Off the top of my head from what I recall:Marcena said:
DELETED BY MODERATOR
Fearless Leader says: "Geez, guy, do you mind? Even stuff that was passed may get unpassed at the Symposium, and we don't need people thinking the rule has already changed when it hasn't.
Didn't we already have this discussion?"

None have been announced (including that one) and none will be announced until the book is done, so don't expect anything until end of season.

Well you've got to figure that the owners are probably going to want to discuss further rules stuff at the Symposium which is not until the end of August.
Which leaves 3-4 months to write, proof & edit the book.
Based on past experience, that is highly unlikely.
But possible, I suppose.
Exactly. I'd rather take my time, do it right, and make the new book great than rush it out. We also would like to have some serious discussions in person about some of the rules, and people might even change their votes on some. You never know.

People get rules confused with old editions, future editions, desired rules and completely different games. Putting up the proposals will not significantly contribute not detract from that. He asked a question, and I answered as best I could. I don't see it as any worse than speculating about rules changes we wish we could have or want to propose ("Hey, wouldn't it be cool if the rule was this...").Fearless Leader said:
No, we had a different one. You'd stated that you're afraid of public opinion weighing in prior to finalization, and I'm all for talking about it and getting excited and figuring out what could be fun and interesting. I understand if you want to say "these are not final", but deleting them seems kind of silly. Heck, I've been a proponent of 1.5 profs for two-handers and short-sword length claws for years, long before there was an Alliance, much less discussing a new edition of the Alliance rulebook. Is such discussion now verboten?

Pff, says the only fighter I know with a celestial spell. (But he memorizes Disarm, at least that's useful.)

Sheesh, ya move away and he forgets everything.
And I agree, there is no higher purpose to spending build than for character flavor/RP purposes.

Oh, sooooooorrrrryy, 'only rogue I know with a fighter tree before scouts existed just to prove that hoblings can be fighters.'
You people are crazy.

Thanks. Credit where credit's due and all that.
Anyway, I think New Edition should not only get a rewrite, but a complete do-over, along with Menudo. I think if they had a chance to do it all over again, the 80's wouldn't have turned out the same way.

Its just getting a little frustrating every time the new rulebook is mentioned to hear that it is coming out "soon". And then when that time rolls around the same thing is said... =\ I know this is often the way with things like this, but that coupled with the very strict altitude about not letting out anything about what is possibly changing is somewhat frustrating. I am not complaining per say here, but trying to say how people might be a little bit frustrated, thats all.

In the grand scheme of things January really isn't that far away.
We're all acting like little kids who can't wait to open a present and keep shaking the box and pestering the grown ups with "but I wanna open it now!"
Just relax and play the game as-is for a few more months and have fun. The owners are all players too. If they really think something is major enough for a rewrite (full, partial or whatever) then it'll happen. If not, then it won't. *shrug* If you feel that strongly about it, bug your owner.
