Going over every page with a fine toothed comb in the way you're describing takes all the fun out of the game. It would be tedious to the nth degree.

Give Hom some credit as a veteran puppetmaster. He knows what kind of gameplay works and what kind doesn't. You'll know when you're supposed to do something. I know a lot of you are excited about the prospect of the game finally getting underway, but sometimes you just have to sit back and relax.

Oh... Embarassed Ok. I just thought that it would be a convenient way to share the load of anagraming and searching some of the names and stuff that showed up in the Sentinel.

Nevermind Embarassed

The concept is good and good organisation would prevent too many people repeating things that have already been discovered/specced. So well done for adding your idea to the pile. Unfortunately it seems that it's not as pratical as it sounds. One of those things that are 'Easier said than done.'

Please don't get despondent though. You may have another great idea that will blow this whole game wide open, so keep thinking.

Cheers! Very Happy

I was going to say that making a team for this now doesn't make sense because everyone has done the fine tooth comb review already and if anyone had found anything it would be posted.

I am willing to bet that google has lots of hits for words like "ceretin" and names like "Micheal Corolla."

Hear hear! Some of us our proud of our lack of ability specialism and considedr ourselves to be the icing on the big ARGy cake. Don't forget (those of you that are taking a big bite of the cake) that if you inhale as you open your mouths that icing sugar will get up your nose and make you sneeze.

Surprised

I DO have a specialism...the over-extended metaphor Exclamation

Then again...perhaps not Shocked

Anyway... I wasted my time the other day trying to decode that white black thing and I put it in binary and it came up with gibberish. It kind of sucks...

So are you also suggesting that the Academy is a brothel, and the Cube is actually some sort of S&M device??

Well lets hope so... Very Happy

I'm not sure I want teams, but I would love to be able to easily check if people had tried something. People post when they have got something, and I know that a lot of people discuss things on IRC, but if you don't happen to be on IRC, or don't have access, oftentimes you have no way of knowing that something has been tried, and not worked.

This just means that you can end up spending loads of time checking out something that doesn't work all over again. For example, on Sentinel, which images have been looked at, does that include all the ads, what has been done, has someone destegged, has someone played with the colours eg two different whites in the bank ads?

I'm not sure how, especially if it is going to be easy to reference?
