Love you all! Catch you wherever I normally talk to you.
Yup, I guess it is quieting down anyway. G'night all!

It's been quiet all night. I left for 20 minutes and I don't think there were 20 posts when I got back

Yes! Let's hear it.

Most of them will check back anyway.

Still here! Or rather saw there were new posts and came back

There is a lot of info in the Roundup, but the thread usually sinks because there is no reason for anyone to comment on it. I think this probably reduces the effectiveness of the Roundup as fewer people see it.

Any chance to temporarily sticky the Roundup threads each week?

I would agree with that. What's the solution?

So we are gonna add a 'Guess that Toy' game. Where everyone tries to figure out what toy is in the picture (most of the picture will be covered - you will only see a tiny piece). You post your guess, and then all correct guesses get pooled and one winner will win a gift card. I think it will actually be pretty fun!

It's a poll, isn't it?

That's totally a great idea! More fun than a poll.

That sounds fun. You guys are too generous. Might I suggest that people only be allowed one guess to prevent spamming the thread with guesses.

I will consider that - let's see how it goes.

YES! I would agree to that. Then it would be more about winning the GC than reading the Roundup

Okay, seriously, I want to know what happens with Talia and Skif and if Elspeth gets Chosen and if anyone else is going to try and kill Talia in this book.

Bye!

Your thinking of the Rumble. The Round up is about the weeks events/happenings and choice reviews for the week.

I guess what I was thinking was to prevent people from simply listing every toy they can think of. However, that would constantly bump the thread which I guess is the point.

Well it's two parts really, we do want to make the Roundup more fun, and have more people read it... but we also want the thread to keep getting bumped with the posts. So as long as its not too out of hand, no worries.

Oh Gary, I had emailed Carrie Ann awhile back about adding video review stats for the week to the Roundup also. What do you think?

Well, for this particular CEC meeting, you can leave suggestions or comments and they'll get noted for the next meeting. If you'd like to join in on the next meeting, it'll be held on the forums on Thursday the 21st at 7pm Eastern. So while you missed this meeting, you can still be here for the next one. All you have to do is show up and participate!

You're also not too late for the Guess That Toy game, currently being played during the roundup.
