Close to New Questions

LauraMac · 09-29-2005, 10:51 AM

Adventure Gamers is asking that you cut off new questions.

There are so many now, the odds of anything new being answered are fairly slim and David only has 10 fingers [when last we checked] and can't pound out answers any faster than he is.

We are asking politely to consider giving our gracious guest some breathing room to get to what has already piled over the top of the forum and out into the hall.

Course we could get testy - but you don't want to see that.

So read what's been said, comment on David's answers or just drift over to the bar and have a drink on us instead.

But end the questions for now. Thanks!

Laura, is there a way to prevent some new questions being asked for the time being? There are now 3 pages of unanswered questions.

Only ten fingers?

>>>>Grwaar...Graajt!<<<<

"That's nice of you, but I don't think he could properly appreciate it. It's easy to misinterpret. Thank you anyway, Mister Grue."

I didn't quite catch that. What did he say?

"Oh, he just offered to relieve David of some of his fingers. It's a considered a compliment and sign of great appreciation among Grues, to remove someone else's talons. I think they easily regrow their talons, though."

Oh, I see.

"Exactly."

finding out - guess we could close new threads from people who can't take a request nicely

***fov*** · 09-29-2005, 11:03 AM

Yeah, at this point any new questions posted will be locked. They can be reopened if there's any time left at the end.

EDIT: I'm also going to start merging threads that are asking the same question.

Perhaps he might be able to stay a bit late since he arrived 45 min late? Not a criticism, just a hopeful thought.

We considered the extra time. Just too many questions haven't even been gotten to.

But I bet his typing skills will be off the charts after this

But if posts are all answered we can open any threads that get temporarily locked - good idea Fovily

squarejawhero · 09-29-2005, 11:20 AM

He's actually got eight fingers and two thumbs.

Yeah, that's a good idea, fov. We're really getting inundated.

Oh, poo. I was hoping to send him a copy of Typing Of The Dead to help him out.

If I happen to find a copy cheap I'll send it to you. I'm still scouting for one for my sister, she's a master at 75+ wpm and she loved the demo.

Well, it is true. Some are highly intelligent teenagers only wanting to kill zombies*. Or was it retard adults?

Too late.

And nobody asked Mr. Cage the interesting questions like if he really thinks mice, keyboards and gamepads are the perfect fit for an approach like this one.
