We're experimenting with a new idea that should provide an interesting opportunity for us to involve this community in more of the stuff that we do regularly. Up until now we all interact through forums and Xbox Live, but you all haven't had much influence on the website itself (except in being featured in gallery pics, etc). That's about to start changing...

Here's how "Ask A Doll!" will work:

All community members are welcome to post a GAME RELATED QUESTION in this thread. Then each week one of the Frag Dolls will go through the questions a pick out a handful to answer in her blog. Simple as that, but please mind a few rules:

• Only QUESTIONS will be allowed in this thread! No banter, no commentary, ONLY questions. If a particularly great/funny/controversial question comes up, PLEASE CREATE A DIFFERENT THREAD TO ADDRESS IT. We will be editing out the banter so please don't make more work for us. Post only your question.
  
• We will reset the list of questions every week. If you post a question that doesn't get answered and you really really want an answer, post it again the following week.
  
• We do not guarantee to answer your question. It's up to the girls which questions we choose to answer, so don't yell at us; you are expected to manage your expectations.
  

EDIT: Further clarification

By GAME RELATED questions I mean anything related to gaming. Anything! Examples:

• Hints-and-Tips Questions: Ask about specific stuff in games. The girls aren't required to answer any of these so if they don't know the answer, it won't be addressed, but feel free to try anyway. Maybe Valkyrie will go on a crazy cheats spree and learn everything there is to know about the Itchy & Scratchy CD-ROM.
  
• Interview Questions: Ask the girls about themselves and gaming. Keep in mind that it will be a random Frag Doll answering each week so if you address one Frag Doll in particular, you might have to keep repeating it if she's not the one who writes that week.
  
• Industry Questions: Ask about how the industry works, about the inside workings of marketing, production, and development within game companies. Sometimes we'll have an answer, sometimes we won't, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
  
• Editorial Questions: Ask our opinion about a particular game related topic, ie. violence in games, education and games, Nintendo fanboys, next gen console wars, future of PC gaming, hot coffee, etc.
  

Be creative, be curious, and have fun with it. I have faith in this community's ability to ask interesting questions.

Which game had the first Frag Doll Friday ever?

I don't mean to pigeon hole anyone but are there any further guidelines for questions? A game related question could be anything from: "What game got you hooked on gaming?" Or "At what point did you realise you wouldn't grow out of gaming?" Hopefully these are okay but these seems like we're interveiwing you. They could also range from "What's Tom Clancy really like? I hear he's got a stealth coating." to "In itchy and scratchy quest, just where is the secret wizard key?". So could you give us a couple of sample questions?

Btw, since we're asking questions what genius thought of making people log in to veiw the forums? Won't that kindof stunt new membership? I mean are the contents inside guaranteed so awesome that the lure to sign up is so irresistible sight unseen? I'm just saying there are a great many games I never would have bought without first trying the demo, the shareware or the rental.

Okay, I'll bite.

If you were going to make a Frag Doll videogame, what kind of game would it be? Assume you have a major developer backing you on this, with all its resources at your disposal.

I think this is a grand idea! cant wait to answer some questions!

Can your most loving and dedicated mod get a FD Tee autographed by all the girls for her birthday?

What happened to Voodoo over at the UK division? Her Profile is like a ghost link?

Is there a Ventrillo (or other team speak style program) server that you girls use when you ever play PC games online? I know that the games played by the team tend to be console games, but I thought that maybe Ubisoft had a server up. Heck, maybe some of us community members could use it like IRC while we play different PC games.

What's the very first PC game you've ever played?

What game put ya in for the long haul? Meaning I know you've all been playing games for a long time now, but at what moment in gaming has personally kept you hooked ever since?

If you could be any video game character, who would you be, why, and what would you do to make your mark on the present world with your characteristics?

What is the most notable (cutest/wierdest/nicest/funniest) thing a fan or follower has ever done/said/made for you, either online or in person at an event?

As female gamers, do you think the changes in perception of female gamers over the past ten years has been positive or negative? How so? How do you think, or how would you like, for female gamers to be perceived in the future?

I'm sure I'll think of some more later

What do you see yourself doing after leaving the Frag Dolls, if/when you do?

We all know that video games are made up mainly of horny teens. So my question is when you play on xbl do you constantly deal with a barrage of guys hitting on you when all you really want to do is play a simple match or 2? If so then how do you deal with the unwanted attention?

On the Itchy & Scratchy CD-ROM, is there a way to get out of the dungeon without using the wizard key?

Is Tom Clancy involved in any aspects of making the games that bear his name or is that just some fancy liscensing agreement?

Do you feel pressure at times to be a positive role model for young women who play video games? If so do you worry about creating a positive independent image for young women to look upon that breaks the sterotypes of raising children and staying in the kitchen?

Well , i asked this qestion befor but i got only (Psyche , Jinx and Valkyrie) replys , so i'll post it again hoping i get all The FDs answers...

Which one of u FDs have played and finished or at least have played any of Tomb Raider parts? ,and what is your opinion about this game?

And also , Which one of u FDs willing to get TR-Anniversary and give it a try?

We're getting away from the question thing so I'm about to go edit out posts, but before I do that, some clarification:

Hopefully that helps.

Well, one more thing , this thread was sinking down between the other threads few moments agoo, so if it going to be official and being used regularly then i think making it sticky is a good idea...
