Since there is so much debate right now, I'd like to put it all to rest.  Toady and I have talked, and we have decided to have Cultures be the full topic this time, and then have adventure mode next time, and have no vote.  Enjoy your Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Cool.  They're both good topics, despite my ranting.

Ah, all according to plan. ;) More seriously, I was torn between those two topics, so I'm happy to see both used.

It does mean the Adventurer think is technially the New Years episode

I have no idea if that means it carries more weight. Probably not, though it could mean there is going to be extra stuff tacted on... or possibly made to come out before or on December 25th

Or the recording (of DF Talk 6, I mean) will get delayed to mid-January as Toady makes the final push on the release.

Yep that could also happen.

How long does the actual recording part take if you include pre-prep?

Oh you have GOT to be kidding me.  We need instant runoff voting or something, this got Naderized to the extreme.

Yea, I remember that, Nader had grabbed Oregon and thus messed everything up. Not that there is anything wrong with supporting the green party anyways.

Cool, I'm really excited to hear about the Culture stuff. I'm really looking forward to the point where which Civ you select has bigger effects on the game then just what resources and clothing you have access to.

Of course, I am the guy who created a mod called Civilization Forge, so I guess that's not really a surprise, huh?

As a suggestion for the future seeing as this period of No Talk #5 is actually surprisingly longer then I thought (Dang Celebrity Guests)

The suggestion is that maybe you should post a closing period for questions since you won't post time periods for recording.

What do you think?

We leave the line for questions permanently open with the email route, this way anyone who doesn't get their question asked has a chance of getting it asked next time.  Currently its been working pretty well, and hasn't been overwhelming us with questions/responses.

I know you want to know when it will be out, Neo.  Don't worry, it will be out soon, I promise!

I have a patience of 1 week next month :P so I am alright in that respect. So no I am not ploying to find out when it will be out :D

Well that is good your not throwing out questions anymore.

I thought of one but I forgot it a while ago. No wait I sort of remember. Hmmmm... Though it is likely too late and too open :P

Edit addition: I SERIOUSLY need to start writing these in ways that present what I really mean. That and I should stop typing what I am thinking devoid of rewrites.

Edit 2: Hmmmmmm. I am thinking

Edit 3: Nope nevermind about Edit 2, bad idea.
