(5) ...I have a few ideas for engagement strategy to get more member participation in the forums and discussion.
An idea that would be nice if you can get some commitment from HiG would be a section in the forum where fan can ask questions and interact with HiG. Perhaps they could come once a week or so, or every month? They can just assign a guy to do this?
What I am doing - for the HiG-Chat or for the CarcassonneCentral forum or for the German Carcassonne-Forum?
If there are some questions about the rules and the rules are sometimes not clear enough - I ask HiG direct.
The normal case is, to write HiG an email but I prefer to ring them up. My contact there for the rules is Georg Wild.
Last year at the Spiel 2012 in Essen (Thursday 18.10.12) I had an interview with HiG - Georg Wild and Christof Tisch.
Thank you both, for answering all my questions about the rules of Carcassonne.
The questions gave me Obervet03 from CarcassonneCentral.
I posted the result of that interview at the HiG-Chat first in German. And then Obervet03 helped me with the translation and correction reading from German to English.
Thanks Obervet03 for your help.
I'll post the result of the interview at the rules section
Here at the CarcassonneCentral forum we have the CAR - "Carcassonne - The Complete Annotated Rules".
In the past Matt Harper was working on this. Obervet03 started in Summer 2012 with the CAR 6.0. I'm helping Obervet03 with the correction reading of the rules for the CAR and what I already did for the current CAR 6.1. and S-CAR 6.2 and W-CAR 1.0.
Last week and also yesterday I called with the people at HiG.
The normal way is that I have my monthly telephone call with HiG.
But sometimes it is neccessary to call more.
The next official call about questions of rules is in late Spring this year.
Greetings
