Ideas for Local other things to do – Paramount Theater (Will be running Mamma Mia! During the weekend. See http://paramountaurora.com. Morton Arboretum http://www.mortonarb.org , Hollywood Casinos http://www.hollywoodcasinoaurora.com, Aurora Regional Fire Museum http://auroraregionalfiremuseum.org, Philips Park Zoo http://www.phillipsparkaurora.com/zoo-information.html, and much more. Chicago is an hour drive , although I suggest if you want to visit Chicago, that you park at the Aurora transportation Center and take the Metra BNSF Line train to union station and use cabs to get to your destination downtown. If you choose to drive, be aware that parking at most locations is usually $20 for anything over an hour up to a day. Metra weekend passes are $8 when purchased at the train station.

'''General Details'''

All events and activities on Saturday, October 8 are included with your monkey. You are responsible for the cost of meals and activities on other days as well as any alcoholic beverages you may purchase at restaurants.
Coffee, tea, soft drinks, and some snacks will be available at the Pluribus Games office. Alcohol will not be provided but you are encouraged to bring your own. Non-alcoholic areas and activities will be available for attendees under 21 years of age. Board and card games are popular.

Pluribus: Removed questions handled on March 13, 2016 fireside

= Fireside Chat Ideas =
I am looking to improve some of the aspects of communicating things to the players. Several people have suggested the idea of a weekly fireside chat around when I run test passings. I have created a new Microphone Channel called Fireside for the this purpose. I will accept suggestions here for topics for each week. I would like to keep the discussion on topic as much as possible with as many questions submitted here before the event.

'''Q:''' Why do you want the questions up front and not during the event?
 '''''A:''''' Because historically the ENN chats have started well but got worse the longer they go on. If I get the questions up front, I can think about the answers and not do quick off the cuff answers that tend to upset someone or another.

'''Q:''' Can I have a unicorn?
 '''''A:''''' No, stop asking. It was funny the first 200 times, but now you are more likely to get a snarky answer that causes someone to point out that Pluribus is a meany and he shouldn't talk to the players that way.

'''Q:''' How do I submit idea for topics and or Questions that I would like answered.
 '''''A:''''' Add them to the sections below. (+1 any question that you are interested in that was previously posted)

'''Q:''' How long will these chats last and is there any chance of taking questions during the event?
 '''''A:''''' I am shooting to make them about 30 minutes long. Questions submitted during the event may be answered at my discretion. Posts that are off topic or meant to just be inflammatory will just be deleted rather than posted. (Yes it is censorship, deal with it)

'''Q:''' How do I see the discussion as it is happening?
 '''''A:''''' During the event, just /join Fireside and the microphone channel will be added. If you can't be in game, it will be logged with the other microphone channels.

=== State of the Game ===

== Questions Per Topic ==
=== State of the Game ===

=== Events ===
There seem to a number of question showing up about events, I will try and get with nikara (The events team lead) and be better prepared for those questions.

* For Events, instead of one 12-hour marathon, how about 3 or 4 copies of an event, each shorter, and spaced around the clock? This allows people from all different time zones as good of a chance to participate, without people feeling obligated to play for a full 12 hour stretch. Yes, one person could win multiple events. I think most of us are willing to take that chance, though. - Somebob +1 Asnath, +1 Kastou, +1 Balthazarr
* Would it be possible to create an auto-exclude list that would allow a player to participate in 1 round but not in others? (if event = herbs with 3 rounds and they collect 1+ herb in round 1, they cannot get credit for round 2 or 3) Or to have the player select in which rounds they want to participate(ala Demi-Pharaoh) - Zhukuram
* Many players are frustrated with long events, be them 12 or 24 hours long. Similarly they are frustrated with a shorter event that is held at a time inconvenient to them. In some past tales, the same event was run 3 times, with the start time of the second event 8 hours after the first and the third being 16 hours after the first. Is there any chance that this could become the norm? (yes this is a rephrasing of the initial question, just with more details) - Balthazarr
* There has been lots of confusion during events as to what the rules and guildlines are. Would it be possible to have that information available before the events? Example, if warps are possible, time travel use, etc. - Brucette

== Questions Per Topic ==
=== State of the Game ===
* So, it is 6 months into the first telling that you have run. What things do you feel that you got right? What things do you feel that you got wrong?
* It feels likes all you do is slow things down, why can't you just give us everything we want NOW?
* Why don't you do a kickstarter to fund a new graphics engine?
* Why can't you make the game free to play?
* Even though this is really a game made for "Guild play", lots of people are really playing in small guilds / solo players and its really getting more and more difficult not to say impossible to solo play, because of the costs of so many buildings and such. do you intend to keep it that way ? - Asnath +Zhukuram
* Are you happy with the size of the player base, both financially and from a gameplay standpoint? - Khephren
* Compared with the past history of ATITD what is your vision for future editions of the game. Are there areas of the game you would like to upgrade or adjust (eg graphics, audio, interface)? What options do you envision as player areas (since Unicorns are O U T)? - Zhukuram
* At this stage, do you envision there being an 8th Tale?
* We still want cats and other goodies for purchase. When might these be available to us? - Balthazarr
* Any news on when gifting of account time/packages will become available? Or is it currently possible through PayPal (with you processing it manually)? - Maxion
