[CharlieSheensDealer]

Hey Applejack! Happy Thursday!

What are the chances of awarding the winner of my scavenger hunt event - Week of Covers! | Coverart Scavenger Hunt - with a RIDDLER badge? Cuz that would be really cool Thanks!

[iJest]

Good evening, Applejack!! I hope you had a great start to 2020.

Are we going to see 2020’s original series release schedule sometime soon?

I did not mean to click on the year sub and would like to cancel my sub and get my money back

Hi @Applejack

Where is the list of possible badges one can earn?

Doesn’t seem to be in the faqs and not in the suggestion box badge topics either. I know it was here at one point, but I can’t find it. Tried snooping around on both the iPhone app and a browser and no love.

There is an FAQ on clearance levels, maybe some brief info on badges could be put in???

Hi @wdavid_89.86751, I’m not Applejack but I’ll be happy to help you, if you go to DC costumer service they’ll be happy to help you. Here’s a link Submit a request – DC Universe Help Center

Happy Thursday evening to our local hero, @Applejack!

I have a few questions that I had submitted to the Suggestions thread but was eager to understand more about my asks. I hope you don’t mind that I popped them into Office Hours.

• Undo & Redo Buttons in the Editor

• Community-Linked Comic Threads

• Availability of Books in the DCU Store

Thank you!

[Reaganfan78]

I like the picture! @Applejack should put that in her profile picture if she wanted to.

[Applejack]

Oh hai everyone! I hope the week’s been treating you well DC Universe re-opened its office doors this Monday, and we aren’t fooling around!

I’m just grabbing my evening tea, and I’ll be back in a jiffy to answer this week’s fresh batch of questions

For those who haven’t attended Office Hours before, this is how it works:

Those who answered a question last week will be answered first. This means if you asked last Friday, the answer will come up soon! But if it was asked recently, say, in the last hour or so, it will be answered closer to 7:00pm PST (depending on my typing speed and the relative breadth of previous questions).

Tea time!

[Applejack]

Wow sorry, our hot water is way too far away. Let’s begin!

[Reaganfan78]

Hi Applejack ,
Now that some people fill out the club form, is there a on line interview before having a club accepted? And no I’m not trying to be funny.

[Applejack]

@CharlieSheensDealer

Lol I didn’t even really think about it until after I made my little post about Cyclone, but if I had to pick a DC doppelganger for myself, it would have to be Maxine Hunkel. I totally look like Cyclone in real life.

I’m not jealous

[Applejack]

@MovieAddict

MUCH appreciated @Reaganfan78. It was the worst night I have experienced since starting there nearly 7 years ago. Let’s just say, tonight truly represented Arkham Asylum…

I have a lot of admiration for the work you do, @MovieAddict. It takes a true calling and I’m so grateful I can offer some moments of unwinding.

@Vroom

@Applejack That McFarlane DC Multiverse Batgirl action figure…would you trample kids standing outside Target at opening to get your mitts on it when it comes out (and friend, it’s out soon!)?

The kids in question would be of the mean, snobby, pretentious, bratty, bitchy (to the point where Veruca Salt looks like an angel in comparison), uppity, yack in the ballpit at Chuck E. Cheese (and Cheesy Charlie’s o’er in Quahog) yuppy larva variety that came about by way of defective Trojan products, so maybe that would make it easier to cruise over the li’l ankle biters, Waylon Smithers-style, hmmm?

Seriously though, it’s a sweet figure.

I sincerely appreciate you making the children extra trample-able, but entirely unnecessary. It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine.

[Applejack]

@Nathan.Payson

I haven’t reached out yet. We need to get some ground under us after the winter hiatus.

@Reaganfan78, like @Nathan.Payson says, I’m just waiting for the invite! Convention season is upon us too, so lots of opportunities to reach out

Hi @Applejack
I asked a couple months ago and you said to bring it up again in the new year.

What’s the plan for Meta Madhouse this year?
We gonna be able to get real brackets this year?
Release the brackets a week to 10 days before the voting starts.
Use CBS Sports bracket infrastructure to do brackets, leaderboard, points system.
Maybe the first bracket is free, than every other bracket somebody does is $1 each and donate all the proceeds to children’s literacy or some such worthy cause.
I would think something around literacy would be good. Comic books are a good way for kids to learn to read and keep reading. But, that’s just me. DC already has ties to the USO, that could work too.

I’ve got $20 burning a hole in my pocket for a real, honest to goodness bracket challenge this year. And I think if the proceeds were going to charity, I think it would do well. There are certainly plenty of very giving people around here.

And as a side note, if we can get real brackets and points system and all. I’d nudge DC & WB to see if we could get some “celebrity” brackets as well Tom King, Jim Lee, the @DCDaily team, Marv Wolfman, Andrea Romano, Echo Kellerman, etc, etc, etc… whoever you could get to do a bracket. See how the folks around here do relative to DC folks “in the biz”.

It’s not like I’m ambitious about this our anything. But I do think Meta Madhouse is a great idea, fun for the community and a great way to raise money for a worthy cause. I think you gotta admit, it would bring the fan engagement experience to new and higher level. A place where no non-sports media platform has ever gone before.

Thank you for bringing this up! We had a nice long meeting about MM today, and I’m so excited for applying our learnings from last year and our current ambitious brainstorming. While we won’t be able to achieve your level of vision in regards to the technical aspect (you can expect a similar setup to last year), I am very excited for how we are making the brackets more meaningful in a broad sense.

Save your $20, while we would love to do a charitable event it’s as yet unprecedented for us, and we simply don’t have the bandwidth for running the traps at this time.

[Reaganfan78]

Please have Penguin and Stargirl as part of Meta Madhouse this year! Thankyou.

@mikebaldwin

Hi @Applejack let me start off by saying that i love everything on here especially the shows. Doom patrol and harley Quinn have made laugh numerous times. Young justice season 3 is everything i wanted and more and titans has given me another good installment for the team that got me into comics in the first place.

With all that being said though i am really only able to watch the shows on my phone or tablet and was wondering if you could tell us if/when the app will be coming to ps4 or lg smart TVs in 2020.

I really do love this app but id be lying if said i wasn’t frustrated and a little sick and tired of having to watch everything on a small screen that i either have to try and set up on a stand or hold in my hand for the entire episode.

I completely understand your frustration. I too am a PS4 streamer, and when I work from home I think “oh…right.” I’m afraid I can’t divulge our plans at this time, but we do have aspirations of getting on those platforms

@Reaganfan78

Hi Applejack​,
I have a couple of things to ask or say,

1. I think there’s a small glitch on a board when it comes with numbers, for some weird reasons it changed my writing like couple of weeks ago when I ask alot of questions. And happened the 2nd time when playing Tuesday trivia question! Thought I let you know.

Hmmmmm… I’m sorry to say I’ll need more information to really understand the issue. Is there a chance you could take some screenshots and submit it to our Suggestion Box: Community Feedback topic? This way, all the moderators will see the report and we can process the issue quickly. It’s a super efficient way to make sure we’re tracking all the issues in the proper channels; here in Office Hours, I only see them once a week. Any more details you provide would be great!

2. I was looking at my past post comments from my profile page, I’ve post so many comments and post like this, is there a way to reach the bottom faster or stay in place after backing out from the thread the comment was post on?

Thankyou as always!

Hmmm… Great question! Something like the “quick search” bar we have alongside topics on the right hand side, or maybe even a “sort” feature, like “date of post” or something. We’ll look into this!

[Applejack]

@manifest

thanks for being here … heard any rumors about Harley animated series collectibles …

*Ivy in particular, I should say

No little birdies have flown this way yet, but Harley Quinn Animated is quite popular- AND we just released a bunch of the in-show mugs in the shop!

Hello Applejack ,
A Few days ago I made a thread about Barbara Gordon in a Killing Joke, will the…

Comic or the…

Animated movie of it will be here soon? I’m not a fan of it, but I know alot of DC fans would be happy to see it.

Oooh love, seeing the images! I think you’re right, Killing Joke would make a big splash here. I’ll pass the request along

Side note, I really enjoyed reading the debates and different opinions on that Barbara Gordon topic. We have so many intelligent viewpoints here!
