Definitely culture. I dont adventure, and I'm sure there will be enough combat for me to work out details.

Also, why is the vote hidden? Is it seriously thought that we are so low in interest as to need motivation?

So as not to bias it, obviously (that's what the thread part is for).

Thats not at all circular :P

Maybe it should list who voted for what, so if we reuse topics, I know who to DDoS to ensure my pick wins? Just to slide things 100% the other way.

I'd like to at least see both Adventure Mode and Culture handled in the future. (listed them alphabetically, so you can't determine my preference  ;D)

Alphabetical, reverse alphabetical.

Even though all of this choices sound pretty interesting, I had to go for Adventurer for that fact that ive been getting into that mode more and more as of late.

I'd probably pick the battle specifics, but there's already been lots of information about that... So I'll have to go with adventure mode craziness stuff. I'm not really playing adventure mode at all anymore (hopefully that will change sooner or later), but think it'll be entertaining and interesting to listen to.

I'm prefer procedural culture myself, but Adventure Mode doesn't get enough love so I voted for it.

Heh, I thought of a stupid idea for the Fortress talk. Though it is so stupid it makes me laugh.

I'll consider it, though I need to weigh it against any sort of respect I may have gained (which isn't too too high because I get in these horrible moods from time to time)

As it is also a bit show offish and breaming with "Alterior motives" which is the major reason I don't say so. Maybe I should whisper it to you.

What do you think?

Whisper away, but I don't think you'll lose any rep for putting out a bad joke.  It's a badge of honor, in my book.  :)

I'm pretty sure the bloodthirsty lunatic demographic is splitting its vote between Adv. Mode and Battle Specifics.  I want to urge you all to throw your weight behind Adv. Mode, but I myself am still torn between the two.
