Hope this helps to organise our efforts

I know that there are many topics not covered ... but it's a start.

Werner, Great post and it helps, a lot.

Werner, I agree that posting in specific threads and staying on their respective Topics will help organize areas of concern much better and will be easier to isolate the separate areas.

Question: IF we post problems, errors or things to be done on those threads, do we then post on the same threads any reports as to what is being worked on and how it is going as well as when something is corrected, completed or added?

Greg, I would like consolidated reports on the reports thread.

yes, I agree..this will keep each area up to date and we will know what is completed as well as what is being worked on in separate threads for each specific area.

Werner and Rob...will you guys put together a list of "Bugs" and any problems or things that could use changes to work or look better in the game. No need to get elaborate, just simple categories will do. Since there is No "Bug List" we are all doing many work efforts to try and correct many different areas but not completing any one area totally because of the need to correct enough so the game will play ok now. This still accomplish many things and I believe we all know the major issues being addressed now, however, a list will be very helpful to actually know any and all things that need to be corrected so the game will be up to date with what is in now. While the addition of some things will be ok, it would be best IMO to have all things corrected before any major additions. Once all "Bugs" have been corrected and the Game at least works ...it will be far more Fun to test, play, add more improvements and additions from then on.
Obviously, there is no need to wait until you have a complete list before posting because that will be a while I'm sure. Just post any Big Bugs that really need immediate attention now, then continue adding to the list.

I also want to Request that we Recruit some more people who are familiar with the Game Fall Out to Help as Testers. They should be able to provide some good feedback we can use. This will also speed up the Testing of ALL things that must be tested as it helps the current Testers with more sets of "eyes".
