Topic: Pie Q&A

Ok folks! I'm going to be sitting down with our grand overlord Pie in the coming week or so, and do a nice Q&A session on the direction and what is being planned for imperialconflict.com. If you have anything you want me to ask specifically, post in here. It won't be answered here, but I'll compile a list and get as much as I can into our little session.

Arby: A very strict mod, reminds me of a fat redneck who drives a truck around all day with a beer in one hand. I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....

Why?

Unlike the worthless pile of ********** Pie is here...
Daily


We all see him

He speaks to us.


He is no God... He is a proper ruler!

Re: Pie Q&A

True, but this is more of a formal "where is the game headed" and what he's working on sort of thing. Not the off the cuff questions you normally ask lol.


It's about bringing perspective about the game development over the next 30, 60, 90 days and longer. Not the flavor of the week stuff.

Re: Pie Q&A

Indeed.  For clarity: it's part of a new $25 Patreon tier: https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?c=9074 … id=1822186

To be honest, I have no idea what to offer people who donated more than $15 haha.  So I figure a monthly dedicated and focused Q&A sounds reasonable.

I'm of course generally available all the time, but this will be a scheduled and more formal session for those who are interested.

Got a few bucks?  The Imperial Tip Jar is accepting contributions!

Re: Pie Q&A

heres an idea, lets pay $25 a month to get the same questions answered as everyone else - there should be a QnA where you ask others what they want not just pick it up from them asking you, maybe a suggestions channel in discord (not just the forum one) and you say yes/no and delete the non related posts

We had a feedback channel awhile back but it didn't get much use.  Arby's (and other Patron Commanders') Q&A will be a good monthly discussion for the record.  Something we could do as a routine and save for reference.

If/when we get other Patron Commanders the session will be split/shared amongst them.  For now though, Arbeh's leadin the way!

That's why I posted here. That way we get specific questions about where the game is headed. Not just the random "Hey Pie, can I see a pic of your dog?"

Re: Pie Q&A

Ask him about the phone app... if he still plans on making it or if he has made any progress ... I think that being on Google Play store and Apple store will drive in a lot of players.

Never rule out the possibility that you are a complete idiot

Lol, no.  Pie has made it clear people will not be able to buy advantages.

Why is squirrel such a dumbass, but you are so amazing :0

When will we add another mod or two to help minor caseloads?

When will swearing ect be frowned upon again? When new players come in?

How many licks to the center of a lollipop

Re: Pie Q&A

Can someone, you or a player make a tutorial video in the testing gal to show people the game?

Will FAQ be updated with a video or just updated in time?

When the $25 pool gets larger can we do a Q and A via video? Even just a screen cast with your audio.

Can updates be shown via video ?

Re: Pie Q&A

What is being done to try and appeal to new players?

What is being done to get new players in?
