To be fair, we didn't publicize it as much as we should have, things have been a bit crazy.  I'll have to buy a new tire iron and go visit Eabrace...
Yeah, sadly, Titan is blocked at work and I didn't notice it was up until late that night.  My bad.

Doc was open for a full 24 hours.

Oh, I assumed it was only open from when your tweet was sent in the afternoon, until 7 the next morning. Either way, thanks for doing it, and getting Dr. Aeon on board too!



I'm not sure that there will be another one, given the turnout. And the amount of questions has dropped every year. I almost wonder if someone should just find old developers and interview them separately, but that presents a certain amount of problems on its own.

What sort of publicity would Titan Network have done?
I used CIT before they even joined the Titan network! But then I left for a long ol' time, and came back. Now I edit the wiki.

I'm working on sorting the Lore AMAs so that questions are easily found and linked: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Lore_AMA/Sorted Tell me what you think!

Yes - the doc was only open for half a day.

Huh. I don't recall that being mentioned in previous AMAs - I thought it was a personal story arc.

It's called a "sig" story there - that's why I didn't pick it up when I searched for "signature" and "SSA" to make sure my question hadn't been asked. Wah wah waaaaaaah.

Either way, you can see bits of the cutscenes that would have been used for it here:

For starters, I would have started getting word on Facebook and Twitter out much earlier in the day.  :)

Far be it from me to want to make any shenanigans about it, but Posi did say in the doc, "While I'd like to keep doing these, I will tell you that if Sean's not here to save my bacon next year, these are going to get a lot more boring." It sounds like his heart's still in it, but there's not much left to do without his colleagues' and fans' help.

I think it'd be great if fans hit up some of the other developers; but, trust me on this one:
  • Make it clear you're not just chit-chatting, that you're interviewing them, and you plan to post their comments to an audience.
  • Ask if they'd like you to run your post/article by them before posting.
  • Don't use the Titan Forums for any of that before running it by TonyV and/or eabrace.
It certainly was a short doc this year, but you know what? I found the questions and answers a lot more interesting than I expected them to be. There were a few BIG plot points cleared up and revealed this time, all of which I had questions about when the game closed. I'm glad Posi came back for another round, despite any inconvenience this thing causes him.

Back Alley Brawler is doing an AMA on reddit. I'm on my phone, so it's inconvenient to post the link, but I'll get to it. Titan's Facebook has it.The replies about CoH from his username are days apart, so it seems like you could ask at leisure.

Edit: Links in OP.
