Ok, so normally I post if I need a question answered. Which is what everyone does from what I've seen. I also read through just about every rules question thread that I've ever seen as well. In the year I've been coming to Bloo I've never once been able to get the search engine to work. Not sure if it works for anyone else but it never has for me. Not that this bothers me or anything just trying to make a point that it's never worked for me. Wink

Also since quite a few of these threads are repeatedly asked questions such as the un-ending Stealth and Super Stealth rulings. Why don't we start a thread that will at least answer the most asked about rules? Just a thought I thought I'd throw out there. Not sure if this has been discussed in the past or not. But It would most likely cut down on the repeat offender thread's. Not that I'm offended or anything either. Wink

I don't mind seeing the same topics crop up because everyone has questions and we have new people signing up all the time. I just thought it might be nice to have an easy to see FAQ Sticky Thread right at the top. Maybe a quick read for someone to use before posting their question. Because the SW Mini FAQ is getting quite big now-a-days. Not exactly a short read if ya get where I coming from. Crying That and it's not even on Bloo from what I've seen.

I mean lets face facts, this section is now 92 pages long. Or should I say *Looooooonnnnngggggggg* Who is going to search thru 92 pages when they can take 5 seconds typing, How does Stealth work?

I'm thinking we could have one Sticky and just keep adding most asked about topic questions. Any thoughts from anyone?

Yeah, I think we need to redo/reorganize the links to the FAQ and all the updated rules documents.

All the current stuff (with v-set additions) can be found on the main page of Gamers under Downloads.

Whoa, Cool, mod support with the first reply. Woo Hoo! BigGrin Oh that's cool too, I didn't know Gamers had that. I'm on there too, but I think this would be good for Bloo as well. I had thought we used to at least have links, I would've sworn I had used them in the past but I wasn't sure. Not sure what happened to them though. Confused

Anwho, ya this would be nice. Wink Would be good to see.

I have been meaning to update the Rules Link with the DOTF stuff. I will likely get to it tomorrow. There has been something else I've been wanting to add to this forum as well.

That said, I am not going to maintain such a thread. Because it quite frankly won't be used. Even if the search worked or we had a FAQ list, the majority wouldn't use it. Trust me, I saw it on WOTC, and Nickname can attest to it.

Well that's cool, I just thought I'd throw that out there. I would use it, but like ya said it doesn't mean others would. No biggee, thought just crossed my mind. Never spent much time at WotC, truth be told. Much nicer crowd over here. Smile

Yup. Most people won't look at the existing FAQ, and those who will don't need anything else.

I'm sensing something. Something I've not felt in a long time on a rules forum... Ah, the truth! :)

Thread jack away Q. Smile And what are the Bothan Transmissions? Never spent much time at WotC once I found Bloomilk. I think I was there maybe a month tops. Been here a year. ThumpUp
