To participate in the column, send your question to sacco@wow.com with the subject line "AAFL" (this is important!). I'll grab my favorite questions each week and answer them -- err, have the faction leaders answer them.

I've submitted one for Greymane a few moments ago :D
Ty for bringing back AAFL!

Sylvanas, do you like your belly button licked?

What happen with Ysiel Windsinger of the Cenarion Expedition? I wanna know the true about about the Cenarion scheme to ninja and monopolize all the environmental protection fronts? What she really think about the Earthen Ring? And how she has being working with the original orcs shamans from Draenor?
This was my letter to Ysiel:
"Lady Windsinger,
Many of walks of life, that we the choose to follow, have a main or visual organization that groups all and create a place in were we can share as a whole. For example, I myself follow the path of the Holy Warrior, therefore I’m a proud and exalted member of the Argent Crusade. The Priest have the Church of Light or the Cult of Shadow. The Shamans has the Earthen Ring. The Druids the Cenarion Circle. For me, the Druids have create a very large and monopolistic corporation who deal with the balance and the natural order of things, this corporation has establish several small organization directly controlled by the Circle, that like your Expedition, have grown to become an autonomous organizations, almost independent of the Circle's corporative headquarters on Azeroth. What do you say about the incoming rumor of a lawsuit from the Shamans of the Earthen Ring, clamming that you have steal and monopolized the keeping of the balance in Azeroth and in the destroyed Draenor?
Sincerely,
Erknost,
Human Holy Paladin, proud member of the Argent Crusade."

E-Mail already re-send.

I'm not sure if I'm going to like this, the old one was fun and I was always looking forward to which faction leader would come up next to try and think of questions specific to them. This seems like AAFL meets The Queue and chances are there are going to be a lot of the same questions over and over.
And I too was wondering about what happened to Ysiel Windsinger, I had sent in a question and I like Erknost's question.

Focusing on a single Faction Leader allowed the writer to build a caricature around multiple answers. The new format will certainly challenge the writer to develop the character in so short a space. I look forward to building on the existing characters, though, particularly the Bronzebeards and Tirion Fordring, the latter of whom had the best quote of any interview:
"I could offer a repeatable quest to slap a handful of kittens and people would do it if I gave them a little pet for it. And they'd drop the kittens off a cliff for a mount."
I hope to see a few more columns dedicated to a single faction leader among the new format, though; there are certainly a few more colorful characters out there that have not had their portraits done.

Dear Lich King,
If you were a culinary dish, what would you be and why?
Love,
Dyax, your favourite Troll Mage

Every edition needs to have at least half the questions answered by the Brothers Bronzebeard.

Sylvanas don't you consider an act of tyranny crush down the Gilneas village and exile their people, I didn't expect such decision from you. Wasn't enough get your revenge against Arthas?

Somewhere out there, some Grammar police just spit out their coffee and punched the sirens.

I'm excited, but not really enthusiastic about this change. I think there were still a lot of leaders to be addressed, and would have preferred a change to Ask an NPC instead. The one-off random questions don't let you get a sense of the character in the same way that you can with a full 'interview'

so regent lord Lor'Themar. Why are you still a regent? I mean cant the blood elves all agree that Kael'Thas is not our leader anymore and to just make your position permanent.
Chivvy Jun 18th 2010 2:33AM
Dear Lor'Themar,
Who the heck are you, anyway?

Dear Malfurion Stormrage; King Varian Wrynn; Ysiel Windsinger; Warchief Thrall; Dragonqueen Alexstrasza; Lord Bolvar Fordragon (Valiance Expedition); Bolvar Fordragon, the Lich King; Arthas, the Lich King; Kil'Jaeden; Illidan Stormrage; Lady Jaina Proudmoore and Rhonin,
Do you feel insulted at having not been given your own articles prior to now? Do you feel as if you were left out, or forgotten? Do you feel like you really should have had your own dedicated articles, considering you are all such important Azerothian figures?
Indecisive, Human Death Knight

Also, how does Mekkatorque kee his svelte figure? And what's Vol'Jin's favorite band? L70ETC?

Dear Sylvanas Windrunner.
If there was a cure for the Plague of undeath would you take it and/or support your people to take it?
If so would you and the forsaken elves rejoin the sindori and let the forsaken humans become a faction as The Horde kingdom of Lorderon or Just keep your empire the way it is except being alive?
Do you feel insulted that there is no memorial to you in Silvermoon?
If your new plague worked in turning the world undead would you release it to the Blood elves and High elves?
Thanks.

I prefer the old format, when it was focused on a single leader.
ladydeth Jun 18th 2010 12:52PM
So glad you are bringing the faction leader back.......honestly a great break from the serious and mundane world.
Nina Katarina Jun 18th 2010 1:22PM
Vol'jin,
De Agony of Da Feets, mon. You know what I'm sayin? Northrend be cold, cold ground. Why can't I find the nice foot wraps?
