Ouch! By the Nine Hells, where did that post come from? ... If you're trying to restrict membership of PPG, you're going the right way about it. ... I think you can tell that I'm totally disappointed and disgusted by your reponse to the question.
Indeed, I myself thought that my response was laced with perhaps
too much bile...but then I looked back over Tob's post and decided that my tone was justified, due to his multiple offenses:
1) He resurrects a thread that's been dead for more than a year and a half.
2) He knows perfectly well that his comment is off topic. ("however, the question i was looking to answer has not yet been dealt with in this thread.")
3) He follows the unfortunate habit of "solving" puzzles in the game by refusing to expend even a single neuron on them, and instead going to some walkthrough on GameBanshee or wherever to find the answer--in
this case, he was clearly in such a rush to get the answer that he never even knew what the question
was in the first place.
4) He
POSTS the answer to the puzzle on a public forum, with no spoiler tag naturally, and on a completely unrelated thread. How would you feel if, as a newbie, you looked at a thread discussing the Find Familar spell, and suddenly found yourself reading every detail of the Pantaloons business?
So yeah, it's possible I scared this guy away from Pocket Plane for life. But I might note that he doesn't exactly seem the type to contribute many interesting modding ideas or experience. Let the folks at Spellhold Studios deal with the guy whose screen name is so close to the acronym for Throne of Bhaal.
(In my own defense, I should note that I'd been calling myself SixOfSpades for
years before Shadows Over Soubar came out.)
