Best wishes to Amlug, RockX, and the other former turbine employees. You will be missed.

Heh, Yula, sarcasm seems entirely lost on you. I think Dotlbeme knew that was 12.3. He was using sarcasm to make the point that there HAS been an update recently which might have introduced the change Tuco noted.

I only accept sarcasm in written form when it is between the [sarcasm] and [/sarcasm] tags. The body language and vocal tonal components that signify jokes, sarcasm and other types of communication do not come thru. There is no good way to tell for example - bad joke - totally clueless - absolutely serious in writing unless you are talented writer that builds a context around it.

I know plenty of people that would say something like what Dotbeme wrote as a given fact in real life. Many of them are blood relatives like cousins.

I always take whatever someone writes or says as a statement of fact or opinion when I am in doubt. Remember if you are talking to someone. They are totally serious and you make fun of their statement. You are making them feel bad and reducing their self esteem. I rather have the person laugh and go. Yula that was sarcasm or a joke. Instead of having them look at me hard - not happy - Yula making fun of me.

And great thanks for all your work on a game I've grown to enjoy very much.

I think we've reached an unfortunate conclusion to the discussion here. As I mentioned earlier it is not my place, nor yours, to invade the privacy of those impacted. While I can understand some of you feel you have a 'right to know' I will remind you that those individual's right to privacy trumps it.
