefully, get a new date announced for you all today if possible. Please keep an eye on the forum stickies and the main website for more information, as well as Stratics' own site.
