LOL! That was great man. Laughed pretty good with that one.
From the beginning I was thinking that the #1 would be "Why isn't there population on my planets after I colonize them?"

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, and I thought "Sphereworld components won't fit on a baseship" would be in the top ten, but they're not. They come in at the top 20 'tho.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">This probably never came up before, but I'm guessing there is a limit on the number of HTML links you can have in a message. I was going to make every possible link to the Encyclopedia Malfadorica, but it just wouldn't accept them after a while.

[EDIT]
Not true, I was able to keep adding them.

This was great, it sparked my interest in the wiki enough to write an articel again. If everone here wrote just one article, we'd have.........

a large need for editing. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Tonights Top Ten List, with Encyclopedia Malfadorica links
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Did the hyperlinks travel with it? Will they go to the Encyclopedia Malfadorica. Will they browse and decide to play the game? Will Malfador cut me some of the profits? Will CBS sue me?

Oh what have I done.

… the band finishes playing, applause stops, Dave puts down the coffee mug

David Letterman: Ok we’re back. Now for tonight’s top ten list. Now the Top Ten List tonight comes from the home office in Dayton, Ohio.

Paul Shaffer: Well now, that’s a new one.

Dave: Right you are Paul, just for tonight. These are top ten questions asked on the Shrapnel Games Intel Forum for SE4, compiled for us by the Play By Web server in Dayton, Ohio.

Paul: Oh I see ...

Dave: Yes, we took over the PBW server because, you know only a large computer like that has the, ...logical power to ...

Paul: Implement the heuristics to perform the search and compile the results?

Dave: There you go, just the terminology I was looking for, thank you Paul. Took the words right out of my mouth.

Paul: I just figured someone could have just browsed all the threads.

Dave: Now Paul, who ... in their right mind, ... would spend all that time ...

Paul: You could probably find someone ... well ...dedicated enough

Dave: Yeah Paul, the term is committed, folks. As in ...

Together: Ought to be… Ought a be … yeah.

Dave: Ok top ten questions, on the Intel Forums, over the past year.

Paul: Exactly 1 year?

Dave: Well, 1 year plus a couple weeks, so, one year plus some change, yeah, takes another sip of coffee

Paul: So just about when SE4 Gold came out.

Dave: *Ah*, puts down mug Just a little bit before, yes Paul. ‘Bout a month before.

Paul: And this is compiling all the Posts?

Dave: No Paul, most Posts are you know “Here’s my website with my latest shipset”, “Here’s my latest scenario”, “I tried to mod something and it didn’t work.” Stuff like that. That’s -- that’s not included.

Paul: Ok, so these would be the most common newbie questions on how the game works.

Dave: Mostly you could say that, but you never know some expert might be posing these questions themselves. Start the topic going. Newbies jump in with questions, their own observations, suggestions, whatever.

Paul: All right

Dave: So here are the top ten questions on the Shrapnel Games SE4 Intel forum

Number 10: Ok, what’s this mount thing and why is his gun bigger than mine?

Number 9: Retrofits , everything old is well, ripped out and replaced with new stuff

Number 8: Ok, who’s the wise guy that designed a remote mining component that costs more than it mines

Number 7: Strategic combat: no, not there, There. No, not, No...Augh. Why'd they do that?

Number 6: Supplies : Who stocked this place, 6 years worth of missiles, 6 months worth of fuel?

Number 5: Cloaking , what don't tell me capes are out of style already?

Number 4: Tech trades , theoretically, that would make a good weapon. Without the theory, it‘s a good paperweight.

Number 3: Drones . Were they supposed to look like little space suppositories?

Number 2: A mine is a mine is a mine. *BANG* Oh, I guess that was yours?

And the number one question on the SE4 forum …

With the way it works, is it fair to call it intelligence ?

Applause. Band starts up.
