As a twelve-year veteran, with more hours than I care to count here on CD I find this thread amusing. What happened to all the people who wanted a "different" surface about this time last year? Or "something besides balls"?

Just be patient with your new game ideas. Sometime around May 1 Mr. Lavery will post OFFICIAL threads about these sorts of ideas. I know from talking to to several GDC members that suggestions in those threads are all read and taken seriously. Not that they will necessarily use the ideas ... next year. They might wait a couple of years until you forget what you suggested.

Oh and anything Dave says might be a hint, or not. I think he thrives on creating ambiguity.
