Reminder: Former TNT "AMA" on reddit

UPDATE 3: Want a (relatively) short rundown of the highlights from the AMA? Check out our AMA write up. It's sorted into different sections based on question content, with the full answers provided. (We stripped out some of the fluff of the questions for easier reading.
UPDATE 2: The AMA is now over! Check out the Q&A! We'll put together a highlights/"best of" over the next couple days. Also, for those wondering about NeoQuest I door...
UPDATE: The AMA is now live! Be sure you read their rules/post so you don't ask anything that can't be answered. As a reminder, do not discuss this on Neopets. Moderators take a dim view of mentioning reddit.
As a reminder, today at 3pm NST, Dirigibles, Mr. Insane, Viola, and Snarkie will be on reddit answering your questions! (IAmA = I am a ____, typically followed up with "ask me anything")
To ask a question, you'll need to register for a reddit account. Be warned, though, that the IAmA community has over 12,000,000 users subscribed, so it will be a potentially very large thread!
We'll update this post with a link to the thread once it goes live.

Update: The GMC is now live!
If you were expecting the GMC to start yesterday - have no fear! The GMC's FAQ has updated, and it will be starting later today. This year's theme is Good vs Evil, with Jazan and Razul representing the teams:
When does the Games Master Challenge start and end?
The Games Master Challenge will begin on the afternoon (NST) of November 22nd. Day 1 will end at 11:59:59 pm NST on November 23rd. Each day after that will be a typical 24 hour day from midnight to 11:59:59 pm. The Games Master Challenge will end at 11:59:59 pm on November 29th.
What is the difference between Team Heroes and Team Villains?
While there is some overlap in the challenges that the teams will receive, generally speaking, a lot of the games will be based specifically on the challengers.
Is AAA involved in this year's GMC?
AAA is back and ready to watch two well-known Neopians duke it out again this year. AAA has recruited the help of Jazan and Razul to serve as the team captains in this year’s Games Master Challenge and settle once for all which is better, the side of good, or the side of evil. Both are prepared to lead their respective teams in a week-long competition and see whose squad has the better gamers.
How do I help my team?
You can earn points for your team by participating in the challenges.
What is the meter?
The meter keeps track of which team is winning. At the end of the event, participants on the winning team will receive a prize.
What do the check marks mean on the Progress page?
When you complete a challenge on the day it is released, a gold checkmark will appear over the challenge icon. If you complete a challenge on a day other than the day it was released, then the checkmark will be green.
Are there different lists of qualifying games for each team?
No, the list of qualifying games is the same for both teams. This is a complete list that includes all of the qualifying games for both teams.
How do timed challenges work?
There are a few challenges during the GMC that will be timed. Once a challenge’s timer has been activated, you will have 12 hours to complete that challenge. If you do not complete the challenge in the time given, you will not receive credit or a prize for that challenge.
Once I have selected my team, can I change it later?
No. Once you have selected your team, you are locked in for the duration of the event.
Does each team have the same number of challenges?
Yes. No matter which team you select, the level of participation required is exactly the same.
