Loregasm 2013

[eabrace]

A couple of hours ago, Matt Miller posted the following on Twitter:

Boom. Have at it CoH players. #CityOfHeroes #Loregasm docs.google.com/document/d/11b... - Matt Miller (@MMODesigner) April 13, 2013

The link leads to a Google document that can be edited in order for anyone to ask lore questions that will be answered on April 28 - CoH's 9th anniversary.

Please note before asking any questions that there are rules to follow on the first page of the document.  They are subject to change, but here are the rules as I write this post:

On April 28th, 2013, Matt Miller and other members of the Paragon Design team will put answers to lore-related questions of City of Heroes to questions that are in this public document.

Rules:

Try to limit the number of questions you ask. We only have a limited amount of time to answer questions, but if you monopolized half the document with your questions, we might be forced to skip over questions asked by other people. If you have a laundry list of questions, come back later and see if your question was asked by someone else, if a few days have gone by and it's still not asked, then add a couple more questions.

Read the already asked questions, try not to repeat. If you have a similar, but not the same, question as another user add it as a comment in the format described below.

No questions about the following subjects will be answered so don't even try.
* Paragon Studios
* Paragon Employees (including "where are they now")
* The future of CoH
* NCsoft
* The Shutdown of Paragon
* Anything non-CoH lore related, really

We, the designers, reserve the right to make up answers for questions that never really had answers to begin with. (Ex: What was Statesman's Mother's Maiden Name?) This means there is the possibility that we contradict existing Lore that was written by someone-not-us. In that case: mea culpa.

Do not delete or edit any other user's question! Feel free to comment on it in the format described below.

Don't edit anything outside the two horizontal lines in the document.

New rules may appear at any time.

Posted a question. Maybe someday I'll get an answer about the Penny/Clockwork King relationship. :D

-adds a question... or four-

-hopes he hasn't broken the "don't ask too much stuff" rule-

-also fun to watch people type their questions in realtime-

[SirKittles]

I added a question as well. I'm glad they're doing this, and it will hopefully tie up some loose ends lefts open because of murdering of the game.

[Empyrean]

Wow.  This is awesome!   Makes me a little sad, but awesome!  Man, I had so many questions back in the day--now I gotta go pick the one or two best.  Gonna be tough.

[Brightfires]

I had to ask about the moon base... That's one of the unfinished things that I really, really wish we'd have gotten to see. :(

Do publicly shared and editable Google docs have revision control for rollbacks? There isn't a chance in Hades this will ever work if vandalism can't be rolled back.

Besides, the actual loregasm won't be put in the publicly-editable questions file.

[Captain Electric]

Thank you both for the answers.  :)

I've put in my question.

[johnrobey]

I am still hoping to discover the answer to all Loregasm questions sometime in the future in-game, but this is simply my personal choice and preference.   :D

[saipaman]

I went with a power set question whose answer was only going to come from "real life".

[Kaos Arcanna]

I've been checking on a daily basis just to see what questions were asked... did someone just wipe out almost ALL questions?!

[dwturducken]

According to the revision history, an anonymous user made an edit at about 2PM CDT. At that edit, most of the questions disappeared.

[Kaos Arcanna]

There's always someone out there who has to be a jerk ... >:(

Do you think we need to repost or could Posi recover the questions?

[Kaos Arcanna]

Woot. I tweeted Matt and he restored it.  ;D

[blackjak]

I probably asked the most stupid question. It really bothers me though! It's a mystery!

[eabrace]

Whoever this "anonymous" guy who deleted all the Loregasm questions at 10am this morning... shame on you. FYI, it's restored now. -- @MMODesigner
